The negotiations seemed about completed a week ago but drews apparently does not consider seriously, as he is going right ahead resumed training after a rest of two months, prospects seem bright. ‘Williams is a tough fighter when in conceding the weight.

FLYING CORPS “EYES OF FRENCH ARMY” (Continued from Page 1.) signs one of his aviators to investi- gate. He goes out, makes an obser- vation and another picture. Other aviators check on him. Next day and then at regular intervals, other pictures are made. They are - en- larged and compared. The little line that started apparently nowhere has grown in length. It has turned in the direction of other white lines, which the officers know are French trenches. - The general in command makes his plans accordingly. He has exact information now and can order an attack, knowing what to expect. Aided by the photographs, a corps of draughtsmen are kept busy at va- rious corps and army headquarters making ground plans showing every trench built or inder construction by the enemy, as well as their own. These plans are drawn- to exact scale and are kept strictly up to date by the hard-working plodding aviators. Map Making Methods. Of course, the aviators do other things, like dropping bombs on am- munition depots or convoys, or army headquarters and occasionally they engage in a duel among the clouds,; but it does mot require -a_military expert,to fealize how much more im- portant his prosaic . picture-taking and map-making work. really. is. The :pictures many times give in- formation which the enemy is doing' his best to keep secret.

Other photographs of the same|=—= villages are made, in reality almost moving pictures with the intervals of hours ‘instead of seconds, and by the snapshots it is learned that troops are either arriving or depart- ing, that many.convoys are arriving there, that reserve troops or the ljke are arriving, that the village is be- coming a troop center, The picture idea had to be adopted because an aeroplane st fly some 2,500 yards in the air tively safe and at th height the. eye cannot take in the details. - An| aviator might fly many times over a Ireflecting lenses. village and not catch the secrets the camera divulges with its microscopic i The memories of some of the gray haired old men and women ‘carried them back to the days when the Ore- gon territory was considered so wild and remote :from Washington, ' the seat of American government, that many statesmen believed that to an- nex it would be to acquire a stagger- ing burden. It was at Champoeg where a small group of settlers gathered: seventy- two yéars ago and with a majority ot | one voted that the Oregon -territory should become a part of the United States, and not of Canada. Up to the time for the last settler of ‘the group to vote, a tie existed, the adherents of the United States and Canada. being equally divided: 'The remaining voter was Xavier Mat- thieu, a Frenchman. ‘There was a breathless suspense as Matthieu stood irresolute detached from the two groups. Then he final- ly--walked across.an open space and took his .place with those who had voted in favor of annexation to the United States. Matthieu died a few months ago, revered by all as the man who saved Oregon to the Union. ’ Mrs. Kidder is now ready to give the ladies of- Bemidji satistactory ser- vice in the new finger sealp treat- ment, facial massaging and shampoo- ing.

Wilson, one of the Nebraska mem- bers of the Red Cross organization, by the committee which raised funds for a Nebraska:building at the Panama- Pacific exposition.
