"WASHINGTON. D C.. Sept. 17.—
The government is in receipt of
some startling intelligence in con
nection with German aircraft dt
velopnient which reveals how per
fectly one nation keeps pace w;th
the other in this war in this re
spect.
A gigantic German aeroplane, far
the largest that has yet made its
appearance on ar.v battlefield was
brought down by aviator Maurice [
Mcdiath behind tne German lines. |
The aviator fought a battle fif
teen thousand feet above tho I
ground and the injury inflicted on |
the German titan resulted in ,’ts1
having to glide down to earth with
relatively little damage where it
1 was at once seized.
It is announced that tiie new |
German machine is more powerful
than anything that the allies pos
sess in action and that its motor, a
completely new type will compare
most favorably with the new Liber
ty motor of the American army
which just has passed its final tests.
The motor is a monster for power
but a pigmy tor weight and it is
said to be a revelation in the poss
ibilities that its construetion opens.1
It embodies some of the principles
of the American Liberty motor and
is in no way an inferior machine.
The giant aircraft which it. drove
so well is also the largest of the
kind ever constructed. At least as
far as has been observed in actual
action in the war.

THE TRUTH. j
As far as we know the truth.
If candor and straight-forwardness is going to deprive us
of an individual sale we ntay safely conclude that the sale better
be sacrificed than that the chanter of our store be placed in
jeopardy.
I There is but one basis upon which tlie relations between .?
the merchant and customer may be safely placed and that is j
upon the foundation of confidence.
I I
One lie may not destroy that foundation but it develops a S
fracture that require many more lies to conceal that the struc- !
ture is bound to disintegrate.
We must pay a certain market price for our goods and
• we must sell same at a little more than what we pay for them
to be able to maintain our structure effliciently and to pre
serve same in order to aid in the present and future develop
ment of our community. *
