the active support of some of the lead
ing scientists of the couptry.
Aeronautic students declare the ap-
pointment of this advisory committee
will be a step toward placing the Unit
ed States in the front rank of the ma
tions using air craft. The point was
made by Secretary Walcott before the
naval affairs committee Of the House,
when he appeared a few weeks before

United States is the only nation of any
Importance which has no such body for
aeronautic development, in spite of the
fact that the flying machine Is an
American invention.

Papers Garry Petitions.

Several OF the LONDON morning paper >
appeared today with full page advertise
ments presenting petitions with the re-
quest that supporters Of the movement
cut them out and send them to Chancellor
Of the Exchequer Lloyd-George. These
petitions read:
IT am entirely in favor of the suspen-
sion Of the manufacture and sale Of In
toyicatinS liquors during the war, which
consider imperative for a quick and sue
cessful termination Of the war shall
heartily support the government in any
such measure.
The petition idea is backed by mer-
chants and business men and other en-
ployers OF labor. who dsclaim any save
a war interest in the proposed measure.
May Defeat Prohibition.
The sense of personal liberty is SO
strong in England that 1t may defeat
total prohibition. But the sense of fair
play fights on the side of the extreme
measure, for the opinion is growing that
if employees be deprived OF their right to
drink employers must take their place in
the same boat.
It is believed that the cabinet is in
favor OF total prohibition. which, under
the defense of the realm act, 1t has the
power to enforce without any further
legislation.
Would Take Over Houses.
Earl Gray writes to the Times sug-
gesting that the government should take
over all the licensed houses in specified
districts, as 1t has already taken over
the railways and factories, giving the
license holders a fair compensation, and
either closing the houses altogether or
administering them on reformed prin-
ciples.
The Allied Brewers and the National
Union of Brewery Workers held a
meeting and adopted resolutions pro-
testing against the proposal to intro
duce total prohibition in the country
while the war is in progress.
The resolutions and the protests ac-
companying them insist that there is
no reason for such drastic measures.
Complaint is made that thousands OF
men and women would be thrown out
Of employment if prohibition were put
into effect because Of the drunken
ness of a few men on the Clyde
Shoulder to Shoulder.
The secretary of the Union of Brew
cry workers says that this is proba bly,
the first time in the history of the
union that the workers are shoulder to
shoulder with the employers.
A large number of the shipyard
workers on the Clyde decided to do
without their customary drinks. and
the hours the men shift work, were
almost empty. while the tea shops did
