UNITED STATES FAR
BEHIND IN AVIATION
france, Germany, Russia; Eng
land, Italy and Japan AL
Lead Uncle Sam.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The United
States, home Of the first heavier than
air flying machine, is far behind other
nations in military aviation. This IL
the assertion Of Captain Washington l.
Chambers. u. s. N, chief OF the navy's
aviation corps, an expert who Is de-
voting his entire time to the sciences
he says: ]
France leads the world in aviation
and all that she does is worth nothing.
A short time ago, in response to an in
quiry by the minister of war over 5000
officers signifed their desire to learn
aerial navigation. Germany leads In
aerostation, but Is making great pro-
gress in aviation also.
France has eight dirigibles, Ger
many 80. The number Of aeroplanes
actually possessed by each is a rapidly.
increasing quantity. but France prob
ably will possess about $50 before the
to have 1000 as soon as the requisite
number Of pilots can be taught to use
them.
1T is significant Of German foresight
that one of the first steps undertaken
when 1t RAJ decided to construct q
large aeroplane fleet was to found an
'aerodynamic laboratory. This Is at
Gottingen, where the best known
course Of instruction in aeronautics is
ably conducted by Professor PrandtI."
France leads with q total appropria-
ton of $500, 900 to date and a pop
ular subscription Of 81, 900, 900. Ger
many is second with a total appropria-
ton of $500, 900 and a popular sub
scription Of $3.50, 600. Next comes Rus
STA, Great Britain, Italy, japan and
then the United States.

the German empire, died suddenly at

for several days, SO much so that ply
sicians who were called. in feared n
fatal termination, as his heart action
was very irregular.
The end came with great sudden
ness at 10 minutes to 5 o'clock this
morning, when the secretary expired
from heart failure when he was prac-
tically alone.
Alfred Won Kiderlen-Waechter was

foreign affairs only since June 2S. 1910,
when he succeeded wilhelm Won
Schoen, who became German ambass-
ador to France. ~
Great Statesman.
The advent of K~iderlen-Waechter
was not greeted with great enthusiasm
In the imperial parliament. He was o
poor orator and his speeches did not
create a good impression. He was
known, however, as one of the shrewd-
est men in German diplomacy and was
regarded as an expert on affairs Of
the neal east, owing to his having
been stationed for a long time in the
Balkans and his disappearance from
the German cabinet at the present time
Is considered to be O. great misfor-
tune. ~" g.... E3#
During his short period Of office as
foreign secretary he was successful in
steering the international politics of
the German empire through q period OF
unusual ENHANCEMENT, more especial
ly in regard to the settlement OF tho
dispute between France and Germany
as to the future Of Morocco. The ne
gotiations were brought to a success
full termination last year, when France
and Germany signed an agreement as
the result of which their relations have
become much more cordial. Liza
