Several hundred pounds of the

perimented with a small quantity
several weeks ago and declared that
it was possible to prepare the meat
in a way that would please the
American palate. . .

Trying for Bond Record
Washington, Oct. 27. Not to be
outdone by other branches of the ser
vice, the United States Marines are
trying hard for the lead in the pur
chase of Liberty bonds. Reports from
the various points where marines are
stationed, show that in some cases en
tire detachments of the marines have
bought bonds. It is expected that fin

of the marines have subscribed to the
new Lsue.
Major General George Barnett,
commandant of the Marine Corps, is
highly pleased with the Liberty bond
reports reaching his headquarters
daily He has written several letters
to the officers at the various posts
commending t'.i splendid spirit and
example the officers and men have
shown."

London, Oct. 27. Major General
David Henderson, who is retiring as
head of the British air Loard to un
dertake an important "special duty,"
in an interview today with The Asso
ciated Press praised the American
airplanes, but warned against the
danger of ovetdoinc standardization
in air craft. He expressed the belief
that the American public shouid be
prepared "for fairly severe" losses in
air training.
"The British flying corps is from 70
to 100 times larger today than at
the start of the war," he said, "and
we hft made this tremendous aug
mentation at the same time that we
have been carrying on a war that in
volved heavy losses and continua re
placements from the very first day."
Casualties Have Increased.
Asked whether it was true that the
British casualties in air train in tr had
increased considerably in recent
months, Sir David said: .
The total number of our trainincr
casualties -increased heavily, but that
was mainly because so many more
men were training. ,Ihe actual per
centage of casualties in training ato
increased slightly owing to the fact
that our training has grown so much
more comprehensive.
Looping Loop Child's Play.
"Looping the loop has come to
be almost a kindergarten exercise in
air training and the man training to
be a fighting pilot must practice the
side-slip, the tail-slide, the nose-dive
and other aeronautics of a most com
plicated character until he is able to
do almost anything with his ma
chine. "Your casualties in the United
States are likely to be heavy because
you have no skilled instructors in
sufficient numbers. Wc sent back to
you a number of good men, especially
some vety valuable, Americans who
had been in the British flying corps,
but it is impossible to spare the large
numbers which are desirable for the
big planes which you have under
way.
Experience Best Teacher. v
"Actual field experience is the
most valuable training for the air
man," Sir David concluded. "No
bravery or native skill can compen
sate for a lack of experience and train
ing in actual war. The best airmen
in the British army, speaking gener
ally, are those who have been at it
the longest For instance, one of our
squadrons contains 18 men who have
downed 200 enemy machines in six
months and won a victory over that
superb German airman, the late Lieu
tenant Vosse. The leaders of that
squadron are men who' have had long
experience at the game. They are
just as daring as anybody, but they
nave learned by that very experience
Kaiser Ready with His Publicity
Money if Our Liberty Loan Fails
(By Associated Press.)
Chicago, Oct 27. John Barrett, director general of the Pan-American
union, said today that German propagandists already have arranged to
spend $1,000,000 for newspaper publicity in the eight neutral countries of
Latin-America on October 3, in event that the Second Liberty loan fails.
Mr. Barrett, who is a former minister to Argentina, said that his in
formation on the subject was positive and should be made known through
out the country to spur every citizen to subscribe fully to the loan.
If the loan fails, he said, the propagandists would use the fact to argue
that the United States is wavering in its support of the war, that Germany
is sure to win and that neutral countries would be wise not to break off
relations with it.
NEBRASKA TO GET
COAL SUPPLY SOON
During Conference of Fifteen
States Representatives, Fuel
Administrator Kennedy Is
Assured of Coal.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, Oct. 27.(Special Tel
egram.) Nebraska is going to get its
normal supply of coal, anthracite, as
well as bituminous, in the judgment
of John L. Kennedy, federal fuel com
missioner for Nebraska, and there will
not be any "ifs or ands about it"
Mr. Kennedy, with some fifteen
state representatives, met Dr. H. A.
Garfield today in the first conference
of his official family and it was pro
ductive of an immense amount of
.;ood, according to the participants.
Puts Up Question.
Mr. Kennedy after the introductory
remarks of Dr. Garfield, baldly asked
the question whether Nebraska wa
going to get its usual supply of fuel
He stated that his state requires an
nually 2,250,000 tons of coal, of all
einAa and thrtt rti srtmK 1 tKaro i
had been received in the state but 26'ton Lee county, la., vice Wintield
ocr cent of the normal. These fitrures Sc " resigned
and hospitals being preferred, for,
if the worst conies to the worst,
schools may be dismissed. It was also
decided at the conference today that
the state fuel commissioners would be
responsible for the personnel of their
committees and in order to make their
work more effective experts from the
federal trade commission would be
sent to assist the fuel administrator
as to whether coal dealers were com
plying with the orders as to prices. Ex
perts will visit the several states and
wherever they , find that orders as to
prices have been willfully violated,
prosecutions will follow under fed
eral procedure.
Members at Luncheon.
The members of the conference
were entertained at luncheon at the
Lafayette hotel by Dr. Garfield, Gov
ernors Hoicomb of Connecticut and
Mccaii ot Massachusetts, being spe
cial guests of the fuel administrator.
Mr. Kennedy stated tonight that it
would be his airr. to see that Ne
braska got its normal supply of coal,
otherwise somebedy would get hurt.

American Surgeons Confer
Degrees of Fellowship
Chicago, Oct 27. Degrees of fel
lowship were conferred tonight on a
class of men distinguished in the pro
fession by the American college of
surgeons. The ceremonial was the
final feature of the week's program
of the eighth annual session or the
clinical congress of surgeons and it
he stated had been compiled from
l,o50 replies of the 1,450 interroga
tories sent out by the State Counsel
of Defense, of which George Coup
land is vice chairman. The inquiry
of Mr. Kennedy started as illuminat
ing a discussion as one could well im
agine. It was the crux of the meeting,
ways and means for supplying corn
munitics with fuel.
To Get Supply.
Mr. Kennedy was assured by Dr.
Garfield that Nebraska would cer
tainly receive its usual supply of coal
and then came the question of trans
portation. A railway expert stated
that while there was considerable con
gestion, the worst situation was found
in the anthracite regions, which was
yielding to pressure. Then Mr. Ken
nedy uncovered a large sized African
by showing haw the Olobe Coal com
pany of Chicago having the contract
to furnish anthracite coal to leading 1
dealers like F, S. Martir, and company

pany o.f Omaha had failed to live up
to its agreement for commission rea
sons. Mr. Kennedy stated that the Oma
ha companies mentioned were 72,000
tons short as compared with other
years. "The assumption being," ac
cording to the Nebraska fuel admin
istrator, "that the Globe company
desired tci be let retain all the job

the Nebraska dealers their share of
the commission. As a result the G'.vbe

to fill contracts."
