that our aircraft was deficient both in
quantity and quality and that there
were scandalous reva atoms to accent
uate the disgrace Of failure.
The necessity for aircraft Tor recon
noitering purposes has often been EN-
phasized during the war, although early
predictions Of the havoc that might be
worked with the "navies OF the air"
were, happily, not fulfilled. In locat
ing the enemy and directing range by
signals, aircraft is indispensable, The
desperata devices to destroy the air
craft Of the enemy afford ample proof
Of that. Official reports show that III
aiTplanes were shot down on the west
ern front during the month Of April
The battles in the air have become
more frequent, with open movements
Of troops.
The value Of airplanes 10 the navy
for scouting purposes can scarcely be
overestimated. Congress should make
adequate appropriations for aircraft for
both the army and navy. Thanks

shall be able to avail ourselves Of all
the knowledge they have gained on
the subject. Globe Democrat.

country, The federal reserve agent
says that it has had no discernible
effect in the St. Louis district. Col

eminent will buy all the supplies ii
needs in the American market and the
money will Consequently stay at home.
The same will be generally true as 10
the loans to the entente allies. The
proceeds Of the bond sales must be
distributed fairly in deposits among the
banks Of the country.
There may be some adjustments to
meet war conditions from time to time
which will work temporary special
hardships. But there will be a general
stimulation OF business as a result Of
war orders. The equipment and main
