BIG AERO SCHOOL
IS BEING RUSHED
LARGE FORCE OF MEN TRAN0-
FORMING CORN FIELDS INTO
GREAT AVIATION SCHOOL.
BE BUILT IN EIGHT WEEKS
Administration Building, Barracks ard
Other Structures, Modern Water
works Plant, Sewage System
and Paved Streets.

Memphis.-On land which Is now
covered with fields of waving corn
and virgin forests, modern city. with
paved streets, waterworks, Steamboat
ed buildings and other cOnveniences,
will arise in eight weeks, according to
the estimate of representatives OF the
construction company, which holds the
war department contract for the erec-
ton Of the Millington aviation school.
AS an indication of the extreme
speed in construction which the gov
ernment demands, preliminary work
rs under way on the camp site, and
within a week or ten days force OF
approximately 5000 men will be en-
ployed. Probably half of this number
will be carpenters, who will be paid
the local union scale. Great gangs OF
laborers, teamsters, concrete mixers
and other workmen will be engaged at
good wages under small army OF
time-keepers, bookkeepers, foremen
and superintendent.
Twenty-Five carloads of yellow pine
lumber, purchased by the war depart
ment several weeks ago, has arrived
at Millington, and is being hauled to
the camp with teams, as the Illinois
Central railroads spur track from the
main line has not been completed.
Between SO and 60 large frame build
ings, resting on concrete foundations,
will be erected, wells bored, water
xvorkc ond ctaam-haatiug plants In
stalled and well-paved streets laid out.
Within little more than so days, it
is hoped, humming industrial city,
with machine shops, administration
buildings, barracks, fire department
and military police, will rest on the
present corn fields. 1t will have
population of approximately 1900 men.
most of whom will be student aviators
and mechanics.

BRITAIN PRAISES WILSON
Response TO Pope's Peace Plea Meets
Approval of Newspapers In Eng
land and France.

London.-All English newspapers
have words of highest praise for Presi-
dent Wilson's reply to the pope's peace
offer.
"At the end of three years of anx-
iety, it is of inestimable service to the
allies to find such leadership as this,
says the Morning Post.
The Chronicle points out that Pres;-
dent Wilson is reminding the old world
that America is unfettered by entang-
ling alliances by "subjecting the Paris
resolution of the allies to unqualified
condemnation" (This resolution is
the one providing for an economic
league against Germany after the war,
and it has been declared that its chief
effect was to solidify the German peo-
pic behind the kaiser)

with President Wilson's acquittal of
the German people for responsibility in

TO COMBAT U-5oATs.

Maximum Number of Destroyers VIII
De Built To Deal With Submarine
Menace-Piants May Be Lo-
Gated In interior.

Washington Wilson ap.
proved the estimates of the navy de-
partment for the expenditure OF an ad-
ditional $55O,0O0,O00 for new destroy
ers to combat German submarines
Provision will be sought to expend
$225,00O,000 Of the total appropriation
on construction or purchase and ex-
pansion of engine and shipbuilding
plants to provide the facilities needed.
The present destroyer building capac-
ity of the country is fully engaged. To
reach new labor centers it is indicated
that the new engine building plants
proposed will be placed in the interior.
The department has never made
public the number of destrqvers now
building nor the additional numbers
contemplated. 1t is known, however,
that when vessels under construction
have all been completed, which will
be during 1918, the navy will have a
destroyer force comparable to that OF
any power, while the new project will
give the United States the strongest
destroyer fiotilla in the world.
Navy designers have already worked
out standard type of destroyer. The
new boats probably will not differ ma
terially from the latest 35-knot oil
burning type They will be better than
any at present in commission. They
will be faster and more seaworthy and
give more room for their crews. The
new standardized designs, it is under
stood, include recommendation as to
equipment made by Vice Admiral Sims
and his officers, based on the actual
experience of American destroyers in
the North sea.

"The purposes of the United States

proper basis for peace OF any KIND,

present rulers of Germany as q guar
antee of anything that is to endure,
unless explicitly supported by such
conclusive evidence of the will and
purpose of the German people them
selves as the other peoples OF the
world would be justified in accepting.
Without such guarantees, treaties OF

in the peace of force, territorial adjust

if made with the German government,
no man, no nation could now depend
on. We must await some new evil
