SENATOR ENDORSES PLAN TO remove STATUE
OF Frederick The GREAT At war COLLEGE
Owen of Oklahoma, Says Image of Prussian
War Lord in This City Should Have No
Place in the United States.

lege was first suggested. Senator
Bacon. at that time, stated that the
statue had no place in the United
States because the appearance OF
Frederick the Great represented an
autocracy inimical to all American
ideals
Instead of selected one OF Ger
many's poets or musicians TO per
petuate his memory in this country
Kaiser Wilhelp sent his ancestor
Frederick the Great-and many still
hold that the act was significant.
1t was recalled last night that six
weeks after the statue was first
dedicated some one made an attempt
to blow it to pieces.
Particularly striking Is the fact that
the stone figure of Frederick the
Great should stand in front OF the
very building In which are housed the
American officers about great maps
planning to overthrow Prussian sys-
TEN which Frederick founded.
Army officers OF the War College
refuse to become excited because they
must look upon the premiere ex-
ponent OF Prussianism several times
ago.
History Is history" one OF them
laconically remarked when interview
ed on the subject

Frederick the Great will no long
er deiiantly stand on his pedestal
before the War Club here unless the
efforts OF a ''riled" Congress count
for naught.
The thing should be thrown into
the Potomac"
Senator Robert. L. Owen. OF Okla
homa, gave this expression Of his
sentiment toward the appearance of
the obnoxious figure before one of
Americas most important war build
ings and with il has given impetus TO
a movement which promises to soon
effect some appropriate means OF de-
stroying this bronze statue of the
father of Prussianism." which was
given TO the people Of the United
States as a personal token from
Kaiser Wilhelm.
Civic bodies in the National Capital
have long expressed among them
selves the wish that the statue of
Frederick the Great be removed and
it was intimated last night, now that
the ball has been started in Con-
gress, they will gladly take up the
fight to GUST the statue.
In fact, there was considerable op-
position voiced when the placing of
the statue in front OF the War Col

AMERICA READY
FOR alright
$1,000 Planes Will Be
Ready for Service in
Short While.

America Is ready to begin throwing
her weight against Germany In the
battle for supremacy in the air.
This information. from authentic
sources. comes at a moment when
the air fleets Of the belligerents are
locked in a terrific battle for mastery
all along the Western front: when
rAmerica's aid may mean the turning
Of the scales against Germany.
Within the last few weeks 1t has
become evident to observers here that
Germany had built up strong aerial
reserve and that her resources in
this direction are tremendous. France
and England are stretching their pro-
duction. but the race has been on
even terms. Now America Is ready
to step In with the beginning of her
air armada of 15.eOO planes.
Information obtained yesterday is to
the effect that the production and
assembling of Liberty motors has
reached an encoura gins point and that
airplanes. ready for battle down to
the machine guns, are being mobillz-
ed at selected points.
And men to operate them are ready.
The intensive courses in theoretical
and practical aeronatrics. through the
Signal Corps is drilling thousands OF
men to carry the Stars and stripes
over the HindenburS line. has already
produced a sufficient quota OF grad
uate aviators to man the machines
now being made ready.
y Thousands of others are rapidly
searning the rudiments OF the ''prac-
ticaI'' end of the game at the great
army ground school at Langley Field
and in the South.
Yesterday the Aircraft Production
Board, the organization which within
less than two months has organized
the industries OF the nation into a
vast airplaine producing whole. called
a special meeting with all interests con-
Cerned in airplane manufacture, to
take up the last of the detailed work
izaticn Of airplane fittings.
Included in the subject to be dis
cussed at next weeks meeting will
be the following Standardization list /:
Engine testing specifications. Inspec-
ton methods. Machine gun mountings.
Propeller ends. Safety belts. Nom
ferrous alloys and steel alloys.
Such fittings as stick and wheel con-
trolls bearings. engine supports, mag
netO dimensions. screws and bolts,
steel and heat treatments for steel
in airplanes have already been stan
dardized.
