proved conclusively that future wars
will be largely dependent upon efficient
aeroplanes and aviatOrs.
The adoption Of the planes for mill
tary and naval purposes has already
received great impetus in the policy
of the foremost nations.
England and the United States have
been urged recently by leading aero
nautical experts to appropriate mil

war fleets for the air. A bill was sub

aviation corps in the national guard of

$1O.OOOO0O on equipment for military
air operations. The policy behind the
step projected in New York state is
that of having not only that common
wealth, but later the rest. take up the
aero military question. instead Of leav-
ing the matter to the federal govern
ment. 1t is generally admitted that
the individual states could not put the
aviation corps On par with the regu-

that with widespread activity over the
country this end could be gained in
time
Using the lesson of the Balkan war
Alfred W. Lawson of New York has
sounded positive cry of alarm for the
United States with reference to the
country's aeronautical deficiency. Mr.
Lawson wrote an open letter to con
gress. copies of which were sent to
each member of the senate and house
expressing the warning. Mr. Lawson
Is publisher of Aircraft and one of the
foremost authorities On aeronautics in
the country.
He declares that America stands in
danger Of easy invasion by another
country by means of air fleets. He
urges the need of great fleets of planes
to meet this danger.
The United States stands thirteenth
among the nations of the earth in the
advance Of aerial military strength

and Spain stand ahead of this country
as regards expenditures on aerial equip

Mr.. Stone testified that Mr.. Hamlin's

tee, at the popular notion in respect
to matters of this sort, and, perhaps,
I may in fairness say that both as TO
he Associated Press and as to all
press associations and as to news
papers, I am frequently impressed that
injustice is done by the refusal to meet
the wishes of applicants for publicity.
Whenever a man comes into a
newspaper office or into an Associated
Press office and asks for publication
CT anything, he is met with a degree
of suspicion. They all think he sAs

poor show Of securing justice. We
have a rule in our service that has
been in existence for many years, that
no publicity agent can give us any

that the publicity agents cannot fur

Is comes at all within the scope of

Mr.. Stone at the same time wrote to
John P. Gavit, then superintendent Of
the Central Division of the AssOciat-
ed Press at Chicago:
There is to be a meeting of the beet
sugar interests in Chicago on NOVem-
Der Il at which time statement prob
ably will be issued concerning the in
dustry and the reasons given for the
present high prices of sugar. On Oc-
tOber Is we carried from New FORK

subject and I suppose that the one
from Chicago will be in some sense
an answer which 1 think in justice we
ought to carry. I personally did not
know anything about carrying Mr.. Ar
buckles statement, nor was | familiar
with the contest between the beet in
terests and the can sugar interests.
please use your judgment respect
ing the beet sugar statement and ham
die it upon its news merits"
Mr.. Hamlin'S reply to Mr.. stone
brief letter of October 80 was dated
November 6, 1911. Hamlin wrote he
proposed to submit any statement pre-
pared in Chicago to the Associated
Press officials and expressed the opin-
ion because much Of it was in the
nature of expert evidence" it might
be of a character that would not be
admissible before the HardwiCk com
mittee in Washington.
Copies of all the despatches carried
from Chicago by the Associated Press

beet sugar interests were also furnish

a letter from Hamlin thanking him for
the accuracy of the Associated Press
reports.

Mr. Love arrived in Pensacola yes

When seen by a representative of

fore the court with which 1 am not
at this time familiar. but which 1 will
endeavor to be in a position to try
when the next session of the court

character necessarily means that the

himself with just what has to be

is that 1t cannot be done in day
