A Doflcato Matter. "Why wasn't the German crown prince relieved permanently of his command?" "The kaiser .said there were 'dy nastic reasons.'" "What did he mean by that?" "Well, I presume thV situation is something like this: The crown prince made several foolish statements about what he was going to do and it would hurt the prestige of the royal house considerably to acknowledge that he hadn't done them." ? llirmingham A??e Hor?ld. German Looting. Oermnn women not infrequently write to their husbands at the front urging them to try to steal for them what they are unable to buy at home.

ACROSS OCEAN IN AIRPLANE Expert Is of Opinion That Successful Flight Will Bo Mads Before End of Year. 1 Tho most famous Voyage In the his ! tory of the world was innde In 1402. Columbus sailed from Spain, .touched tho Portuguese coast, paused at tho Asores, and then drove across tWuu , charted seas until his Jollyboats nosed the sands of a new world. Another' voyage that will shine In , history beside that o? Columbus will almost surely reverse the route of the great discovered? from the American continent at Newfoundland; soy, to the Azores, tlx ' to Portugal and finally to France. Hut it will be 'made through the skies by airplane. And if there Is anything In prophecy based on science It will be made this year. At least this is the settled opinion of Maj. Gen. William S. Brancker, con troller general of equipment on the British air council. General Brancker I is now In Washington to hef|) co-ordi nate the effort of the aUles In the air. His position as to the flight across the Atlantic is simply this: That It must be done some time In tho present war; that It Is already possible to do ll/,anG that therefore It should be done haw Once the first flight Is an accomplish ed fact he sees steadily growing fleets of huge planes making the trip as a regular part of the independent aerial | offensive. ?
