AVIATIoN-WHAT In MEANs.

Four million dollars will be spent on
aeroplane development and experimental
ton at the local navy yard next year
What does this great increase mean to
American preparedness?
Let Grahame- Whites discussion of aerial
warfare in recent issue of the Fortnightly
Review, be the answer.
ANY nation which falls behind in the
struggle for air power may, in years to
come, be defeated in a campaign lasting
not year or a month or even week, but
as the result of blow delivered and COM
pleted within few hours
with aircraft flying, as they will, at
speeds of 200 miles an hour and even more,
it will be possible for an enemy, immediate
ly on declaration of war or without wait
ing for one, to strike in the course of an
hour or so with precision-using fleets of
thousands of machines-agains the very
nerve centers and vital arteries of any OPP
ponent who is i'll prepared; destroying gov
eminent buildings, arsenals, factories, and
railways, paralyzing all communications,
and blotting out whole cities.
THE power of perfected aeroplane,
when in INSCRIPTIONS hands, may in the
future become so fearful as to appear al
most superhurnan.
"Pestilence may be spread by aeroplanej
the inhabitants of great cities may be slain
in thousands by poisonous or suffocating
gases.
Swift and pitiless may be the action OF
/ sea power. Far more swift, far more pitt
| less, will be the action, ultimately of ait
power
disaster awaits nation which ignores
these warnings-which refuses to read this
writing that the war has written on the

RELIEF COMMISSIONS IDEA

Editor The Journal:
Your article in The Journal this
morning does myself and the rest of
the relief committee a great injus-
tice. We carefully Investigated the
cases reported, and found a number
of cases where houses and furniture
had been swept away, and after COM
putting the losses we wrote the de-
partment in Montgomery to see If
they could be relieved, one of the
cases being a widow within four
blocks of The Journal office. Her house
and furniture was a total loss, and
we still think they ought to be help
ed, and if we could have secured the
help from that fund we would have
been glad to do so. We expect you
to make correction.
Respectfully,
J. N. ANDREWS.

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

Facts have discouraging way of an
swering the question, Does dipping pay?
The tick eradication work in Tusca-
loosa, Ala, has been so successful that of
the $4,000 cattle dipped there last July, only
252 were found infested with the tick. Tus-
caloosa will within few weeks be freed
OF the pest.
Since Dade county has been declared
tick-free, it is rapidly forging ahead as one
of the most profitable cattle centers in all
Florida. Stock growers of Dade county are
even now planning to import twenty per
cent more blooded stock than the present
number.
The present number is already twice as
great as it was three years ago-when the
tick fourished

Knott Gains


Twenty-Five votes gain for Mr..
Knott is the record of the recount
made in three of the precincts Of
Santa Rosa county, which was made
here Monday under the direction Of
Mr.. c. D. Blackwell, of Live Oak,
Fla, one of Mr.. Knott's attorneys.
The intention had been to recount
four precincts ii Santa Rosa county,
the fourth precinct being No. 81, but
inasmuch as two of the inspectors in
that precinct have died since TIE pri-
mary it was decided to omit the count
in that precinct
Mr.. Blackman explained how many
of the errors which he is finding,
while making these recounts occurred.
From his statement it seems that the
mistakes were due in nearly every
instance to ignorance on the part Of
the inspectors as to how to record
the votes on the tally sheet, which is
quite a complicated undertaking, es-
pecially for man not familiar with
legal forms or clerical Work.-Milton
