AMERICAN "MEN OF AIR" ARE TO
BREAK GERMANY
Swift Wooing Wins Her
GOVERNOR COX
Ohio Chief Speaking at Ft
Harrison Sees Victory for
Allies. 1 ..'
FT. BENJAMIN HARRISON. Ind..
July 12. Belief that "American men of the air" flying in American airplanes will end the war and establish permanent peace, which will be an
ample compensation for all sacrifices, was expressed by Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, In an address this afternoon to Ohio men trying for commissions in the officers reserve camp.
The men were told of the gratitude
and pride felt by the people of their mate for-their offering their services to the country and the civilized world In the Interest of democracy. Will Destroy Power. "From the facts possessed," said Governor Cox, "I form the positive belief that American aviators will break into the skyline of Germany like birds in migration not for the purpose of killing women, and children, nor of wreaking human . slaughter In any form, but the American birdmen will reach Essen and Kiel and destroy not only the navy of Germany but every institution which continues the menace of Prussian imperialism. "We are not fighting the German people, but are seeking to strike down the products of dangerous Prussian leadership. - ' "That the impossibility of Its recurrence will be the only thing which will make the war worth while and that this is ample compensation for any sacrifices which may be made In order to give our children and our children's children a guarantee of peace," was the .statement of the Ohio governor. America's entry into the war, was not .made on the impulse of the moment, according to Governor Cox, who continued: "It is this spirit of an enlightened . internationalism It Is the ?ry of relief rom nations bowed by the burdens of the ages that have stirred the heart of American and sends us forth to help in giving unto others
what has been given unto us. It ian't the impulse of the moment which has carried us into the war." In concluding Governor Cox said: "We hope the fortunes of war will be kind to you and I repeat not only the wish but the conviction that the slaughter of trench warfare is about to end and that peace will come upon this, earth through the men of the air.. It will then be your duty to 'hold the fort' until the product of American genius ; and . Industry - is ready to strike."

Swollen Population of American Cities Due to War Trade
WASHINGTON, July 12 War industries, which have drawn large temporary populations of workers to some sections, were today considered responsible for swollen population estimates accredited to many American cities by the war department in its work of basing apportionments for drafting the new national army. For the purpose or the apportionment only new population figures have been devised for each state, county and .city, based on war registration in these sub-divisions and the allotment will be approximately twothirds of one per cent of the revised population. Delay of many district exemption boards in organizing and assigning serial numbers to the registrants, caused war department officials today to almost abandon hope of making the first drawing this week. Duplicate lists of all registrants and their numbers must be in possession of the department before the drawing is made.

Admiral von Capelle. German Minister of Marine, successor to the infamous von Tirpitz, may be forced to resign as a result of the Cabinet crisis reported from Berlin. The Centrists, or Catholic Party, and the Socialists demand that Chancellor von Beth-mann-Hollweg resign unless he is able to announce the government to be in favor of a peace without annexations or indemnities. Dissatisfaction is felt with von Capelle because the promises to "starve England," made at the beginning of the ruthless submarine campaign, have not been realized.

Only 100 Men Enroll At Cambridge College
CAMBRIDGE. England, July 12. Cambridge is recovering its old prewar activity, but in an entirely different way. Where the streets formerly were filled with devil-may-care students they are now full of khaki clad men, hurrying to and fro on military errands. Sharp words of command at every gateway replace the vague mysterious noises by which the students conveyd information to their friends. While the army, in the early days of the war virtually emptied the university town, It has now, three years after, filled it with men of all ages who are making the colleges their own for some months, studying for the army, working in lecture rooms on military problems while the playing fields are given oyer to their drills. Men students are scarce these days and the final batch of applicants for entrance shows a record of only one hundred as having passed the examinations, virtually all of whom are unfit for military service, against 970 in 1911 and 626 in 1915. Women have had a successful year, scoring 166 passes.
