Measured Up
To Situation

The Standard was then little one~horse
affair, but it measured up to the situation
in such manner that of all the aircrafters
it the only one to deliver according to
schedule. Among the other going Ameri-
can makers of motors who should have been
called on to produce their own types of
engines for training plants were the Stur-
divant, Thomas, Morse, Wright-Martin
Duesenberg and Aero Marine companies.
More recently the Wright Martin people
have been commissioned to build Hispano-
Suizas, which they have been making for
foreign account for two years. These mo-
tors are now being used for advanced train.
ing purposes, but if we change our present
plan and cease to leave to our allies the
making of the smaller fighting engines and
planes we can turn them to good account
at the front. The same is true Of the
Gnomc and LIE Rhone-Lorraine, both French
rotary types, the former being built by the
General Vehicle Company and the latter by
the Westinghouse. The Bugati, high
powered Italian motor is under production
by the Dusenberg company 1t is intended
for special purpose.
The fact that the Signal Corps is now
going in so strongly for the Hispano-Suiza
motor is proof that in the future we do not
intend to rely to any great extent upon the
Allies for any part of our aircraft pro-
gramme. 1t Is understood that some thou
sands of the Hispano- Suizas have been
ordered from the Wright-Martin Company,
some being 150-horsepower, some 1so high
compression-both eght-cyinder - and
some OF the 3oO-horsepower twelve-cylinder
type.

Finland Takes Her Biz

it didn't take Finland long to become
Germanzed. AS small partner in the
huge enterprise Of looting Russia she is
readily adopting her big partners
rough-and-ready methods.
BY d treaty with the complacent
Lenine government Finland obtained a
few weeks ago rectification of her
northern boundaries Russia ceded her
stretch Of territory along the old
Russo-Norwegian border line, giving her
an access across the Kola peninsula to
the Arctic Ocean. 1t was an easy bar
gain on Finland's part. Too easy, in
fact, for it at once aroused Finnish sus-
picions that the demands she made on
henine were Enthusiastically moderate
Why shouldn't Finland have taken more
of Russia while the taking was good?
Within month the Firms were show
ing signs of remorse. Berlin smiled at
their innocence. Something had to be
done at once to reestablsh their credit
as apt imitators of Germanys land
piracy methods. There was Carelia. 1t
was the ancient name of region long
ago Incorporated partly into Finland and
partly into Russia. 1t had passed off the
maps as political entity So had Lithu-
ania. But the Germans, imbued with
zeal for the sacred principle of the 'self-
determination" of races and peoples, had
created new Lithuania and attached it
as dependency to the German Empire.
Why shouldn't the Films create new
Carelia and then annex it? Especially
since the Murmansk railroad, from
Petrograd to the ice-free Arctic, runs
for three-quarters of its length through
Carelian territory.
Finland some time ago gave a pledge
to the Allied powers that she would ab
stain from any action against the Muir
mansk railroad" But that was back in
April. Now the Finnish Minister in
Stockholm announces that his govern
ment lis unable to see the justice Of
placing hindrances in the way of the
realization of the efforts of the Carelians
to unite themselves with their brother
folk in free Finland
"Brother-folk" is phrase which is
anathema in Germany and Austria Hun
gary. The Rumanians have brother-folk
i'll Pennsylvania and the Bukovina. The
Italians have brother-folk in Trent. The
Serbs have brother-folk in Croatia, Sla--
vonia and Bosnia. The Poles have
brother-folk in East and West Prussia.
Aspirations for reunions of this sort in
German and Austrian territory are re-
pressed with military rigor. But in
Russian territory they are harmless and
laudable.
Finland has therefore given notice
that she is going into Carelia to liberate
the Carelians. And, since Lenine will
not fight to keep any territory Russian,
he will probably elect to say to the
Carelian brother-folk, "Go in peace!"
The hardest-worked department of the
Moscow government is the official man
department. Petrograd, now an isolated
outpost, is still on its charts. But how
long will it remain there? And how long
will Archangel remain?

"When do get planes 7" asked the gen
eral of signal corps commission last
August.
"They will begin to drbble over to you in
July next year," was the answer. No 22,-

"Then is when 1 begin TO fight was
Pershings terse comment. WHAT'S the
matter with having sopne made here!"
eco as far as you like" was the SUBJ
stance of the reply
Pershing went as far as $4,000 motors and
5000 planes. To help the airplane manu-
facturers of England, France and Italy,
chiefly of the last two, to fill this order
the Signal Corps sent over thousands of
skilled mechanics and $18,O00000 worth OF
materials and parts.
Didn't Wait for
Liberty Motor
So, you see, we didn't wait to get into
don't know how many squadrons of Ameri
can airmen Pershing now has fighting with
foreign made machines, but ! understand
that many weeks ago more than 1900 planes
were at his disposal, even though the Allies
aircrafters miscalculated on their produc-
tion schedules about as badly as the home
talent.
The Liberty motor, being the premier
American contribution to Allied warfare of
the air in 1918, has naturally spread all
over the spotlight, but while the Liberty
has been getting started American manu-
facturers have turned out 5000 motors for
our training planes we'll as a goodly
number for the Allies besides.
These training motors are Curtiss and
Hall-Scott, tho former going with the Cur
tiss plane and the latter with the Standard,
but contracts for their production were let
to number of other companies. Although
here, too, there was some delay in getting
away and consequent delay in training avia-
tors, both the army and navy have been
swamped with elementary training planes
for three months.
Charge this initial delay to tumble Of
the Aircraft Board. 1t should have used
every available American flying motor,
plane type and going plant for training.
Instead, it decided at first to use only tho
Curtiss type of each. The Standard Air
craft Corporation, then of Plainfield and
now of Elizabeth, N. j., put up such pow
erful argument against this restriction Of
the sources of supply that its plane and
Che Hall-Scott motor were finally included

The correspondent asked what
would be the attitude of the Bolshe-
wiki in case of actual war, with regard
to help from the allies. NJ Radek
replied:
we do not desire their help. Our
strength lies in our weakness, and if
we accepted help from the allies the
significance of our position would be
destroyed The weaker we are the
stronger we are The Germans can
drive us back, but what good would
it do them?
The country behind the front has
been stripped bare. There is not

The Germans will not wish millions
