tic tile pilot acts mainly ot:
must be prepared to at
tack the enemy whenever he may be found, either with
bombs, grenades, darts, or machine gun fire. Thus German
officers in charge of ammunition dumps have every rea
son to fear the approach of a British “low flyer". The feat
of machine gun fire is even greater, and whole German
; regiments have been decimated and demoralized by Bri
ish airplanes.
— German batteries, railroad stations, billets, trainin'1
grounds and aerodromes are frequently attacked in thi
way, and the moral effect is very great. Von Richthofen
1 the famous German airfighter, now dead once described
, how an KngiisU machine one night came down to a height
i of ir.o feet, through a fusillade of gun fire and a blinding
I glare of searchlights, to bomb a German aerodrome wit)
deadly effect. Richthofen considered it “tremendously
plucky that the man didn't swerve but came straight on in
accordance with his plan.”

FISH OFF THE CHINESE COAST. I
LEXER}, Oct., d— A jade seal belonging to a fam
ous gent ral of the Ming dynasty was found recently in th<
belly >f a fish, according to a Chinese daily.

General 'X Chi-kuang, who Horished in the latter part o.
the Ming dynasty and whose deeds in the suppression of
the Japanese pirates who infested the Chinese coast hav

EDOM OF
SILENC
8AX FKANCISCO, Oct., 8— “Tin
women certainly started something
wiu n they inaugurated their campai
gn to innoculatc German propaganda
poison with the serum of silence/'
said Miss Florence King, president ol
the women’s Association of Commer
! co, in a message just received here by
1 tin California branch of the National
j v»ar Garden Commission.
I “Since the convention of the Wo
I men’s Association of Commerce in
1 Cincinnati, “Miss King wrote/' we
j have had hundreds upon hundreds of
inquiries as to the ‘serum of silence’.
This method of fighting German pro
paganda was suggested to us by the
educational section of the National
War Garden Commission.
“The silence campaign is simple.
When you hear knocks against you]
government or exaggerated stories
you may be pretty sure an enemy has
! started them. There is the ‘tongue cut
; out’ story and a score of others all
lies. Turn from the story teller in si
lence. Me will know you mean busi
ness. Get two friends to get two
friends to do the same. Kill German
propaganda by refusing to listen to
it and in that way paralyze the most
powerful arm of the German war ma
j chine and win the war going on on
tin’s side of the ocean.”
