■ GERMAN HUMANITY LEAGUE
IS COMPOSED OF SOCIALITS
’ OUTSIDE OF GERMANY
!
Telegraphic news of recent date
said that the German Humanity
League had issued a manifesto
; calling upon the soldiers to leave
i the trenches, and depose the Kaiser
and return to their homes.
The League is composed of Ger
man socialists residing outside of
•.he Empire and is of great influ
ence. The manifesto in parts
says:
“Our homes are being desolated
in a campign waged not in lawful
defenseofGerman territory, but to
satisfy the insatiable savagery and
greed of Prussian conspirators. We
again appeal to every wage earner
rot yet stirred to the heart by
tKese awful holocausts to register
a vow no longer to remain silent
spectators of the stupendous crimes
which have robbed us of our sons
and brothers and left upon the
truthful pages of history an ir.del
b!e stain.
“In the reichstag. men who haa
sworn to defend the rights of the
r-eople have joined hands with our
oonressors. We have examined
•h rough trusted sources the eco
nomic condition of every- state and
province. From all comes the cry.
‘deliver us from this terrible suf
fering!’
“In July, 1014. we were honored
• I respected throughout the world.
'roduy the German name is the
"cor" -f civilization, and the Ger
’"an Fa- a badge of infamy. For
lurerimes wer are lotehed byall
vonest men.
“What are more contemptible

and usage? of honorable warfare

SALONIKI IS CENTER
OF ATTRACTION
AT WHICH NEXT GREAT BAT
TLE IS EXPECTED
Saloniki, which is expected soon :
to be the scene of a big battle be- ,
r.veer. the French and British and i
the Germans, Turks and Bulagriti&s!
is the ancient Thessalonica, to
whose Christian community St. Pad
addressed the two Epistles tc the
Thessalonians.
It is connected by rail with Bel
grade, the capital of Serbia, and has
direct nail communication with
Vienne, which is 820 miles distant.
Saloniki has a population of a
mi Him and a half and is a busy
commercial city, its total martime ‘
trade v ring in the hands of Brit
air ' c-ct British trade with Sal-1
rniki ..cyan after the Greek war of
independence.
BIRDS HOLD AIR RECORDS
Although of recent years avia
tion has made such tremendous
strides, the feats of present day
aviators cannot be compared with ’
those of natures fliers—the birds. |
In speed, endurance, lifting and;
sighting power, birds beat aviators I
j every time.
A common swallow, for instance, j
can travel in the air at the rate of
120 miles an hour.
The vulture when swooping on
its prey through the atmosphere at
nearly 150 miles an hour.
Some time ago a swallow flew
from Antwerp to Copenhagen a
distance of 140 miles, in 68 minutes,
the Flight being timed by observers,
who returned the bird’s average
rate of speed at, 128 miles an hour.
The fastest an aeroplane has ever
traveled is 108 miles an hour, and
this speed was only obtained by
building a little freak machine, ter
ribly dangerous to handle.
Then, again, birds can fly for 24
: hours at a stretch without descend
ing, even in boisterous weather.
After eight or nine hours’ con
tinued fyling an aviator is wearied
both mentally ard bodily, ami if he
rad stron gwiods to fight, he is
citen in a state of collapse.
No filer iijuH carry out long
f'i( ht;. across sea and land like cuc
koos, for in'tai.oe, which, any na
turalist will tell you, often start
from English shores and find theii
way to Afritt.
At a height of 10,000 feet the
earth in detail ismost difficult for
an aviator to see, and it is only
with strong glasses that he can dis
cern even large buildings and rivers.
But, at high altitudes, hawks and
(kites can spy tiny lizards and field
mico on the earth, for their sight
ing powers are 20 times stronger
thanthose of aviators.
