PROMINENT IN CHINESE POLITICS

Can Sun Yat-sen come back? An
American business man, A. Masters
MacDOneil, just back from four
months visit to China. during which
he had several conversations with the
first provisional president of the
Chinese republic, is of the opinion that,
although Sun Yat-sen is making no
attempt to become president, events
may easily shape themselves in such
way as to make his selection neces-
sary, because he is the strongest avail
able man.
Mr.. MacDonell regards Sun Vat
sen as perhaps the master mind of
China. In the interview he gives the
substance of what that romantic fig
ure, upon whose head price totaling
$500G00 has been offered by provi-
siOnal governments and the central au-
thorities in Picking during the last 20
years. thinks of the present political
upheaval. and the part that he believes
the United States will play in the

When it was felt that the Red

the routine handling Of the wounded

skeleton force for the equally great
task of cO-Ordinating relief in the
devasted districts, rebuilding towns,
and reviving industries, they looked
around for someone with present big
financial affiliations and previous big
business experience. And such one
they found in Grayson Mp. Murphy

the Guaranty Trust company. He had
had experience in general business
from art metal construction to wooden

u. S. AVIATION CAMPS
ARE PREPARING MEN
FOR 100000 PLANES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 The
American Liberty Motor has been de-
veloped to such point that the Allies
are considering the purchase Of a
number of them for installation in
their machines. This statement was
made by members of the Aircraft
Production Board who have just re-
tarned from an inspection of the
training schools.
The work of preparing flyers to
man the tremendous air fleet to be
thrown into the war beginning in the
early summer is progressing splendid
IL, the board reported. There are "a
flying fields being used in this coun-
try. each with fairly full personnel.
Iii addition, there are nine ground
school where young flyers are taught
the construction and operation OF
planes. Graduate airmen are being
sent for air practice to schools in
Canada, Italy, France, England and
Egypt
The training course has now been
standardized to three months In
ground schools, after which students
have four months intensive training in
the flying stations. There they go
through all the routine of battle praa-
tice and are taught to live in the air
Many of the aviators are then sent to
tie Allied training schools for finish
ing courses in aerial combat.
The United States is now con-tem-
plating construction of an additional
100000 planes during the coming year.
The probable capacity will be not more
than half that numbeI, and these will
not be built until tbs virtually GER
tain they can be used The tonnage
shortage is also holding up the de-
livery of aircraft abroad.
Officials admitted that parts and
methods of construction are being
standardized. The decision of the AL
lies to utilize the American motor has
led to the belief that facilities of pro-
duetion in the entente countries may
be pooled If it will add to capacity
production.
The naval aircraft factory at the
Philadelphia navy yard is completed.
Il was begun in August, and the keel
of the first flying boat was laid ninety
days afterward The plant and equip
ment cost one million dollars.
The navy needs two thousand skill
ed workmen for this big aircraft plant.
1t is expected several hundred women
will be given employment.
