compIish That, Says Repre-
sentative Lewis.

Tho Post ONCE Department, II given

put q phone in every homo in the city,
former Representative David ]. Lewis
of Maryland. now a member Of the
tariff commission, told the members
of the Connecticut Avenue Citizens
Association at meeting in the Army
and Navy Preparatory School last
night.
He outlined a plan under which the
department could give one-party
lines for s24 with 1900 calls year.
and two-party lines for $12 with 500
calls year. If there were people who
felt that they could not afford to pay
that much, Mr.. Lewis said, the Post
Office Department could put phones
in their homes free and charge them
two cents straight for every call.
For Government Ownership.
Mr.. Lewis argued for government
he said, it is even a more important
agency Of communication than either
the letter or the parcel, which the
government controls. A service that
affects all people should be made
available for all people, Mr.. Lewis
commended.
Under the rural delivery system.
said Mr.. Lewis, letter can be mailed
to any corner Of the United States
and telephone service, he argued,
should be made just as universal.
Mr.. Lewis exhibited an automatic
telephone to the audience, showed
them how it operated and explained
savings which he said the government
could make in running the telephone
and telegraph business of the nation
by the elimination Of manual opera
tors and the saving in physical prop
erty. which would result from using
the same wires for conducting the
telephone and telegraph business of
the nation.

LIFE IN A TANK. BY Richard

Corps. With Illustrations Boston:
Houghton Miffiin Company.
The stubborn humor with which the
war tank annihilates every obstacle
foolish enough to get in it's way was
demonstrated by the Britannia, on
her liberty loan tour here, when she
plowed through houses, dived into
gullies and rode over barricades to
show what war tank could do. The
author commanded the Brittania on
her American visit, and having been
before that a captain in q tank corps
at Arras and at Ypres, Is qualified.
both by experience and by clever
Gift for storytelling, to give to war
literature its first account of life in
tank to be written by a tank COM
mander. In a final chapter on "a
Philosophy Of War" the writer sums
up it's spiritual advantages: take the
case Of him who. before the war, was
either working in factory. who was
clerk in a business house or who was
nothing at all beyond the veriest
loafer and bar lounger. Whether
worthless or worthy, the private gain
and comfort for himself and his was
the object of his existence. He be-
comes a soldier and that act alone is
a conversion-for a shilling day he
sells to his country his life, his
health. his pleasures and his hopes for
the future. To make good measure he
throws TN cheerfulness. devotion, PHI

Kindness. Since the thirty pieces Of

Army and Navy News

- PECIAL orders recently issued
from the office of the adjutant
general making changes in the
senior officers of the division of
military aeronautics indicate that the
new policy on the part of Maj. Gen.
Kenly In handling the personnel OF his
division has begun In earnest. 1t Is
apparent that non-hying officers are be-
ing relieved Of commands on the flying
fields and officers who are fiers are be-
Ing placed In charge. Gen. Kenly is Of
the opinion that one who Is inexpe-
rienced in flying is not able fully to I'M
derstand the best method of handling
men who are learning to fly or who are
flying against an enemy strong In the
handling of airplanes. and 1t is his pur-
pose as far as he can to have every Off
Ger in his corps qualified in the flying
schools.
The chief Of military aeronautics is
himself an experienced flier, with many
hours in the air to his credit, and his
recent inspection tour of the flying fields
gave him fine opportunity to study
conditions which he recognized that he
might have failed to understand If he
had not been familiar with the practice
as we'll as the theory of flying. Gen.
Kenly Is gratified over the action of the
British government in sending to this
country to cooperate with him in
aviation and production Brig. Gen.
Guy Livingstone, who is deputy mar
shall general Of personnel in the royal
air service and who is regarded as
one Of the authorities on all features
of aviation and aircraft Gen. Living
stone will remain in this country in

Of military aeronautics the benefit of
his experience in aid Of the develop
ment of our new plans for all aircraft
matters. 1t is understood that when
his present inspection trip is COM
pleted he will be located III offices in
the same building with Gen. Kenly.
