CHICAGO, July 6. "My strategy depends entirely on my will," declares the "Ace of Aces," Lieut. Fonck, in an Interview with Henri Simoni, published in the June 8 issue of the Plane News, printed by soldiers in France and just received here. "I put my will in operation to maintain tranquility in mind and body," continues Lieut. Fonck, whose intrepid aerial exploits over the German battle lines have thrilled the military world.

"When one fights it is necessary to fight with all one's faculties. I 'will' to use mine, and then I am guided by careful observation and take advantage of favorable circumstances. That is how, in this battle where I brought down six German planes (will you be so good as to say that Second Lieutenant Fontaine and Lieut. Ba.tle followed me into this battle, which was a warm one), I say I simply got in the midst of the enemy planes. You understand my object.

I hampered the maneuvers of each of them, and I watched, and at the first lack of decision on the part of the adversary I took advantage of his mistake and brought him down. I got the two first in 10 seconds and also the two last." "Were you acccompanied in the last exploit. Lieutenant, the day before yesterday?" "Yes, I was in company with Sergt. Brugere and Second Lieutenant Touselier. I always take some young and courageous aviators with me to give them training and put the finishing touches on them.

They conducted themselves marvelously. So it was in this last combat I brought down three planes and the fourth was probably brought down by Sergt. Brugere." "How long did it take you to bring down these three planes?" "One minute." "That is quick." "Yes, for you. but for me it was a little long." "What minute in your career as a military aviator was the most tragic?" "Tragic! No. Say most thrilling It was when I brought down my six engaged in such strong opposition.

HO RESULTS FROM LOAFING, HE SAYS Directors' Meeting Drafts as "Head for Coming Year HlVIan Who Has Led It in Successful Campaign. A meeting- of the directors of the fjssissippl Valley Waterways Association was held in St.

Louis Tuesday, at which the future work of tlje association was fully discussed. Thi8 association was formed a lit-tlit over one year apo, and its first annual convention was held in St. Louis in May last. James TZ. Smith was its president for the first year, it-- being understood when he was efeoted to the office that he would the position only until the association was placed on its feet, and tUit be would then be relieved.

The organization, under Smith's leadership, put In a year of great activity aud accomplished much in advancing the cause of water transportation in Mississippi Valley. Tho first year's work culminated several wjjeks agro when a delegation of representative business men from all prts of the Mississippi Valley went Washington and appeared before Judge Prouty, who had been named r-JJ Director McAdoo to represent him ait the hearing, and urge that the (Government take over the lower Mississippi as a war measure, equip aid operate it, and, as the result of tTjelr efforts, final and favorable decision from McAdoo soon is expected. Srnith declined to accept a re-election At the recent annual convention of-the association, since which tima ltJiaj been without a head. A strong effort was made to find some other fcultable man to take the position ami carry on the important work which had been inaugurated, but he could not be found. At the directors' meeting; Smith was strongly urged again take up the work, and he finally accepted the nomination and was unanimously elected.

River 1'rospccts II right. said that he had hoped to be relieved of the work and responsibility which the position imposid, but-as the association had been for over six weeks without a leader and was- in danger of "going upon th roc.ks," he had consented to again tali up the burden rather than have thwork of the association discontinued and its career destroyed. He stated further that the for the restoration of water transportation upon the Mississippi illver and its navigable tributaries hmfrnever been so bright as now, and ttt a year of great opportunity was tttead of the association. lie referred the fact that a fleet of steel barges and towboats is already elng constructed by the Government for use on the Upper Mississippi and said if the Government vould now ItJaee upon the Lower Mississippi the proposed big fleet of modern steel boats and barges, a demonstration of the possibilities of our great water-highway would soon convince the country that its use was absolutely vital and necessary to the further progress and development of our entire, Western territory, lie also expressed his belief that this demonstration, if made under Government operation and control, will be assured ft ss. and that when river transportation is re-established, it will nejTer again be allowed to be destroyed.

The Mississippi Valley teftrays Association is now thoroughly organized, he pointed out, and he betleves that if it receives the proper support from tho people of the valleys it can be made a tremendously useful and effectivi machine for the upbuilding of the central. Western anj Southern stated. Work for Coining Year, peaking of what is yet to be doae. Smith said: work outlined for the coming year will be the line of co-operation with the Government in lencouraglng the wtff of our valley Waterways by the bntiding of new boats and barges of such idle! equipment as is now available the building of modern municipal terminals at all river pofcts the improvement of the channel where needed, and Inducing the nhtjpers of the valley to make every poible use of water transportation byT.ot shipping a pound of freight byJail that can be move'd by water, towthe end that the congestion now prevailing on our railways may bo to as grsat an extent as possible. There is also important work to be done in securing new legislation that will a proper regulation and equalisation of rates force the making tf Joir.t rates between rail nd wat.tr linos and that will forever prevent the 1 railroads from throttling river transportation and driving It out if business, aa has been done in the past.

"There is r''-'nty of work to be done. What Is needed is a proper spirit of progression and willingness to work and of co-operation among oyr people to accomplish the results we wish to obtain. The people of the Valley must wake up thy have been asleep for more than a half century they are living In the'rtneM region God ever created, bat they are loafing on their job.
