TIL UNITED STATES
IN THE WAR

Some OF our military, near-military
and unmilitary war critics have been
quite caustic in their comments on
the alleged failures of the government
in the present crisis. says the Sacra-
mento Union. Colonel Roosevelt every
other day rushes into print with some
new point Of criticism. He is only
one OF a score. II the colonel had
been allowed 10 have his way he would
have had an army Of greater or less
size on the firing line some months
ago, which could have been in no con-
dition for battle and which would
have been wiped out in short order.
This makes US wonder whether the
Union classes itself as a military,
near-military or unmilitary war
critic" The opinion sounds as il 1t
might have been written by the prize
fight editor, who somehow or other
Imagined the soldiers wandered abont
pretty much as they pleased and
picked a fight with a German here and
there, in which physical condition Of
the ~combatants would tell. Condi-
ton doesn't count for much against
pieces of shell, or fame, or gas.
1t is worth while TO listen to the
opinion of an expert on this subject,
and we have n at hand. Captain
Gustave Capard, consulting engineer
for General Petain Of the French army,
recently arrived in New York on a
government mission. In the curse Of
an interview the captain gave his
opinion as to how the Americans
might help in the war. He said:
"The intervention of the United
States came at a time when certain
sharply-deined policies had been de-
veloped; when the network OF organi-
cation had been long established and
working. So the part OF the Unite5
States must be that of collaboration
with the huge groundwork already
laid. France holds today a war front
of about 500 kilometers. The Eng
lish hold a front of about 200 kilo-
meters. This Is the accumulation Of
the work of two years. II during the
mex year. American troops are able
to obtain a front of so kilometers, they
will have done remarkably well! Very
good.
Haste in making an army is less
essential than proper preparation.
System and thoroughness are more
to be desired than speed. We may
make our blunders, but in the end we
viii have an army which will bring
victory to the forces of democracy
and establish permanent peace.

Maryland Negro Company
 Now at Camp Mcclellan

Anniston, November 3.-(Special.)-The first separate company of Maryland in fantry, colored. which arrived at ( mp Mcclellan Wednesday night. is now en- camped at the end of the artillery brigade in tents that show by their olor that the men had service in Pittsbu~S before coming south The tents were once of white duck --or they may have been khaki-colored--b the atmosphere of the Smoky City has stained them dlslxy black.
 There are 157 men in the outfit, which will hereafter be under tho command of Maj Hugh l.. Reilley of Annapolis, who has charge of the ammunition train. The organization is an old one. having been organized s years ago. and Capt. M R. Spencer, colored. has been in command for S5 years, being one of tha oldest ranking captains In service. First Sergeant William Creigler has been in service B years, Supply Sergeant Will liam D. Taylor has had 27 years serv- ice. and Mess Sergeant George A. Campbell has had l9 years service. while Musician James R. Brown has been bugling for the company for over a quarter of a century.
 A Maryland officer who knows the or- ganization, and has known it for a number of years. said today that no trouble need be feared between the ne- gro troops and the white soldiers or civilians. ''They are all seasoned men and well disciplined" he said. They have had service In camps with white soldiers before and have never had any trouble. Tn fact, there are few military Organizations in the United States that lsave any cleaner records than the first

natural that the southern Appalachian Good Roads association. in its resent annual meeting at Nashville. should decide to lend its energies toward tho Chamberlain-Dent bill But the con. cern in the matter Is not confined to southern states, for not long ago the governor of New Jersey appealed to the quartermaster general for federal help in connection with the principal roads leading into the Burlington com ty cantonment, because these arteries were succumbing to the intense trat4ic to which they were being subjected' and the prediction was made that un- less relief was obtained the roads into Camp Dix would be impossible before the winter was very far advanced.
 It Is not possible for the Seo et of Agriculture under the provisions of the federal aid road act, which distribute sS5,000,000 among the several states during a hve-year period, to offer any cooperation in the premises, and the only method of handling the situation is to give authority to the war depart- ment so that its engineering corps can

The penwomen Of washintgon do not

a statement OF Mrs. Margaret e.
Pearson. president OF the local branch
OF the league OF American Penwomen,
which Is making census Of league
members with view to taking the
places of newspaper and magazine
writer's, who might be called to the
colors.
The service which the women will
render. according to Mrs. Pearson, is
q distinctly patriotic one. The mem
in their statements of willingness to
serve and from the newspapers Of the
city, notes of thanks have been hand.
cd to Mrs. Pearson.
cit is possible that many of the wom-
en- will give their services gratis-thai
Is they will expect TO draw stlaries and
will turn the money over to the famI-
lies of the men whom they supplant,"
said Mrs. Pearson. This, however,
is a matter for the individual to de-
eide. We are all women with respon-
sibilities and II we leave our work for
this new enterprise It is only Just that
we should receive compensation, Just
as women in munition factories re-
ceive compensation. There can be no
question about the patriotic spirit OF
our organization"
According to Mrs. Pearson there are
many trained newspaper women in the
league who could do the work i'm

SAYS AERO PROGRAM
IS STRATEGIC MOVE
Sheppard Believes Passage of Bill
Will Hasten End of War.

In the passage of the $3.50, OO0, 900
bill for airplanes, America has taken
her greatest stride toward winning the
war;" said Senator Sheppard of Texas,
yesterday. Nothing that has vet
been done. and I do not except the
Pershing expedition, can compare with
this first step to blind Germany and
at the same time overcome the sub
marine peril.
ITO use a slang expression, think
we have come near to beating the
Germans to it, have not the sleight-
est doubt that right today Germany
Is not building airplanes at an enor-
nous rate. The last raid shows what
the Kaiser has set out to do-and IL
has shown what he can do with the
powerful feet OF the air crafts, with
which he undoubtedly equipping himself.
The United States has much more
to do, though, than spend the $780,
100000 just made available. That
money will give US only about 1900
machines. When you stop to consider
that an airplane is out of date in
thirty days, the need for still speedier
action Is apparent. We must have
more money for airships and look for
the new Congress to give It.
Americas slogan should be- win
the war in the air. The air-boat
can conquer the under sea boat. Every
expert we had before US in the recent
Senate subcommittee hearings on es-
tablishing a department Of aeronauties
was OF this opinion.
