WEALTHY YOUTHS GIVE LARGELY, THENJ0IT4 NAVY Chicago Men Spend $100,000 To Equip Air Station, Then Enlist GREAT LAKES, III., Sept. 3. Somo men do their bit by enlisting, others by giving their wealth. Still another class does both. Of the third class are a group of wealthy young men now in training a naval aviators at the Great Lakes Naval Training station. After spending nearly $100,000 of their own money, to equip an air training' station, these men donned the uniforms of Uncle Sam's sea lighters and aro working hard from reveille until taps and "boning" after that hour to make themselves proficient as air fighters. They have enlisted as second class seamen and are turning over their pay, $36 a month, as are also many other officers and men at the station, to the Navy Relief Society. Offered to Equip Place. These men Lient. E. L. Hammond, wealthy Chicago manufacturer, and Ensigns William Blair and A. B. Dewey. Jr., met with Captain William "A. Moffett, and offered to equip an air training station. The offer was accepted and the Great Lakes Aeronautic Society came into existence. Mr. Hammond was made a lieutenant in the naval reserve because of his experience as an aviator and both Mr. Blair and Mr. Dewey were commissioned as ensigns in the reserve. Lieut Hammond, the head of the aviation school, is the holder of pilot's license No, 33 and has made many notable fights. In 1911 he accompanied Captain Baldwin, well known aviator, who is now an instructor at Newport News, around the world, making flights in nearly every country in the world. Ensign Blair was elected president of the corporation, Captain Moffett, vice president, Lieut. Hammond, second vice-president, and Ensign Dewey, secretary and treasurer. Among the Chicago business men back of the corporation are William Wrigley, Jr.. and J. J. Mitchell, president of the Illinois Trust and Savings Company. Enrolled as future aviators, in addition to the commissioned officers, upon, whom devolved the duty of instruction are? William Fuller, Alister McCormlck. Frederick Starr, Robert E. Jennings, Phillip Wrigley, Ellsworth Buck. Harold Wilder, C. D. Ingersoll. William H. Mitchell and John J. Mitchell,

Junior. Captain Moffett also called for volunteers from the enlisted men to enter the school as helpers and so the project was officially launched. Four sea planes were purchased by the Great Lakes Aeronautic Society and courses started in repair and construction of machines, wireless, semaphone, drill, theoretical and actual flights. Eventually it is hoped to extend the scope of the school to include map drawing, photography, fire control, and other subjects required for naval and army aviators. Two more seaplanes have since been added to the school's equipment and scarcely a day passes but that fome of the student aviators fly over the waters of Lake Michigan in the vicinity of the Great Lakes Station.

Why French Move Rapidly

CT TRACKS.

This photograph shows one of the reasons why the French are able to advance with exceptional rapidity over territory evacuated by the Germans after the latter have left it a barren waste. Thousands upon thnusands of sections of railway track upon steel ties are kept behind the lines. As soon aa an advance begins these sections are rushed forward and used either to repair destroyed railway lines or to make new ones, railroads being constructed for miles within a few hours.

Turks Will Remove Veils From Women To Make Sand Bags GENEVA, Switzerland. Sept. 3.

Women's veils and the tapestries of

private homes are to be utilized in the

Holy Land for the manufacture of

sandbags for the Turkish trenches, ac cording to the Constantinople correspondent of the Geneva Tribune. The Turkish authorities in Palestine and Syria have informed the lo

cal officers of Beyruth and other

towns, the correspondent says, that 1,500,000 sandbags are required in the trenches at once for defensive purposes. Inasmuch as sacks and cotton cloths are lacking, "all silks and tapestries." in dwellings are being commandeered, and soldiers in Syria have been told by their superiors they may remove the veils from any women whom they may encounter in the streets.

PRELATE WOULD PRESERVE RHEIMS

PARIS, Sept. 3.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) Suggestions are being publicly advanced as to the destiny of Rheims cathedral. Discussion centers on whether it should be restored as a cathedral, transformed into tome sort of a national memorial dedicated to those who have lost their liveson the war, or left as a monument to Teutonic barbarism. The question cannot be definitely decided perhaps until the German guns have been driven from Fort Brimont and the final condition of the historic fane, after so many months of bombardment, can be ascertained. Meanwhile Cardinal Lucon, Archbishop o Rheims, who has remained beside hi3 beloved cathedral throughout the bombardment, is firmly determ ined that Rheims shall always have its temple. "We shall repair the Cathedral," he has said. "It must be so. We have casts of its statues, and colored

photographs of its glass. Our architect, at risk of his life, is working vnder the damaged arches to save what can be saved. "The day will come, when the doors will again be opened for religious services, for I hold fast to one thing above all, that the cathedral where the first Christian king of France was christened shall remain the first church of France. "I protest with all my energy, and I shall never cease protesting against any project that seeks to make Rheims cathedral into some kind of a museum or necropolis. Those who have such ideas do not consider what Rheims is for the Church, for France, and for the whole world. All such proposals are impossible. "With one suggestion only, that has been made, can I associate myself with all my heart. Let there be, every year, a solemn celebration in the cathedral which has suffered so from German rage, in memory of those whc0have died for the safety of the country and the freedom of the world. The whole Catholic world would join to- found such a perpetual mass, and I hope that God will spare me to celebrate it myself for the first time."

TAKE PROBLEMS TO STATE FAIR

INDIANAPOLIS, , Sept 3. "Bring your bug, worm and plant pest troubles to the Indiana State Fair," is the advice being circulated by Frank N. Wallace, state enttnomlogist. His department of the state government has made elaborate preparations for identifying any port of a bug, or worm, or. telling how to treat any sort of plant pest and disease. The department will have a booth in the south wing of the Horticultural hall. Special attention will be made to grapes and their growth by Mr. Wallace. He has made arrangements to have one of the most successful grape men in the state at the booth, and he will answer all questions. The exhibit which i3 being prepared will 6how grape vines in all conditions, the insects which injure them and the diseases to which they are subject. Practical demonstrations in pruning, caring for, treating diseased vines, killing insects, placing sacks on bunches of grapes, and how to grow and prepare the grape for market will be given daily. Mr. Wallace says that if any person in the state will bring to his department representatives at the fair samples of their plants, shrubs and trees which have been attacked by bugs, worms or disease they have not been able to identify, an effort will be made to tell what to do. If it is a plant disease, a sample of the infected plant should be brought. If it is an insect, a few of the insects should be placed in a box and brought. In addition to the plant and Insect experts Mr. Wallace says he will have expert bee men present to talk to

those Interested in bees.

Eiffel Tower To Get New Coat of Paint

PARIS. Sept 3. The Eiffel Tower is to be repainted. This is a task which will occupy about three months and require more than 40,000 pounds of paint. The outbreak of war in 1914 postponed the work. The structure was last painted in 1907, when a coat of yellow ochre was applied. The Eiffel Tower has had a curious fate. Built as an attraction for a world's fair, nearly thirty years ago, it was condemned as a monstrosity by those who believed themselves inspired by purely artistic feelings. Since the war, it has paid for it3 existence over and over again as a wireless telegraphy station.
