bring victory to the Allied

aiade u. last voyage to America as a
proud member of the Teuton passenger
t, but for one difference. From its.

Soldiers "Outa Luck"
I ? OSO member? o0 the "Fighting
? .?tii." now t:,e 165th Infantry, decided
that the SOL sign that is used in the
arivy to designate those who are "sure
ou . luck," belonged to them when
they reached port. The arrival of the
majority of the regiment on the Har
: .bur.: Monday had given rise to the
belief that the New York organization
was .here in its entirety, tiius cutting
down the crowd that greeted the tinal
contingent to the minimum.
Moreover, a slow trip up the bay
?n ! extreme caution in bringing the
great craft to its clocks at lloboken
ted it from tying up to the Ameri?
h?re until nearly ,"> o'clock in the
?vening, which kept the fighters pris- |
on board overnight. This morn
ey will board ferryboats and be j
to Camp Mills, just eighteen
' ter than they had expected to
? ich shore.
Major Van Merle-Smith, in command
of the troops aboard the ship, an- '
d that even these mishaps had!
succeeded in crushing the epirit of
the men, however. When the mishaps
of the day threatened to bo rounded |
out by a disaster, <jue to tho slipping

69th's Band Eager to
Dfoplay Tataiil Monday
Regiment Proud of Miift.c.unt)
Who Braved Shell l'ire
to Cheer
' -iMP MILLS, N. V., April '..... When
the hand nf the lfl?th Infantry swings
by tho reviewing Mtunrl Monday, it wi'li
blare tortb the same tune thai It played
when crossing the Luxemburg line Into
Germany ''Garry Owen." Bitndinanti
Rdwln ?Itzman and f?ergoant Patrick
Stokes, his assistant, agreed on thin
yesterday in determining their musicu!
programme for the lino of man) .
It will be tho first time that Mew
Yorkers will review an enlisted man's
bond with the old 69th, Bandmaoter
/it/man said. In the National Guard
days, a combination of professional
musicians composed the musical repre?
sentation of the outfit. At Camp Mills
last. June, Bandmaster Zitzman, as?
signed from the 2d Field Artillery of
Brooklyn, where he organized the first
mounted band of the National Guard,
whipped a group of embryonic mu?
sicians into splendid playing shape.
The war record of the band is ?i**
enviable as that of the warring dough?
boys of the 60th. Three men, includin.
Sergeant Stoke.?*, were wounded by
shrapnel, while more than twenty-five
broke down under the terrific strain of
playing for battnlian after battalion
relieved from service in the trenches.
The band was on an average of iiva
kilom?tre.*! behind the front line, within
easy range of the enemy's gun*-.
Zitzman predicted that hundreds of
tourists at resorts along the Rhine will
hear tiny German urchins whistling
and singing, "Hail, hail, the gang's all
here," or humming the "Wearing of
the Green." The children of France
and Germany followed the band in
droves. At each guard mount, while
in Germany, they would assemble by
the hundred, he said. While at one
place the band played at a hotel, where
Emperor William entertuined ex-Presi?
dent Theodore Roosevelt years ago.
It was announced at regimental head?
quarters to-day that all members of
the regiment must be in camp for taps
on Sunday night. Practically tho entire
regiment will be given leave on Satur?
day. The men will proceed straight to
the starting point of the parade from
the trains that take then*, '"rom camp
Monday morning.
The 165th is proud of ?he heroie
services of its medical detachment. Not,
a single case oc stretcher ?bearers
lowering their wounded under shell
fire, was recorded. The feats of Ser?
geant William Lekker and Private
Adams are part of regimental history.
They climbed over the top in a leaden
rain to bring in wounded doughboys.
?very man of the medical detach?
ment prizes a personal letter of com?
mendation sent to him by Colonel Will?
iam Dor.ovan.

WASHINGTON, April 25. -Advocates
of military aeron?utica as an t mtlal
mean-, <. f national pr?paration, i;, was
t learned to-day, are preparing for : ub
1 mission to tho proper army officers a
plan that they believe will accomplish
these thingHi

that will each year brea'? In thou
: and s of young filers as the older
one? pasa the age limit, und attract
to aviation tons of thousands of me
chanics, many of whom will ulti?
mately become flier?.
The backers of the new idea say that
they have found tho one way in which
the government can gel. anything like
adequate value out of the vast number
of 'planes, engines, balloons and other
. equipment that, was accumulating for
la flying force of 190,000 men. At last
reporta the General Staff had reduced
the air service recommendation from
a peace establishment of 300,000 men
to 13,000, having descended by steps of
50,000 and 25,000.
A force of 15,000 men means about
seven or eight hundred actual fliers
! and would not be sufficient to keep the
; equipment on hand in good condition.
, If the national force is no larger than
1 that there will be no alternative but to
: sell at an enormous sacrifice equipment
I that, ha:? cost hundreds of millions and
practically to scrap a large part of it.
There are enough aviation motors
! and 'plane., on hand now to atfoial
! primary, secondary and advanced
j training to national guardsmen for
j years to come. By diverting surplus
; equipment to the national guard it can
; be used until its value has been
realized, whereas if it is sold it will
; hardly bring in enough to pay the ,
overhead expense of disposing of it
for as yet there is practically no mar?
ket, tor airplanes?and will at the
same time deprive a .new industry of
! its commercial outlets. ,
It is said that nt least thirty state?? .
i will be glad to add air service groups j
? to their national guard establishments. ?
If there were to be only one squadron I
to a state, that would mean thirty ma
chines for training purposes alone, |
which would dispose of a large par; !
of the surplus training 'planes and
: engines that are in good condition,
i taking about 1,000 of the former and
! ",000 of the latter.

DEAR
?SPENT so many happy
days with the workers
in the Wilson & Co.
plant, Chicago, that I find
myself thinking about them
very orten ?even to the:
point of waking up at 3
o'clock in the morning, as I
did just now, and recalled
what a worker said to me,
one day after I had com?
mented on the habit of the
workers in smiling at their
tasks. This is what he
said:
"oh, this is a smile
organization:1
I said to myself, I am
going to get up and go to
my den, where I have writ?
ten most of these letters to
you, and jot down a few
thoughts about this remark
of the smiling workmen,
and these are the things I
iotted down:
If 25,000 workers smile
I only once an hour eight
hours a day, they smile
200,000 smiles in a working
day. If each smile averages
three inches (and r think
this is the average distance
tween the corners of the
mouth when it is engaged in
smiling), they smile 000,000
; inches of smiles in a day, or
''"nearly 10 miles of smiles.
Then, the thought occurred to
j me that you and I ought to feel
?mighty good to know that
Wilson & Co. food products,
which come to our table, arc.
better products because they
are prepared for ua under the
right kind of conditions.
Don't you think, that we ought,
to fed the greatest confidence in
' the food we eat when we thin!:
| pf the fact that it conies to us
; accompanied by the smiles of
| the men and women who pre
\ pared it for us?
' Don't forget that a smile is a
; token of contentment, and confi?
dence, and faith, and integrity?
? four-elements that you and I
welcome in the production of the
I foods we eat.
Now let me tell you why it is
! that everything that is done ky
: the workers in the Wilson & Co.
; organization is prompted by ?;
? desire to put their heart, theii
| soul, and their intelligence inte
their work.
i The best illustration I can give
you is to print here some ex?
cerpts from a recent talk (in
: formal) made by Mr. Wilson tc
the foremen and workers in his
! Chicago plant on April 2d last:

unless each man takes it upon him?
self and makes it his own business
to support the principles upon which
we stand we cannot succeed.
"The future of this Company depends
upon our mutual integrity and our
mutual loyalty. We must watch
everything to see that all we do is
carefully done, and wc must treat
fairly and squarely the people wc
come in contact with in our own
organization, as well as with the
people we come in contact with out?
side of our organization.
"By our own conduct will we be
judged by the people working for us
and by the people outside who buy
our products.
"We must maintain the standard
adopted by this Company, which
places us in a conspicuous position.
I want you all to feel that the Com?
pany is back of you ?nd with you to
the last man. I want you to boost

there be any question about the
quality of the products we are

"I know how much a kind word is
worth. ? remember when I started
to work in the stock yards?I go'
twenty dollars a week at my first
job. It was hard work in those day*
?and a pat on the back and a word
of praise when ? deserved it helped

"Let me conclude by suggesting t ?

I give to you, and all the ott"?e~

ever to happen that an imperfec

organization like ours o? coursi
things will sometimes go wrong, bu
if we all cooperate as we have beei
doing, I feel sure that these li*-tl
slips will be taken care of in th
future."

Doesn't it round like a real man tall*
ing to other real men? Can't you se
why every worker in the Wilson <
Co. organization is led on to do hi
best because he has respect for hi
chief and because he realizes that i
this chief he sees a human being Iik
himself, impelled to do the bi
things, by the same human impulst
that guide all other human beings?
Don't you feel, as I do, that you ca
buy Wilson & Co. products wil
safety? Don't you feel that the si*
gan of the Company, "The Wilsc
Label Protects Your Table," has t
unusual significance? Don't you b
licve that any product coming fro
the Wilson & Co. plant bearing tl
l-?bcl "Certified," br the imprint'
the slogan, or both, is a guarantee
quality?
