at the base hospital and spreading of the disease has been prevented.
 Malaria is the only sickness the physicians have to fear in the South, and at all of the southern cantonments the proper precautions have been taken against this. Camp Pike is high and well drained. It is thor oughly severed and no waste matter is permitted to remain exposed within the camp site. There is no standing water within miles of the camp, and every stream has been made mos quito proof by an oil treatment that is looked after daily. Where there are no mosquitoes there will be no ma laria, and Camp Pike was mosquitoless before frost came, is mosquitoless now, and no doubt will be when mos quito season comes again.
 Malaria is seldom fatal, but it saps the vitality of men, and the Camp Pike physicians are solidly arrayed against it.

100 CONCRETE TENNIS
 COURTS AT CAMP PIKE

Little Rock, Dec. 26.-Camp Pike boasts of over 100 tennis courts, for tennis is a sport largely indulged in by officers, and the men are to be en- outraged to learn this very active game. The tennis courts arc all of concrete, permitting of very fast and accurate playing. The workmen have just put the finishing touches on these courts and they have been little used, for so far there has been little time for the sport.

NoRTHcLIFFE SEES LANSING.
Head of British War Mission Will Call on
President Soon.

Washington, June l6.-Lord North
cliffe, co-ordinsting head of all the Brit
ish war missions in this country, paid
an official call yesterday on Secretary
Lansing. Lord Northcliffe explained that
he had been designated by the British
war council as head of all the special
British missions with full power TO di-
rect their activities, negotiate with
American officials and report TO the va
Tious ministries at home.
Lord NorthclifTe is not a successor to
Mr.. Balfour, as he has no purely diplo-
matte powers and is confning himself
entirely to the questions Of trade, NUM-
tions and shipping. His work will not
conflict with the work of the British
embassy, but viii rather coordinate the
work that has grown up outside the en-
bassies.
Loni NorthclifTe arranged yesterday 10

here i intended to BE- brief and largely
for the purpose OF preliminary soqusint-
ance with officials. He il anxious to re-
turn 10 his headquarters in NeW oYrk

The Coast Guard.

When the coast guard service came
into being in 1915 as a result OF the con-
solidation of the revenue cutter service
and the lifs-saving service, it was put
under the control of the treasury de-
partment for the somewhat remote and
hardly convincing reason that when the
revenue cutter service was organized in
1890 the navy had not attained the dig.
nifty of cabinet department. But in
partial compensat ton for that, the very
sensible arrangement was made that in
time of war the coast guard should come
automatically under the control of the
navy department. So it has come about,
without any flourish of trumpets, that
half a hundred cutters and nearly 300
stations along our coast have become a
part of our naval system of national de-
tense, with 1000 trained men on the job
day and night
The keepers of the various stations
have become warrant officers of the
navy, and the men, REINFORCED new in
many cases by the young men who have
volunteered in the coast patrol service,
are doing a service as effective as it has

FIGHT THE
WAR IN AIR
General Squier Discusses
the Aviation Pro-
gram
PUT YANKEE
PUNCH INTO 1T
Regiments and Brigades of
Winged Cavalry Can
Put Out Germany

Washington, June l6.-"Put the Yam.
kee punch into the war;" is the way
Brigader General Squier, who directs the
aviation service, expressed it yesterday
in discussing the great airplane program
which, if passed by Congress, will involve
appropriation of something like $780,
100000 in the beginning.
By yankee punch" General Squier
means "a enthusiastically American
way OF working to get big results
"Airplanes, said General Squier, "are
the logical fighting machines for Amer
leans because we are an imaginative peo-
pie, and when our imagination strikes
fire nothing can stop us. The game
and every young American worthy Of
the name should be keen to join our fly
ing army.
"An army in the air, regiments and
brigades of winged cavalry, mounted on
gas driven flying horses, could blind the
eyes of Germany until her gunners, alb
solutely deprived of range finders, would
be put out of business by the allied ar
tillery. The magnificently obvious thing
is to knock out Germany's eyes by a
thrust through the air, but my idea
would be something vastly larger than
thrust--an inundation of airplanes would
better express the idea in its magnitude.
"Sweep the Germans from the sky,
blind the Prussian cannon, and the time
would be ripe TO release an enormous
flock of flying fighters to raid and de-
stroy military camps, ammunition de-
pots and military establishments of all
kinds. The firing upon troops by ma
chine guns from airplanes is becoming
commoner and more accurate. Once Civ
en- an upper hand the flying machine be-
comes a frightful engine of destruction"
While General Squier admits that
S600,00O,000 is a great sum, he regards
it as positive bargain considered in
terms of winning the war" The air pro-
gram, he said, should have two effects
it should crush the nerve of Germany
and at the same time inspire Americans
at home with renewed enthusiasm for
the war.

The Estimates and Registration.

| just how the federal census bureau es-
timated the approximate number OF men
between the ages of Fl and 80 inclusive
in each state has not been explained.
That there was possible a considerable
margin of error for particular states is
apparent from the shifting of popula.
ton constantly going on, notably since
the war began. The south, for example,
has lost some of its negroes to the north
and munition state like Connections
has gained heavily in population in the
past three years.
The virtual stoppage of immigration
since the European war began and the
exodus of Europeans from these shores
to their native countries around the
Mediterranean early in the war are 9TH
err important factors that would need to
be considered in basing estimates on the
last federal census of 1910. Furthermore
the war in Europe attracted into foreign
service from $4,000 to $4,000 young
Americans before the United States

who were not obliged to register LAST
week.
Still, none of the factors mentioned as
contributing to possible margin o!
error could account for some of the cd
dities of the registration returns. Why
should North Carolina, for instance, show
registration larger by 900 men thar
the estimatesg North Carolina, received
very little immigration from Europe be-
fore the war, and its growth has never
been rapid. In the past year, it has
probably lost some of its negro laborers
to the northern states. And why should
North Carolina have exceeded its esti-
mated quota, while the state of WASH
ington fell below its quota, as estimated
by about so per cent?-Springfeld Re-

The Irish Convention.

The determination to call convention
of Irishmen for the purpose OF formu-
lating a plan for home rule was a long
step towards the solution of this hith-
erto battling problem. Now another has
been taken in the fixing of the size OF the
convention at l0l members.
At first it was the idea that the con-
vention should be large one, contain
ing some 500 or 600 members, perhaps.
The mere thought of it was distracting,
but SO many are the parties and inter-
ests to be represented and so serious is
the intent that everything representable
in ireland shall have voice in this
epochal meeting, that it appeared neces-
sary to sacrifice workable dimensions to
fair play, and to call together a good
many more men than could be expected
to make anything like speed in a DELHI
erative body. Happily, a scheme has
been worked out by which the convention
can be made truly representative, and
at the same time be kept within reason
able numerical limits.
Moreover, by restricting the conven-
ton membership to 10l, there is every
reason to expect higher average abili-
ty. After taking full account of the per-
versities of local politics, and all the
cross currents through which incapacity
for anything but self promotion finds a
way to prominence, it is still fair to
assume that the l0l will be made up
largely of Ireland's best.
From such a gathering, representing
sections, religions, parties, county, Dor
ough and urban councils, everything
from the peerage to the Sim Fem, must
come the central Irish idea concerning
Ireland, determined by the processes of
government. That this
result can be reached in a moment is in
The convention will open
with men prepared to argue for the stat
us quo, and other demanding no less than
entire independence of the British en-
pire. But somewhere between these ex-
tremes is the mean. Weeks and even
months may be passed in the process of
approximation, but who can doubt that |
in the end, a small body of IOl men,
sitting in a time that calls loudly for |
al lovers of human freedom to combine |
their interests and compose their differ
pnces, can reach a common standing |
ground. and lay thereon the foundations |

The Irish prisoners who apparently are
to get their freedom under the amnesty
announced yesterday are mainly those
arrested and convicted last year for their
part in the Easter week rebellion. The
most notable of these are John MacNeill,
professor of Irish history in Dublin uni
versity, and the Countess Marklewicz,
both of whom are serving life sentences
in English jails.
AfacNeill. who was president of the
Irish Volunteers, was convicted in spite
of the fact that he countermanded the
order for the mobilization of the volun-
teers on the day of the rising and thus
prevented the movement from assuming
larger proportions than it did.
