ability TO furnish innumerable men
and machines for air, afforded Amer

From authoritative sources It became
known tonight that leaders in con-

suggestions for a gigantic American
air force have impressed President
Wilson and his immediate advisers on
war matters their unstinted support,
they having been fully convinced that

Secretary Baker tonight rejected
the view OF the war college. the army

that the United States aid TO the al

tinuately- of far greater value now
than the aid which the nation can
furnish later on on the land.
Change Defeat to Victory.
"A few thousand ayiators with ma

whole difference between victory and

supremacy of the air in modern war
fare is essential to a successful army.
America must make sure that the al

Root Wins Fight.

Petrorrad. June 1T--Elihu Root
End through him America today loom
ed up in the. wars greatest battle or
intrigue and diplomacy
Only those who have been here on
the spot since March know what this
victory means, for only they know tho
odds that confronted the American
commissioner. He came to pledge to
a finish fight alongside America and
the allies a country bleeding from
frightful wounds slashed into the
ranks OF its young manhood in three
years of war. A country skiddinE
along the edge Of anarchy with a half
disorganized army. with no real CEN
trail authority as yet to prove that free
Russia is free from the greatest foes:
Internal strife.
That Elihu Root, commissioner OF
the United States of America would
win the coalition government to the
cause he represents was expected, But
that Elihu Root the wealthy law
YER whom insiduous messages from
Socialist and anarchists quarters In al
lied and hostile lands preceded with
the warning that he was the "hench-
man of capitalism" not the chosen
euissary of a free people--Root would
capture by storm the council Of SOL
diers and workmen's delegates and Sc
cure the pledge which 1t has withheld
from its own government. that Is the
miracle OF yesterday.
Did 1t With Speech.
He did it with a speech. A prom
inent Russian who heard that speech
remarked that II Root had been here
on March 10. when the cars au--
tocracy was overthrown. there would
have been no dual regime. no fAlter-
ing of loyalty no delay in launching
"A powerful drive against the Ger
mans. His eloquence." this man add

the hour and of the way to bring
them home to the people would have
swung all Russia in line solidly united
foi one purpose"
Roots speech was a psychological
masterpiece. In practical countries,
such as America, where people face
facts, wasting little time over abstract
reverses, il may sound curious but it
is a fact nevertheless In Russia It u
always the psychological element that
counts most. For In this vast land one
hundred million people devote most Oe
their time, most Of their mental er-s

soul of Russia lis as deep az the land
is vast
