Keen Competition in War Is Re-
SpOnSibIe for Remark
able Advance.
HOPE TUNRS TO AMERICA
This Country Expected to Help Win
the War With Germany by Con-
struction of Great Fleet
of AirpIanes.

New YOrk.-AviatiOn has made vast
progress in the third year Of the war
The keen competition in the great
struggle has been responsible for this
remarkable advance. Various types Of
airplanes have supplanted each other
in quick succession. No sooner has
new type been designed than fast
er plane has been butt.
The progress Of aviation has empha-
sized more sharply the absolute need
of planes and dlrigibes for the army
and navy. Time after time battles
have been won and lost, concerted
drives held back or pushed ahead be-
cause Of the airplanes
Battles have been fought in alti-
tudes ever rising to the present rec
ord of some 10000 feet above the level
of the sea, and there has developed a
dexterity in manipulating the ma
chimes In the air such as but few men
dreamed Of few years back.
Early in the fall Of 1916 the race
between the allies and Germany in
the air fight became keener than ever.
Experts speeded up their efforts to
improve existing types Of planes, with
the result that old machines were
either sent back to the training camps
or TO the junk-pile more and more
men were garnered in for training, as
aviators, and factories were told to
| hustle rs they never did before
SO fast has been the race between
the contesting powers that neither
can get n commanding position in the
air. Superiority in numbers has but
| little connection with actual su-
premacy because quality counts for
so much and the standard Is raised
so rapidly.
Look to United States.
This boom in aviation was further
augmented by the entry of the United
States In the war. Factories capable
of producing alrplancs but keeping
aloof because the United States was
not involved, changed their position,
as might have been expected, and pre-
pared to turn out planes by the hun
dred TO aid In the defeat Of Germany.
II was the virtually unanimous opln-
ion among military authorities that
an influx of thousands Of American
airplanes with trained aviators along
the western front would beat Ger
many without question. 1t was ex-
planned that they could raid the Ger
man depots and munitlon centers and
cause such damage as to force Ger
many to sue for peace.
Hope was entertained when Amer
lea first entered the war that aerial
aid from this country would suffice

Vast Human Changes.

Vast Human Changes.
What changes "On the map the war
will make still await the great peace
conference to be told; but already hui
man society has been altered with
such Swiftness as can scarcely be par
alleled even in the era of the French
revolution.
Russia has changed from the great
est example Of an absolute and bur
denSome autocracy to the worlds
freeSt and most liberal democracy,
with its eyes set on ideals as high as
the stars.
The people rule in Russia after CEN
turies Of oppression and in many 9th
pr nations the bonds forged by birth
and privilege are giving way,
Germany has its first imperial
chancellor without a won to his
name-a small, uncertain step toward
democracy. Yet Il ray of hope The
iunkers and the militarists are still
in the saddle, but their faithful, care
fully nouriShed slaves for the first time
have them worried.
In every country the importance of
government has increased. The cen
tral authority has had to take over
powers it never possessed or wished
before. The peoples are thinking more
about their government, selfish
thoughts perhaps, for their leaders
mean more to them than formerly.
Governments More Active.
The British government has taken
over thousands of great industrial
plants to run on war work, while
similar changes of revolutionary char
acter have taken place in France,
Italy and Germany. Even the United
States has Communicated all the ship
yards for the purpose of speeding them
up. and will undoubtedly take over
more and more lines Of production as
the conflict wears on.
Through the vast pressure of war
business, woman's place in the com
munity everywhere has increased in
importance. The wives and sweet
hearts must labor while their men are
on the field of battle And this prOmi-
nence Of the fair sex has resulted in the
promise Of equal suffrage to women in
Great Britain and will undoubtedly
give greater political rights to women
in many other lands.
The dignity of work has received
recognition such as was never accord.

New York-The three most awful
gears I'm the worlds history have come
% q close.
Three years ago. August l, Germany
declared war on Russia, precipitating
4 conflict which has killed five million
soldiers and certainly over a million
,lvilianS-perhapS many more cost di-
-ectly between Seventy-fve and a hun
lred billion dollars, and piled up a
sum in human woe entirely incalcula-
Die and incomprehensible.
Not corner of the earth has been
too remote to feel the effect Of the
forty million or more men who have
gone forth to war. Not an intelligent
being but has been stirred to his
depths by the dreadful. waSteful fire
that has scOurged the globe.
From a petty Balkan quarrel, re-
sulting in the seizure of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by Austria and in the
assassination of the heir to the throne
Of the dual monarchy and his cOnSOrt
by reSentful Jugo-Slavs, the cOntlagra-
ton has spread to every continent and
every land. Most of the world is di-
rectly involved in war, and in the non
belligcrent countries questions stirred
up by the conflict are the subject of in
tense and constant domestic differ
enCes.

Human Life's Worth.

For their working millions the gov
ernmentS are caring as never before.
Their health and their lives are the
objects of sOlicitude. The value of a
human being simply from the stand
point of productivity, is realized. The
well-learned lesson that it pays to con-
serve human life and energy, will be re-
membered and will undoubtedly, some
day, when this war is over, result in
making the world a better place to
live in.
Mems brains have been busy these
three years of war But, if we take
Thomas A. Edisons word for it, the
results in new inventions have been
surprisingly small. And still smaller
have these results been from the point
of view Of human benefit. Most of
the new devices are means to slay and
main.
In two directions, however, the
world has progressed In ways to be
utilized in peace time. The conquest
Of the air has gone forward rapidly ;
airplanes fly vast distances at enor-
nous speeds in comparative safety.
