Reaching German Bases
(pfttsburg Leaderl

That the allied governments are. awaken
ing to the necessity of reaching Germany's
submarine and naval bases in the Kiel canal
and at Wilhelmshaven before there can be
any hope of curbing U-boat frightfulness is
one of the most gratifying signs Of progress.
Al well-defned program of carrying out
this war feat is now in the initial stages of
operation, the beginning of which is provid-
ing the funds necessary to construct, equip
and man the largest fleet Of airplanes the
world has ever SEEM ~
The war departments of this country and
our allies have been convinced by experts
that success is apt to come through the air..
and while no other measures are to be neg
|lected the development Of the plan to win
the war in the air is now foremost with war
department officials. wfbSsasfftIg
7 Additional support to this idea is given in
a detailed plan offered by Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske, retired, which has just
been accepted and made public by the Aero
Club of America. pen are 'qs3eL
Rear Admiral Fiske's letter to the club is
said to contain what the experts Of aviation
regard as the most definite and promising
solution Of the submarine menace yet pro-
posed M 8f a ssa y
It is their belief that German bases can
be reached effectively through the use of
torpedo planes, and that with. the operation
of such a fleet it will be possible TO destroy
the German battleships that now obstruct
passage to WilheImshaven.
1t is suggested that this plan, Of course,

But as Rear Admiral Fiske observes in bis
letter, "no war up to the present time has
been decided except by fighting" and the
chances Of the allied forces in the air are
far SUPERIOR to those of the PrussianS.

Few

Once In a while a glaring exception is
useful by contrast to show up the rule.
1t is fortunate that Santa Fe has few such

were nawar that 1t was possible in
this city. We intended to make some ex-
tended remarks about 1t, but after all, what
is there to say? ~asgtf
In contrast special credit should be given
to a number of citizens of German extrac-
ton; men who are doing their duty as Amer
lean patriots despite inbred racial sympathy,
and who rightly regard the call OF the Red
Cross wherever heard as a call to mitigate
the horrors Of war, an appeal for a cause
which knows no nation and no beiligerent,
the voice of Mercy heard above the din of
bombs, something which appeals to the fin
est in all mankind; carrying an emblem
which triumphantly demonstrates the fell
lowship of humanity despite its wars and
lbutchery.
In conclusion we might merely say that
few would care to be in the shoes OF the
citizen who is willing to let the young men
go forth to fight for the perpetuation Of
peace, so that he may retain undisturbed
the privilege of living TRANQUILITY and max
ing money-and who refuses a nickel of his
thousands to lend a helping hand to those
young men, fighting for him, when they are
stricken down on the battlefield.

Liberty Loan Educates

In addition to the main result, that Of
selling the two billion dollar bond issue
and the equally important result~o of placing
the bonds in every section of the country
and among all classes of Americans, the
campaign for the sale of the Liberty loan
bonds has had a great educational value.
The people of the United States are
much better informed now of their govern
ment's finances and methods of finance than
ever before. Hundreds of thousands of peo-

what a government bond is and the peculiar
worth and value of such securities. R
They nave been informed or what other
governments have done in the way Of bond
issues, of the wealth Of this country com.
pared with its national debt, and the wealth
of other nations as compeIed with their
national debts. WV
The campaign has opened and developed
a vast market for future bond issues of THE
United States and has opened up to the
American people and made them acquaint.
ed with a field of Investment they knew
little Of before. 1t has given them invest.
ments for their savings the equal of which
they never had before.

That Bridge

Santa Fe's greatest ATTRACTION, the feature
which IL most widely advertised, the draw
ing card which brings the majority Of tour
lists and scientists, the one thing for which
Santa Fe is Known all over the country, is
the country of prehistoric ruins across the
Rio Grande to the west of US.
Railway systems issue special FOLDERS,
tens Of thousands of which are sent all over
the country, telling Of the marveIs OF the
land Of the cliff-dwellers. The Smithson-
ian Institution, the American Museum of
Natural History, the Archaeological Insti-
tute Of America, the United States govern
ment. send famous scientists to unearth
buried cities of aeons ago amid the mys-
terious tufa.walled canyons Of the Jemez
country. Beautiful summer resorts in this
region bring visitors from all over the
world; a stream of supplies goes continu-
ally to great ranches, land grants and live.
stock. outfits. 1t goes without saying that
PajaritO plateau is Santa FEES biggest as
set. 1851 VISITS
In default of the p~rincely sum of about
$500 for repair, all this business travels
over a road that is simply unspeakable, to
get to the Rio Grande. To cross this
stream, it has to negotiate a bridge which
resembles a pile of lumber dropped at ram
dom from a Zeppelin. 1t is one of the most
picturesque wrecks which can probably be
found between the headwaters Of the Rio
Grande and the place where it debouches
into the Gulf. 70 cross it, a car has to
tilt in four directions at an angle of some
80 degrees, about two feet above a rush
ing torrent. As a matter of fact, there Is
no danger of the car going through. The
bridge doesn't sag any more, because 1t
has passed the sagging point. 1t is rest
ing on the bottom of the river, SO to speak.
So long as a car can attempt the crossing
at all 1t can get over. The appearances of
the bridge, however, does not inspire con
fidence. The average tourist would take
one look at it and decide hes never did
want to go to the F~rijoles or Los Alamos.
The main point however, is that in a few
days there will be a gap in the bridge where
the sunken portion now fiirts with the
waves. 1t will go out gently, board by
board and beam by beam and float gayly
dow to Albuquerque, and there will be no
way to get across the river. The Santa Fe
railroad will tell. a million people of the
wonders of the Puye and Tsankawi and
Santa Fe will tell the arriving tourists she
is sorry, but it's all a mistake; they can't
go there from here. #8FtE
Invite all the world to the Santa Fe Won
derland. and then turn it loose on one of
the worst roads in the state, and let it
swim the swollen Rio Grande if it wants to
see the wonderland bad enough. You get
the idea.
This road and bridge are two separate
and distinct utter disgraces to the citizen
ship of Santa Fe and Santa Fe county; the
rankest business folly and the biggest black
eye Santa Fe can possibly administer to
herself. Unless the situation is remedied
and remedied quickly we might as we'll call
off all the advertising and tell the world
we don't want the business. 1t is unfair
and unjust to advertise and refuse to de-
liver the goods.

Warm Ride in Ford
MAXWELL ail.)

Besides a lot of land OF his own, Fred
Smith is looking after several hundred acres
OF land being farmed on company account.
1t is his custom to send his trustys Ford to
the distant fields to bring the men in at
the close of day. Saturday evening he told
one Of the men at the house to take the
car and bring the men in.
The sun was still high and the day was
warm. The driver rolled along for perhaps
a miley when he thought 1t was time to take
a smoke. Acting on the idea he prDducci
his pipe n soon a refreshing cloud of
smoke was trailing behind him. So we're
numerous sparks, which he did not notice.
One OF. the sparks set fire to the rear cush-
ions and soon a merry little blaze was being
famed by the breeze. The top was down
and in a moment its many folds and cellu-
lloid windows were adding to the flames.
All the while the driver Kept his eye OH the
distant field, where the tired plowmen we're
waiting for him. i3fg as
