Typical Prussian Ruthless, Arrogant He Will Lie, Steal, Kill and Break His Promises One Hans Adolf von Moltke, German ambassador to Spain, who died recently, has heen calleq "a typical Prussian." That is a hard thing to say ubout anyone, but facts are facts, says The Otftawa Journal. The typical Prussian is a ruth- less, arrogant Individual who holds stoutly to the quaint theory that thé Germans are a "master race". and whose religion is war--so long, that is, as war is not too uncom- fortable for the German people and pays them a nice profit. The typical Prussian has no scruples about theft. about torture and mur- der, when used for the aggran- dizement of Germany and (hus of himself, He will kill tens of thou- sands of Jews or starve a whole population without a twinge of conscience if it seems to his twist- ed mind that there is some advan. tage in it. for Germany, The typical Prussian will lie and steal and slay, break his most sol- emn promises, betray those to whom he has pledged eternal friendship. He is boastful in vie- tory, but he whines when beaten and cries out that the world is © against him and it's all most un- just. He is, in a word, treacher- ous, bloodthirsty, and, as we understand the word, uncivilized. The typical Prussian ig, in fact, the typical Nazi and the typical German. Some day the disillu- gioned.

So the news that there was trouble beyond the Frontier was welcome, According to rumor, the trouble news of which had been brought by a wandering fakir known to certain British officers as Ghulam Hyder--was of the kind that not so long ago could only have heen cured by such drastic measure as the use of a brigade, of all arms. But what formerly necessitated the employment of generals, Bri tish regiments, Sepoy regiments, squadrons of Bengal lancers and British cavalry, bafteries of field guns and. mountain artillery, de- © tachments of sappers and miners, 'the Signal Corps and the Royal Army Service Corps, not to men- tion thousands of camels -and mule carts, and a horde of camp followers, sutlers, svees and ser- vants, could nowadays be dealt with hy a dozen young men and a half dozen airplanes, In a row stood six two-seater fighting scouts, and busy about them worked the armovers, fit- ting detonators to the hombs, of Which each machine carried eight. The armorers having completed their. work, inte the cockpits climbed the young men who nowa- days answered the raiders with raids, the young men who replied coming down from the air, to those who, coming down from the mountains, harried and slew the King's lieges, breaking the Pax Britannica and the brittle peace --of the Border. Having adjusted goggles and harness and settled into their res- pective seats, the pilots taxied the machines into the position for tak- ing off, and at a signal from the leader,- the engines roared, the machines took off, and flying in great. circles gained height suf- ficient for crossing the many miles of lofty mountains which lay between Fort Hunzana and Sufed Kot, the stronghold of the notor- ious Singing Hadji and his ever turbulent and warlike sect.

All was as usual until, a hun- dred miles from home and" at twelve thousand feet, a most un- usual morning clowd bank was en- countered, a fog whité and dense, and of a blanketing thickness worthy of London itself. And looming above if and through the fringe of it were the peaks of the mighty Lushgai chain of moun. tain ranges. As the machine dis- appeared into the fog Vere. Vaughan, already half frozen, cursed, Why had he joined the Air Force? - . What a life! Who'd be an air- man? Thank God Tommy Lucke- was such a great lad at the joy stick! One of the Gest pilots ever. Still, if another machine barged "into him, or a mountain got up and hit him, what good would his skill be? The fog thinned, a break oc- curred, and far below the ground was dimly visible. | They were through the mountain range and flying over a wide tract of level country. And also they were alone. John Vere-Vaughan groaned in spirit, That almost certainly meant that there were five wrecks behind them; that in five steep- sided ravines lay five - tangled masses of fabric and machinery; five tangled masses of flesh and blood and bone. And the best one could hope for them was that death had heen instantaneous. Hullo, Tommy w as diving sharply. Did he know exactly where he was? Or was he going down to pick up a landmark? Pre- sumably he knew this country pretty well, but. . , A quarter of an later, Vere-Vaughan saw fort or fortified village on a pla- teau. Evidently Tommy recog- nized the place. Yes, that was it, or he would not have dropped to a thousand feet and turned. Now for business. . , Four times the across the plateau, on each ocea- 'sion dropping a, couple of bombs. That the eight explosions would cause much loss of life was ex- tremely improbable, as the Pathan long ago have hour or so bomb-proof dugouts which renujr- ed no digging, deep in the <olid rock of the sides of the ravine that flanked the plateau near the village wall. That was all to the good. One did not want women and children to suffer for the deeds of their outlaw-raider husbands, fathers, sons and Lrothers, : But: for the fog there wouul have been forty-eight bombs in- stead of eight, for carrying out the work of destruction and teach. ing the Singing Hadji of Safed Kot that times were changed and methods improved --- from the point of view of his enemies, at any rate. i : The fourth trip and the eighth explosion. . , , And what now? Would Toniny try to fly back through that fog, trusting to his wonderful Juck ang skill once again? Not that skill vias going to be much good once they were into that stifling all. enveloping mist again. Like a blind man trying to run headlong through a trackless forest of trees. They'd certainly share the fate of the other five planes on the return journey. Those five --- add the ten men 'who -- it didn't bear thinking of: : Hullo! What was that? ECC OINTMEN" "Burns Fic Sores, Guis x a big. machine flew - "out to get home? There was a ragged volley pf rifle fire from below, several bul- lets striking the plane. Did the beggars know that the machine only carried eight bombs and had dropped them all? At any rate, they had evidently swarmed out from their caves, dugouts and hiding places under the great boulders, on the ex- plosion of the last hy Good. The lesson could be driven home and the outlaws taught that there was danger to more than their watch towers and walls if they came out into the open, They'd forgotten the machine gun, or perhaps were ignorant of the fact that the strange bird that laid the explosive eggs carried, guch a thing. : As these thoughts flashed through his mind Vere-Vaughan Tose in. his seat, scized the gun ring of his Lewis and glanced at his pilot. E Good God! What was Tommy doing? Tommy was sinking down, as it were, in his cockpit. Tommy was collapsing, sagging, and sway- ing in his seat and harness. And Tommy was bleeding copiously, Tommy had been hit. His head was nodding, Was he' dead? No, For suddenly he had pulled the joy stick back and put the nose of the machine up. But he was badly wounded. Could he last What would be the best thing to do? Had he better climb across and , . .? * * - Suddenly Vere-Vaughan's heart seemed to stand still, his blood to freeze in his veins as he real- ized that the machine was out of control, that for no reason 'it was banking with terrific suddenness and steepness so that the rigging throbbed like: harp strings, vi- brated and strained as if every- JAhing must come adrift. And then it fell, spinning; spinning dizzily, like a whirling dervish, Just as the ground seemed to rush up at Vere-Vaughan to strike with hideous impact, the machine answered stick and helm, and though with a horrible jarring shudder, righted itself, swooped forward and began to climb. Anll as Vere-Vaughan drew a thankful breath of relief and felt as if his heart had resumed its beating, new danger loomed ahead. Tommy w as stecring straight for the fog-blanketed mountains. Again Tommy lurched side- ways, his head falling forward on his chest. But he pulled himself together once more, And about time too, as the machine, swift _ and straight as an arrow, flew to- wards the mist through which now loomed the vast wall of & moun- tainside. 3 For the last time Tommy's brave soul came up from-beneath the swirling waters of Lethe, peered through the swiftly closing mists of death... He raised his head, opened his eyes, grasped the control column and ¢hanged the angle of the plane's direction in time to prevent a head-on crash; changed it so that the angle of the airplane's climb almost coin- cided with that of the mountain- side, so that as he died, the nerve- less eye and hand and foot ceased to function, the crash was more' that of a' terrific landing that sends the machine bounding and bouncing to its final somersault, than that crash which drives it in ° GARDEN NOTES By Gordon L. Smith Big Croppers for Gardens Much will depend upon the lo- cation and size of the vegetable garden as to 'the crops grown in it. If tiny, say less than 50 feet square, then authorities advise concentrating on those vegetables *which give the biggest yield per row, This means small, compact things like carrots, beets, lettuce, beans," spinach, onions, radish, possibly a few staked tomatoes. With the first items, even 12 feet of row, if given a little attention in the way of thinning, cultiva- tion, and perhaps watering and fertilizer, should produce many good meals for the fair-sized fa- mily. And as the rows can be spaced a mere foot apart, a small plot will grow a lot of crop. The staked tomatoes will take up more room. They should be 18 inches apart in the row, but one plant should grow a big basket' of tomatoes, and if all side shoots are nipped off and the plant tied loosely to a'six-foot stake it will . ripen the fruit surprisingly early. It doesn't pay to grow bulky things like potatoes in the tiny vegetable garden, and a winter's supply of carrots, onions, beets, ete, should not be attempted, Corn and peas take up a lot of room but because they are never so tasty as when taken right out of the garden at the back door, sometimes even city gardeners try to squeeze them in. Garden corn should be grown in hills about 15 to 18 inches apart. To supply the small fa- mily at least a dozen hills of corn are necessary, and from 40 to 60 feet of row of peas. ; Transplanting The three most important fac- tors in successful transplanting are moisture, shade and the ex- clusion of air from the roots, Whether the thing to be trans- planted is a tiny, young shoot from the next row or a fifteen foot maple, experts stress the sible, they say, transplanting should be donc on a dull day or evening, Soak with water around the roots and press the soil firm- points mentioned. If at all pos- sible, and especially with big plants,; shrubs and trees, 'egular and héavy watering are altvisable, at least until July, with nursery - stock. 2s, Moving a plant is something like an operation for a human being, and the larger the specimen the more necessary the attention. With "shrubbery 'and trees, often' main roots are cut and the shock is severe, Some pick-up in the way of quickly available commer- cial fertilizer will help. at this time, merely a pinch for small things like tomato plants or asters, and perhaps up to a couple of handfuls for shrubs and trees. one final and tremendous impact to utter splintering smash and complete disintegration and de- struction.
