THE BRITisH cHlEF oF srAFF.

q
 In London not little surprise and regret has been manifested at the ac- ton taken in regard to the case of General Robertson as chief of staff. Not little discussion has been stim- ulated over the question as to whether he resigned or was dismissed but it seems to have been a case where Gen. eral Robertson, who was recognized as a great worker In his position and thoroughly acquainted with military affairs, had gotten out of tune with those higher in authority and inas- much as it became necessary to make changes which were approved by oth- CTS but were not satisfactory to him it was obligatory that he should ad- just himself to the new conditions or step out and let someone else who would it in take up his work. Given the chance to carry out the direction of the war as a member of the sti. preme council, or hold his old pe- he was unwilling to do either. Be- cause he held his own ideas to be sus perior to those of the members of the war council it became necessary to make change and whether this was accomplished by allowing him to re- sign or by actually asking him to step out makes little difference.
 It will be regretted that the ser vices of man of his capabilities must be lost but as Premier Lloyd George said in explanation there was nothing else to be done if as the great ma jority believed the interests of the en- tente nations were to be the best served. There can be no question but what the nations must work together and recognition pf that necessity can. not be disregarded by the people in connection with the change. It was a step that had been hanging fire fol some time.

but in the enforcement it is to be re- alized that all those who are unwill- ing to live under such conditions need to do is to cross into some adjoining state and the law becomes ineffective as far as they are concerned. Thus while New Jersey might overcome ioafing other states simply invite it.
 But if such law is good for New Jersey, why is it not a good thing for other states or for the wheie coun- try? A federal law Of this kind would come in handy jpet now when there is 50 much talk about conserip- tion in order to overcome the shortage of labor in certain directions.

Unjust to The Farmers.

Mir. Editor, I have seen quite a number of effusions from the pen Of J. H. Cummings, and he seems to have eaten something that disagrees with him. Every little while he breaks out with a new sore. This time, 1t is .ihe farmers. and their charge of high prices for their pro- duce, but Mr Cummings does not say anything about what farmers have to pay for their Iiecessaries. Perhaps Mir. Cummings thinks farmers do not have any sucfr inconveniences. That is why they are all so wealthy.
 He gives us to understand that 40 per cent. of the automobiles 1flanufac- tured in 1917 were taken by farmers Preposterous-I hope the horrid crea lures know how to run them.
 Let us petition the president tc eliminate the farmers. Then perhaps Mr. Cummings would take up farm ing, grow wealthy. and people would get his produce just for the asking Perhaps. Anyway, we trust Mi. Cum mings might be more normal.
 Sincerely, g., A READER.

MT. Editor: can see that the farm CTS should all be sent to the battle front They would make good sol- diers, having fought against every kind of opposition all their lives. And men who know thing or two should be placed on farms Then we would have plenty to eatt?). Cheap, too! I guess, maybe!
 Men like MT. Cummings would get things going as they should on the farms. I need some help myself.

Russia within is starving and the pity of 1t is that this condition is not at all from lack of food but is simply 1 the result of rnisrnanage of trans l portatio1 and the utter lack of any senblaflce of orderly government. Robbery and bloodshed are the erder | of the day. The activities of the Bol- 1 sheviki against the more orderly | Ukrainfan government may force
 Germany to send troops to put a 1 duietus on the turmoil there if she is | to profit at all from her separate peace | with Ukraine. And so. though the bulk of her forces faces westward, all is
 not quiet behind and it is perhaps just this uncertainty that is delaying the expected German offensive in the west | The really encouraging view in the 1 war situation is that presented by Major Ian Hay Beith in his Norwich lecture a few months ago, viz: the | only way to settle the war is to kill Germans, and the place where they 1 get killed quickest is on the western | front, So the sooner they all get there
 the sooner will the war be over. And
 1t is after all erlinently fitting that nilftarisfn be shot to pieces rathel than starved out. In the latter case the Potsdam gang might say with . l shadow of truth that it was not the
 army that had failed and hence might want to try the same thing again but if the German army is beaten bs another military force, it will prove
 once and for all that the most won. derful military ever devised by au.
 toeracy is no match for the emergency forces put into the field by a work
 whose sense of justice has been out EasAd.

... DONAFEAIRPLANES
Suggestion Is Made BY Soldier
At the Front

-Four airplanes donated by the Ha-
waiian Islands, one from each of the
larger isles of the Territory, for ser
vice on the American battlefront, is
suggested by Sergeant A. Hunter, form
erly of Hawaii, and now at the front
with the Chinese Labor Corps.
1HHawaii should send an airplane
named after each island in the group,
to France" wrote Hunter in a re-
cent letter to a friend on the Big Is
land, and published in the Hilo
Tribune. He was formerly with the
Papaikou plantation on the Hamakua
coast.
Sergeant Hunter believes that with
Hawaii making so much money out of
sugar the "Hawaiian fleet of air
planes could easily be financed and
would be one of the most practical
aids which the Territory, as a whole,
could send over to France"
Hunter writes that the cold is ex-
treme in France, and the cold winds
seem almost to cut the men in two
"Oh, to be back again in God s coun-
try, in dear old Hawaii, and where
everything is so different" he adds

Protest Against Cutting Down
Develops Unusual Dangers
Which the Men Face

A protest against the proposed legis-
lation which has for its object the re,
duction in pay and rank of American
aviators, has been. sent by the Aero
Club of America to Secretary of War
Newton Baker, to Secretary Of the
Navy Josephus Daniels, to Senator
Chamberlain, chairman of the senate
committee on military affairs, to Maj.
Gen. George o. Squier, chief signal Off.
Ger, and to Howard Coffin, chairman of
the aircraft board.
Announcement was made several
weeks ago that the war department con-
templated cutting the salaries of Amer
icansaviators by eliminating the thirty
five percent increase given to officers
who are actually engaged in fight duty.
1t was asserted Mt that time that Mill
tary aviation was comparatively shfe
outside OF the training camps An ef-
fort was made to prove that the ratio
of deaths among the engineers, infan-
try and artillery was as great If mot
greater than that OF the flying Corps
1t was since learned, however, that the
casualties were based, in the signal
corps on the total number of mechan-
icians and hiers and not confined sole
~ to the personnel engaged in actual
flight. In training and in work on the
war front this brought the aeronautical
casualty record up nearly forty percent
higher than in any other branch of the
military service.
Since January total of fifty three
flying cadets have been killed at South
ern airdromes while eight other Ameri-
can fiers have been killed in training
camps abroad. This makes on an aver
age of one death a day in the Ameri-
can air service since the first of the
year.
The Aero Club of America, in its let
ter of protest to the government au,
thorities relating to reduction in the
aviator g pay, said:
"In letter of January 90 the Aero
Club of America pointed out the eco
nomic problems of the aviators, and tho
fact that whereas an aviator is sup
posed to be worth 1000 soldiers-and
most aviators are-and whereas the
needs Of an aviator are not yet defined,
it would be inadvisable to cut down the
pay of our aviators in the face Of the
enemy.
at is generally accepted by the al
lied strategists that it is necessary to
strike Germany through the air, sending
large bombing squadrons to bomb Ger,
many military and aerOnautic bases and
centers of transportation at night. This
will mean sending large number of av.
iators on extensive night bombing ex'
petitions far over German soil. Night
flying in squadron formation is very
dangerous; having to fly over GerpaL
soil is exceedingly dangerous and hav'
ing to fly low so as to hit the targets
and do real damage is extremely dan
gerous,
"Owing to the necessity of fastening
the training of our aviatOrs, the train
ing being given is much faster and more
intensive than il was heretofore. There
fore the casualties during the period
of preliminary and advanced training
are much greater"
