AMERICAN AIRCRAFT MAKE
GOOD
American airplanes are at last ar
riving in numbers in France, they
stand severe tests and the great raid
of a few days ago implies that they
are already doing deadly execution
among the Huns, says the Oregon
Ian. A captain in the air service
who recently returned from the
front is quoted by General Kenly as
saying that the first De Havlland
four-bombing planes with Liberty
motor arriving at the assembling
station in France on May 13 and
needed some changes, but that each
succeeding shipment evidenced bet
ter care, and when he left on August
20 they were very satisfactory. Their
performance was very good, and
plane and motor bad become popular
with pilots. They were arriving at
the rate of 15 to 18 a day. -The
French government would gladly
take every Liberty motor we could
not nse ourselves.
Successful tests have also been
made in this country with American-
buHt Caproni biplanes, equipped with
Liberty motors. On the first test
one of these machines more than
met expectations of allied army of
ficers, though a stiff wind was blow
ing. In the second test the same
machine carried 12 civilian passen
gers weighing more than a ton. It
reached a maximum height of 8,885
feet and a minimum of 600 feet, thus
breaking both high and low altitude
records for planes carrying 2,205
pounds live weight, and attained :
speed of 105 miles an hour. Lieu
tenant Parvls, an Italian ace, who
was one of the pilots is quoted as
saying of the Liberty motor:
"There is nothing like it. I have
flown fourteen hours with a Liberty
motor and have not had the slightest
trouble. I have always had trouble
with other motors, some times ser
ious trouble, after flying ten hours."
So at last we are getting results
from the painful struggle to produce
aircraft, now that the automobile
manufacturers are confining their
attention to making motors and are
leaving airplane manufacturers to
build planes. Before spring many
German cities will make acquaint
ance with 'American airplanes, and
will cower and cringe before a dose
of the medicine they have given to
London and Paris, the wounded and
their nurses.
CHILD LABOR IN AUSTRIA

to prevent the employment of chil

labor except farm and household
tasks.
Some. of the statistics given fur
nish a striking Illustration of the
danger of letting down the bars in
this matter of protecting children.
It is said that more than one-third
of all the children of school age are
working. Eighteen out of 100 be
tween the ages of six and eight years
are working; 35 out of 100 between
nine and ten; 50 out of 100 between
11 and 12; 52 out of 100 between
12 and 13.
dren have been working since they
were five or six years old. Ninety
five out of 100 work during the
school year as well as through the
holidays. Many of them work 52
weeks a year.

why liquor In wholesale quantities

near Rose-burg by Deputy Sheriff
Hopkins of Douglas county. Hun

confiscated In Douglas county and
about $2,000 In tines Imposed at
Roseburg in the past two weeks
from the several wholesale auto
smugglers apprehended.
Chief Timothy had been watching
Trlplett's room for a week or more.
He says that last Tuesday night the

THE DELIVERER
The account of General Allenby's
entrance into Jerusalem is Important
for many reasons, not the least of
which is its association with an old
Arab prophecy.
It is said that AlLenby entered the
Holy City "Modestly, on toot, as a
Christian approaching the shrine of
his faith."
The prophecy runs like this:
"He that shall deliver Jerusalem
will enter on foot, and his name will
be Alah-Xabi."
The resemblance between event
and prophecy, oven to the detail of
names, is marked.
DRUMSTICKS
When the allied warships entered
the harbor of Beirut, the chief sea
port of Syria, they found the town
evacuated. The Turks had fled.
Which reminds us of a little poem:
What dost thou think of drum
sticks?" I asked the barnyard bird.
And as he slowly strutted by,
He answered with this word
"They're good to eat, and good to
beat.
But sure as I am living,
They're best to run away on,
The week before Thanksgiving."
Nevertheless and notwithstanding,
Turkey will be served at that allied
Thanksgiving dinner, along with
Hunnish pork and 'Bulgarian bully
beef.

A SWELL BOOZE PARTY
A raid made by Chief of Police
Timothy and Night Policeman Ad

at midnight Friday night broke up a
drinking party and resulted in the
arrest of State Policeman Charles
Smlthers, 20 years old, and an In

of Josephine county, and two young
women, says the Medford Tribune.
The room raided was that of Sergt.

was In Portland at the time, but who
was arrested on his return from that
city Friday night, as Chief Timothy
claims that for som time he has

Trlplett's home Is in Springfield,

sage SEND US NEWS FROM HOME.
World news is all right, but OUR BOYS
want NEWS OF THIS TOWN, They want
the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented
from sending their papers free to anyone, even
boys in the service. Consequently a national
movement has been started by Col. William
Boyce Thompson of New York, who is acting
as President of the Home Paper Service of
America to give the boys what they are tailing
for. . Every community is joining the movement
Lt us see that our boys are not forgotten.
Send to the publisher of this newspaper
whatever amount of money you can 6
cents or $50.00. We will publish a list
each week of those contributing, and the
amounts contributed.
Every cent received will be used to send
this paper to our boys at the front. If at
the end of the war, there is any surplus, it
will be turned over to the local Red Cross
Committee.
There is no profit in this to the publisher
even in normal times, subscriptions are not sold
a.t a profit. With war prices prevailing, and the
nigh rate of postage on papers sent to France,
our cost will scarcely be covered by our full
subscription price.
