THE UNIVERSAL AIRPLANE.

Today everybody wants to take joy ride in
the air, or says he does. There is general
agreement that going up is as safe as standing
on terra firma, but opportunity does not knock
at everybody's door. Some people may be secret
" glad it doesn't However, the fashion is not
to be afraid of arplanes. So when one reads
that on Thanksgiving Day nine men-the ladies
still have qualms-had turkey dinner on board
a higb-powered airplane $500 feet above the
ancient city of Elizabeth, New Jersey, there is
no establishment at all, says the New YORK
Times.
It would be reactionary not to see all the world
taking to the air. The automobile may become
as obsolete as the solid-tire high-wheel bicycle.
There viii be "1ivvers" aloft. Flying need not

ccssity of business? Fortunately the air IS
wide. Even So there viii be traffic policemen up
there. on aerial crossroads and popular thor
ouchfares. 1t may be assumed that anything
done in or with Oh automobile now viii be done
in and with flying machine before the world is
much older. S.-epticism withers in the prospect
How can there be any doubt when Major NJ. J.
Boots and Lieutenant Elmer J. Spencer, United
States army aviators, make continuous flight
from Mount Clemens, Michigan, to Yonkers, 700
miles, in four hours and fifty minues when Lieu
tenant John E. Davis, United States Air Service
flies all the way from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Great Lakes in sixty-four hours without me-
chanic; when Lieutenant William T. Campbell
loops the loop 155 consecutive times, and is none
the worse for his gyrations; when the Rev. John
Moran flies about the front in France to say
mass; when Captain Gabrielle d'Annunzio scars
aloft at 8 a. m. at Turin, crosses the Alps, and
comes down at Chalons at noon, 200 miles in
three hours?

BANKRUPT GERMANY.

Germans, the Allies agree, must pay inden-
nifty for their crimes, but how Germany shall
pay remains burning question. Albeit our pub
lie men seem hesitant to discuss this subject,
certain points stand out clearly; other points
are shrouded in obscurity and must be approach
ed with the reserve appropriate to prophecy
Whatever sums the German people surrender
as partial compensation for the ravages of Ger
man armies must be paid out of future earnings,
for the excellent reason that they are not col
lectible from the proceeds of past toll. Germany
squandered in war practically everything spend
able which the Government could seize and
markets therefore she possesses at the moment
no considerable reserves of bullion manufacture
ed goods, or materials in process. Her once
huge gold hoard has leaked away through neu-
trail sieves its dregs no longer circulate, cheap
money having driven out good when confidence
went overheard and printing presses were put
to work flooding the country with paper cur
rency. Bonds of her former allies accepted in
return for money and materials, must be count
ed worthless. Germany is stripped also of cop
per, silver rubber, cotton, WOOL and silk. Stocks
of food, coal, iron, steel are far below the do
nestle demands of industrial reconstruction.
For time, when the world was still under the
spell of the superman idea, it was thought Ger
many might have heavy stocks of manufactured
goods on hand with which to flood the world
at peace Inconsderable stocks of minor arti
ces may be found, but generally speaking, Ger
many must have consumed the manufactured
goods on hand at the outbreak of the war, and
no conceivable mobilization of labor power could
enable her to build up reserves of goods while
her best workers were in the fighting line. Con
sequently, whatever Germany pays must be de-

WAR CASUALTIES.

The recorded casualties suffered by Amerl-
cans in all their wars, from the War of INDIE
pendence up to the signing of the armistice with
Germany in the present war, have reached a
total of about 1890, 900 men, of whom approx
imately $4,000 were killed, died Of wounds, or
disease, met death from other causes. The
remainder represent the total Of recorded wound-
ed in the various wars in which the United States
has engaged. The figures for the revolution, as
well as for more than 100 little wars, which are
estimated to total in killed, dead of wounds or
disease, missing, wounded, and casualties due to
other causes about 100000 are not matters of
record. No records Of any kind survived the rev.
olution which an accurate estimate of the
casualties suffered by the army under Washing
ton could be accurately tabulated. Adding the
probably revolution casualties to the recorded
casualties, the total of American casualties in
all the wars fought by the United States is APP
Fproximately 100000 of whom 7OO, 900 lost their
lives in battle or under conditions due to war.
The estimated Confederate casualties are in
Guided in the above totals.
The average man, if asked how many wars,
major as well as minor, the United States has
engaged in since the winning of indepedece from
Great Britain, would probably answer "about
ten or twelve" That would be very nearly cor
rect SO far as the big and middlesized ware are
concerned, but far from accurate when all the
little wars are taken into consideration The
total number officially recorded in Washington
is "11O wars, campaigns, expeditions, events,
&C."
The war in which the heaviest casualties were
suffered was, of course, that between the States,
when the deaths from all causes o nthe two sides
totaled about $4,000. Of this total about $780,
600 were Union men and the rest Confederates
who fell in battle or died from wounds or disease.
The Union lost 10000 men killed in battle or
dead from wounds, the Confederacy about 95,-
900. The huge remaining total Of deaths was
due almost entirely to disease, owing to the i'm
perfect sanitary and medical arms of the two
services. In the great European war, among
more than 100000 Americans who crossed the
Atlantic to fight against Germany, the total
deaths due to disease less than Is 900; less
than three-quarters of per cent, as compared
with the civil war record of $50 per cent

CONSTITUTION UpHoLDs WILSON.

The critics of President Wilson have had
much to say about the Constitution, when Civ
ing reasons why ne should not leave the United
States to attend the peace conference in Europe.
In quoting the Constitution, the following
clauses seem to have been overlooked:
Article H., Section 2. The President shall be
Commander in Chief of the army and navy of
the United States, and of the militia of the sew
eral States when called into the actual service of
the United States. =
He shall have power, by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, to make treaties s.
Commander in Chief cannot stop his activ-
tiles simply because armistice has been de-
clared; he must see that his work as Command
er in Chief is carried to proper conclusion
1t may be possible to do this by sending Com
missioners to peace conference. 1t may also
be possible that his personal presence is neces-
sary to accomplish the purpose.
Marshal Foch, the Commander in Chief of the
forces in the field, did not think it wise to send
substitute, but attended personally at the arm
lstlce meeting. So Mr. Wilson feels that his
personal presence is required in the proper per-
formance of his duties as Commander in Chief

PRESIDENT ]. c. BROWN
-. MAKES A fine. ADDRESS
Continued from page one)

announced his topic as "The Relation
of the Schools to the War" and said
as a preface that the schools were
recognizing that they must help in
every way and were so doing that,
eft is necessary that food and other
material necessary to the prosecution
of the war be augmented, but it is
also necessary that the intelligence and
skill of our children be augmented"
He reviewedthe great reconstruction
that is to come after the war and
showed how we must be prepared for
it. Using England and France as an
example, DR.. Brown, pointed out the
mistake the United States would
make if the schools were in any way
suppressed during the war. These
countries, he asserted, have seen their
mistake and the past year England
had appropriated three times as much
for her schools as at any other time
during her history; France two and
orie-half times as much.
The theme on which DR.. Brown really
based his main argument for the
schools was from Tennyson, "New
occasions bring new duties and time
makes ancient good uncouth." He
rehearsed school activities since the
year 1926 and in so doing quoted the
man who said that education has made
more progress in the last 20 years
than in 40 years previously. Early
schools consisted Of one room; the
school master was often ignorant, it
frequently being the case that the law
required them to teach because they
had no funds; the children supplied
their own frewood and if they failed
to bring the allotted supply were
sentenced to cold corner of the
room; girls were seldom allowed to
attend school long; education consist
ed of reading, writing and religion,
mostly religion.
Any advance, the speaker declared,
came from the demands made by those
routside. It is thus that the schools
have progressed, "new occasions
bringing new duties" which made old
and hard fast rules thing forgotten.
The schools of the olden days were
based on memory, not on thought
power. Conditions are reversed now.
Things are advancing so much that
the methods of few years back are
out of date. "No one knows" he said,
"when or how the war is going to end,
but all men agree that whenever and
however it is there is to be a recon
struction, the like of which the world
has never known" His argument
contained that we must be prepared
for this and must educate the child
rem with view to this; that we must
hang no weights to them.
DIR. Browdn conclued his talk with
the prophecy that within the next five
years, the school year, the school
week and the school day would be
heightened, all on account of the "new
occasions" which are constantly arts
ing. He said that his talk might not
have seemed to be patriotic, but was,
because the facts expressed were so
essential to the future of the country.
He left his audience with something
that will occupy their thoughts for
some time.
Mr.. Strebel, who acted as chair
man, gave short talk on War Saw,
ings Stamps and announced meeting

clothing is needed that cannot be
