ing that broke under the first stress.
In fact, it has been made as an Off
cial recommendation, time and again,
by one of the leading naval aviators
that no more machines be purchased
from certain prominent manufac-
turer until he took steps to remedy
the almost criminal carelessness with
which his machines were constructed.
1t would be well for you, in your
zeal for the private manufacturer and
for the profits of private enterprise,
to have regard for the men who must
hazard their lives in these machines
and, therefore, may well have a voice
in designing and constructing them.
It would be well for you before i'm
pugning the motives of conscientious
and capable senator, to inquire
whether his efforts are not at least
as periodically inspired as yours and
whether his services to the cause of
naval aviation, in endeavoring to Sc
cure thorough experiment and care
full construction by those whose knowl-
edge has been gained by practical
flying experience, are not greater
than you render by your intemper-
ate attack.
Very truly yours,
C. E. DOBSON,
President, Pensacola Chamber of
Commerce.

Berlin, Nov. / 14.-The Overseas
News Agency has announced that
reports from Athens say the Bulgar-
ian and Turkish ministers have en-
tered protest, couched in friendly
terms, against the presence of Anglo
French troops in Greek Macedonia,
and Greek Premier Skouloudis has re-
piled that Greece would do what was
possible to clarity the situation.
The agency also announced that
other dispatches said Skouloudis told
the Bulgarian minister that Greece is

We print herewith letter from
the president of the Pensacola Cham
Der Of Commerce Directing to our
editorial of October 4th-one of half
dozen editorials printed in Aerial Age
in the past eight months pointing out
the inadvisability Of manufacturing
of aeroplanes by the government.
Part of the letter dwells on points
which had been fully covered in edi-
torials last March, April and May,
and for that reason were not again
brought out in the editorial October
4th. Another part of the letter shows
an amazing obsession-which, If en-
tertained by officials of the navy at
Washington, is positively a national
danger.
The navy needs at least five hum
dred aeroplanes. We would be UNI
prepared if we had fifty; we have
had an average of less than five in
commission at Pensacola since the
school was opened, and the machines
ordered do not number one dozen.
Supposing that with the machines
available, those ordered, and the
ghosts of machines that are in dis
repair the navy department can claim
to have twenty aeroplanes at the end
of this year, and supposing further
that by including Lieutenants Tow
ers (who is in London), Herbster
(who is in Berlin), and Smith (who
is in Paris,) and the officers who are
filling positions in various shops and
departments at Pensacola and the
students who have not yet completed
their course of training, supposing
that by counting all the naval men
who have taken up aviation in the
past or are under instruction, the
navy department can show a list of
twenty-five men-can the navy de-
partment properly tell the country
that it. is planning to employ this
meager personnel and the very small
appropriation suggested for next year
lin attempting to manufacture aero
planes instead Of investing all its re-
sources in training and equipping
more men?
So long as the aeronautical appro-
priation is less than $5,000,0O0 year
and the navy has less than one hun
dred trained aviators and less than
four aviation stations in the United
States and at least one station at the
Panama canal, the Philippines and
Hawaii, the navy needs all the money
appropriated and all the trained mer
available to turn out and equip fly.

construction the ideas of men who
got them from the use of naval guns

1t is not, the intention of the navy

majority of it saeroplanes, at Pensa-

expert at an inshore factory, but
those that experience with the sea
winds and waves have taught.
The needs of the naval aviator, in
a machine for carrying him above the
water, are different from those of a
flower over the land. He wants more
horsepower with less weight, for his
machine is heavier; he wants capacity
for sustained fight; he wants pom
toon arrangement which will allow
him to alight on or arise from the
surface of the water; he wants gen.
eral structure that will best suit stor-
ing aboard and launching from a
naval vessel. Will he get from the
private manufacturer the study, in
vestigation, and patient experiment
necessary to meet these needs? Past
history does not indicate it. Why
then, should not the government ex-
pertinent for itself and construct for
itself; not entirely, but as leader
a pace-maker, for private manufac-
turers?

private manufacturers need such

Pensacola, Fla, Oct. 4, 1915.
To the Editor Aerial Age.
Your issue of September 18th,
which came to my notice only re-
Gently, contains an editorial headed
"Blunder or Pork Barrel" inspired
by clipping from the Jacksonville
Times-Union, which states that the
government is to do aeroplane manu-
featuring at the United States naval
aviation base at Pensacola. You vio-
lently attack this policy. The tone of
your editorial may be shown by quot
ing your statement that "the efforts
of the politicians who want to get
the one million dollars which the
navy has offered for aeronautics, are
about to prevail" and "True, the time
for the presidential election is draw
ing near, and Senator Nathan p
Bryan believes he can produce votes
Your article is on parity with q
great many others which have beer
written recently in regard to various
naval matters, which do not present
clearly all the facts, but offer one
sided and evidently prejudiced state
ment.
You say that "the meager resources
available are to be squandered in an
experiment which failed in England
and France" and that 'There is
not even the most distant posi-.
bility that our distracted naval exec
utives could succeed where the
thoughtful British and French naval
authorities failed" The experiments
of the Royal Aircraft Factory in Eng.
land have produced aero-dynamit
data which has served as a guide fol
the greater part of Europe. As 9
result of the experiments there, the
English army and navy aviation ex'
perts know more about aeronautics
than any private manufacturer in the
United States, and have instructed
recently, some of the biggest manu-
facturers here how to build thei1
craft so that they will stand, to some
degree, the strain of war. Recently
the naval aeronautic station at Pen
sacola had to furnish to one of thu
private manufacturers detail draw

developing we can only-and with
considerable stretching of ones mag
ination-see twenty aeroplanes and
as many aviators in the navy at the
end of this year is the strongest evil
dence that the department is not in
position to undertake manufactur-
ing of aeroplanes, whether under the
guise of experimentation or other
wise.
The statement that the navy had
Ito furnish to one of the private man

him how to build a certain type of

ufacturing conditions in the United
States. Sixteen aeroplanes are being
shipped from this country each day
to European countries, to be used in
actual warfare. The fact that the
orders have been repeated and in
Creased repeatedly is evidence that
full satisfaction has been given.
Comparing the United States ord
nance with aeronautics is not quite
possible-not with Secretary Daniels
proposal to ask for only $4,000, 000
for naval aeronautics for next year.
If the navy department only wants
to experiment then, it should use the
extensive experimental facilities
which it has at Washington. This
has already been mentioned editorial
ly in Aerial Age.
The last paragraphs make us sick
at heart. 1t is the composition of q

does not know of the past and does
not appreciate the assistance rendered

REPUBLICANS WILL SELECT CITY FOR
 CONVENTION TODAY
St. Louis and Chicago Are Leaders-Date for Big Gathering Is Not
 Agreed Upon

Washington, December 1S.-Prelimi- nary skirmishes before the republican national committee decides tomorrow the time and place for the 1916 re- publican national convention to nomi- nate the party's candidate for Pres ident were held here today On the
 surface the only contest of impor-
 tance was that of the cities seeking
 the convention.
 After @ day spent in strenuous ef-
 fort on the part of the cities contest
 ing for the convention St. Louis and
 Chicago were looked up tonight as the
 two most prominent in the race.
 Friends of San Francisco and Phil
 adelphia apparently were ready to sup
 port the Missouri city in case of dead.
 lock, and some of the members of the
 committee who talked for Chicago yes
 terday were inclined to be less opti-
 mistio tonight.
 Many political leaders seemed to
 lean toward the suggestion that the
 convention be held before that of the
 democratic party in St. Louis on June 14, but there had been no canvass of
 members. Opinion was divided. Some
 argued that it would be folly to name
 a. ticket and frame platform the first
 week of June and thus give the party
 in power opportunity to turn their own convention into an opposition
 rally Others thought there was dis tinct advantage in firing the first gun. The claims of the contesting cities will be presented when the committee meets tomorrow. Politicians were in clined to believe tonight that the meet ing would not last more than a few hours and that the committee would adjourn tomorrow night with it's work completed.
 Two of the important meetings to- day were those of the committees on call and apportionment The commit tee on apportionment decided it would abide by the action of the national committee two years ago in reducing the number of southern delegates to the convention. This decision was reached with the approval of two mem- bers of the national committee from southern states. This was said tonight by committee officials to mean that the convention will have 9S5 members instead of 107S as in 1912. New York is the only northern state to lose dele gates.
 The committee on call also will abide by the laws of the several states, includ- ing those which select delegates by pri- maries, but it reserves the right, where the law disfranchises the republican party, to leave the final decision as to the seat ing of delegates with the national com mittee
 About 500 of the delegates to the con- vention will be chosen at primaries and the other 3S5 at state conventions. On the eve of the meeting of the com
 mittee the League of Republican State clubs and the National Republican league held a banquet tonight, with Senators Weeks and sherman, John Hays Ham, ] mond and Henry D. Estabrook as the principal speakers.

Charles Fairchilds & Co.'S Letter

New York. December 13.Z(Special) ] Politics was the early unsettling feature today. America note to Austria bore evidence of finality and was fraught with possibilities of such grave portent that local cotton bulls unloaded. March opened of F points, and on the call declined from 12.2Sc to 12.07c, May opened down 32 points and eased 10 more before the call finished. July opened down full 42 points. These slumps caught stop loss orders in tremendous volume and the market for a while had demoralzed appearance. However, after some mod : crate sized swings up and down prices began to improve under trade buying and closed at about the top. The political situation will bear close watching, but barring complications with Austria and it's allies, which we think improbable, we believe prices likely to improve. Spots south are firmly held and this position if maintained. will encourage bull opera tors in futures later on. Sentiment, how ever, momentarily. is undeniably bearish Oil rallied slightly from early low figures We still believe in higher prices and fa'Jor purchases on all moderate de- cl mes.

arrived from the factory and was being used for the first time for demonstra- tion purposes.
 The attorney general further held that licenses could not be transferred Un- der his interpretation of the law, license might be used by dealer on one demon stration trip, but would be good for no other purposes if the car were sold on that day. The license then would be use less, because it could not be transferred to another car kept by the dealer in stock. If the dealer had a hundred cars, and wished to operate every one of them one day he would be required to secure a license for each car. Should he sell his cars, his tags would be useless for further purposes.
 Governor Henderson gave the dealers a close hearing, and assured them that he would do what he could to adjust the matter. Thomas w Sims, chairman of the state board of equalization, was pres ent at the conference. and it is likely that the governor and Mr. Sims will take some steps looking to an agreement between the state and automobile dealers
