things enough have been proved or
disproved to give certainty to ths
word that Woodrow Wilson has found
Edward NJ House an advisory asset
There hardly can be much of real
mystery about man who twice since
this great war began las been sent
abroad as special commissioner for
the president of the United States. Col
onel House has been twice in Berlin,
five times in Paris, and frequently in
other of the great European capitals.
Some day it may be that Woodrow
Wilson Will write what may be called
an photographed review of his nd
ministration. If he does IL is entirely
likely that the part taken by Colonel
House in the shaping Of some of the
policies of the president may be given

No Mystery There.
House resides in an apartment not
very far uptown. 1t Is homelike

where good friends may come. 1t is n
genial place and no curtain of mystery
hangs over the door of any one of its
rooms. Men go there and are well

No man probably can read politics,

stantly without getting some of DR..
Dry-as-Dust's characteristics. So 1t Is
that Colonel House does not read the
four formidables constantly. He turns
to fiction and here one finds something
of possibly more than passing human
interest.

The moral side has been. thoroughly ex-
plored, and all phases of the drink traf-
fic exposed. The evil of the traffic is
widely recognized and confessed.
But the traffic pays heavily for its
privileges. It's contributions to reve-
nues, local, state and national, are very
large, and have long been received. The
fact has explained much of its AFRO
gance, and its activity in politics. 1t

not get along without it.
The ways and means committeeman in
this matter are "up against" something
difficult. If they mark whisky and beer

remove the taxes now. imposed on the
two articles, and hence a large amount
of revenue from them win continue to
come in. 1t is not a party question.
There are proiibitionists and anti-pro-
hibitionists in both parties, and both in
dealing with the traffic have lodged and
sidestepped and temporized repeatedly.

The Drink Traffic,

The members of the ways and means
committee are wrestling with a propo-
sition to increase taxes on whisky and
beer. Present rates are low, and the
traffic will bear much higher figures.
Some pretty high figures are suggested.
A large amount of money can be raised
in that way, and the demand for money
is pressing.
Assessment of these two articles for
substantial contributions to the govern
ments support at this time will mean
the postponement, for season at least,
of the proposition for nationwide pro-
hibition. For, clearly, if whisky and
beer are to continue to help support the
government, and in sums larger than
ever, they can advance with some per
suasiveness claims to protection. The
people cannot eat their cake and have it
If the manufacture and sale of into1i-
cants be ended, revenue from such
sources will cease.
And if prohibition is made impossi
be at this session, it will probably be
taken out Of the calculations for this
Congress. For taxes now laid will con
tinue without material change during
the war, and maybe for a short time
longer. Uncle Sans bills will be large

Ewes for the American Forces.

No modern military leader would
dream of sending his forces into battle
without a large flying corps in attend
ance. Lacking this equipment he would
be without eyes He could see nothing
of the enemy He would be without in
formation as to the numbers and dispo-
sitions of the troops opposing him. He
could not even direct his own artillery
fire from the position necessarily far in
the rear of the actual fighting line now
occupied by the heavier guns. Against
an enemy of modern equipment in re-
spect to aerial observation he would be
helpless.
Yet such is the position of the Ameri-
can army today relatively. It is vir-
tually without eyes. Its aerial corps is
pitifuty small, and there is no present
prospect of its increase unless plans are
prepared. with assured funds, for i'm
mediate development. The first step in
this direction should be the establish
ment of an aviation department, not
necessarily headed by a cabinet men,
Der, but sufficiently detached from both
army and navy to permit an indie
pendent administration of the aviation
forces. For the air men work with both
army and navy. They have been called
the "avry," in brief expression of their
universal usefulness in war.
Work should be begun Immediately
upon the construction of airplanes of
the largest, fastest and most stable type
for the American military service. These
machines should be ordered not by
dozens, but by hundreds, with the object
and naval planes capable of all kinds
of work from mere reconnaissance scout
ing to actual battle service with bombs
and the heaviest guns that can be car
ried aloft, and work should start imme-
diately on the development of a trained
aviation force, men who can do the kind
Of things that are being reported daily
from Europe, the things that are making
allied progress on the western line con-
tinuously possible.
Delay in this matter will put the
United States seriously at disadvan-
tage. Much is to be done to bring the
country's air equipment into being. The
creation of an adequate air force should
be one of the earliest undertakings in
the work of making fighting force.
