During the war he went on im- proving this type of heavy aircraft and then a 450 HP and a 600 HP biplane were successfully devoted to actual bombing work on behalf of all Allied Armies on the Italian | and French theatres of war. Caproni aeroplanes' audacious and terrible bombing raids were almost daily qunced in the war bulletin by General Cadorna, General Diaz, General Foch and General Per shing, under whose commands the Laproni bombing squadrons.were doing such good work.

AN OLD SAYING,
Chinese merchants have an old saying which broadly translated means "Poor in the 5th moon, the worst in the sixth but a slight revival in the 7th." This is the seventh moon when trade for the first part of the second half of the year commences. But political and other conditions have prevented the looked-for revival.
