Tho pilots and observers are call

order for the night are read aloud
by the commanding officer. Maps
are collected, and photographs of the

with the surroundings as they appear
from the air.
Then they hurry away to their
rooms, and get ready tor the long
flight through the cold night skies.
Heavy sweaters are donned ; and
soft leather thigh boots lined with
white fleece are pulled on over thick
woolen stockings. Mufflers are

The airmen climb Into over-all suits

lined leather helmeti and goggles
are put on, and yellow whale oil is
smeared over the face to. prevent
frost bite. Then, gathering up their
thick fur gloves, their torches and
maps, their sandwiches and vaccum
flasks, their note-books and pencils,
the airmen straddle awkwardly out
to the aerodrome where the great
machines stand silently in a dim
line, ready to burst into life at the
order to start.
The first of the big machines slow
ly taxlcs across the aerodrome, turns
to face the wind, halts a little and
then, gathering momentum every
second, it rushes across the grass
and climbs up Into the night till It
can no longer be seen, and Its two
wlng-tlp lights, like fiery eyes, alone
show where It moves In the darkness.
For several minutes Its pulsing drone
can be heard as It climbs In great
circles over the aerodrome. Every
eye Is turned upwards watching the
little lights. Suddenly a ball of red
appears In the sky, drops slowly, and
dies out. It Is a signal describing
the weather conditions up aloft, and
conveying an order to those on the
ground.
One by one the huge machines
glide out Into the middle of the field,
thunder across the grass, and rise,
soaring to tho stars. For a time,
their murmur tills the skies, but
soon a heavy silence descends on the
aerodrome; while In the' east beyond
the German lines, can be seen the
pale fingers of th groping search
lights.

SAVE AIL DEER HUES
FOU USE OF AVUtDKtS
The nucleus of an organization was
formed in Roseburg at the county
clerk's olflce, bating for its object
the saving of deer hides for making
aviation Jackets, says the Roseburg
Review In all Urge cities the sight
of receptacles fur disposal of worn
out kid gloves for that purpose li
familiar. It has been found that
buckskin, properly tanned,' ia an ex
cellent article, suitable for the same
purpose. Thousands of good deer
skins yearly go to waste In Oregon
alone, owing to the fact that the av
erage hunter will not take the pain
to aave the bide.
It is determined to make an effort
this year to save this valuable ma
terial, and for that purpose a club
has been formed to look after the
hides and make this aa Important
contribution toward winning the war.
It Is proposed to make everyone fur
nishing a deer hide a member of this
club. A neat card showing member
ship will be issued to each contribu
tor.

Pass Creek Canyon, In Douglas
county, Just south of the Lane coun
ty line, will have a good macadam
road Us entire length by fall, says
the Cottage Grove Sentinel. Thia is
good news to motorists, who tor sev
eral years past have declared this
stretch of Pacific highway to be the
worst between Portland and San
Francisco with the exception of some
stretches between Dunsmuir and
Redding, Cal. Contractors are now
working on the road in Pasa Creek
canyon and the grading has been
practically completed. While the
roadbed in lta present condition Is
rough for automobile travel, It Is
wide and the turns have been made
safe from collisions as the automo
biles round them. The work of
spreading the crushed rock has al
ready been started' in places, and by
the. time the fall rains begin the con
tractors expect to have it completed.
With the installation of the over
head crossing a Divide, at the north
ern end ot the canyon, and the Im
provement of about a mile of road in
Lane county from the Douglas coun
ty line north, this will be one of the
best parts of the entire Pacific high
way. The bad places in the highway be
tween Dunsmuir and Redding
are
rapidly being replaced by standard of - "copy" received dally from gov
hlahwav construction, with easy Urn mental departments. The articles
grades and wide turns, and It is ex
pected that by a year from this fall
the work will have been completed.

Washington, Aug. 16. The march
of events in Russia from news re
ceived today seems to be rapidly as
suming the proportions ot a route) of
the Bolshevlkl and a nature to bring
dismay to Germany.
With allied troops rapidly moving
south from Archangel, forces ot Brit
ish, French. Japanese and Americana
troops at Vladivostok and operating
to the westward, and a British force
st Baku, the Cxecho-Slovaks bare
taken new heart in their heroic fight
against the Germans and Austrlans.
Late dispatches today recorded the
advance of the allied troops from
Archangel to Paberespskaia, 100
miles south, on the road to Vologda.
The Bolshevlkl are retreating and
were reported commuting ever?
known atrocity upon the civilian
population which openly espoused
the cause of the allies.
The Bolshevlkl throughout Russia
are reported not only fleeing the ad
vancing allies, but the newly aroused
Russian who have learned that the
allies are not beaten on the west
front, as the Germans and Bolshevlkl
have, been persistently preaching.
As the real news reaches the
great mass ot the people the men
are reported taking np the arms that
they carried home with them when
they were disbanded after the de
bacle of BresULitovsk. .,4
Reports, official and otherwise,
from all parts of Russia indicate the
news ot the appoarch ot the allies
spreading throughout the country
and that peasants are flocking to the
standards of any group openly anti
German and antl-BoIshevikl.
The landing ot American troops at
Vladivostok, announced yesterday by
Secretary Baker, marks the actual
beginning ot operations from the Si
berian coast to the relief ot the
Cxecho-Slovaks.
British and French contingents
have been at Vladivostok tor several
days and there la reason to believe
that the Japanese have also landed.
The principal opposition by the
Bolshevlkl and the armed German
and Austrian prisoners Is on the Si
berian railroad between Lake Baikal
and Vladivostok.
PUBLICITY MATTER FOR

The Courier today received six col

vertising ot the fourth Liberty loan.
this In addition to the many columns
were prepared by paid clerks, the
plate company was paid for the
plates and the express company was
paid for delivery of plates, but tha
newspapermen ot the entire district
are asked to give the six columns ot
space free. They will do It too, for
they. realize that the success of the
campaign Is based on newspaper pub
licity and the patriotic publishers ot
the country will do everything in
their power to ensure the success ot
the campaign, and will also sub
scribe tor bonds. But why the news
papers are asked to donate their
stock In trade when all other busi
ness men are paid for their commod
ity, la a ifuestlon which remains unanswered.
