THE WAR BABIES MARCH There is tragic irony in the conditions under which the French government has called up its latest class for military training. The boys who have just been conscripted under the system of compulsory military service in France were born during the World War. They are the “war babies and they have been summoned to the colors in a period of such general apprehension that the French have felt it ne cessary to double the term of their training. In exactly one generation, Europe has progressed from a war-to-end-wars to a situation that threatens to produce an even more terri ble conflict, this time a war that may end civilization. The generation that is now trained for war, not only in France but Germany and every other European country with compulsory service, started life under a serious handi cap. The war-time scarcity of food resulted in much mal nutrition among children. Then when the children of 1914 and 1918 were ready to earn their living, they found their opportunities greatly diminished by the economic distress that was a direct consequence of the war. And now they are confronted with the fact the enormous sacrifices of that conflict have not been able to assure peace in Europe for more than a generation. The experience of these war bab ies is a bitter commentary upon the incompetent manage ment of human affairs.—Kansas City Star. THRICE BLESSED Thrice blessed are these colonists who have secured for life companions, true women. Women of the type of Alas ka women, who have and are sharing with their husbands his struggles, enduring with patience and without a murmur the paths of hardships and joys; encouraging him when he is discouraged, uncomplainingly dispensing with many of the comforts of life, ever careful and solicitous for his and her children’s welfare. These are the attributes of the true woman of the North land, a silent, reserved figure, but whose kindly ministra tions and devoted loyalty and self-respect have been largely responsible for whatever success has been attained, in what ever vocation it may be.—The Seward Gateway.

S. Navy’s airship Macon, which has revived speculation here as to the ultimate worth of lighter than air craft, has thrown into sharp relief the plans of a German inventor for a 170-passengers heav ier-than-air flying boat designed to cross the Atlantic from Hamburg to New York in 16 to 18 hours. The designer is Engineer Dr. E Rumpler, builder of the famous I Rumpler-Taube fighting planes of World War fame and of a dozen oth er types of planes. Little Air Resistance The chief advantage claimed for the Rumpler trans-ocean plane is its lack of air resistance. Viewed from the front, it is merely one enormous wing, mounted on two pontoons which taper back to the tail-steer ing fin. Equal load distribution is the sec ond prime feature of the plane. En gines—there are ten, each of 1,000 horsepower—passengers and express are all inside the wing, which is high enough to accomodate a man standing, and which has a spread of 289 feet. The wing is 41 feet from front to rear. Dr. Rumpler says he has achieved decentralization. Instead of a cab in in the middle, with other weights such as motors fuel, pay load, as in the average plane, which puts too much strain on the wings, he has built a wing strong enough to car ry the entire load equally distribut ed. Plane's Interior The interior of the wing looks like a Pullman corridor. It is divid ed from end to end. On the port side are passenger accommodations much like those of a train with port holes facing the direction of flight. Behind are the ten engines, each with its own attendant and operated independently with its own four bladed propeller. The plane would cost $1,000,000. The second and third would cost ap proximately $800,000. Such a plane could reach Honolulu from San Francisco in 12 hours with a useful load of 70 tons and could conceivably push on from there to Manila in 22 hours. It also would be invaluable to British interests as a link with India and the colonies, a fact which recently has attracted a British syndicate to inquire about the patents. Japan Is To Curb Rivers and Floods State Manchuria (By The Associated Press) MUKDEN, Manchuria, July —An ambitious plan, involving the ex penditure of $400,000,000 in Man choukuo currency over a period of 20 years for the prevention of floods and for water conservancy on the largest rivers of Manchuria is at present under consideration by the ((sinking government, according to semi-official dispatches from the capital. During the first ten years the ex penditures are expected to amount to $170,000,000, while the financial outlay for the second period of ten years will be $230,000,000.
