BENSON RESPONSIBLE
FOR AERO SLASHING
Advisor to Daniels Shoulders Reduc-
ton in Proposed Aviation Allow
ance to 100000.

Rear Admiral W. S. Benson, chief of
naval operations, Secretary Daniels
chief assistant, shouldered the RESPONSE
bIlity for the slashing OF estimates for
the improvement OF aeronautical corps Of
the navy from s13OOO,OOO to S2,oo0OO0 be-
fore the House Naval Affairs Commit
tee yesterday.
When the question OF naval prepared
ness was under consideration at the
Navy Department. Captain Mark l. Bris-
tol, director OF the office Of naval aero
nautics, proposed an expenditure of
s13, OOO, 900 to bring the aeronautical branch
up TO an adequate basis.
"As an adviser to the Secretary OF the
Navy" Admiral Benson said, 81 con-
slider 1t my duty to consider the whole
field. In considering the question Of ad-
ditional appropriations, think we should
determine on line of policy and get a
standard type Of aeroplane. II 1t should
become necessary to prepare quickly for
war, Congress would have to be called
and II would be in session to give US
whatever money may be necessary. In
f1uenced by that idea, my advice to the
secretary has been shaped along these
lines. II I am wrong. I am prepared
to take the consequences. This advice
as to air craft was made upon my own
study and thought, and not upon any
suggestion from the general board"

THE INDIFFERENT MALE.

The apparently Indifferent male is, in
reality, as eager to preserve his good
looks as his seemingly frivolous sister,
only he is not so frank in admitting IT,
He regards any outward display OF in

weakness, an evidence of vanity, OF fem

Despite this, men are more persistent
and consistent seekers Of beauty than

THE letters from my young girl

friends in England bring more
than message-they bring
reality and a nearness to the war
which the bare, ugly facts in the
newspapers cannot give.
A girl from the quantity named
Lavender Hill section of London con-
cludes an interesting letter of her
home life and surroundings: 81 am
writing to you, Miss Pickford, per
haps out Of sheer loneliness because,
to be frank with you, 1 have just
been to see the young man l am en-
gagged to leave for the front. He has
enlisted and l shall miss him dread
fully, so | thought writing to you,
whom l do not consider a stranger
because we have met often across the
silent screen, would cheer me up, and
it has done so.
Strange how often in the hour of
our deepest trials we turn away from
our assured friends and seek new,
sympathetic shoulders upon which to
unburden our troubles"
Here is little letter from Birming-
ham, under circumstances where even
the bravest can weep: "My father is
at the war, Miss Mary, and my
mother, who waited many months for
him, just died because her heart was
broken. Perhaps she might have
lived, but not many weeks ago my
two young brothers, who are only
boys and still children to my mother,
came to bid her goodbye, for they
too, haG joined the army and were
ordered to the front. l am keeping
the house neat and orderly, waiting
and watching for them each day, and
praying that when they do return
they will bring my father with them.
81 think America must be a lovely
place and | like the pictures best
when they show the high mountains
and the beautiful boulevards."
"Ancrica is lovely place" I write
back to the little English girl, "for
no titanic machinery of war is
dragged across the wide roads here
and the little girls who arc growing
up will never know the unhappiness
war is bringing to-their little English
cousins" l wonder if the American
girls realize just how lovely their
own country is?
Another girl writes: 1--WE have
lost our only brother, who was mu-
Sician on the Yarmouth sunk in the
Pacific battle, and l am sending you
his picture and the scrap OF letter he
began to you when l urged him once
to write and tell you how much we
enjoyed seeing your pictures when
they came to London"
81 am writing to you" little Liv-
erpool girl begins, because l have
always longed for some one in whom
to conhde my joys and tribulations,
and | have always felt that this trus-
tee of my hearts secrets must be
some one who lives far, far away and
is different from me and from my
family"
l wanted to cable right across to
her, How about telling everything to
your mother, the best confdant any
girl can ever have" when my eye fell
