These principles of the open door and the in

1890 and 1900 respectively. and they still the
leading motives of American policy in the Far
East. Their maintenance has been seriously
teopardzed by japan than by any other nation,
and at no time seriously as since the outbreak
of the great war.
America has nothing to be ashamed of, and
Japan has (to put 1t mildly much to correct in

Germans Ahead as Builders, but Brit

Is to Bring Back information
Required by the Staff.

London.-"There's only one air serv-
ice in this war and it's the British.
If that sounds like bit of British
swank, why. it merely isn't.
It's the precise statement Of the
case which was made the other day
by an American airinan who has been
during most of the war attached to
the French air service. He knows all
about the air business, has taught
other men to fly and to fight and has
himself highly creditable record Of
bringing down Hun planes. lie knows
all the stars OF the French service and
many Of the British.
He paid high tribute to the German
flying machines. observing repeatedly
that the procession of German i'm
provements in planes and engines
moves so swiftly that the allies are
all compelled to hustle constantly to
keep from being Outdistanced. When
ever the French and British catch up
with German construction the Germans
produce something new and still bet
ter.
Equally important, he declares, the
British have much the most accurate
notion Of what the flying service is
about. They coordinate it with their
military operations most effectively.
They have less fear Of the daily report
OF comparative losses on both sides.
They use the aircraft for certain spe-
cific purposes; when the bit of infor-
nation that is wanted is accounted Of

THE British operate their service

Its the sporting instinct that makes
these Britishers such good flying men.
They're the greatest daretlevils in the

The New England Camp at Charlotte.

| Major General Woods telegram, re-
ceived yesterday by 2. V. Taylor, effec-
lively spikes the latest rumor about
possible transfer of the Charlotte Ma
tional Guard training camp to some other
point.
While those who are best posted on
the situation at Camp Greene were not
very much disturbed about the rumor
afoat Friday that obstacles to making
Camp Greene a desirable place for
camp had arisen, it nevertheless gained
considerable circulation and was the
cause of considerable disturbance in the
minds of those of the public who are not
in position to keep in touch with just
what is being done at the camp. The fact
that Lieutenant Colonel Ladue, the engi-
neer officer in charge of laying out the
camp, went to Washington to meet his
chief, General Wood, and consult him
about something that had come up while
he was mapping out the camp, did not
mean that it was sufficiently serious to
engender any likelihood of removal. In
laying out such a mammoth camp as
Camp Greene is developing into, it is
but the happening of the expected for
things to come up from time to time on
which Colonel Ladue would wish to con-
suit his chief and that is doubtless what
the colonel went to Washington for.
The government has already spent a
very large sum of money on the work
of preparing Camp Greene for the coming
of the soldiers, and to move the camp
would be a waste of just that much
money. But far more important con-
sideration is that of time. Fully two
weeks of work has been accomplished at
the camp, and TO now abandon the camp
and establish one elsewhere would mean
The loss of that time and fully that
much or longer would be required to get
he work at another site as far along as
{ is at Camp Greene. By the time prep
lration of a camp on another site could
progress as far as it now has at Camp
Greene, the latter could be made ready
or the reception of troops.
General Wood has now not only APP
roved the Camp Greene location, but
as twice confirmed the selection of the
lite, and if any more such rumors get
float, just put them down as rumors,
My, without semblance of foundation,

SUGGESTIONS TO OIL DRILLERS.
U. S. Geological Survey Indicates Struc-
ture Possibly Favorable for Oil I'm
der the Central Great Plains.

In consideration of the present great
interest in oil prospects in the Great
Plains region, the United States geologi
cal survey department of the interior
has prepared a report giving alb available
information regarding the structure OF
that region. No oil or gas has been
found in most of this wide area, hut il
contains several anticlines and domes
like those which yield oil and gas in
central Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colora-
do. so that the conditions are encourag-
ing for exploratory borings. Wells have
been drilled at number of places, but
most of them have either been sunk
where the structure was not favorable
to the occurrence of oil or gas or have
not been drilled deep enough to test all
the strata.
The structure of the central Great
Plains north of latitude 81 deg. has been
investigated by Geologist y. II. barton.
who has prepared a map showing by
contour lines the location and oonfgurs-
