OF
LOXDOJf. Xov. 27. Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) 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.

WORSE THAN THE FLU.
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. Then I bceamo
a prospector and miner. Then I tend
ed bar.---Later, I . ran a snloon.. J
can't think of any job I haven't done
except to wait on table and herd
sheep. Of course. I mean outdoor
lobs. I never did anv ladylike work,
like beine a bookkeeper or working;
in a bank except a faro bank.
"For vears I kept thinking I would
go back and live in mv boyhood home.
Jacksonville. 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. I remember-.
cd how . rich Jackson creek and Rich
gulch were. I remembered Reekmants
bank and the -Bedrock suloon.'nnd old
man Helm, who rafl'it. - I rcuieniberetf

packers with their pack horses, used
to come and go between Yreko, Cres
cent City, Scott's Bar and the other
camps. I wanted to go back. At last
I did.
"Talk about vour tragedies. J stav
ed there just two hours. I was blue
and homesick for weeks afterward.
I wish I had never gone back. The
old Jacksonvile wns cone. Only its
ghost remained. - It was gone the
same place the packers and stocc
drivers had gone. Jacksonville could
.have been a citv. 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

. "Troatment. medlalnes, change of
climate nor anything else helped me
until I got Tanlac," said John Uon
lcli, a wall knowu tiollur maker cm-
ployed by the Union Iron Works of
Son Francisco and living at 2-tSB
Greenwich avenuo, recently. For
eight years, boforo .coming to San
Francisco, Mr. Benlch-was. boiler
maker tor the Union Pacific railroad
In Kansas City, Mo. Air. 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. Some
times I was dreadfully constipated
and at othor times was troubled from
lust the opposite condition. . 1 just
tried everything that wnsv .recom
mended 'hut -couldn't find anything
that would help nic. s I- took two
special courses of treatment, - aud
even sent to Italy for a medlelun a
friend of mine claimed wonders for.
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. I sleep like a log for
eight or cine hourv every night and
wish I had time to sleop more. Tan
lac has done me more good than
everything else put togethor and lny
only regret Is that 1 didn't novo It
before I left my own homo In Kansas
City." , .
