Lansing, Mich, May Limited
States Senator William Alden Smiths
boom for President Of the United
States has been formally launched In
Representative Hall in the State cap
itol by Representative Patrick II. Kel-
ley. who after predicting that the next
President would be a Republican. who
would be elected on the doctrine of
protection. and after reviewing the
career of the Senator, said:
michigan need make no apology
when il presents the name of VIII
liam Alden Smith for President In
the next national convention"
Senator Smith announced his re-
ceptiveness thus:
"If il is wise for Michigan to have
native son on which to unite in the
national convention. and thus assure
the State a voice in the selection of a
Republican standard bearer. If the
party sees in me the man, then | shall
he the last to discourage my people
In their honorable and kindly effort.

high office" he continued. nor am 7
now: but if the 5000, 900 people in
this State voluntarily extend me their
hacking-then by the eternal Gods |
am not going to run away from it,"
Several times Senator Smith skirted
the topic of the administrations cour-
age in Mexico. and at last he let down
the barriers and cut loose.
"In my Judgment" he said. Amer
ica has forfeited the respect of every
country south of us by the pursuit OF
pusillanimous. thoughtless and sell
FISH policy. They all doubt us because
we haven't minded our own business;
have not looked after our own people.

A few days ago there appeared in the
Paris courts a curious criminal with

position. who now. himself cocaine
maniac. makes his living by supply Ing
the drug to his proselytes.
Among those whom he thus supplied
was a soldier. who. under the influence
of cocaine, had deserted. or rather had
forgotten to return TO his regiment The
court did not uphold this second more
serious indiCtmcnt-of having connIVed at
desertion-but sentenced Jarzuel to a
heavy fine and two months imprison-
ment for the sale of poisonous substances

There were curious passages IN the de-

haps in the statement of DIR. Walcott
that the Smithsonian Institution aided
some of the German investigators in
their researches. The results of this
particular line of studies have been
collated and published by the institu-
ton under the title of The Flying
Apparatus of the Blow Fly" 1t should
be borne in mind that the Smithsonian
idea is that the uses of the aeroplane
in peace are far greater than any pos
sible use for them in war time.
England established an advisory
commission. exactly a model on which
the new American commission is built.
early in the history of acronauticS. The
British government placed the manu-
facturc of it's machines. as well as
their operation and experimentation in
the hands of the army and navy. The
commission was given for solution tn"
various fundamental problems that
would arise: and concise statement
of the work Of this body made before
the House Of Commons at one time the
prime minister of England. II is so
near to the idea Of the regents of the
Smithsonian Institution that it may
serve to explain the field of activities
for tn" advisory commission which
President Wilson has appointed:
1T is no part of the general duty of
the advisory committee for aeronautics
either to construct or invent, said the
prime minister. It's function is not to
initiate. but to consider what is initi-
ated elsewhere and is referred TO by
the executive officers of the navy and
army construction departments. The
problems which are likely TO arise in
this way are numerous. and il will he
the work of the committee to advise on
these problems. and to seek their SOlu-
ton by the application of both thco-
retical and experimental methods of
research.
The work desired thus falls into
three sections:
Il. The scientific study of the prob
lem of flight with view to their lrac-
teal solution.

what has just been accomplished. name
ly. the appointment of national al
visory committee which is in reality a
coordination of the various government
departments with their vast resources
and already esta blished organization ana

of the world appropriate their millions
and establish acrcnautic commissions OF
live wire men. until this country was the
only first-class nation of the whole world
without proper facilities and support
from the government to pursue the study
of the problems of aerial science. which
was an undisputed American discovery.
Prof Langley predicted in exact words
that military science would DO changed
by the use of the aeroplanc. The gov
ernmcnt gave him $4,000 to develop
military aerial machine nj the time of
the Spanish American war. but the saso-
line motor was then an uncertain guam
tity. and the experiments had not been
n complete success when Prof. Langley
died.
Meantime the Smithsonian has keep,
the Langley laboratory as a shrine. and
the old Langley machinery and tools
and notes have been preserved with mar
Vicious care. The original Langley ma
chimes themselves have been flown sue
cessfully recently by the aid Of modern
gasoline motors.

GERMANS IN ENGLAND MENACE.

London. May lit has been suggested
that all Germans in England. other than
prisoners of war. men Of military age
and others whom IL might be desirable
to detain as hostages. should be sent
back to the Fatherland. II is not only
that many Of these individuals are active
spies, but they also constitute a grave
peril owing to the insidious influence
which they have been able TO exercise
on public opinion. In addition to play
ing IN the japanese demands upon China

placed at the disposal of the science of
aviation. the unsolved mysteries of the
upper air strata were about to be solved
by the cooperation OF the foremost
scientific men of America. Two or three
meetings were held. men being detailed
to represent the different branches Of the
government when ii was suddenly re-
called that for some unknown reason
Congress had enacted legislation pro-
hibiting public employees from serving on
commissions
1, seemed to be a ridiculous situa ton.
but the Comptroller of the Treasury.
George f. Downey, whose duty il is to
interpret the laws. ruled that the enact
mcnt was binding. and the commission
had 10 he disbandcd.
In those preliminary conferences, for
instance were representatives. OF the
Bureau OF Standards and the Weather
Bureau and the Navy Department. The
bureau Of Standards Is supposedly the
best equipped institution on the face of
the globe for the testing of construction
materials The Weat Their Bureau is the
best equipped institution instant for the
solution of the upper air problems. The
Navy Department owns the biggest and
best wind tunnel and has made some
slight advance in the problems of hydro
aerOplane building. Yet il was impossible
for the President to bring these depart
ments together for the common welfare
of mankind as represented in the science
of aviation because of an almost for
gotten paragraph In an old act Of Con-
gross. And this. In the fact that the
United States government owned only
|twenty-three aeroplanes. of which fifteen
would. not fly while the French army
and navy had LOO. Germany had 1000
Russia 800. and Great Britain 400. Turkey
and Serbia each had more than this
government.
Rivalry in Europe.
of course, the development in Eu-
rope was connected with the feverish
impatience Of one nation to outstrip
the other in military and naval mat
tiers. while in America 1t had but a
county fair aspect. France begun early
to spend huge sums from the public
purse. while individuals contributed
generously. The various departments
of the French government were Dr.
rected to cooperate with their special
facilities of all kinds, just as the de-
partments of this government have a.,
last been directed.
Germany followed. The famous
Kaiser fund.- a poplar subscription
for aerial experiments resulted in the
raising of $4,000 for aeronautic
work. The Germans also brought to-
gether the united force of all their
physicists. mathematicians, and the
army and navy interested officials to
concentrate all their available force,
knowledge, and money in the develop
ment of a machine that would fly as
readily as a motor car will run. Amy
one who could throw any light on
the problems presented was impressed
into service. The result Is shown by
the hourly use of whole fleets of
heavier than air machines in the
present war. The Taube aeroplane. one
of the German models. was worked
out after long and painstaking study
of the flight of insects by a German
scientist. There is . bit Of irony per.
