HUNDRED NEW MEN
AND AS MANY AEROS
DESIRED BY ALLEN
Head of Signal Corps Re-
turns to Washington
x From New York.

Brig. Gen. James Allen. chief Off.
Ger of the Signal Corps, War Depart.
iment, returned to the city today from
New York, where he spent several
days. While in New York, General
Allen was quoted as saying that he
believed in the next great war i'm
portant battles would be fought in
the air. He also was quoted as say
ing that he hoped to have at least
1000 aeroplanes. both land and wa
ter fiiers. within the next three years
The aeroplane has been used sue
cessfully by the Italians in the war
with Turkey, and now the Turks are
using machines against the Italians.
"A number Of biplanes have been ship
ped to China, and are being used by
the revolutionists In their fight to
establish republic. All of the mod !
ern nations that maintain aerial
fleets are watching these accomplish
ments with keen interest, and it is
the belief Of aeronautical experts
that II two Of the larger nations
should come to war the aero
plane would play q most important
part in all the big battles, either on
land or sea.
II Is figured out by aeronautical
students the money expended for two
ibattleships would be enough to buy
about 1000 aeroplanes of the latest
type and equip them with bomb drop
ping deyices and other destructive
implements Of war. .a-
It Is said that 1000 aeroplanes, fly
ing 5000 feet high. dropping power
full bombs. could wipe out the great
est squadron of battleships of the
modern times.
Congress at the last regular session
appropriated $126.000 for the aviation
school Of the army but all Of this
money has not been spent because
OF the inability of the War Depart
ment to detail as many officers to
the service as General Allen needs.
so plans to buy a large number OF
machines and thus build up a power
ful aerial fleet fell through.
This year Congress has been asked
Tor the same appropriation. Four
new men have been detailed to the
army aviation school, but this addi-
era1 Allen would like to have a hun
dred new men just at the present
and at least 100 more aeroplanes.
More interest has been shown in
Congress this year than ever before
IN aviation, and 1t is probable that
before the session is over some Inn
portant bills relating to aviators and
their work will be passed.

LISTERS THREATENED REVOLT.

Though Ulster mas been threatening for many
months to fight rather than submit to be governed
by an Irish parliament and though such staid pub
lication as the Spectator has warned England for
more than year that the home-rue bill would cause
rebellion in that part of Ireland few persons at least
few in this country believed that when the actual
test came Ulster would make good its bluff. But if
recent preparations do not revolt they are very
misleading
Ulster says that she has as much right to refuse
- be governed from Dublin as Ireland has to refuse
to be governed from London; that she will not con-
ssnt to the imposition of taxes by Irish parliament
The government says that Ulster must obey the
INV Of the land take the consequences listers
reply is the signing of covenant by thousands of
Ulsterites not to obey the law London cable says
that it is reported that hundreds of officers of the
British army prepared to throw in their lot with
Ulster. The people of Belfast are rapidly armng
themselves. Passion is at white heat and though it
seems incorfceivable that Ulster will undertake to
defy the national government, that is exactly what
she says she will do and what great many opponents
Of home rule in England are urging her to do.

NOT PROF. WILSON'S PARTY.

1t is Of significance that Candidate Wilson was
the one who left Syracuse, and the Tammany men,
whom he feigned to loathe politically, remained in
possession Of the field.
That was the logical conclusion Of the snam battle
between Wilson and the bosses. 1t is not Wilson's
party; it is the bosses party. Wilson is running by
their sufferance. If he doesn't like the men who
the party he should get out Of it, and join the
Progressive Party, which is AGAINST ALL BOSSES
and crooked politics.
So long he is contented to stay within the DEM
ocratc party as it is now controlled he should not
be ashamed to associate with its proprietors 1t isn't
hardly the square and manly thing to accept shelter
and aid from your landlord and then 60 about the

LODGE DEFINES THE REAL ISSUE.

Senator Lodge, opening the Republican campaign
in Ohio, devoted himself to attacking Roosevelt, not
Wilson. The longtime and intimate friendship be-
tween Lodge and Roosevelt gives this fact additional
significance. Lodge has been the beneficiary of that
friendship. Presumably, he would not have turned
against Roosevelt with much bitterness as he has
displayed had he not been convinced that the real
business of this campaign was to defeat Roosevelt
For practical purposes, there is no campaign
going op this year save that between the Progressive
party and the Democratic. Mr.. Lodge assas Roose-
welt and tine Progressives; Governor Wilson does the
same. The Republicans paying no special atten-
ton to the Democrats, and the Democrats give no
heed to the Republicans. They have, in effect
Joined forces in a common assault on Roosevelt and
the new party. ..
Why they have done this, is not hard to under
stand. The Republicans nave no chance whatever to
win and they know it. Their game is to beat Roose.
welt if possible to beat him because his victory would
end for all time the possibility of the old Republican
bosses getting back into power.
1t is the Republican hope that if Roosevelt can be
defeated the contest Of the next few years will be
between the Republicans and the Democrats; between
one group of bosses and another Therefore first OF
all it is necessary to defeat Roosevelt Elected
Roosevelt would his Office and prestige to execute
his pledges of destroying bosses and boss-shp; and
when these gone, both the old parties are ruined
Therefore Senator Lodge pleads for the defeat
of Roosevelt at all hazards. Therefore the Repub
can machines in many States are trying to deliver
their strength to Wilson. Therefore Toryism of the
Aldrich- Cannon school is displaying preference fol
Wilson.
Wilson is the one man who has possible chance
to defeat Roosevelt; therefore Torysm is deserving
Taft and trying desperately to consolidate its forces
behind Wilson.
