Our Flying Army

American aviation units nave moved
up to stations Immediately behind the
ont in France. The vanguard of
.hy new army of the air for which
- sress voted $64O,OO0,O0O last sum-
ner is about to join the forces of
I'D and sea in action against the
Germans.
Last spring the aviation corps had
less than 200 airplanes, of all degrees
IF seIviceability, and 75 aviators; now
ct of $4,000 planes is being built.
end 10000 aviators are being trained.
he total personnel Of the old flying
.orps, groundworkers as well is flyers,
vas 1000. The new flying corps num-
1ers 100000.
The task of planning for and pro
lIcing real fighting planes is the work
If the aircraft board, consisting of
.hree men, each, from the army, the
na.vy, and civil life. When this board
jegan work there were only two co n
panies manufacturing airplanes in
America. The first move of the board
vas to stop negotiations for the use
If existing patents, and to design a
new engine to meet the difficult con
,litions of air service. These engines
might be called on to operate from
sea level to heights of 10000 feet and
must be absolutely dependable under
the extreme conditions Of temperature
and pressure. To design such an en-
yine was the work Of number of eH-
perts, who freely gave their trade sec
rcts, and adopting the best from their
combined experience, in week eVoi
ed the Liberty motor.
While increasing our production, IL
has been necessary to keep up the
supply of spruce and other raw ma
terials, as well as certain completed
airplane parts for the allies. In re-
turn the allies are giving us their
rich experiences obtained in the hard
field of actual conflict. This has med
fled and is daily modifying plans and
models. Many fliars from the Euro
poan fronts arc teaching our avlatcrs
in their preliminary training in T.
lamps.
1t takes six months to make an aVi-
ator, and costs, so France says, about
s25 900 for each man. In Americ2r
training there arc three stages. The
first two arc given in America, tho
last is best done in the company OF
men who are having daily experiences.
At the beginning of the war France
and Germany had about 600 airplanes
each. Great Britain, about 100. Now
England alone is ahead of Germany
and building planes twice rs fast
Italy which had to depend on Franco
is now producing exceptionally fins
aircraft. In the year ending Angus

Airplanes are the eyes of the army

be important fighters by destruction
of munition stores, bridges. and sup
plies, and have taken important part.
in engagements. Much may be cN-
pected from the daring and initiation
of the Americans when they get INTO
action.

BOUNTY ON DAMDELIoHs

The town council at their last
meeting concluded that. II some
heroic measure was not rcsorted TO.
our town would be taken by the dam
dclion pest. They finally concluded
that the wise course would be TO offer
n bounty on dandelions and made
the bounty one half cent per pound.
II was not necessary 10 get ont any
hand bills or any other style of nd
vcriising for all they had to do was
to tell one small boy the glad news
and the work of advertising the action
was done and the way the army of
small boys md girls have been de-
livering dandclions Mt the Office of
the Town Clerk threatens TO force
the employment of deputy to help
handlc this branch of his business.
The war on the dnndelion is sure
being wngcd with enthusiasm and
will be war to n finish, II the bounty
holds out long enough.

A QUESTION OF PATRIOTIC
SUPPORT.

The universal service and selective
conscription bill was put through
congress despite the opposition Of
titular leaders of the dominant
party in both houses. A party which
is 50 organized that il lacks patriotic
and efficient leadership in the Leg
islnture is badly in need of reorgan-
ization. 1t looks now as though the
President could not depend upon his
own party for adequate support for
Administration war measures and
must constantly appeal to the minor
ity for help.
Would il not be the part of poll
teal wisdom for the President TO en-
trust Republicans with some of the
direct responsibility for the gigantic
preparations TO carry on the wari
Would il not strengthen the Ad-
ministration TO have Republicans in
the Cabinet. especially il new port
folios shall be crcatedf-New Jer-

Wants Exemption Policy Known.

Congressman Horace NJ. Towner,
of Iowa, believes that the President
should make known his exemptions
under the conscriptiOn law as soon
as possible SO that the farmers may
know at the earliest possible moment
what the prospects will be for OBJ
tanning help in the present season.
Mr.. Towner has received letter
from n member of the Iowa Legisla-
ture calling attention to the press
ing need of such information. Crops,
he declares, are not being planted be-
cause of scarcity of labor, and the
condition will be aggravated unless
farmers can know in advance wheth-
er they will be allowed to keep their
labor throughout the season. Mr..
Towner says that the cold, wet
weather in this state has already
disheartened the farmers, and unless
they receive encouragement from the
administration on the labor question,
the shortage Of acreage planted viii
be serious indeed.

Would Loan Seed to Farmers.

A practical way for the Govern
ment to stimulate the planting of in
creased crops this year without great
expense to the United States, has been
devised by Congressman ii. Dillon of
South Dakota. He has introduced II
bill appropriating $40, 100000 to en-
able the Agricultural Department to
distribute seed wheat, corn and po-
tatoes to farmers at market prices,
upon condition that like number of
bushels shall be returned to the
Government when the crop is har-
vested. The seed returned is to be
sold by the Department and the pro-
ceeds deposited in the Treasury to
offset the original appropriation. Mr..
Dillon has limited the benefits of his
bill to farmers who agree to plant at
least 20 acres in wheat or corn, or
five acres in potatoes.

the llag of their loyal deyotion.o

the flag of their loyal devotion"
The charge of "politics"'in the Of
fer of the Roosevelt volunteers,
comes with decidedly poor grace
from President Wilson after the hide
bound partisanship that has been
shown by democratic officials and
leaders in handling Colonel Roose-
velt's offer of volunteers. If there
has been any politics shown in con-
nection with this volunteer offer, the
democratic officials and leaders GER
tainly have had a monopoly on it. 1T
was well known that there was not Il
man in the United States who could
arouse as much patriotic enthusiasm
in n volunteer movement as Colonel
Roosevelt and the democratic Off
cials and leaders were politically
very much afraid of his patriotic war
enthusiasm, and the Roosevelt vol
unteer army must be turned down.

SUBMARINE MERCHANT SHIPS

Simon Lake, the inyentor of the
submarine that IN the hands Of Ger
many is playing such havoc with
merchant ships of all nations. is now
claiming to have perfected sub
marine merchant ship that can be
successfully used in international
commerce and practically destroys
the business of the German U-boat.
II may be little early TO crow much
about this discovery, but anything
that has reasonable prospect of
lessening the destruction of food by
the U-boat will certainly be received
as encouraging news by the people
of the nations now suffering from
such destruction of food.

Wilson Turns Down Roosevelt's
Volunteers.

President Wilson has turned down
Colonel Rooscvelt's volunteer army.
The reasons given for such action do
not seen to stand the light of publi-
city. His statement that, il accept
ed, Colonel Rooscvclt's army wonld
be nn independent command" does
not seem to correspond with the pub
lished account of Colonel Rooseveit's
offer. As published some time ago,
Colonel Roosevelt's oifer was that ne
would go with the command as the
junior officer among eight brigade
commanders and il will be difficult for
the people to reconcile President Will
sons talk about an independent
command with such an offer for
service.
As answer to the charge of Presi-
dent Wilson that his offer was II
political move, Colonel Roosevelt in
n published statement, says:
~ know nothing whatever of the
politics Of the numerous majority of
the men who came forward and those
whose politics do know number ns
many Democrats as Republicans. My
purpose was to enable the govern
ment TO use rs an invaluable military
asset the men who would not he
reached until the sclective draft who
ARE fit for immediate service and the
great majority of whom would not
otherwise be used nj all.
In answer TO President Wilson's
claim that the offer was largely for
dramatic effect, Colonel Roosevelt
says:
".l'he president condemns our pro-
posal on the ground that 'andramntic'
notion is needed, action that is 'prac-
tical and of scientific dcfnitivcncss
and precision There was nothing
dramatic in our proposal save ms any
proposal indicating eagcrness or will
iugncss to sncriiicc life for an ideal
