WE SHOULD HAVE
10000 AEROPLANES

It is the opinion of the Tribune
that it becomes more and more evil
dent as the days 90 by that the war
will be carried through the winter
and on into NEXT spring. All hope
of speedy collapse of the German
military machine is lost with the ap
proach of harvest. 1t was an eco
nomic and not a military hope in the
first instance There was a possibll
ity that the people of the Central
they might eat. but somehow they
have got over the barrier and already
they are nibbling at their gardens.
Within four weeks they will be fairly
we'll supplied, though not in the midst
of plenty.
The question now is what can we
do best and quickest looking to a
victory next spring We will have
men by that time for the front line
of trenches, and we may have reduced
the U-boat activity to relatively
small Importance. But it is not on
the front that we can make our
| greatest contribution. 1t is conterded
by the visiting allied aviators that
every additional aeroplane contribut-
ed by America is worth thousand
men. Aeroplanes are easily and
quickly made, and by comparison
! their cost is negligible. One author
ity says that by Standardization of
type we can soon be turning out a
thousand a week The only neces-
sary accompaniment is the training
Of aviators, and the service ought to
appeal to all young soldiers. Any
way with the draft in operation there
can be no doubt of our ability to
equip all we manufacture. We can
have 10000 planes on the Western
front by next April. and we can have
them properly manned. This would
settle forever the question of the
mastery of the air.
The Administration has wisely de-
cided to expend millions in this
branch of the military service. The
work of construction cannot begin a
moment too soon.-Tampa Tribune.

ATTACK OF U-BOATS.

For the first time in the worlds history,
U~boats fought battle in the open against
foe that could offer defense when the Ger
IMAM under-sea squadron engaged Admiral
Gleaves' convoy. U-boats have served as
auxiliaries in battle, but never before have
they gone forth as a squadron to engage
another squadron. In this instance they
departed from their custom of blowing up
merchant vessels and hospital ships, she'll
ing life boats and Strengthening the defense
less For the time they ceased to be stink
ers of the sea and offered fair battle, even
though the advantage was seemingly all
in their favor, for they could strike in the
dark against large targets-but it was at
least fight with an enemy capable of de-
tense New experience, indeed, for the
U-boat commanders.
That the U-boats were out-maneuvered,
were met with an accurate fire which they
could not withstand, were scattered and
forced to withdraw before they could in
Aict damage upon Admiral Gleaves' ships,
gives the engagement added Importance
in that America was victorious in its first
battle of the war.

around in our shirtsleeves and forget
our collars here, as they do at Crest
view. That clothes make a mSn, IS
an old saying. Surely nothing could
be more illogical, unpleasant, or IN
slightly than coat and suspenders this
weather; if the male of the species
affects such impedimenta, it stands
to reason that he must partake of
their characteristics. Aren't men
more grumpy than women as rule?
And aren't they more undesirable
company? III leave it to cny man
if they aren't. And aren't they al
ways getting into trouble and doing
foolish things? It's all due to the
coats, lacking which, the ladies keep
cool and sweet and are things Of
beauty and joys forever.
You see real democracy in the
country. Not only is every man your
equal, but you are DANCED lucky if
he isn't your superior, Fictiti $
values cut no ice-that's slang, but it
gives a pleasant suggestion this
weather. I haven't the faintest doubt
in the world bit that if King George
fell off his horse in the red dust of
/ Crestview, the vigilance committee in
front of the pop stand wouldn't give
him a second thought-and columns
and pages of newspapers would yawn
in vain.
But seriously-I believe a mans
soul expands as you take off the
straight jacket of civilization-which
the coat symbolizes for me. l be-
/ lieve the man who wears his collar
open at the throat breathes more
! freely mentally, as he does physical
ly. l believe the man who thinks less
| about externals, thinks more of inner
characteristics. l believe that a man
is more inclined to be honest in the
country than in the city-iust as a
country dinner is more wholesome, if
less gaudy, more delicious if less
costly than a city banquet. Do you
wonder why l like Crestview?
But alas, wonder who is enjoying
my honey now!

PUT SENSE IN CENSORSHIP.

Official Washington believes President
Wilson will soon put sense in censorship.
1t is limited that he will appoint commits
sion of three experienced trustworthy
newspaper men to replace the ''magazin-
lists and feature writers who are now pass
ing upon what information the American
public shall have, and are keeping the peo-
pie in a state of ignorance never before be-
leved possible in this country.
That the press has voluntarily accepted
the restrictions placed upon it, is splendid
evidence of the willingness Of the news
papers to obey the wishes of the govern
ment, right or wrong And the thousands
of protests pouring into Washington from
every part of the country is convincing the
authorities that the present policy is wrong
and bringing to them a realization of the
necessity of giving the American public the
news OF the war and of conducting a cam
pMgn OF constructive education.
The move to give publicity to all of the
news. that it is proper to print has received
tremendous impetus since the visit of Lord
Northclife to Washington.
Lord Northcliffe owns the London Times
and is the man who smashed autOcratic
censorship in Great Britain, giving the
truth about the war to the British public,
even though he disrupted cabinet in doing
it. and soldifed all classes in support of
the government. It is stated that North
Clitte has the same views as to what should
be done in America, and that one of the
purposes of his visit is to prevent this gov
eminent from making the mistake that
cost Great Britain SO dearly.

machinery has been stolen. We behold a
people who have been drained of the last
ounce of their gold and almost the last
drop of their blood.
And yet, with all that Germany has done
TO them, the Belgian women and old men
still cling to their blackened acres, waiting
for the day of freedom; and the remnants
of the Belgian army stand indomitably in
the trenches on the extreme fringe of their
country, faces and guns toward the foe.
Americas heart is with this little nation !;
everything that we can do will be done to
free it, to bind its wounds, to make it as
nearly as possible the wonderful busy,
happy little country it was before the
kaiser beheld something that was fair and
turned it into the semblance of hell.

THE BELGIAN MISSION.

Before the war is very much older, there
viii have appeared in this country missions
from nearly every one of the nations that
are allies in the war against Germany. To
none of them will it be possible to extend
more sincere and heartfelt welcome than
we are now according to the official repre-
sentatives of Belgium.
This little nation stands in a class all by
itself, both in the role of hero and martyr.
In all the wide range of human history
there is no small country which ever COW
cred itself with more glory in the defense
of its inalienable rights, and none whose
men, women and children were ever forced
to pay more bitter penalty for their brav-
cry and hardihood in opposing the will of
a ruthluess foe.
When Germany tempted the Belgians to
take the easy path of the weak and acqui
escc in the march of Prussian armies
through Flemish fields, it was Belgium
that proudly said her treaties and her
rights were not written on scraps of paper
When the enormous gray masses of the
German army started on the move for
Paris, it was the little Belgian army that
held up the hordes until France and Eng
land could make ready. Town after town
in Belgium was made immortal by de-
Tense as desperate and as valorous as that
of the Greeks at Thermopylae
And just because they rendered this I'M
forgetable service to civilization, the Bel
gians have been made to pay, They have
been under the tigers claw. They have
been torn and mauled by the tiger. All his
vicious passion, all his barbarous hatred, all
his malignant venom has been felt by the
devoted victims.
So it is with genuine emotion that we see
the Belgian commission and think of the
country for which they stand.
We seem to see, as in a vision, low, fiat
land, whose dreamy old towns have been
shot to pieces or burned whose exquisite
churches and town halls have been delib-
erately destroyed, whose men have been
deported into slavery, and whose women
and children have often been starved,
We see land where the factories have
been dismantled and every piece of disable

A ship had to be sunk in Long Is

work out the details of the sinking
it was decided to experiment with a
miniature ship, having dolls on the

water and dirt piled up at one side
to represent the Connecticut ILLS.

Norma TaImadge in "The Law @
Compensation"

Norma Talmadge, the charmiq
and popular young picture star, WI
recently made such a great success IL
"Panthea," will appear at the Isis
theater on Wednesday in her second
Selznick-Pictures production, entitled
"Yhe Law of Compensation. This Isl
an intensely dramatic story of mod-'
ern American life. by Wilson Mizner,t
who was collaboration with Paul Arms
strong in writing such successful
plays as alias Jimmy Valentine" and
"The Deep Purple"
In "The Law of Compensation
Miss Talmadge has exceptional OPP
portunities to display her versatile
dramatic powers, because of the fact
that she appears first as a school
girl and later as a mature woman
The story leads the youthful heroine
to the point Of making a fatal step
from which she is saved by the reve-
lations of her father. The fathers
recital concerns the girls mother,
and in its enactment on the screen
Miss Talmadge appears in this ma
ture role. Both the present day story
and the fathers narrative of past
events are of an intensely dramatic
character and afford many novel sit
uations.
The picture has been lavishly
mounted by its producer, Joseph NJ
Schenck and the star is surrounded
by such we'll known film players as
Chester Barnett, John Charles, Sally
Crute, Robert Cummings, Frederick
Esmelton, Mary Hall, Edwin Stanley
and Fred G. Hearn.
