The military correspondent of the Times, uivinp further Impression of his recent visit to the British front, replies to criti cisms made of the types of airplanes used hy the British, lie believes that the lutest type of the British plane its equal to the G'ermau, but that a greater number of them Is needed. This machine is operated by a lone aviator and carries two guns. In reference to the wear and tear of machines and the strain on the pilots, the correspondent says that the life of an airplane does not exceed two months, while the pilots who arc mostly J9 or 20 years old, have to WASHINGTON', May 8.

Delegates will lie jirt-seiit from California as well as Washington, for it is important that Oregon highways he modernized in ord'-r to secure tourist traffic for the entire nort Invest. The u.-cess of the state liond issue de tends, however. u.oii the teojte of Oregon, and the Tri-Ntatt-Association hopes to arouse sufficient enthusiasm to in sure a vigorous campaign and a large favorable vote in southern Oregon. For tiiis reason, if for no other, the as sociation's efforts should be heartily supported locally. The passage of the road bond issue means much to Ore gon much more to southern Oregon. Oregon has for years lagged behind her sister states in highway develop ment. The adoption of this definite program of construc tion, will enable the state to eateh up with California and Washington, and at no increase in taxation to the general public, for the entiie burden of interest and principal is paid by automobile owners with increased license fees. Farmers, stockmen and merchants all equally inter-' ested should help make the convention a success, (ireat things cannot be accomplished without expenditure of gen erous measure of work, time, energv and some nionevJ Of these Tri-State (mod Roads association has given most liberally. It desires to continue the work, so that Oregon may seeurp a constructive nighway program. The convention proceedings will be educational. Lead ing men will discuss the problems of highway construc tion and needs. 1 lie subject will be dissected and diagnos ed from every angle and much useful information impart ed.

FOR BELGIANS 10 BE WINTER WHEAT BREST LAYIf SUPPLY OF FLAGS COPENHAGEN, Mar It is offi cially pointed out by German news papers received here that the recent order of Emperor William concerning the deportation of Belgians did not contemplate the revocation of the measure of the return of all the per- sons deported, but only of those who were able to prove abundantly that they have been unjustly classified as unemployed. All other persons, says the newspa pers, w ho are capable of working will be detained in Germany. A wireless dispatch from Berlin March 1 S said that prominent Bel gians had appealed to Eemperor Wil liam to check the compulsory trans portation of Belgian workmen to Ger many and to send home Belgians w ho thus had been transported. The sign ers of the petition, the dispatch add ed. bad been Informed that the em peror had decided to submit their proposals to a thorough investigation by the governor-general in Belgium and had reserved his decision. In the meantime, however, it was said, that the emperor had ordered that persons erroneously designated as unmployed and who had been transported to Germany should be permitted to re turn to Belgium and that the com pulsory transportation of unemployed Belgians to Germany would be sus pended. i .
