MODERN WAR PREPARATIONS.

MODERN WAR PREPARATIONS.
That congress has at last awakened to
the Importance of aerial navigation as a
part of modern warfare is indicated by
the report that the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Hardwick, OF Georgia, where
by the efficiency Of the aviation service
Of the army viii be increased, is likely to
be passed without opposition.
France, Great Britain, Germany and
Russia are all ahead Of the United States
in the aviation phase OF military preparB-
tions. The foreign nations long ago re-
allied that success or failure OF a great
engagement might depend upon the aerial
equipment of the contendinR armies.
Foreign countries not only work to bring
their aerial fleets up to high point Of
efficiency, but recognize the value OF the
services Of the men engaged in the work
Of perfecting the science for army pur<
poses. This country should not remain
in the rear Of progress any longer It IS
time for the United States 10 enlarge It's
service, and give more adequate compensa-
ton to the men who are risking their lives
for the government I'm these times Of
peace that the country may be safeguard
ed in time of war The Hardwick bill
doubles the pay and allowance assigned
to the dangerous duty OF aviation and
gives the science a definite status for mill

JONES DISCUSSES
 B|G PANAMA DITCH
Biggest Man There Is Dr. Gorgas of Alabama-The
 Work Progressing

Malvin Jones, son of Capt. P. Sid Jones, is spending his vacation in Bir- mingham. He is located in the serv- Colon, Panama.
 Work on the big ditch is progress ing finely" he stated, and water will be turned on toward the latter part of next year or the first of 1914. Forts are being built for the protection of the country against any possible in- vasion of the future and when com pleted 1t will be impossible for any navy to effect an entrance.
 Health conditions are excellent and life or the isthmus Is enjoyable. We very seldom pass a night in any month without the use of blankets. The great majority of people in Panama speak English and SO fast is the country be- ing settled up by worthy immigrants seeking work, that conditions in every sense are as good as elsewhere.
 "Perhaps the biggest man in Panama is pr Gorgas. So thoroughly did he accomplish the task of making sah- itary the isthmus that he has been appealed to for aid by others in South America. Men from his office have gone among the natives of the little countries across the ditch ana nave performed marvels.
 q believe that eventually the united states government will be compelled to clean up all the countries of south America-for magnanimous reasons and also because this course would guarantee continued healthful condl- tions in Panama."
 MT Jones will remain in Birming- ham until September IS.
