a striking proof OF this Is found In the expert

"The number OF guns for defence

Sir Percy asked the Treasury solicit

that there had been a steady and rapid
increase in the production Of British
aeroplanes, not particularly for the
defence OF London. but as part Of the
general policy OF the government.
Surgeons in English hospitals who
have attended victims Of Zeppelin
raids give remarkable facts regarding
the work Of bombs launched from air

force, missiles dropped from heigh'

Some OF those killed have met thei

WILSON ON TRAIL
OF HYPHENATES
President Expected to Assail
German.Americans In Speech
Here Tomorrow.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Oct. 26. An attack on
the hyphen In American politics much
more direct and definite than any he
has heretofore made is expected 10 be
the feature OF President Wilson's
speech before the Manhattan Club in
New York next Thursday. Explana-
tion and advocacy OF the national de-
fence programme will also be dealt
with at length. but will be subordi-
mated 10 the Presidents assault on
what he has come to believe one Of the
greatest evils threatening this country.
Administration officials for some
time have been FESTIVE under the con-
slant heckling OF the German-Ameri-
cans, the latest instance OF which came
from the Bay State societies under the
leadership of a Harvard professor.
Some of the Presidents advisers, II Is
understood, have urged that measures
be taken 10 soften this criticism, while
others have wished TO avoid making an
issue. and have told the President that
he was taking grave risks In accepting
the challenge.
The President, however, believes tina
no greater calamity could overtake
American. than q division along no
tional lines, and the formation OF
strong nationalist groups. not only OF
German Americans, but OF Italians
French, Slavs or any others. Such
growths, he believes, would threater
the whole structure Of American instl
tutions and lead TO untold evils. 1t II
against this danger, as well as agains
the German propaganda, which is n,
immediate symptom, that his speech
will be directed.
While this will not be the first at
tack by the President on hyphenism, /
Is understood to be the opening gur
Of campaign which will be far NOR
vigorous and definite than any prev
Gus action Of his. The attempt T.
use America as a catspaw for any Flu
ropean interest will be followed AM
fought, not only when it appears IL
such manifestation as the action o
the German societies, but even insid
Congress.

twenty-two-year-old son Of the English
"Blotting Paper King" Is In America
on unlimited leave.
Thirteen months in active aviation

work. having two observers killed in

intend returning 70 his work with the
Royal Flying Corps Of the British
army until he has seen New York. San
Francisco and Honolulu. "A bit OF
elobe-trott!ng" as he puts It, will
bring me back 20 form"
Lieutenant Ford arrived yesterday
from Liverpool on the steamer Tus-
cania. and was stormed by a young
army of reporters as he was unpacking
his luggage at the Hotel McAlpin. On
the subject 81 the war, he did no.
wish 10 talk, his reticence being &C
centuated by his own modesty and the
fact that he was an army officer. Final
ly. however, he told Of some OF his
experiences, and showed among his
souvenirs Of the battlefield a mina-
ture Mauser automatic gun Of .2s cali
bre, firing ten shots, which he took
from . captured aviator; clip Of rife
cartridges, which he had cut from the
clothes Of dead German soldier, and
the nose Of a twelve pound snti-air-
craft bomb, which he had found i'm
bedded In tho framework Of his ma
chine after a flight over the enemy
lines.
Tho thing about aviation that is
most telling on a mans nerves. said
Lieutenant Ford, "is the seemingly IN
terninable wait for the first big she'll
from an anti-aircrafs gun. When one
gets over the enemy lines hail OF
small bullets usually strikes him. But
that doesn't matter much. We know
where most Of the big aeroplane guns
are, but We don't know whom they ara
going to fire. After the frst shot from
them they come thick and fast, but the
strain is over. All sense of fear is gone.
II is the fact that there is nothing to
occupy the avistor's mind except hold
ing to his course that makes the wait
ing so enervating."

There is another so-called Corsair
agreement, OF greater importance. made
in the library Of the Morgan house.

dicated that those interested in the
first named agreement were in perfect
accord that the intent was TO the effect
that the New York Central, the New

This happy harmony, they agreed,
included not only railroading condi-
tons, but also cooperation in legisla-
tive matters as well.
Another matter Of Importance
brought in letters was that the New

cision found that the Sherman law ap-
piled 20 pooling Of rates by competi-
tive railroads, declaring the practice TO

evidence yesterday showing that the
New Haven directors ignored this de-
