Oct. 24, 1917. WAR COST OF KILLING ONE MAN EQUALS COST OF ONE AIR PLANE. .. According to Klegin, it takes $15,000 worth of barrage fire to kill one man; and it costs $17,000 to build a war plane, one of which is equal to almost a regiment on the ground. Each aeroplane can. carry 800 pounds of explosive. "The aeroplane,” he states, “is undoubtedly the most effective war weapon. Remember this when Georges Carpentier comes to town.” The money raised through the exhibition bouts which Georges Carpentier plans to give in the U. S. during 1918 will be handled by a committee which must prove satisfactory to the French govern ment. The funds collected will be spent in America for American made war planes which will be sent to the Allied front as rapidly as they can be turned out. Dds YOU WANT A ROOM FOR YOUR WIFE?

JAMES E. PAYNE. TRENCH AND CAMP ticipated arrival, of seven French of ficers to instruct the men in the mod ern methods of killing the hated Huns and the probable beginning of artil lery and rifle firing has stirred the boys of the 28th division with a zeal of becoming proficient fighters and demons of death. The governor’s visit is scheduled for the last of October or the first of November. A review cf the troops is one of the big events planned for him. Aside from th® unfortunate mishaps in the reorganization the division has gone steadily performing its part in the war department’s training schedule. It is now on its fifth week and has started from the Very foundation. It has gradually assimilated many of the modern methods of warfare and is ac quiring both skill and organization every day. The Twenty-eighth, with the exception of the Rainbow division, which started its schedule much earl ier, is the farthest ahead of any train ing camp in the country. tedd'FToses an eye. It has just become known that Colonel Theodore Rocsevelt, who is finishing a fornight’s training at a rest camp near Stamford, Conn., is minus one eye. Here is his statement: “I don’t think many persons knew this,” he said, “but the fact is I was having a lively bout one day in the White House gymnasium. with husky captain of artillery when he crossed me with a hard right swing and landed on my left eye. The punch broke some of the Jdood ves sels of the eye and I haven’t seen from it since.” JOKE FACTORY theTluffer. Gen. Goethals said in Washington not long ago: “The new German chancellor’s demand for a peace of victory Is bluff, pure bluff. It reminds me of a Panama canal dig ger—only the digger’s bluff was more amusing. “This digger! who called himself the Mississippi Whale, claimed to be the champion long-distance swimmer of the Canal zone. His claim was disputed by the Georgia Submarine, and finally a match was arranged between the two men. “The Submarine turned up at the ap pointed time and place in the usual swimming trunks and goggles, but the Whale turned up with a large oil-stove strapped on his back, while in water proof packets around his neck there were arranged bread and bacon, sugar and coffee, flour, lard and other eatables. “The Mississippi Whale with his equip ment of provision looked in astonishment at the empty-handed Georgia Subma rine. “ ‘Whar’s yo’ vittles?’ he demanded. “ ‘Vittles? What I want vittles so,?” the Submarine stammered. “ ‘Say,’ said the Whale, ‘don’t you ask me fo’ nothin’ on the way ovah. Mah fust stop is San Francisco, an’ mah sec ond stop’s Japan.’ ” —Washington Star. “On the train the other day a private sat with his tunic unbuttoned, for the temperature was high. A sergeant strode up to him and said: “ ‘Button up the tunic! Did you never hear of by-law 217. subsection D? I’m Sergt. Jabez Winterbottom!’ “A gentleman in the seat behind tapped the sergeant sternly on the shoulder. “ ‘How dare you issue orders with a pipe in your mouth?’ he asked. ‘Go home and read paragraph 174, section M, part 9. I am Maj. Eustace Carroll.’ “Here a gentleman with a drooping white mustache interposed from the other side of the aisle: “ ‘lf Major Carroll,’ he said coldly, ‘will consult by-law 31 of section K, he will learn that to reprimand a sergeant in the presence of a private .is an of fense net light to be overlooked.’ ” SOME DEFENSE. A had borrowed a kettle from B and upon returning it was sued by B because it had a large hole which rendered it un serviceable. His defense was this: “In the first place, I never borrowed any kettle from B; secondly, the kettle had a hole in it when I borrowed it; thirdly, the kettle was iri perfect condi tion when I returned it.” no Tapprehension. “So Crimson Gulch has gone for prohi bition.” “That’s what it has,” replied Broncho Bob. "Isn’t it going to drive some of the old topers to desperation?” “Not a chance. • What’s the good of desperation if there ain’t no drink for it to drive you to?” —Exchange. THeTeFFECT. One clubman was telling another of his experience with a book written by still another member. “Do you know,” said the first member, “that I picked up his book last night and that I never budged out of my chair until 4 o’clock this morn in/;!” “Heavens!” exclaimed the second m/ mber. “Was it that interesting?” "No, bi t I didn’t wake until that hour.”—The Lamb.
