American Aviation.

1t is announced by the national de-
Tense council that during the first year
of the war an effort will be made to pro-
duce a minimum of $500 training and
battle aeroplanes, the education of from
5000 to 5000 aviators, and at least the
doubling Of the production capacity dur
ing the second year. In addition it is
planned to establish nine aviation train
ing fields, each with provision for two
squadrons Of $50 men each and with
equipment for e machines. Arrange
ments have been made for six Ameri-
can colleges to give cadet courses to
classes of 600 students each, insuring the
instruction during the present season of
at least 5000 men.
This is practical progress. The United
States should speed up to insure itself
an aviation equipment equal to any now
possessed by first-class power. This
war has proved most conspicuously the
value of the aviator as fighting factor.
It is needless to point out the many ways
in which the men in the air have served
their countries in battle. The present
advantages possessed by the allied
forces as result of nearly eleven
months Of fighting on the western front
are due largely to the superiority of
their air service over that Of Germany.
The artillery supremacy of the allies
would not have been effective but for
this advantage in the number and skill
in equipment of the French and British
air scouts
Men, machines and experience are
needed, and it is gratifying to find the
national defense council moving vigor-
ously forward on the right scale of prep
aration. The five-pointed white star
with a red center on a field of blue
should soon be flying over the lines in
France, alongside of the tricolor and
the Union Jack.

Conserving Red Cross Resources

The designation of Robert Lovett,
head of the Union Pacific railway sys-
TEN, to be chairman of the Red Cross
committee to eliminate waste and pre-
vent duplication Of work in war relief
is an assurance of efficiency and re-
suits flowing from the immense funds
that are being contributed by the pub
lie to this cause. Mr.. Lovett's executive
capacity. has been amply demonstrated
in his railroad work. Such committee
is essential The Red Cross activities
will be widespread in the course of the
war. It is quite as important to concen-
trate the energies and insure the
economical expenditure Of funds as to
raise the funds and organize the work
ers. Without some sort of co-ordinat-
ing agency much duplication might re-
suit from the zeal of the people who
enlist themselves in this worthy cause.
This has become an immense national
enterprise, with large percentage of
the people enrolled in its membership
and with a war fund that rises into
large figures. Mr.. Lovett's experience
in handling great railway system will
be of invaluable aid in this matter His
acceptance Of this duty is token of
the practical patriotism animating the
men of large interests in this national
crisis.

such as that which occurred eighteen
months ago. In a large measure that
blockade was caused by the congestion
at the ship terminals, where for lack of
adequate dockage an immense tonnage
was concentrated and thousands Of cars
were held up for weeks far outside of
tho points of discharge. In some cases
then the freight had to be hauled back
to the starting point. Just at present
there is some danger of this with q
shortage Of ships, but doubtless the les
son taught then has been learned, and
care will be taken not to pile up the
freight at the navigation terminals and
thus to keep the lines open for a steady
movement.
1t is necessary today to look forward
to the harvest period. An immense num-
Der Of cars will be needed to move the
crops of this country, and it is desir-
able that the freight yards and sidings
be made as clear as possible by that time
so that the extraordinary demand upon
the rails for foodstuffs transfer can be
met. Though nothing has been recently
disclosed on the subject it is to be ac~
cepted that large additions have been
made to the freight car supply since
the big blockade of 1856, and that
the country has now the facilities for
freight movement that it needs.
These precautions to keep the tracks
free for extraordinary transportation
bear also upon the movement of troops
as well as the movement of freight.
When the time comes to transport the
army all other services must yield.
Meanwhile, the passenger service will
have readjusted itself to the new con-
ditions, and in few weeks the travel
ing public will scarcely realize the
change.

The Senate and the Emergency.

Suspicion has grown into certainty.
The Senate is expected to, and will, give
&, shape to the new revenue measure. The
|. House has fallen down with the task. A
sort OF chaos exists in that body. 1t had
stumbled before Secretary McAdoo's lat
est demand was made But that demand
landed it in heap. The struggle there
now is something of pro forma at
fair. A bill must be passed, and will be.
: Then business-real business-wiil be-
gin. All eyes will turn to the Senate,
and progress there become matter of
. wide and deep concern.
The Senate finance committee has the
business already in hand. Later will
come its report, and then open debate
in the Senate chamber under rules which
admit of full freedom of speech.
Let us have a frank examination of
the situation Now is the accepted time.
All are interested in just where all are
"at." We know in general that large
sums of money must be found; that
there is money enough in the country to
meet the emergency; that the war hav
ing been declared by Congress must be
provided for.
But we also know that in finding the
money regard should be paid to bust
ness conditions; that those conditions
. should be as little disturbed as possible;
that no legitimate and profitable enter
prise should be wrecked; that taxes
should be laid equitably, and not in
spirit of slapdash confscation; that
both rich and poor should be assessed,
and that the government should be sup
. ported by all its citizens.
The Senate is we'll qualified for this
work. Among its members are men who
: have participated in several revisions of
the tariff, and given to the broad sub
ject of economics considerable thought.
And we may assume that they are fully
alive to the opportunity now presented,
and will do their best to improve it in
the public behalf.
, 1t is of note that the Old North state
is conspicuously in the picture. Mr..
Kitehin is now leading in the House,
while presently Mr.. Simmons will be
leading in the Senate. On the tariff
!. question both are democrats of the old
school, holding protection to be an evil,
and the nearest possible approach to
free trade blessing. But Mr.. Kitchin
has frankly confessed that the existing
emergency has forced him to Swallow
the tariff convictions of lifetime" We
! have yet to hear from Mr.. Simmons.

prepared to clothe and arm and equip
the enormous number Of men contem-
plated for the army Of defense, and
that months will be required to provide
the materials that are necessary. But
the whole proceeding should not be
postponed because of a shortage in mu-
nitions and supplies. 1t is essential
that a considerable contingent be sent
to France as quickly as it is possible to
provide and equip the men who are ca
pable Of doing actual war work. The
railroad brigade or division, already in
Dictated. should 60 perhaps first, as the
most urgent need today in France is for
transport lines.

Grave National Danger.

From the Indianapolis News.
The east is keenly alive to the grave
dangers threatened by this country's
participation In the war. Its anxiety.
naturally, is based largely upon the
possible vulnerability Of its long line
of sea coast. The destruction that
might be wrought by prowling raider
or even by half a dozen submarines is
ever in it's mind. and it feels, and ex-
presses. some surprise that the west
does not share in this apprehension to
the degree that it Is felt in the east
The west, however, Is by no means un-
aware Of the danger.
