New York. June 4-FederaI plans for
developing aviation in the National
Guards of forty interested States are
contained in a letter sent by Secretary
Of War Baker to Alan r. HawIey, presi-
dent of the Aero Club of America, which
was made public today.
The war office has asked Congress for
an appropriation of $4,000 Secretary
Baker announces. This sum will be used
for buying equipment for the militiamen
and paying for the instruction of a num-
Der of officers and enlisted men at the
United States Signal Corps Aviation
School The letter continues:
Estimates also have been submitted for
a.oooOoo to begin the equipment of such
aero units of the National Guard of the
United States as the War Department
may authorize in the near future.
After the appropriation becomes
available, should a State make applica-
ton to the War Department for the or
ganiZation of an aero company as laid
down in the tables of organization U. S.
A. 1914, it would be favorably con-
sidered and probationary recognition
granted for a period of one year from
the date of inspection by an officer Of
the United States army, provided the
personnel OF the units presented for in
spection conforms with the standard Of
the regular army. If at least four of
the six officers OF the organization are
licensed air pilots and provided there is
available for the use of the company a
suitable flying field and at least one

Rome, June 4.-The maximum effort of
the Austrians was made on May 80 and

enormous lssses
The Italians succeeded in rapidly con-
centrating many bw heavy guns and
large masses of infantry on these plateaus

shattered.
The Italian counter-offensive began on

Leader Not Feared by the "Old

CBy the sun News serriceJ

Chicago, June 4.-Ihe Republi-
can leaders are marking time wait
ing for an intimation from Col.
Roosevelt as to what candidate
other than himself he and the Pro-
gressive party will indorse. Such
an intimation will in all probability
determine the Republican nominee.
If Mr.. Roosevelt fails to disclose
a preference in advance and he and
his friends insist upon attempting
to force the Coloneps name upon
the Republican convention there
will be another bitter fight between
the Roosevelt forces and the So
called old Guard" of the Repub-
lican party.
Stampede Not Feared.
Republican leaders assert now with
confidence that Col. Roosevelt will
AiSN nave NOLCS CiOu5H u ODNdlu the
Republican nomination. They are sat
isfied, too, that he cannot under any
circumstances stampede the conven-
tion. The task that the big figures in
the Republican party have assigned
TO themselves is to convince Col.
Roosevelt and his followers that these
are hard, cold, indisputable facts
They believe that when they have once
convinced the Roosevelt people that
there is no chance of the Colonel be-
ing nominated by the Republican con-
ventIon the way will be paved for an
informal understanding in advance in
regard to 4 common nominee for
President.
In other words. the situation here
is resolving itself more and more into
one where Col Roosevelt will possess
a practical veto power over the Re-
publican nominee. All of the Repub-
lican leaders are for harmony They
are willing to make almost any sac
rihce save the actual nomination of
Mr.. Roosevelt in order to bring about
a peaceful amalgamation of the two
wings of the Republican party. So
earnest and deep-seated is this de-
sire to get together that the Repub-

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is where the danger
often lies. You should realize that
these troubles often lead to dropsy or
Bright's disease. An effective remedy
for weak or diseased kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents Of
