Hughes Speech

Theodore Roosevelt sat In box At
Carnegie Hall when Mr.. Hughes de-
livered his speech Of acceptance and
vigorously applauded every telling
point
The Colonel repeatedly arose and
bowed In response to the cheers for
him and the shouts of TEDDY" Ted
dy!" "Hurrah for Teddy!". and when
the meeting adjourned he made the
following statemenC
"It 10 an admirable speech and
wish to call attention to the following
points:
II am particularly pleased with the
exposure OF the folly. and worse than
folly, OF Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy
and OF the way in which this policy
has brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster to Mexico itself.
Moreover. l am very glad of the
straightforward manner In which Mr..
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which Mr.. Wilson has covered this ma
tion by the manner in which he al
lowed foreign powers to gain the Inn
preston that although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy they
were not to be taken seriously.
Not Werds Which Count
las Mr.. Hughes said. It is not words
but the strength and resolution behind
the words which count AS Mr..
Hughes poiAted out there is no doubt
that IL Mr.. Wilson's conduct and &C
ton had been such as to make the
foreign nations believe that he meant
precisely what he said in his strict
accountability there would have been
no destruction OF American lives by
the sinking Of the Lusitania-
When Mr. Hughes uses sropg
words his record shows that they are
always backed by strong deeds. and
therefore in the enormous majority OF
cases the use OF strong words renders

MIR. Hughes has pointed out in his
speech with seifrestraint. but with

U. S. TO HAVE GOOD FLYERS
War Department Finds This Nation
Far Behind Europe's Military
Aviation Efficiency.

Washington Plans for the develop
mcut of military aviation under the
army appropriation act have been
worked out by the war department
ana are now being put IN operation.
The scope of the plans, as indicated by
army officers. furnishes striking proof
of determination Ia approximate at
least the efficiency OF the famous
French Aviation corps.
From 1911 until March 81, 1916, only
100000 was appropriated for aNia-
ton in the army. This amount does
first Wright machine, but represents
annual appropriations of 100000 TO
$3.50. 900 for the entire service.
For the present fiscal year the war
department has $l3,23l ,6GG for avia-
ton. In previous years there was no
money or very little available for pur-
chase of machines or development of
motors The development of military
acroplanes progressed slowly. The
previous appropriations were cXpend-
ed in the training of officers for the
service.
Under the new law the aviation
corps is to have the following officers :
one colonel, one lieutenant colonel,
eight majors, - captains and ia first
lirutcnants. With this staff of officers
10 direct the training of military uvia-
tors, 10 develop machines and 10 nam

HOW LLOYD-GEORGE WORKS
Depends Much on Secretaries and
Never Writes d Letter II
He Can Help It,

II is said that Lloyd-George, the
British war minister, depends very
much ON his secretaries. and never
writes a letter if he can help it. He
has the knack of getting the men he
wants and of getting lot of work
out of them, and. as would be expect
ed. sees that they are properly re-
wardcd. When he went to the war
Office yd-GcOrgc took three of his
secretaries with him, Mr.. II. J. Greedy
who was Lord Kitchencr's secretary,
being retained also; J. T. Davies, who
has served Mr.. LlOyd-GeOrge in q very
confidential post for some time: Miss
f. J.. Stephenson, who is probably the
first woman to occupy such post with
responsible statesman, and Mr.. W.
Sutherland. who is undergrad. Lloyd
George, by the way, has made more
than one find among his private sec
retaries and, even in face of comment,
he has not heSitated To secure their
promotion TO responsible posts. There
is, for instance. Sir w. II. Clark. IL
former board of trade clerk, who was
the present war secretarys ghost" mt
the board of trade and the eXchequer,
who became a member of the council
of India. and who, N the age Of forty,
is knight, busily engaged in organiz-
ing the capture Of German trade. An
other of Mr.. LloydGeorge's former
private secretaries is Mr.. John Row
land, a brilliant Welshman, who has
done good work as Welsh insurance
commissioner.
