For the allies to take 2.000 airplanes from Gcrmanv, in accordance with the terms of the armistice, means military crippling Germany in tho air beyond nope of early recovery, while im menscly addjpg to the aerial strength of the allies, says an aviation expert. This is emphasized, he soys that in five months of the Heaviest sir fieht- lug of the war. Germany lost some ' tlnnir like 2.700 machines. To this to. ta mast be added the destruction Trouirht, by. the French and American air services. . The expert asserts that for several months before the armistice, Ger many's capacity for producing air planes was unequal to the task of re placing her immense losses. This, he adds, was strikinclv illustrated bv the almost complete failure of her air arm during: the final and most critical phase of the war. The declaration of war by Great Britain at midnicht. Auirust 5. 1914. found the Rovnl Flyinir corps with only four sauadrons in beine repre sentiner well under 100 airplanes. Three of these- sauadrons (went in stantly to France. A new squadron followed these pioneers in about 10 days' time, while a fifth squadron. mobilized and sent out m 24 hours, reached the f iehting zone about the middle of September. .- In those early days of the war.ma chincs were used simply for strate sienl reuoDnnifisanco. It was not un til after the battle of the Aisne. when settled line warfare was established, that artillery fire control from the air, and the cruder forms of co-operation with the infantry were prac ticed and developed. ' As late as June, 1913. ordinary rifles,-with shortened barrels were ear ned by British pilots, and hand gren ades were flung at enemy aviators in the air. i'ue development of formation fighting and, the evolution of aerial minnory dates from about , this time. h,cn the machine gun became an cs-' senttnl part of the equipment of fiiiht. WS pilots and observers. . f "-Died Roy. Vestal, son of Mr, and Mrs. Sum Vestal, of lteese Creek; died in Portland last week of the in fluenza.

AFTER an exteudud 'session with 'the "flu", the editor is clad to be able to wish lus roudors n happy new year.; He returns to his desk with a real dread of the disease and its ravages, whii'h in many resioets l-esenibles the plagues that decimated Europe in niediuval times, and urges extreme (.'tuition in removing restrictions partieii' larly those affoctiuc assemblages. It is far better to put up with a few weeks of personal inconvenience in attending aiuus.enients and pubiie gath erings, far better for children to lose a few days' more of schooling, than to risk a recrudescence of the malady with its toll ot agouv and death. Upon one class of assemblage the ban should not be lifted however as a matter of public morality as. well as pubiie health. Reference is made to the uncontrolled and unregulated public dances, which are, active agents in spreading moral degeneracy, frequently haunts for boot leggers and usually pitfalls for ioolish girls and addle headed women whose parents lack sense of responsibility and duty. Any lodge or fraternal order which lends its name for a little tainted money to throw a curtain of camouflaged respectability over the professional promoters of this form of progressive depravity, ought to be ashamed of it self and lose its charter, for human welfare, friendship and fraternity, the objects for which secret orders are or ganized, can have nothing in common with the decadent purposes of these dances. ' TVe are not at all puritanical. We recognize the healthy desire M the young for amusement and recreation, and the almost universal esteem in which the dance is held. There is nothing evil or wrong in dancing itself. .But pub lic dances, like private dances, should be under strict su pervision or suppressed entirely. ; If parents will not safe guard their daughters, tho community, in its own interest must and a good way to begin the new year is td keep the lid ehunped down upon this vicious form of t'amuse meut " or place it under strict regulation. Jacksonville Pioneer Revisits Home (FVed Loekley in Portland Journal.) "I jruess I can ouulifv as a pioneer, all right," said the clerk at the cigar counter of the Prineville . hotel. "1 have lived in Oregon 63 years.' Mv name is John . Ross. Mv father, George Ross, ran a livery stable at Jacksonville, Southern Oregon, in the early days. Mv father's brother was General John E. Ross. -He was in the Indian wars of ISoo and 183G. nnd also in the Modoc war. I was bom December 6. 1855. 3V? miles north of Jacksonville, about a mile from where Bill Ilnnlcv was born, and not far from' where Colonel Robert E. Miller of Portland first saw the light "In mv day 1 have done things more exciting than selling gum and enndv. But times have changed. I was draw ing a man's wages when I was ,12 vears old. 1 did a man's work driving cattle from Jacksonville to Linkvillc. in Klnnutth county. I could ride any thing on four legs - in those duvs. When I was about 13 I got into the racing game as a jockov. Self and saddle weighed 3.) pounds. One of the first races I rode was at Jackson ville, along about 1S67 or 18CS. It was a 200 rard -race for $1,000 a side. I won, and the owner of -the horse I Irode f-lled tnv pocb?ts with gold pieces.- He made a killing betting on his horse. He gave me $250. 1 rode race horses for a good many years. When I. became too heavy to be a iockev I became a cowbov. work ing around Pendleton, Centerville and Walla Walla. Then I ran n pack train. Later I-drove stage. . Still lat er I ran a livcrv stable.

I remembered how, as a boy. I used to divert a little stream to flow over the corner of Young's place, . where bedrock - was near the surface,, and then, with my jaukknife scrape small nuggets and cold dust out of the cracks to buy powder and lead to go deer hunting.

That was before there was anv Medford. The railroad offered -to come through Jacksonville for $2.3.000. httt the cupiditv. stupidity and stubbornness of some of tbeJcud ing citizens of Jacksonville resulted in the railroad going p. few miles to the east,' leaving Jacksonville high and dry to dream in the sun tit the splen dor of her piist, ' It inakos. me home sick to think of it. , How, did von leave things in Kraiice?" : BYJPOLES AS PORT WAltSAW, Tuuiu Due. 81, (By Anaoclutod Press.)

Benleh owns his home in Kansas City, which he states ho left sometime ago In search of his health. "During the past year und a halt" he continued, "I have simply suf fered torture with my stomach. My food would sour almost as soon as I had eaten and gas would form and cause such terriblo cramping pains in the pit of my stomach that I could hardly stand them. 'Many a. night I have JuRt rolled and tossed all night long, so racked with pain that could not sleep. 1 also Buffered a Rrcat deal from Intestinal trouble.

I also tried llvlnp on a diet of very light things, -but kepi getting worse. I was losing weight and getting so nervous I could hardly do my work. At last I hocamo so miserable and uneasy about my condition that we packed up and movod hero to H?n Francisco, hoping tho change of ell mate and salt air would do the work that medicine had failed to do. "Hut everything disappointed me until my wife - read in tho papers about Tanlac and urged mo to try it. Well. I got me a bottle of Tanlac and when I finished tnklng it without feollng any bettor I Just thought, yes, more money thrown away. And then I decided maybe I hadn't given It fair trial, so I got the second bottle and my stomach hasn't glvon me the least bit of trouble slnco I finished taking it. I have taken three bottles now and talk about eating; My, I oat like a wolf and never havo n sign of gas nor a pain of any sort, and I'm always ready with a 'big appotlto for the next meal.
