WESTERN ARENA.

While slight gains have been made
here and there by both the Germans
and the Franco British Belgian forces
on the western line. the week just
closed has been marked particularly
by the intense artillery engagements
which have been fought over practi-
cally the entire front Tens of thou
sands of shells are being expended by
the bellgerents. and it is possible that
the allies have again fallen back upon
the policy of Gen. Joffre, who since the
famous battle of the Marine, which
saved Paris, has claimed that the wait
ing game is the best. He. however,
has insisted that the artillery be kept
constantly active. in order that there
be no respite for the Teutons, and that
they eventually exhaust their own re-
sources.
Neither the expected allied or Ger
manic drives have been attempted in
recent weeks.

VALUE Of AEROPLANES
IN NATIONAL DEFENSE
Henry Woodhouse of Aero Club Pro.
pounds Interrogatories to Rep
resentative Kitchin.

An open letter on the subject of naval
aeroplanes and the general defense
question has been written to Repre-
sentative Kitchin of North Carolina,
majority leader of the next House, by
Henry Woodhouse, a member of the
board of governors of the Aero Club
of America and also a member of the
conference committee on national pre-
paredness. The letter asks Mr.. Kitchin
several pointed questions about his
stand on military and naval matters,
and says the proposed administration
program of national defense will cost
each American only about what is now
paid out for "cat meat, just to keep
your house free from mice
Extract From the Letter.
In part, the letter follows:
If the United States Navy, which has
less than twenty aeroplanes in COM
mission and ordered and only small
training dirigible ordered. is consd-
cred by you to be superior to the Ger
man navy. which has over 1000 aero
planes and not less than forty huge
Zeppelins, what is the answer?
IF the submarine is the most danger
Gus enemy or the dreaQnduRht ana
commerce. and the aeroplane is the
most effective enemy of the subma-
rne, does it not follow that without
aeroplanes our dreadnaughts. which
cost hundreds of millions of dollars,
and our commerce. which is the very
blood of our economic whole, are crimi-
nally unprotected?
IF an up-to- date aeroplane costing,
at most. $4,000 can, by going at a
speed three times greater than the
speed of a cruiser, displace three cruis-
in coast patrol and submarine
hunting, doing with $4,000 and two
men what is now done with $4,000, 900
and one thousand men, is there excuse
for not having such aeroplanes?
IF one aeroplane costing but $4,000
can save an s1S,000,000 battleship from
destruction by a $500 torpedo, what
the answer?
IF the United States Navy, which
was first to adopt aeroplanes for naval
service, now, after four years, has less
than twenty aeroplanes and only one
small dirigible available and ordered,
only one aviation station. and one ship
assigned to aeronautical service but
unequipped: and if the naval program
recently published proposes to add only
seventy-s.ve aeroplanes next year, when
the need is for seven hundred and fifty,

Greece not only has yielded, but

ed. save one-that she align her great
military forces with the allies on the
bloody Balkan battlefields- But in
yielding, King Constantine has not re-

in relation to the present great cam
paisn now waging in Serbia is but in
a small measure written. The shoals
through which the Hellenese ruler and
his cabinet must yet guide the ship of
state abound with treacherous waters,
and doubts are expressed that the Gre

Greece's FeTil
Lies in Agreement

Greece, there always is the constant
danger that German and Bulgarian
forces viii follow them and Grecian
sol! made to run red with the blood of
bellieerents. This action would mani
testify be in violation of the countrys
neutrality. In her effort to preserve
her status, Greece would be forced to
throw the weight of her military
strength into the war on one side or
the entire Grecian army to expel both
allied and Gerfaanic armies, and the
keenest minds in London and Germany
believe that al such a juncture Greece
would enter the war That the Ger
mans and Bulgarians will have no hes
itancy in crossing the Grecian frontier
IN pursuit of the enemy is indicated by
diplomatic warnings tnat this will be
the course in case Greece refuses to
disarm the allied troops seeking refuge
on her territory.
Greece's decision to meet the de-
inands Of the allied nations came only
after weeks of deIiberation and upon
ircrea sed representations from the en-
tentc powers. London and Paris are
claiming il diplomatic victory, but
the most careful analysts are disin-
clined TO give all credit TO the world
OF diplomacy or to the persuasive
powers OF Lord Kitchener, British war
minister. or Denys Cochin, member of
the French cabinet, who early in the
week held extended conferences with
King Constantine. Other issues are
involved which possibly weighed so
heavily that King Constantine was
forced to announce his course.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-11-28

But whatever may be Greece's future
course. it is admitted that any way she
turns there are ominous shadows which
must be dissipated if Hellenese intes-
rity is preserved.
Now that the entente powers have at
least received definite assurances that

that Rumania permit 100000 Russian

Rumania once gives her consent to the
violation of her territory. this great
