He said he had not committed himself to the details of the administrations proposed army and navy increases because he had not thoroughly considered them, but that he believed the coming congress would work out satisfactory legisla- ton.

RELATIONS BETWEEN
 RUSSIA AND POLAND
Brought Into Field of Debate by a
 Polish Lawyer.

Petrograd, via London. Nov. 19, 4.30 D.. m.-The relations between Russia and Poland, which have been little discussed since the retirement from Warsaw have been brought again into the field of debate by the Polish law yer, Alexander R. Lednitzki, at Mos COW. Several interesting expressions on the subject have been elicited by M. Lednitzki, notably one from the pen of Prince Eugene Troubetskoy, who has just been elected a member of the imperial council.
 Prince Troubetskoy declared that the interests of Russia and Poland are bound together and that a Poland in dependent of Germany, politically free and possibly altogether independent, is essential to the independence of Rus sia. The seizure of Russia, said Prince Troubets~~v, as Germany was covetous of Lithuania, the Baltic provinces and part of the Black Sea coast.
 M. Lednitzkis purpose in initiating the discussion is thought by many to be to prevent construction of opin- ion noted in some quarters that Rus sia has experienced only disillusion- ment in Poland and was not interested in it's future fate.

Wichita Falls, Tex, Nov. 19.-Cir- cling to earth, from a height of 4,00O feet, six army aeroplanes composing the First Aero squad of the United Startes Army, reached here today from For Sill Okla ending the first lap of their journey to Fort Sam Houston at San Antonio. The trip was made without mishap and the distance cov- cred at an average of 90 miles an hour, or 39 minutes for the trip.
 Conditions much as might prevail in wa rtimes were experienced by the av- iators and auto truck trailers alike. The aeroplanes coursed over territory unfamiliar to tfem ad landed safely in a field which none of them had seen before.
 The six auto trucks carrying SUD- plies and accessories, one machine shop truck and six motor cyclists did not fare as wei as the aviators. Deep sand in the Red River bottom and some of tho worst roads in Oklahoma and Texas were traversed by the land auxil:aries. It was nearly eighty miles by road between the two stops The first truck to arrive here made the distance in seven hours, while early tonight some of the motor cyclists were still blowing their way through the sands a few miles outside this city.
