The Herald would like to see a use
of it's columns by citizens who desire
to express their views. 1t often hap
pens that a man has an idea he thinks
ought to be expressed and would feel
better if he could do so. We do not
want to use our columns to exploit
personal grievances, and all articles
reaching us must be signed But if
you have something to say just feel
free to say it and if you do not wish
your name published, just say so and
your wish will be respected.

Did you know that there hadn't been
silver dollar coined since 1904? The
silver dollar is at best, an awkward
affair and hardly used in the east at
all. Out west one gets silver and gold
for everything and while it looks and
feels nice, it is bulky and hard to car
ry. The government, according to the
Kansas City Star, has $476,0OO,OOO in
silver piled up in the United States
treasury representing outstanding sill
Yer certificates. With gold flowing in
TO the country at an unprecedented
rate, it is unlikely that any silver will
be coined for a long time except for
subsidiary coins.

an American inventor has pro

type designed to explode, at any
desired depth when thrown into
the sea, says the December POP

Illustrated article. The missiles
would be dropped from air craft
or submarine chasers when an en-

water or seen to submerge. TIL,

proximity to it would cause it tc

the election to be called by the

as the operations that resulted in
mining and blowing up the Mes
shines Ridge. He goes on:
eff the machines were ordered
right away, the flight could prob
ably be made between now and
early spring. and arrangements
made to produce thousands of
these machines and deliver them
by air by next summer.
"The life of large machines like
the Caproni and the Handley
Page has been estimated at min
imum of $50 hours in the air,
after which they must be over
hauled. The flight across the
Atlantic, together with the pre-
liminary flights, would take about
forty hours of the aeroplane s life.
That would leave 40 hours with
which to conduct major operations
against the German bases. AS
the distance between Great Bri-
tain and Kiel, where the German
Fleet is, is about 425 miles. and
these giant aeroplanes go at a
speed Of about ninety miles per
hour, there would be- an expendi-
ture of about ten hours Of flight
in each raid. Therefore, the aero
plane would last throughout the
flight across the Atlantic and for
eleven raids-unless brought
down by the enemy.
"Supposing that in the delivery
of one thousand war-planes across
the Atlantic there should be 10
per cent. loss of areoplanes land
ing in the war, this loss would be
insignificant; the crews would
undoubtedly be saved by the des,
troyers patrolling the route, and
the motors could probably be-
saved. But the Allies would get
900 machines with which to con
duct major aerial operations
against the German bases, which
they have not been able to con-
duct heretofore because of lack
of sufficient number of war,

WIRELESS SYSTEM FOR DE-

To assist naval airmen in de

of considerabl ingenuity has

for obvious reason are withheld.
Roughly. it consists Of compact
buoy that carries a receiver which
converts the sound waves from q
submarines propeller into elec-
trical energy. When thrown
overheard by an airman. it floats
on the surface of the water. Upon
the approach of a submarine
within a certain radius of it, the
antenna attached to the buoy
sends out wireless signals which

now at home, "mending fen

men congregate, in hail and

will wave the Dear Old
Flag in a fervor of emotion;
he will thrill his hearers with
the story of our destroyers as
they fight the deadly subma-
rine; he will paint a glowing
picture of great battleships
from whose mastheads fly the
Stars and Stripes. as they
convoy our soldiers and mu-
nitions through the danger
zones; he will recount the as
semhly of our thousands of
young men, the flower of the
land, as they fill great can

magic; she will fill the heav-
ems with an imaginary fleet of
air craft, so great as to dark

their last dollar in the furth-
erance of this holy war; and
exhort mothers, wives, and
sweethearts to rejoice in the
sacrifice of their most prec-
ious Of all earthly posses

his eyes, and his voice will
grow husky and fade away
into breathless silence like a
dying sunset on a lofty noun

THE TRANSATLANTIC
FLIGHT COMING.

"We have DISGUST at length witt
Major Perfetti, head of the Spec
ial Italian Missions for Aero
nautics in the United States, hi
plans for the transatlantic flight
every detail Of which has beel
worked out carefully. Having
considered a great many sucI
plans in the past ten years, We
are thoroughly familiar with the
problems and difficulties attend
ing such a Highland are con
WINGED that it can be done ano
done well. The largest Italia,
Caproni triplane can make the
transatlantic fight easily, and as
Major Perfetti has stated, the
Caproni Company vii be glad to
undertake it if arrangements are
made for the fight.
Italy built these huge Caproni
machines for her operations
against the Austrians over the
mountains and the Adriatic Sea.
They have all the requirements
necessary for major operations
against the German U-boat and
military bases. If duplicated h
thousandfold and flown from
America to Great Britain, their
next fight would be from Great
Britain to Kiel, Wilhelmshaven,
and other German bases.
"Mr. Glenn H. Curtiss has also
designed an aeroplane suitable for
the transatlantic flight. The Gal
Iaudet Company in this country
anG the Handley Page Company
in Great Britain are also ready
to produce a transatlantic fier.
Everything seems to be ready,
in fact, for the solution of this
problem of delivering to Great
Britain the war-planes necessary
to conduct the aerial operations
against the German U-boat and
military bases.
THE United States Govern
ment can have the transatlantic
fight made by placing contract
with any of the above mentioned
firms for the flight. These firms
are willing to contract to make
the fight at their own risk for
given and comparatively small
sum. It is to be hoped that the
Government will act promptly in
this matter. If the Government
does not act, then patriotic Amer
leans will have again to come to
the fight made at their own ex-
pense.
cit is best for the Government
to do this. because such plan
should not be carried out on a
limited scale. There should be
several machines and a number or
aviators available for the flight,
so that thorough demonstra-
ton can be given with two or
more machines if necessary, and
with the proper attendance Of
ships along the route to be COW
cred by the aeroplanes."
Considering the tremendous
cost to the Allies of even the
most insignificant advances in the
war, Mr.. Hawley feels
that this project affords the simp-
lest and most economic solution to
Germany's power. To,
carry out the plan with one ma
chine. he says. may cost 100000.
To do it with several machines
and ships along the route may
cost 81, 100000. The fight is
really simple. he asserts, when
compared with some Of the ope-
rations that have had to be con-
in the present war. such
