U. 5. PLAN AVIATION
 FIELDS IN FRANCE
Contract Let for Building Two Squadron Camp - Site Has Been Selected-TO Rush the Training of Cadets.

Washington, June 3.-Contracts have been awarded to an American firm for the construction of a two- squadron aviation field in France, where American army fliers will re- ceive final preparation before taking their places at the front The air craft production board of the national defense council announced today that the site had been selected and that all construction material would be shipped from this country to make the field an exact duplicate of similar fields now being equipped here for the army.
 Final training will be in French battle planes and under French in- structors. As yet the United States has produced no airplanes of suffi- cient power and speed for use at the front and until American machines have been developed to the point for eign built craft will be used by American fliers for battle purposes.
 The announcement was made in q statement issued by the committee on public information in which Chair man Howard E. Coffin of the board describes the progress that is being made with development of aviators and aircraft in the United States. Three training fields will be so near completed by July 20 that 800 stu dent aviators, graduates of the pre- liminary courses given at six col leges, can begin their training in actual flight.
 AS new airmen leave American fields at the end of their four months training" the statement says, "they will fly to the Atlantic coast and em- bark for France. On French soil, under French instructors and with French machines, they will complete their preparation for actual work at the front.
 France and Great Britain have made it plain again and again that they expect aircraft and aviators to be one of America's greatest contri- buttons to success in the war. The government can say that it is actu- ally embarked on the task of over coming it's present deficiency in mili- tary aviation. We believe the outlook promises a quick development of the latent air resources of America which may be unprecedented in the military history of the world.
 America is responsible for the in- vention of both the submarine and the airplane. In the development of both she has allowed Europe to outstrip her. It is for us to show that we can yet surpass both our enemies and our allies in the development of the two

bility that Chas. Fl. Burke may i'm
bibe the notion that he may take a
cyclonic whirl for the same honor.
Nor will the dispatch in ques-
ton have any material bearing upon
the outcome of the senatorial contest,
which, if Governor Byrne and Sen
ator Sterling are the only aspirants,
will be a fight for ones whiskers, so
to speak; and which, if Mr.. Burke
should enter the field, would be none
the less interesting and forensic.
Governor Byrne is a campaigner-
everybody who is frank with him
self will have to admit that-and he
knows how to attune himself to con-
ditions which confront the country.

PAY AS THEY GO.

The Saturday News has been think.
The newspapers of the state in the
position that the newspaper postage
rate should be so revised as to place
1t upon a more nearly equitable basis,
but it is refreshing to note that the
strong and forceful Aberdeen News
takes a similar stand.
There is no reason, in the opinion
of the Aberdeen paper, why the gov
eminent should carry a pound of its
papers to Worthwhile, s.. D., a dis
lance of only twenty-five miles, and
at the same time charge no more for
carrying a pound of the Springfield,
Mass, Republican from it's home town
to Los Angeles, Cal, across the con.
tinent.
AS for the zone system, which pro-
poses to fix the rate upon the princi-
pie of the parcel post, the Aberdeen
publication believes it to be the
fairest plan yet devised for handling
the problem. ever though the pound
rate within the first 800 mile ZONE
should be raised and the free county
privilege abolished"
This low postage rate for period.
icals has resulted in the building I'D
of a lot of Cheap John affairs that
are worthless to the public and a
ena to good morals and good citi-
zenship. The higher class %publica-
tions can afford to pay their own
way--and the sooner the low-trash
sort cease to exist the better.
We believe that publishers VINO OPP
pose a revision of the newspaper
postage rate are standing not only in
their own light but in the way of
progress along the lines of public
bettermen.
So far as The Saturday News is
concerned, 1t welcomes the sugges-
ton that the newspaper should a
as they go.

SOMEBODY'S DOUBLE.

1t appears that there were two "dis-
patches of a similar import,-one
dated at Pierre and another at Faux
ton. Whether they were identical we
don't know, for we did not see the
n withsa Faulkton date line.
But It really doesn't matter wheth-
er they were identical or whether
they were not; nor does. it matter
whether they or 1t, as the case may
be, were or was inspired by former
Governor Byrne.
The Iroquois Chief assures us. and
this assurance is reinforced by a sim.
ilar statement by the Aberdeen News,
b q there vas a dispatch" printed
under a Faulkton date line saying
that Mr.. Burke is talked of as a pos
sible candidate for congressional
honors to succeed Royal G. johnson.

ton:
Il note your article In a recent
issue headed. Our Resources
Unknown and ~regretting that
we have never made any attempt
to find what lie in our
hills. We haven't done what we
might have done along this line.
! believe that you have over
looked n thing in that the last
legislature appropriated s. 100000
to investigate the coal fields and
that work will be undertaken
some time after the next fiscal
year begins. You have made
some mighty good points. Per-
haps now that we have started
on one line the general neglect
will be remedied..
The Saturday News did not intend
it's editorial to be a reflection upon
any n department, nor upon any
one person or group of persons. II
was intended to arouse public inter
est, and we are glad to note that some
interest in various parts Of the state
has resulted, or, If not aroused. has
manifested itself since the article was
published.
1t is a fact that at the time of the
publication this paper had overlooked
df it had aver known) the fact that
an appropriation had been made fol
investigating the coal fields.
Perhaps Mr.. McCaffree, since writ.
Ing his note to us, has seen Mr.
Jones excellent Interview along the
same line. If Mr.. Jones is not toe
optimistic, It would seem that a thor
ough investigation would reveal re
sources scarcely dreamed of by the

tiles of the state, and, as he sug
gests, the forthcoming experimental
work in the coal fields may broaden
into g complete survey Of all our re.
sources.

moral influence are needed, and such
seems TO be the case. will undertake
to do its part.
