THE WRONG ATTITUDE

We not" with considerable dsapprobation the
speech made by former Ambassador James W.
Gerard in which he refers to the deep hatred which
Germany has for the United States and to the fact
mat Admiral Won Tirpitz believed that after sub
marine warfare had forced England to her knees
Germany could then center her attention on tho
United states and collect the price of the war from
us. This might indeed have been the intent and
plan of the military, but We refuse TO believe that
the German people would have ratified such action
1t is difficult, of course to keep from craduallv
building up a strong feeling against things German
but let us try, matter how difficult to refroin
from hymns of hate" Colt strafc Deutschland.

Tor this war, or for the events which forced Ameri-
can participation. Let us rather hone for a German

OUR NEW AIR CRAFT.

| In even remote European villages the passage of
air craft Is commonplace that it fails to attract
the attention of children at play Traffic faters
and pedestrians twist their necks heavenward how
! ever on those rare occasions when an aeropane
darts across the skyline Of an American metropolis.
! In spite of this contrast, American progress in
aeronautics is gathering momentum. Our plants are
building aerial cars and boats that compare favor
ably with the best foreign machines. Furthermore.
they are developing some OF the most prodigious
craft that have ever taken to the air.
Europe's war has done more than any other thing
| to promote aeronautics in this country 1t has
| aroused some popular interest in aerial vehicles
stimulated congress to action and given our manu-
acturers the first real support they have had The
fruits of this awakening have begun to ripen For
merly we looked to France for motors and gave do
mestic engineers little encouragement The sit,a-
ton has changed and We have dozen different
types OF power plants in the class between 1875 and
300 horsepower that good. We are building
planes that make 1875 miles and more an hour We
are producing craft designed to lift from 10 to Is
tons. Furthermore what is considered the largest
aeronantic research and testing laboratory is part
of an eastern aeroplane factory.
What then Of the American machines for 1917?
The trend Is chiefly toward military craft, with
tractors strongly predominating. This is true Of
both aeropanes and flying boats. There is a partic.
llar need for small swift scouting machines of great
climbing power In providing the latter quality we
are improving Slowly. builders are devOting chief
attention to fast reconnaissance tractors. These
are almost entirely biplanes. The demand for
stanch. large battlepanes capable OF mounting sew
cral guns is an important one, and this eventually
will doubtless affect the development of commercial
vehicles. Several sporting models have been an
nounced Those in touch with the situation feel
that the general adoption of pleasure craft will pre-
cede any marked use of commercial carriers just
as the touring car came before the truck in the
automobile world. 1t remains for the future to de-
termine the accuracy of this reasoning-AIay Pop
