plished through letters written by the

WAR DEF PARTM { N 7
WANTS MORE PAY
FOR Av|ATORS
Il Would Offer Greater Induce
ments to Officers to Enter
: This Field of the Military
Service.
Lspeelal Corrcsponaencr 10 Morning sournalI

Washington, July 81 The war de-
partmcnt wants to OFFER grenter IN
ducements To officers to enter the
field of aviation.
Foreign governments have already
realized the necessity of rewnrding Of
ncers who undertake this perlous
duty. Great Britain pays a straight
Increase Of so per cent. with bonuses
dependent upon the number, altitude,
duration and character of flights. In
France the extra pay il arranged
wholly on bonus basis, which IN
some casea amounts to three times
the officers base pay. In Germany
only officers of independent means
have been allowed to enter the avia-
tion squad. These countries have also
made provisions for the families OF
such officers as may meet death IN
the performance of this duty.
Tho risk Of life and limb ~ great,
us in SHOWN by the fact that on"-i'fih
of the oititers assigned To such duty
In the United States haVo hecn killed.
The military aviator Is attempting to
develop nyng as Il science. ana is not
for civilian aviators. 1t is believed.
therefore. that the government should
reward his efforts and not place an Of
flccr in the attitude OF being COM
PEELED to use private sources of IN
came To enable him to carry on this
work.
No officer with higher rank than
that of captain has been detailed for
this service. The pending measure,
which has been reported iavorahlN
from the house committee on military
affairs. increases the pay or captain
SO per cent while on avhtion duty.
Another reason why this Increase
should he made Is the fact that insur
ance companies refuse tu insure Of
iicers engaged in this duty ana cancel
the policies of those already insured
who volunteer for work IN the ield
of aviation.

levc II VIII be practically impossible
for the army engineers to keep their
promise To open the big ditch to the
ships of the world next year.
According TO Information brought to
the White House today the prospect
of action at this session is growing
DINNER.
Mr.. Stimson was understood to be-
licve there IL little contention over
the proposed administration and oper-
alton of the canal. but the question of
tolls and of railroad owned steam
ships, has stirred up controversy In
both houses and today neither the
president nor his secretary of war
was hopeful of settling 1t.
The Panama bill was put aside

was in conference, but the only way
of comfort that filtered through the
White House was the news that Re
presentative Adamson, Of Georgia.
chairman of the house committee on
interstate commerce. was considering
the introduction Of n joint resolution
providing for the machinery OF adj
ministration and operation Of the ca
aual.
Mr. Adamson was understood to be
ready to bring in such a resolution
whenever II became apparent there
il no chance for n compromise.
President Taft was much concerned
today over the prospect Of delay In
the opening Of the canal.
In many speeches he has predicted
that the Atlantic ana the Pacific
would he joined AT Panama in 1919
and at one time the president be-
leved he would he able To steam
through the canal on the old battle
ship oregon when the formal opening
was celebrated. during his present
term in the White House.
When he broke ground AZ San
Francisco last October for the Pa

promised the people of the coast to
have The canal ready next year spoke
of the oregon as the shin that should
first cleave rs waters and made II
clear that he wonld like to be on her
bridge when the trip began.
So far the president has refused
