as birds, rising straight off the ground
and descending without the need OF
finding long, level spot on which to
light. He asserted that he believed
that accidents would become quite un-
common, and that disabled airplane
would be so constructed that any en-
gine trouble would result in the ma
chine automatically turning into the
wind in such way that it could be
brought to earth without danger.
Admiral Peary also expressed the
belief that the time would come when
air ships would derive their power
from wireless; and when l expressed
some astonishment he reminded me
that there was as much scepticism
three years ago when the question
was broached of wireless telephoning
between Washington, New York, and
the Pacific coast-but that the thing
has been accomplished.
According to Admiral Peary, who
takes the same view of the: airplane
situation as Orville Wright, the air
plane is the only scientific contriv-
ance suggested that offers the hope
Of destroying the German submarine
or checking the German army. This
is figured out on the basis that it is
entirely feasible for the United
States to construct thousands of fly
ing machines, and by preponderance
of numbers destroy the air fleets of
Germany, thus "putting the eyes out
of the enemies armies" since without
the airplanes for scouting purposes,
the enemy will not be able to know

fare. Surprise attacks, it is calcul-
ated, have always decided the fate Of
armies; and the German army, with
its airships destroyed, would be un-
able to operate successfully. because
of the "lack of eyes,. Besides this,
according to Admiral Peary, great
force of airships would be able to des
troy the Krupp works and the German
airplane base, and help to detect the
remaining submarines at sea. and nut
them out of business.
Admiral Peary is a practical man,
and his viewpoint has been very gen.
orally accepted in Washington. His
persistent work has influenced the
Administration to ask Congress for
planes.
Germany made her most effective
movement in the war through the de-
wise of the submarine. The United
States has determined to specialize
with the airplane. If it works, it will
be the undoing of Germany; as it is a
foregone conclusion that we can out
build and outmaneuver Germany in
the air; since that nation and it's AL
lies already have more on land than
they can attend to.

WATER POWER BILL
MAY NOT REACH VOTE

Washington, Jan. 16.-(Special.)-
The entire Montana delegation has
recomme nded the appointment Of d. J..
O'Shea. Red Lodge for registrar of the
farm loan bank at Spokane.
Senators Myers and Walsh are
doubtful of their ability to get the
water power bill to a vote in the SEN
ate. If they can get the vote they are
confident it will pass, but the DISPOSE
ton of those opposing it to filibuster.
and the advent of appropriation bills,
whic have the right of way, make
chances for vote very doubtful.
In order to placate western senators
who are opposing the bill, Walsh has
proposed an amendment to give the
states and municipalities the privilege
of leasing for development from the
federal government water power sites
on public domain adjacent to streams
capable of development.
1t is doubtful. however, il this con-
cession will meet the views Of western
senators who are opposing the legis-
lation.
