We MUST COMMAND
AIR TO Be PREPARED
SAYS ADMIRAL PERRY

Washington. D. c., Jan. 12.-Mil-
lions and hundreds Of millions spent
on great navy-on battleships and
battle cruisers, submarines and de-
stroyers-will not give the United
States adequate preparedness for
warl
Neither will the training and
equipping of an immense army, even
to the point of universal servicei
To be prepared, this country must
also absolutely command the air
about her shores. Given command
of the air the strength of an enemy,
either on land or sea, would be OF
minor consideration.
These are the views of Rear Ad-
miral Robert E. Peary, who, al
though an officer of the navy, and
recognizing fully the desirability of
this country developing her navy, be-
heves in future wars the deciding
factor will be the strength of aerial
forces.
'The broad material lesson of the
present war, for the United States"
says Admiral Peary, "is that COM
mand of the sea and command of
the land are worthless without COM
mand of the air."
Admiral Peary urges, as the most
important matter of preparedness
before congress, the passage of a
bill providing for establishing the
nucleus of an aerial coast patrol.
This patrol he would have extended
as rapidly as possible until there
were sufficient skilled aviators and
hydro -aeroplanes to "form a con-
tinuous line of whirring shuttles,
weaving a blanket of protection
around the country" in time of war.
'Whenever the time comes that
the United States is attacked" says
Peary, "the attack will not be by any
poorly organized, half equipped foe.

strong man of war that can be mus

cruisers, and a great invading force.

various arms of defense we might
develop, would be able to meet and

GOLF ASSOCIATION
WILL FIX STATUS OF
AMATEUR PLAYE RS

New York, Jan. 12.-When the
delegates to the annual meeting of
the United States Golf Association
assemble here today, the much
discussed definition of an amateur"
promises to make this years session
one of unusual interest. A determined
effort viii be made by many Massa-
chusetts golfers to have Francis Oui-
met, Paul Tewksbury and John H !.
Sullivan, Jr., of the Woodland Golf
Club, restored to their former anna
teur standing. Last year these play
ers were suspended by the national
executive committee on the ground
that all three had violated the rule
which prohibits an amateur accept
ing or holding any position as sales
man or agent for the selling of golf
supplies.
Two years ago when Frank Z.
Woodward, of Denver, was elected
president of the association, he adj
vocated a stricter Interpretation OF
the amateur rule and during his
double term of office he has been
unalterably insistent that no player
in the amateur ranks should be al
lowed to use the game for personal
profit.
Before leaving Denver to attend
tomorrow's meeting, President Wood
ward, in outlining the ideas of the
executive committee, said: "It is
either sport for sports sake or sport
for gain. The one is an appeal tc
manhood and the best elements in
human nature, the other is mere
yielding to sordid commercialism. The
best interests of golf are not alone
at stake but every game in the realm
of amateur sport is to a certain !ex.
tent involved"

cope with any or all of these attack
ing forces.
"Under a properly organized and
sufficiently developed aerial coast
patrol, however, the approach of the
enemy-from whatever quarter he
might come-would be discovered
while he was still 100 miles or more
from our ocast.
"Warning would be flashed ashore
from the wireless on the aeroplane
first sighting the enemy, and from
stations up and down the coast
scores of swift scout planes and
great battle tri-planes carrying q
ton or more of high explosives each
would sweep out to the attack before
the enemy would be aware his ap-
proach had been discovered.
"Our force should be such as tc
overwhelm and smother the com
paratively small aeroplane fleets the
invaders would be able to carry or
the decks of their war vessels anc
transports. Ton after ton of explo.
sives could be rained upon the
enemy fleet and transports, with
damage as severe as from the bonn
bardment from any big gun battle
ship.
"Not even the submarines, whel
submerged, would be immune, fol
even at great depth they are clear
ly visible from an aeroplane anC

reach close enough to shore to at

we now put into a destroyer would
give us an aerial scouting force of
immensely wider range and efficien-
cy.

equipment, costs about $4,000. A
modern destroyer costs from ST.

then, we could get so to go aero
planes, each with a speed of 100
miles an hour and range of vision
of so miles or more. Instead of one
pair of eyes with a narrow range OF
vision and speed of 40 miles an
hour at most we would have so or
go pairs of far-seeing eyes moving at
100 miles an hour.
"For the cost of one battleship--
| $25, ,000, ,000-we could have 1000
aeroplanes. And the number of mer
needed to operate these planes, even
with an observer as well as a pilot
in most of them, would not greatly
exceed the number needed to man the
one big ship.
"Who would not say that 1000
aeroplares stationed along our coast
would not give us as mu.h protec
tion as one battleship? Congress
does not hesitate to advance money

TT IS an oft repeated assertion that
the French never give up the idea
of trousers for women, and the
world that is opposed to such an idea
always comes back with the statement
that France, who adores the feminine
in woman more than any other nation
in the world, insists upon her wearing a
costume that is entirely mannish.
1t was France who opposed the Anglo
Saxon coat and skirt of wOrsted mate
rial on the ground that it took away
from women that alluring femininity
which is their chief charm. 1t was the
Paris designers who said that they
never cared to perfect themselves in the
making of costumery that was not be-
fitting to the soft curves and coquetry
of woman's figure and face.
And yet, it is Paris who, for at least
six years, has insistently struck the
note of trousers for women throughout
the seasons. She points to the trousers
Of the Orient, however, as the ones 10
be initiated. The bifurcated garments
that she designs are full of feminine
touches. They are not the square, rig
orous "pants" of the male attire OF this
generation. And yet, one Of the most
coquettish things the little girls OF
Montmartre do in Paris is to swagger
about the restaurants in boyish attire
the large trousers Of the Quarter, the
short Jacket, the soft shirt with its roll
ing collar and the flowing students tie.
1t was these little French girls who
first bobbed the hair off la Buster
Brown and wore the SLOUGH hat pulled
down over the forehead. When this
coiffure-or lack of coiffure--was intro
duced here by Mrs. Vernon Castle and
taken up by thousand and one other
women in and out of society, 1t was
thought TO be something quite outra-
geous. France had accepted it for ten
years without culver. Her people as
serted that the bobbed hair Of boy was
excessively coquettish against the al
lurement Of young girls face. How
EVER, in this country, especially IN New

Would it not be a strange thing if

about the trousered skirt as a

smart thing to do this summer is to
abolish the metal accessories and use an
elaborate design in cut jet.
For example, there are white chiffon
Grecian gowns with eight-inch straight
girdles of jet and two jet bracelets
around the arm above the elbow, to
which the underarm drapery is at
tached. This trick of keeping the ma
terial of the body close against the arm
when it is lifted, by means of some kind
of strap, is another striking feature OF
the present fashions that every woman
may care to adopt.
When the gown is sleeveless, for in
stance, this drapery that rises and falls
under the arms with the movement Of
the arms not only gives a more seemly
and modest aspect to frock, but is es-
sentially graceful. 1t is not necessary
TO make this armlet conspicuous by
using a Chinese, Egyptian or French

woman painter the world has produced,
always wore mannish attire, because
feminine garments impeded her ac-

Mary Walker the pioneer brain of all
that is now the foremost subject of this
country outside of war-the woman
uuestion-had worn trousers for so long
that if she wore a skirt the world would
consider her cause defeated.
But all these women wore the strictly
mannish attire. The modern move
ment is toward something far more
graceful and effective and less subject
to criticism. It is the patterning Of
women's clothes after the primitive
ones Of the Orient, that leave their legs
free for the activities into which they
have entered.
The extra short skirt with
the very high boot was the I
first symbol of what women s.
intended to do in this matter, Z&$
but the full skirt, with its M3%X
puttee either cut in one with FX23%T
the material or made of an XXX
other fabric, and the new
zouave skirt with the leather
puttee which is being worn
by the women who are offer
ing their services to the war,
are garments which, rightly
worn, cannot cause criticism even from
woman's severest enemy-the other
woman, for the oft-repeated lines should
really read:
"Woman's inhumanity to woman has
made countless millions mourn"
Leggings on the Arms.
One of the smart women who wore
white crepe de chine gown, the full
skirt of which ended in short legglngs
of let over white silk stockings, also
wore on her arms what one Of the men
in the audience called leggings of Jet.
The latter accessories were quite fetch
ing. They were shaped somewhat after
the fashion of the old mtt of black lace,
only they were wired to stand out over
the hand, and again to stand out from
the arm just below the elbow, where
they ended.
There are so many evening gowns
without sleeves, and so many wom-
en- whose forearms, either through Ma
ture or athletics, are not especially
lovely. that this fantastic idea of mitt
from knuckles to elbow may make a
strong appeal. They need not be fash
Toned of Jet, although it must be ad-
mitted they are more fetching in this
material than in silver or gold lace.
And, by the way, the combination of jet
with white chiffon brings about the dis
cussion of new fashion.

In spite of the rather frigid weather that
has prevailed in certain fashion centres during
a large part Of the spring, the season has been
rushing along, so far as clothes are concerned,
at a phenomenal pace; and already one sees

One almost asks whether the new velvet hats

considerably ahead of it. The question

Type, II ls Claimed.

The cast-steel ship is suggested as
getting an opportunity to furnish a
large supply Of ships without further
straining the steel rolling capacity Of
rhe country and that the direct cost In
well-organized shipyard foundries
would be less than the cost of fabri-
Gated ships In times Of peace.
Emphasis is placed on the minimum
resistance TO fraction Of the ships hull
owing to the absence Of riyeted points
and to the fact that the higher silicon
content Of east steel is calculated to
give maximum resistance to surface
corroslon. Emphasis is also placed on
The fact that the welded joints are
stronger than the average section Of
the steel casting, while with riveted
structures the weakest points are the
riveted joints. II is mentioned to point
out the feasibility OF the scheme that
German submarines are built of cast
steel sections. The casting OF the sec
tions is regarded as no greater prob
lem, being standard commercial prod

merely the application Of standard
