MIGHT HAVE SAVED BIG LINER
Hydro.Aeroplane Flying Ahead Of Lusi-

marine, Say Experts.

Chicago, May 1t.~~A hydro.aeroplane
flying ahead of the Lusitania would
have detected the submarine and pre-
vented the explosion which sank the
ship, say experts.
In order that America may he pre-
pared with plenty of experienced avia-
tors, il this nation Is drawn unwilling
ly into the worldwide conflict, the
Aero club OF Illinois has joined the
movement to raise 100000 with which
to conduct a series of long-distance
flying contests this summer.
Charles s. Dickinson, president of
the club, said:
mo British warship proceeds with
out convoy of hydro-aeroplanes and
no submarine can reach one of the
ships with these watchers above them
in the air. Such a Waterman ahead Of
the Lusitania for the last 80 miles
of its course would have served the
same purpose.
America should have hosts OF cap
able flyers. They would be invaluable
in times Of stress to save human lives.
The government cannot have them
ready in time OF need unless they are
trained in advance. Capable aviators
do not develop over night"

Districts Where War Munitions
Are Made.

London, May 1.-THE House Of
Commons has passed the second read
ing of Chancellor of the Exchequer
Lloyd Georges bill to amend the De-
Tense of the Realm act The bill origi-
nally was designed to place a heavy

the government control of the liquor
in areas where munitions of war are
being made.
Under the bill central committee
will be set up for Scotland and Eng
land. 1t will not act on the recon-
mendations of local committees, COM
mittees of employers and workmen in
the districts affected.
MIR. Lloyd George has promised to
appoint committee to inquire into the
charges of drunkenness among work
men and all parties, including the La
borites. have expressed their satisfac-
ton with the bill.
The government will absolutely con-
troll the sale of liquor in selected dis
tricts, including that dispensed by
clubs and grocery stores.
