LONDON. May S. 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. In the
fight for two months before they are faCe of a threatened world food short
much good. The strain is so great age the American winter wheat crop

three, six or nine months.
The writer contends that the Bri
tish have not enough men or enough
divisions In the field and says that
the severity of the present fighting
adds to the gravity of the question.

"depends on man-power and nothing

of assisting in tin- carrying of the six million dollar r-iad
bond L-- in- to Ik- voted liitoii lv the jn-oi.le of Oregon June
I. 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. Make it a point to attend.

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.
