AER0PLANE
PATROL Is
PROVIDED

Ply United Press.
New York, April Tt was learned
today that fleet of fifty aeroplanes
to patrol the Pacific and Atlantic
coast as auxiliaries to the U. S. coast
guard cutters, is the proposition set
forth in a bill to be introduced during
the present session Of congress. The
bill will ask for an appropriation Of
100000 for the purchase and mainte-
nance of the fleet. There are 5000
miles of coast in the U. S. and it is
proposed to have an aeroplane sta
toned every 100 miles.
Lookouts in aeroplanes would be
able to sight ships in distress much
more readily than the lookouts on
board coast cutters; and since the air
machine can attain a greater speed
than the cutters. aid could be des-
patched to distressed vessels more
quickly. 1t is maintained that these
coast guard aeroplanes would be a
valuable addition to the military fore
es in time of war.
The possibilities Of this fleet are
great. Equipped with searchlights at

Germany Expected to Meet Demands Of
U. S. Growing Out Of Sinking Of
Steamer Sussex; Evidence Of
Torpedo Conclusive
BY United Press

BY United Press.
Washington, April 1.-THE U. S.
government. it is understood, will not
wait long for statement from Ger
many regarding the sinking of the
steamer Sussex, with Americans on
board.
The administration is said to be
convinced that German torpedo was
responsible for the disaster. The cab
met is considering the matter today.
The evidence in the hands of the
government is declared to be conclu.
sive. 1t is hinted that the reported
desire of Germany for further details
of the affair will not be looked upon
favorably. The attitude that Germa.
ny will take in the face of proof OF
guilt is the one thing now awaited
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin cabled
that he does not believe the situation
serious. Germany is expected to meet
America with complete willingness to

is confidently believed in many quar-
ters that Germany will admit the at
tack on the Sussex, and unofficial dis
patches from Berlin have intlmated
that such admission undoubtedly will
be accompanied by disavowal and Of
fer of reparation.
Acceptance of such response by
the United States would depend upon
the measure Of punishment meted out
to the submarine commander respon-
sible for the offense.
In the event of denial of response
bility by Germany the American gov
ernment would be confronted with the
necessity of determining whether il
should act on the basis of the eyi.
dence from other sources.
The only legal weakness in the
case of the Sussex, it is said. is the
fact that the American naval attaches
did not actually see the fragments TAX
end from the Sussex and the fact that
no American citizens have sworn tC

New York, April 7.-Exploiting the
idea of bird conservation, one of the
interesting exhibits at the Fourth In

community bird houses. The bird
house has come to stay in the general

all sorts of little bird houses are
shown, in all styles of architecture,
ranging from the Doric to strictly Co
lonial designs.

houses range from miniature Colo

from the stems of trees for the old
country farm houses.
The community bird house where
all the birds of the neighborhood can
gather for shelter and for feeding, is
being advocated by bird lovers. Here
the feathered neighbors can gather
for regular meals, instead of subsist-
ing on the haphazard charity of those
persons thoughtful enough to throw
out a few crumbs for their benefit.
All the new style bird houses are 50
