TAFT AND HARMON

When Governor Judson Harmon of
Ohio entered the Cleveland cabinet as
attorney general in 1895, succeeding
Richard Olney, he Is quoted as having
said:
Il don't know whether Bill Taft is
following me or 1 am following him,
but we seem to be moving along in
the same general direction. I wonder
If he won't follow me into the cabi-

ARMY AEROPLANES
Before the end of the fiscal year the
army will own twenty aeroplanes, dis
tributed among army posts, even in
Guiding the Philippines. General Al
len, chief signal officer, is asking con-
gress for an appropriation to buy as
many more Of the machines during the
next fiscal year, and with that number
at his disposal he believes it will be
possible to demonstrate the utility of
aeroplanes for military purposes.
1t has become evident that there must
be substantial addition to the number
of officers in the signal corps if that
branch Is to be charged with the ham

tons. The machines might be intrust-
ed to civilian experts, but to make
them of value for military purposes
they must be manned by officers train
