quite believable that the lighter
than-air monsters are to be used
not only in fighting of the German
machines, but in conducting retalia-
tory raids against German cities.
Now comes Berlin with the dec
laration that a Zeppelin has been
produced that is so effectively ar
morcd that 1t has little to fear from
anti-aircraft guns. This seems al
most unbelievable. The wars ex-
perience, however, has proved that
flying craft are much safer than
would have been imagined. The
aviator whose machine wings are
riddled by bullets suffers no great
inconvenience, 50 long as he is not
vitality wounded; II q lucky shot
stops one Of his engines, the machine
can fly with the other; II both are
put out Of commission, he has the
chance to plane down to safety. His
greatest danger Is that Of coming
down back Of the enemy's lines and
being captured.

BRITAIN'S NAVAL BUILDING

For reasons best known to itself,
the British government has opened
the gates to its great maritime con-
struction centers, and invited the
newspaper correspondents to come
in and see-even If not quite to tell
what they see.
From the Clyde we learn, what
everybody already knew, that the
most tremendous naval building pro-
gram ever attempted by any nation
is going on under conditions that
make imagination despair of ade-
quate expression. Most Of the build
ing Is still devoted to warships and
auxiliaries, but recently the number
Of merchant craft has been increas-
ing. as the naval position is re-
garded as more secure than ever
before.
After the war the world will need
merchant shipping to move q greater
tonnage than ever moved before. and
to take the places of the vast num-
bers that will have beer sunk or
worn out in naval use. Britain will
be ready to build ships for all
corners; and her first effort, of
course, will be to retain and
strengthen her grip on maritime
The United States will
have a chance to step into a
stronger position than it has occu-
pied for many years, because it will
have the bottomless purse from
which to pay the price; but it will
be able to make itself a real mari
time factor only under conditions
that will promise permanent protec-
ton to ships under our flag. Whether
a government flyer in shipping will
encourage or discourage private in

perience, .. .....

ONE WEIL-PAlD SOLDIER,
ANYHOWI

John F. Organ, major general
commanding the New York national
guard, now enrolled In the service of
the United States, draws from New
York State in normal times $4,000 a
year. A few weeks ago the New
York guard was mustered into Fed
eral service. Uncle Sam became the
guardian Of the pay check. In con-
sideration of the loan of General
Organ, the National Government
had assumed the obligation to pay
his wages.
That certainly seems fair.
Likewise, the soldier of the New
York guard was taken over as a
protege Of Uncle Sam. New York
paid him $1.25 when on duty for the
State. Uncle Sam cuts this to about
80 cents; but, of course, the private
will not protest, because patriotism
dictates cheerful attitude when he
is serving the nation. That privilege
ohould be sufficient to make up for a
measly rs cents day.
But it didn't work out that way.
General Organ received from
Uncle Sam for the month Of July
$666.67, which is the monthly pro
rata on the basis of a salary Of
$4,000; and the powers at Albany
likewise sent along check for ex-
AstlU the same amount. The sen

THE ADVANCE IN AIRCRAFT

Less than q year ago, the fastest
heavier-than-air craft that the allies
used In the west were products of
an American manufacturing concern.
Today, according to a representative
Of that establishment, the planes Of
a year ago are obsolescent If not OBJ
solete. A different sort Of flying
machine Is needed, two different
sorts, in fact.
On the one side, the scouting and
observation service required a still
faster and more manageable con-
trivance; and it is being provided, its
especially available form being the
plane with twin engines. This con-
traption does its 125 miles an hour,
and even more, 1t is said, in some
cases.
The other requirement of war in
its present phase is a numbering big
biplane or triplane that does only
about forty-five or fifty miles an
hour. but that has carrying capac-
ity Of five or six tons cargo. Its
business is to carry big load Of ex-
plosives, to be dropped where shey
will do the most damage. These
machines are now being turned out
in large numbers.
From England comes the admis-
sion that feet of Zeppelins is
being turned out for the British air
service. No details have been given
to the public, but it is claimed that
they are very fast, more rigid and
easily manageable than the German
airships.' In this branch-oi equip
ment the British were VIGOROUSLY
tagging when che war started. How
much progress they have since made
toward matching the German lir
force Is not known. Evidently there
will presently be some new air activ-

the NEW MILITARY STRATEGY

Military critics are pointing out
that since the Russian advance be-
gan, the privilege Of concentrating
where they please, and attacking
when and as they please, has passed
from the Teutons to their enemies.
The strategy of the Russians es-
pecially has been to administer
pressure in overwhelming fashion at
a particular section Of the enemy's
lines, and keep it up until the tenser
resistance shows that the enemy has
been able to make concentrations at
that point which threaten to make
further advances impossible or too
costly. Then, instead Of suspending
operations, an overwhelming Rus
sian force is launched at some other
point on the Teuton lines, and an
other series of rapid gains is won
before the Germans can readjust the
distribution of their forces.
This swing Of initiative to the al
lies probably means not only that the
Russians have superior forces of
men and munitions, but they have
built a great mileage Of strategic
railroads. They are matching their
enemy at every point.
Looking over the war field in its
larger scope, the same program may
be discerned, back Of the synchro-
nized attacks Of Italy, France, Brit
ain, Russia, and the cosmopolitan
force at Saloniki.. The British did
not send troops to help the French
at Verdun; they merely opened the
battle Of the Somme, and the French
astonished the world by taking. up
a large part Of that burden. Now
the western allies are gaining moth
at Verdun and on the Somme. Mean
while the Russian offensive has had
its greatest violence in different
areas; now against Kovel, again
toward Lemberg. or on the Stockhod,
or along the far-away Riga front.
Atop all this, the army at Saloniki,
estimated at 100000 strong, is OPEN
ing it's attacks on the Bulgar- Teuton
force which is supposed to be greatly
inferior, and apparently insisting on
a determinative clash in that GUAR
ter.
1t all means that. the allies are
now confident Of their superiority on
every front. They admit that their
capacity to produce munitions has
not yet reached nearly the maxi
mum; and Russia is reported to
have a million well-trained soldiers
ready for business, who have never
yet seen the front. Germany is re-
ported to have taken over manage
ment Of the Austrian defense against
Italy; but whence shall German
troops and material DO drawn for
that defense, with the allies crash
ing away everywhere from Belgium
to the Egean, from Riga to the
Rhine yallsy' ..---S~--

WHOSE JOB MEANS TnR Mosrp

The big four brotherhoods Of rail-
way employees that are proposing to
strike for more wages, are the best
paid classes Of the railroad workers.
They number between one-sixth and
one-seventh Of the entire force Of
railroad men. Testimony Is accumu-
lating that the great majority Of en-
ployes outside these four powerful
unions do not want q strike. They
see no possible benefit to themselves
in II. II the four great unions win, it
means that they will take a still
larger proportion Of the general
wage fund. II they don't win, they
will merely have mussed up the
whole railroad situation, and injured
the non-strikers along with them
selves.
The Job Of the man who earns a
lower wage may be quite as impor-
tant to him as is the highly paid en-
ployment Of another man to that
other. The low-wage worker has not
the reserve Of savings with which tn
maintain himself during a crisis. As
affecting merely the railroad en-
ployes, without consideration for the
general public, II IL evident that a
strike would be a general calamity.
But this is not all. The public is
in no mood to have a disaster inflict-
ed on the country. If extreme meas
ures are necessitated, these will
finally include an inquiry into the
justice and reasonableness of the
whole present wage scheme, and in
the readjustment that would follow
that inquiry, the now favored classes
would pretty certainly be compelled
10 give up some Of their present ad-
vantages, and distribute them among
classes Of men VIGOROUSLY underpaid.
The calm consideration Of all fac
tors makes It evident that absolutely
Nobody can gain, ultimately, by a
