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.

Rumpler Plans A
Plane Which Will
Fly 170 Passengers
(By The Associated Press)
BERLIN, July 4. — The disaster
of the U. 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.
