SCHOOL FOR DIPLOMATS

BY KNOX.

At last. Uncle Sam is to do awsv

no longer in good form and fashionable.
Time was when American diplomacy
was showered with contemptuous rel
erence, because Il was alleged to be Of
the shirt sleeves order Not much is
heard of this in these later years for
the reason that American diplomats
nave taken a measure of pride in so
many cases in the doing of things by
the diplomacy of direction rather than
indirection, and have been successful
In thei- methods.
However, there are plenty OF things
for any man who would be a diplomat
to learn. For this reason Secretary
Knox will establish a school of diplo-
macy. The plan which will be followed
will he in line with what has already
been attempted with success IN the con-

APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED
FOR AERONAUTIC WORK.

How long will Congress continue its
niggardly policy toward the Signal
Corps and retard the development of
the latest method of attack and recon
hotter in warfare?
1t was difficult to understand the
action of the House at the last session
in striking out of the army appropris
ton bill the clause which would en-
able the War Department to keep pace
with such nations as France, Germany,
and England in aerial navigation. A
summary of the arguments made
against the appropriation at that time
showed that the chief opponents of
the appropriation held the view that it
would be useless for the United States
to spend large sums of money for ex-
perimental purposes for the reason that
foreign nations were doing all the ex-
perimenting necessary and that we
could follow in their wake. This in
the face of the wonderful flights made
by Orville Wright at Fort Myer who
was then, as he is now, the peer of any
inventor in the world
If the legislators who oppose aero
plane development continue to hold
their strength the United States will
be dependent upon foreign nations to
show us the possibilities of a flying
machine in warfare, just as the OPP
ponents of a larger navy compelled US
to follow In the footsteps of England
in the construction of Dreadnoughts.
The War Department has been ham
pered in its Signal Corps work, but it is
now preparing to demonstrate to Con-
gress that the development of flying
machines in this country should not be
dependent upon the progress made
abroad that, in fact the United States
should take the lead.
Major Squier has been instructed to
prepare plans showing the manner in
which the coasts of the country should
be guarded by feet of war balloons
and these plans will be presented to
Congress
The flying machine inventors of the
United States have not received or
have they asked for governmental sup
port, such as is given by the German
government. As in the case of the
Wright brothers the production of
American genius is at the disposal of
the country and Congress cannot con
sistently continue its refusal of an ap-
preparation which will make it possible
for the officers of the army and navy
to familiarize themselves with this new
ship of war. Progress cannot be held
up for long even by Congress.

ALL HAIL ANDERSON OF ST.
LOUIS.

There will be many people to rise
up and call City Attorney Anderson OF
St. Louis blessed and wise as soon az
the proper amount of publicity has
been given TO the fact that he has
framed curfew law for the apartment
house piano, phonograph, violin, and
vocalist. In brief, this proposed law
provides that, after 10 o'clock at night,
the piano, the singer, and the musician
must be quiet.
Mr.. Andersons plea for the new cur
few is strengthened by the fact that
such laws are now in effect In London
Berlin, and Paris. 1t becomes all the
more impressive as a satisfactory meas
ure of relief from the embryo Chopins
and PATHS who, while lifting Their
souls on the wings of song at midnight
break the slumber of those who seek
rest in order TO perform properly the
labors of the coming day.
The city attorneys plan opens up a
field of sweet and comforting medita.
ton. The prospect of city which at
10 o'clock sharp, cuts off the ragtime
the phonograph, and the tinpan piano
affords pleasant thought. Happy citi.
zens, those who know that, when they
go TO bed at 10 o'clock, no ghost OF
song. no awful likeness of music will
possess the surrounding country and
murder sleepi
It is, perhaps, only human nature
that the owner of piano, a phono-
graph, ca voice" has no considera-
ton for the ears of others. Apartment
houses are full of musical instruments
which, late at night, often become in.
struments of torture. The walls are
not sound-proof. The carrying power
of high note is tremendous when
hurled upon the quiet evening air by q
phonograph or vocalist"
These things have been true all ouI
lives. And now Mr.. Anderson looms
above the horizon, a life-saver, IN in
spired thinker, a benefactor of his fell
lows! We wish him luck in his work
