omic and military resources will be decisive, it must be many months be- fore the increasing pressure is felt in Germany. How can this country strike quickly and directly at the power of Prussianism
 The answer to this question, it is agreed by experts in modern warfare, lies in swift and complete conquest of the air; in placing on the battle front such an overwhelming force of winged warriors that German strat- egy will be blinded and put at the mercy of the Allied armies. Given time, the strength of America must prevail. But it is declared that by this means, and by this means alone, it can actually turn the tide of battle on the western front and reduce the mighty German military machine to impotence.
 The task proposed is a staggering one, but every consideration urges that it be undertaken with all the en- ergy the government can command. Some citizens will be startled by the magnitude of the expenditure sug- gested, and $600,000,0 900 is an impress sive sum--until one notes that the outlay, if successful, would be bal anced if the war were shortened only two or three weeks. Great Britain spent on aviation 5,000,000 last year, and France as much, and both will spend more this year. In Britain there are 958 factories in the airplane industry, with 67,000 employees; there are hardly a score of plants in this country.
 Never did American genius face a bigger or more inspiring problem than this of making sure the conquest of the air. But the talk won't solve it, vast appropriations alone won't solve it; it will need commanding eff ciency and implacable energy.
 Germany is driven from the sea and hemmed in on land, yet she will not be beaten, except at cost hardly to be contemplated, unless she is swept from the air. What a glorious achie-

Every days developments point un- erringly to one conclusion-that this war must be won through the addition to the Allies strength of resources of the United States, and that that con- tribution must be swift if stupendiuos waste of life and treasure is to be averted.
 For two years and half the fate Of civilization was in the balance. while the American government sus. pended judgment on the issue. At last the decision was made, and the ultimate result of the conflict became certain. But that decision created a more urgent and specific problem how was the vast power of this nation to be exerted most readily and most effectually?
 The most obvious need of the over burdened Allies was money and credit, and these were furnished promptly. The colossal task of overcoming the food shortage was attacked with yigor that promises success. Plans have been made to meet so far as possible the Allies tremendous demands for coal and war supplies and shipping. The creation of a great army was un- dertaken. But most of these projects are of indirect influence, and all of them require time. Although the weight of Americas financial, econ

Germany, America, Scandinavia and
Switzerland living here together and
all of them loyal subjects of the Stars

CHAPTER XII.
THE DECLARATION.

The notable documentary feature OF
the American Revolution was the
Declaration of Independence. In this
respect, the American Revolution was
not single step in advance OF the
Brooke Revolution. The latter was as
inevitable as the former.
1t was declared at breakfast, while
the efficiency man happened to be
looking across the table at Constance.
He could not be blamed for looking.
She wore something that was blue, and
the morning sunlight helped her to re-
semble the freshness of an old-fashion-
ed garden at dawn-save that she was
not old-fashioned. Instead. she was

will serve in these days. AS for H.

splendidly efficient. He was ready to
make the days work eat out Of his
palm.
Alice. as she took her seat, laid a
| tightly rolled paper at his place. 1t was
tied with red. white, and blue ribbon.
The efficiency man picked 1t up and ex-
amined it in cursory fashion.
Something for me to read?" he ask

He slipped off the ribbon and began
the laborious task of trying to make
three curly sheets of foolscap lie fiat.
