Washing One Of the most i'm.
p0rtant steps In aviation preparedness
vet undertaken Is the effort OF the.
National Advisory committee FOR Aero
nautics to establish an aerological SUR
vey. designed to serve aviation much
the same as the Photographic ONCE
sof the Coast and Geodetic survey ad.
yises on ocean navigation.
During the past twelve months the
committee has been exercising every
means possible to advise and assist
the aerial arms OF the government,
both for land and sea operation. This
committee has been able to assist In
;stapdardizing airplane construction to;
4 certain extent, has met with manu-.
facturers Of airplanes and airplaneI
metors in an effort to expedite the de-
livery Of machines to the government.
and has been Of great assistance In the
solution of many other problems.
Is Vital Necessity.
Now it proposes the serious consid-
Grafton Of the vital necessity Of re.
cording and charting the irregularities
OF the atmosphere so that our avi-
atOrs In peace and war may have the
benefit Of exact information both for
their own safety and as an expedient
to efficient operation OF aerial messen-
ger, reconnaissance and fighting serv-
fee.
The committee believes the time has
come when aerological stations should
be established and maintained, especi-
sally in conjunction with military sta.
fions maintained for the instruction
of aviators.
The plans include, through the CO.
operation Of the weather bureau, the
establishment of additional aerological
stations for observing measuring and
investigating atmospheric phenomena
in the aid of aeronautics, not only nj
the surface Of earth but at different
elevations up to 10000 or more feet,
and making Of set of accurate charts
Of the same.
An estimate Of an appropriation OF
100000 for the establishment of spe.
cial theological stations in connection
with the United States weather bureau
was submitted at the last session OF
congress and will again be brought tc
attention of the coming session.
Nothing Known Of Air Currents.

nautics, advised it's members to urge
most strongly the establishment and

Ing waters.
At present, said Doctor Walcott in
his telegram, Practically nothing is
known Of the movements of the fluid
in which shortly thousands Of aircraft
representing millions of dollars in in

is far more important, they will be op.

Too much honor system resulted
in riot at the penitentiary in Joliet,
Ill. Sixteen hundred convicts rebel
led against the rulings Of the warden,
and commenced firing the building.
One convict was killed and eight
severely injured, and the fire loss
amounted to 5000, 600. The prison
ers will now be kept in close confne-
ment until they realize that they are
in penitentiary, and not there to
enjoy the social pleasures of sum-
mer resort.

CATHOLICS GAIN IN VERMONT.
Increase of More Than Two Thousand
During Last Year.

Burlington, March l3.-The Catholi'
diocese of Burlington, which covers Yer
mont, gained, during 1915, zoos mem
bers, not counting probably many thou
sands who, because of the church's share
Of the floating population, cannot be pre-
cisely reckoned. 1t has total of 81 024
according to the figures of the Catholic
directory, the annual number of which
has just been published The year has
been a very busy and satisfactory one
from several viewpoints, but one which
it is difficult to estimate in terms of
work done or membership growth.
For instance, there have been 1926
baptisms; 790marriages; 225 conversions /;
and gain in the parochial school attend
ance of 237 at least. There are l04
priests, 1903 churches, and 1856 sisters of
various orders.
The Rt. Rev. Bishop Joseph ]. Rice,
who is in charge was consecrated here
on April Ia, 1910. The progress of the
church and diocese under him has been
too evident to need particular mention.
The past year five secular clergy, as
they are called, or priests, to distinguish
them from the religious or regular cler-
gy, connected with one of the Catholic
orders, were added to the church's rolls.
Two new church buildings are now in
process of construction, at Franklin and
North Troy.

Not Treason.

Hints that the senators who conducted
the filibuster against the armed neutral
ity bill are guilty of treason are far
fetched. The definition of treason agains,
the United States given in the constitu-
tion is that it shall consist only in levy.
ing war against them, or in adhering to
their enemies, giving them aid or com
fort" Germany has not yet declared
war, and even if she had, senator would
still have the right to adopt a critical at
ttude toward the foreign policy of the
administration.
The constitutional definition of trea-
son was remarkably liberal for its time;
no doubt because its trainers had been
guilty of treason to England themselves,
and they purposely limited the scope of
acts which could be held reasonable in
order TO avoid repetition of the English
tyranny.
Domestic instruction is, of course,
treason, and the southern senator's who
walked out of Congress in 1861 were ex-
PEELED as a matter of course. Arnold was
a military traitor before the country had
constitution. Burr was tried for trea-
son, but acquitted Clement L. Vallan-
digham, Ohio congressman from 1858 to
'6S, was a southern sympathizer, or Coop
perhead." For violent speeches he was
tried by military commission and SEN
fenced TO Punishment which he endured
for the duration of the war.
The most fragrant case in the Senate
was that of Jesse ID. Bright Of Indiana,
who gave to munitions maker letter
of introduction to jefferson Davis recog-
MIXING him as president of the Confed-
crate states and informing him that the
bearer was a reliable business man.
Bright was expelled from the Senate for
his REASONABLE conduct.
The same constitution which defines
treason guarantees free speech. Most of
rs disagree with the views of the filibus-
tering senators and strongly disapprove
IF their tactics, but to accuse them of |
treason" is premature, to say the least. |
They awaited themselves of technical |
law in our legislative machinery which |
must now be mended so hat such tactics |
will be impossible 70 repeat.-Boston

KEY WEST, Fla, Mar. 12.-James W. Gerard, former American ambas- sador to Germany. reached here today from Havana and after brief rest lett for Washington.
 The former ambassador was accom- panied by his wife and a party of about forty Americans from Germany He seemed in the best of spirits and heid an informal reception to citizens who crowded the railroad station to see him depart.
 Mir. Gerard expressed much interest in the international situation resulting from the Zimmermann note and eag- erly accepted copies of newspapers containing dispatches regarding it. Asked for q statement on the subject he replied that he had been silent for seven thousand miles and would con- tinue so until reaching Washington
 As far as is known the only state ment he made today regarding his plans was one to the effect that he would not accept the candidacy for mayor of New York if that should be offered him.

 WASHINGTON. Mar. l2.-Prelimi- nary steps were taken by the navy department today toward contracting for quick construction of 100 or more high speed coast patrol boats of a new type for scouting against sub marines. At conference in which a score of builders were represented. assurances were given that deliveries could be begun within four months.
 There was no announcement, but 1t is understood that contracts will be awarded shortly. Plans prepared for the patrol boats call for craft no feet long propelled by powerful steam en- zines. Details of their armament and equipment are being worked out. but probably will not be made public. They will be more seaworthy and have a larger cruising radius than the standard submarine chaser" an eigh- ty-five foot gasoline motor boat
 Some of the companies represented in today's conference have turned out large numbers of "chasers" for the British government. They will have to make changes in their plants in or der to build the larger boats wanted by the American government.

 PHILADELPHIA, March 12.-In the absence of official instructions from Washington, search of the interned German commerce raiders KronprinZ Wilhelm and Prinz Eitel Frederick at the Philadelphia navy yard for ex- plosives reported to have been snug gled to the vessel from outside sources was deferred today Addi- tional arrests in the alleged plot which may approach a status interna- tional in aspect are contemplated, federal agents admitted tonight. Five persons already have been taken into custody.
 According to naval officers, search of the raiders cannot be mde witahout in terntional complications arising there from, unless the government actually seizes the ships, and that in itself would be a declaration of war"
 Frank Garbarino, special agent of the department of justice in charge of the investigation. intimated that he did not hold this view.
 The status of the governments case against those arrested Saturday and held for trial in the federal courts on the charge of smuggling certain goods including valuable chronometers from the interned ships in violation of the customs laws, remains unchanged so far as facts which the authorities here officially have permitted to be-
