EARLY PEACE NOW
MORE PROBABLE
Both Allies and TeutOnS Must
Make Concessions.

An early peace has now become much
more probable. How much more prob
able the military events of the future
will indicate, but presumably 1t Will
rest with Great Britain, France and
Russia to say whether or not the fight
ing shall be stopped during the coming
winter, says "The New Republic, IN
commenting on the entrance OF Ruma-
MIA into the war. Unless the Central
Empires develop wholly unexpected
powers of military resistance the Allies
should be able to offer terms before
the first of the year sufficiently advan-
tageous to themselves and measurably
acceptable to their enemies.
II is very much to be hoped that they
will at the earliest possible moment
announce the terms on which they Will
make peace and that the proposed
terms will not be so drastic as to force
the Germans and the Austrians to take
refuge in a desperate and prolonged
resistance. The Germans and the Aus
trians. no matter how numerous their
enemies and how hopeless their own
chances of victory, must always retain
one poisoned arrow in their culver. II
they are crowded to the wall they can
add 80 per cent to the cost of an Allied
success. Germany, Austria and Hun
gary are in position to keep up the
fight for long time and TO make their
enemies spend additional billions Of
money and millions of men in forcing
them to accept a humlating peace.
Even though they are decisively de-
feated, their ability to do their enemies
so much injury leaves them with a
large margin Of bargaining power. 1t
remains TO be seen whether European
statesmen will prove as incapable OF
subordinating military to political con-
siderations in arranging for peace as
they were when the war was hanging
in the balance.

NATIONAL PARKS
EXCITE WONDER
More Geysers in Yellow
stone than in Rest of
World Together.

The majority Of Americans know
comparatively little about our national
parks. For example, the average per-
son does not know that there are more
geysers of large size in our Yellow
stone National Park than in all the
rest of the world together, the nearest
approach beirg the geyser fields OF
Iceland and New Zealand, says the
pathfinder; that nowhere in the
world can a valley so strikingly beauti-
full as our Yosemite Valley be found;
that the size and beauty Of coloring
of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
surpass those of any other in the world,
and that no trees in the world can COM
pare in size and age with the giant
sequoias growing in the Sequoia Ma
tional Park.
The United States Department of
the Interior mas issued booklet in
which the natural scenic beauties Of
our national parks are Interestingly
described. In it are assembled many
interesting facts, giving valuable and
not been readily accessible.
The national parks are areas set
apart by Congress because of extraor-
binary scenic beauty, remarkable phe-
nomens or other unusual qualifications
for the use and enjoyment of the peo-
pie for all time. They are admin
istered by the Department of the In
terror. They are not parks in the
IL ~ he hut
large areas which have been made
beautiful by nature, not by man; they
have been altered by the hand of man
enter them, trails to penetrate into
their interiors and hotels and camps
to live in.
Each is in charge Of a resident SUI
pervisor, who has under him rangers
whose duties are to protect the forests
from fire, the wild animals from hunt
ers and the visitors from harm.
No trees are cut down for lumber. as
in the national forests; they are allowed
to grow naturally and 10 reach their
utmost size and age. No animals are
killed except mountain lions and other
predatory beasts which destroy the
deer and young elk. No cattle or sheer
are permitted in them,
The national parks are quite sepa-
rate and distinct from the national for
ests. The latter aggregate many times
the area of the former and were ere
ated to administer numbering and graz
ing interests for the people. The trees
in the national forests are cut in ac-
cordance with the principles of scien
tific forestry, conserving the smaller
trees until they grow to certain size,
thus perpetuating the forests. Sheep
or cattle Craze in all pastures under
governmental regulations, and regu-
lated hunting is permitted in season.
The national parks are not properties
in the least commercial sense, but ma
tional preserves for the rest, recrea-
ton and education OF the people.
The national parks. IL in number,
cover a total area of nearly 1866 900
acres. almost as much as she State Of
New Jersey. The Yellowstone National
Park alone contains more than $500
square miles. Each of the eight
greater parks is quite different from
all the others; each has a marked per-
sonality of its own.

Rainier Corporation TO Have Plant on
Flushing Meadows

William D. Bloodgood & Co, Inc,
and the Halleran Agency, of Flushing,
have sold to the Rainier Motor Cor
poration five and one-half ncres on the
edge of the Flushing College Point
Meadows and extending from the Long

tributary to Flushing Creek, Bradley
St, which is a street laid down upon
the city map, one block west of Far
rington ST.; Bayside av. and the long

The Rainier company will establish
a big plant on this property for the
manufacture of motor trucks, and will
employ, at the start, $50 skilled work
men. IL intends TO increase the force
70 $50 men within n few months. Peter
n. Coco. a Flushing architect, has pre-
pared plans for two buildings, one
5Ox1OO feet and the other @00x2OO feet,
to cost $4,000. The first is 10 be
completed within thirty days after the
contract is let, and the second by De

PLAN BIG BUNGALOW COLONY
Tract of $50 Acres at Arverne Bought
,t---- for Development

A tract Of $50 acres at Arverne, L. l.,
has been sold by j. B. Wohlfarth, for
Clarence Vernam, president OF the New
York Waterfront Company. The tract
has been held at 100000, and was so Id
for little less than that sum. 1t IS
between the Edgemere and Straiton
stations.
The property has frontage Of $500
feet on Rockaway Boulevard and runs
back to Jamaica Bay. The new owners
are planning to cut this property. up
into bungalow lots, install all modern
improvements and erect comfortable
bungalows at low cost. About 5000
lots will be available for building pur-
poses. A feature of this tract is that
most of the lots will have water front
age.
An island in Jamaica Bay is included
in this tract This island would make
an ideal site for an amusement park,
and the owners are planning to develop
this along these lines.

AIRMEN DEFEAT
RIO GRANDE HEAT
Mechanical Device Solves
Guards Propeller Prob
lem at Border

The effect of the excessive heat along
tho Rio Grande upon the propellers OF
the signal corps aeroplanes has been,
at least temporarily, remedied by an
ingenious mechanical device. The pro-
peller problem has been serious. In
deed, at one tine every aeroplane in
the squadron was q victim Of pro
pelleritis" and the aviators were Of no
more use than if they had remained in
Washington.
The remedy is simple enough. Large
humidors have been constructed. When
a plane descends from a flight it is
the work of few minutes to unscrew
the eight bolts which keep the wooden
blades in place, remove the propeller
and place it in the humidor. By keep
ing the wood damp the glue a blade
is usually made up of many small
pieces of wood glued together) is pre-
vented from drying out and the wood
from warping.
This solution of the question. al
though effective, would not at all times
be practicable. The removal of the
propeller between fights is too much
like taking off the four wheels of an
automobile between runs. The Cur
tiss company has established near Gen
eral Pershing's headquarters a temp
orary factory, which has been making
all sorts of propeller experiments.
This, of course, could not be done with
an army on the move. Propeller trou-
BILE then would have to be cured by
mechanics attached to the aviation
squadron.
Other plans have been tried. Pro-
pellers have been made OF metal. They
proved incapable of great speed. Then
a blade carved from single block or
wood was tried. The heat warped the
wood. Metal caps were placed upon the
ends of the propellers to prevent the
stiff sage brush from injuring the
blades during landing. But this did
not prevent warping.
The factory is now making propel-
lers from local wood. This, Of course.
will not warp, as it was seasoned In
the climate in which it will be used:
Considerable success has been attained
by this plan. But the wood splinters
easily.
"The Curtiss people have done
much, said a we'll known designer OF
planes Yesterday. "Others should be
encouraged to work with such prob
lens. Abroad they are turning out
propellers capable of $50 revolutions
q minute. We haven't anything like
that on this side. And we never Will
have until this government encour-
ages individual constructive thought
The government must realize the fu-
tility of restricting an industry so
vital To national defence"
