JOINT AERIAL,
SERVICE URGED
Aeronautics Board Sees Greater
Efficiency in Merger-Makers
Meet Committee.

Washington. March 23.-Prepara-
tions for any eventualities are being
made today by the Joint board Of Of
ficers of the army and navy relative
to development Of aeronautic service
The board recommended in a re-
port made public here that aeronaut-
ical resources of the country and
their application in war could best be
utilized and operated Jointly by both
arms of the military service.
Amalgamation Urged in Report.
The report said:
'"The board Is Of the opinion that
the development Of aeronautical re-
sources of the United States and their
application in war to the maximum
national advantage can be accom-
plished best through the formulation
Of plans and regulations for the joint
development. organization and opera
ton OF the aeronautical services Of
the army and the navy, instead Of by
the separate development of each
service within delimfted exact areas
of responsibility.
while the Operations of the aero
nautical services Of the navy will be
principally over the water, and those
OF the army principally over the land,
1t may be said that a war with first
class power will find the two services
operating together. The coast line and
the water areas adjacent thereto will
become a theater Of Joint operations
in which the naval aeronautical SER
vice will take precedence prior to the
accomplishment of an invasion, and
subsequently the army aeronautical
service will take precedence II the
hostile landing be accomplished, but
in either case each service will be
supplemented and supported by the
other"
Manufacturers Meet Committee,
Aircraft manufacturers of the coun-
try are meeting today with the ad-
visory committee for aeronautics
Tho airplane manufacturers pro-
pose that the government choose not
more than five models Of airplanes for
various purposes and that builders
concentrate their efforts on these as a
means of standardizing and Fastening
the output. Nearly 80 different models
are produced now.

Chemically Pure Legislators.

Just Among Ourselves

Do Americans love their nation as intensely as
their forefathers did? Do the 100,000000 love it
as the 100000 did in the war for independence,
or the 100000 in the war for preservation?
These questions we are asking today just among
ourselves Men whose opinions are valued and
influential apprehend that American patriotism
has lost something Of its passionate quality, that
the hot blood-surgc which formerly reacted alike
to question of ones nation as well as question of
ones lady has abated somewhat; in other words,
romance in Americanism. We advert to these
questions not because we are among the doubt
ers, but because It is the time for revivfying the
faiths Of those whose faiths have been shaken.
There have been surface indications here in
America that the old spirit did not fame quite
have repressed ourselves. Witnessing the great
struggle overseas and weighing its issues, our
first impulse as people was to make known our
sympathies and to throw our influence, at least
our moral influence on the side of the right; but
we repressed ourselves Witnessing the infamous
deeds which were committed against unpro-
tected peoples and nations, our impulse as peo-
pie was to protest against these deeds and if
necessary to range ourselves with those nations
with whose ideals and purposes our own had kim
ship; but we repressed ourselves. Suffering our
selves at the hands of the ruthless power of CEN
trail Europe, we felt the same impulse Juggling at
our hearts, but again we pushed it backs Again
and again we were brought to the pinnacle OF
decision and halted there.
The prevailing policies and propaganda of the
time supplied gospel OF repression. So much was
said Of the horrors of war that some persons
whose weak wills always required leadership
were misled into the opinion that war and not
weakness was the great sin. Phrases like too
proud to fight and peace at any price, were
coined out of the furnished metal that plated our
patriotism. Partisanship and hyphenate propa-
ganda made subtle appeals; the call to sacrifice
was dimmed by the consciousness that we were
more prosperous than ever before, that the physi-
cal side Of life here was more resplendent; the
moral protest against inaction weakened each
time it failed; and so the alterations we're made
in our national feeling which the Stones and the
other skukers mistook for an essential diminu-
ton of patriotism.
But the fault never went below the surface,
and there never was time when leadership could
not have swept all the clouds aside. That was
proved in the last week, when, at the behest of
the presidents statement, the most powerful pres
sure ever exerted upon house of congress was
brought to bear in behalf Of the cloture proposal
The president turned to find the giant at his ell
bow asking only leadership; nay, at last COM
manding that he take the forward course. 1t is to
be year which will entail sacrifices but II will be
golden year for patriotism, year when the
spirit OF America again is TO be welcomed into
the company OF the shining spirit Of France. Could
VIC ask finer inspiration among ourselvesi"
