AERIAL MAIL SERVICE

A new chapter was written in the
history CT the postal service yester-
day When the new sirplane mail serv-
ice was inaugurated between New
York. Philadelphia and Washington.
Starting from New York promptly
at 1870 o'clock yesterday morning
Lieut. Torrey Webb and Lieut.. j. c.
Edgerton, former Washington man,
successfully piloted their machines
over the course and landed at the avia-
ton field in Potomac Park.
We live in wonderful age, when
the weird stories Of the Arabian
Nights entertainments and the wild
descriptions Of adventure portrayed
in books in Don Quixote's library have
become actual facts :1en are ravi-
eating the heavens and establishing
literal air lines for mail service. With
in the next few years aerial passenger
service wilf doubtless be in vogue.

NEARLY ALL PASS TEST

Henry Rood writes as follows in the
Century:
"Never in all history has an army
been organized and handled as the Ma
tional Army of the United States. For
instance, one of the ablest British Of
ficers told me. after a considerable So
journ at one of the environments, that
nothing approaching it for thorough
organization, housing etc, is known at
any of the great environments Of the
British army.
Certain it is that our men generally
are better cared for than any others
recorded in military annals. And the
raw material gathered in the canton
ments, the men themselves selected
for the National Army effectually dis
prove the fears some profess to have
held that as type American manhood
had deteriorated during the last gen.
Grafton or so.
provost Marshal General Crowder
is authority for the statement that Of
all the men called to the colors last
summer by registration and draft, only
20 per cent were rejected for physical
disability, and a considerable proper
ton were refused admittance to the
National Army because of minor dis
ability, such as weakened arches or
some slight visual or dental defect, to
which little attention is paid in civil
life, but which units man for the
terrific strain of modern warfare. Let
it he remembered that, counting eX-
illusions from such causes, four men
out of every five or the six hundred
or seven hundred thousand called TO
the National Army came up to rigid
physical requirements. and were per-
mitted to wear khaki.

OUTRAGED WoMANHOOD

Whoever else may be disposed to
give up, it is comfort to know that
the women of the allied countries are
irreconcilable and uncompromising,
says the Baltimore Sun. Womanhood
everywhere has special account to
settle with the Huns. The Prussian
philosophy and system have regarded
woman largely as a burden-bearer.
She occupied a humiliating position in
peace even in her own country. NO
nation with any sense OF chlvalry OF
respect for woman as such could have
been guilty of the monstrous crimes
which German soldiers have commit
ted and which Germany has sanctioned
in France and Belgium. If Prussian-
ism. succeeds, woman will continue in
practical serfdom wherever it is domi-
nant. Woman, therefore, must re.
main till the end the sworn enemy OF
this tyrant, not only because she has
been the chief victim in this war, but
because there is no hope for her sex,
except in the complete overthrow of
the spirit which would keep her en-
shaved.
This invincible determination is lie"
Elected in the refusal of Queen Marie
of Roumania to accept the German
peace to which the king and the men
Of Roumania have reluctantly submit
ted. They have passed under the yoke,
seeing no other way. But the Queen
is still at war. She will fight on. She
would rather be free peasant than
subject queen. "It is only woman's
hope" she says, "buc I cannot aban-
don it"
The rock of outraged womanhood is
the rock on which Prussianism IS
bound to be wrecked, if there were no
other in it's way. There can be no
peace till women give the word, and
they will not give the word while the
monstrous enemy Of womanhood sur

Won CAPELLE DREAM

Of course Admiral Won Capelle is
doing his best to cheer up the German
Reichstag, but he has to suppress the
important facts and invent substitutes
for them in order to make even a
plausible showing for the submarines.
AS cotemporary says, no matter
how much destruction they work,
these craft have failed utterly to do
Inc two things they were assigned to.
They We're 20 starve England into sub
mission before the harvest Of 191T;
Won Capelle's department guaranteed
the su5iugation Of England in six
months. It is perfectly evident that
if they could not starve England be-
fore the harvest Of last year they
never could, because good many sub
marines are destroyed and because q
great mary ships are built to take the
place of the victims. Even If the rate
Of destruction exceeds the rate of con
struction how many years would it
take 20 reduce the worlds merchant
marine to q point at which Great Bri-
tain would be starved? Last year a
German arithmetic man calculated
thnt al the allied and neutral ship
ping would be sunk in a little less than
five years But the German state
ncnts Of sinkings are palpsbly ;ntiat-

Steamer Turned Over To Government
and Three Records Broken

Philadelphia, May 16.-snother ship
building record was made yesterday
when the collier Tuckahoe was turned
over to the United States Government
by the New York Shupbuilding Com
pany OF Camden, N. j., 81 days after
the vessels keel was laid down.
The finishing touch was added to
the Tuckahoe at the stroke of mid
night and this morning the shipbuild-
ers gave the boat to the Government
representatives for it's trial trip. A
crew was placed on board shortly be-
fore noon.
On Sunday, May 5, the first worid's
record was established by the Tucka-
hoes builders when the boat was
launched in 81 days. The 10 days
since then were employed in complet-
ing the ship, establishing two more
records-the time between launching
and completion, and the total time of
construction. These three new marks
give the prize donated by Charles NJ.
Schwab, Djrector-General of Ship
building. to the men who constructed
the Tuckahoe. The nearest previous
record wah 55 days, made in Seattle.
Absolute secrecy is being maintain
ed as to the details of the trial trip
this afternoon.

GERMAN CHARACTER

How decp-seated has been the de-
sire for this war Of conquest IN the
mind of all Germans both before and
during it's frightful course is not only
shown by the careful planning there
for disclosed in the admissions OF
former Ambassador Count Lichnow-
sky and Minister Won Jagow, but in
the public utterances of the leading
men in German politics time and again
during it's checkered course. The
whole German people has been led
and nourished on the idea of advantage
by military ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and have
become thoroughly imbued with the
qrossest form Of materialism, cutting
entirely loose from all Christian and
human considerations, as taught and
practised in the nations which claim
to be civilized.
AS the Charlottesville Progress says,
materialism was the Distinguishing
mari, of the nations of the ancient
wnrld and it was not until Christi
anity was introduced in the paimy
DAYS of Rome that mankind learned
that there was difference between
meum and tuum, that true morality
obligated one to respect.
The benighted heatbens of the MD
die ages, the Islamites, followed the
same course as the Romans before
them, taking where they could, and
holding by the force of the sword,
immortality being represented to their
.sensuous natures as the reward OF
conquest ir the name of the Prophet,
and consisting Of 'the sparkle of fe-
male eyes, the handkerchief Of green
silk, and the cap Of precious stones"
And it has remained for the leu
tonic peoples of all the protesting
Christians of history to initiate the
sordid example and baroarous aspira-
tons. of these savage conquerors of
old.
The Washington Herald directs at
tention to the fact that this is, by no
means, the first time that nation has
set out to dominate the world. It is
not the first time that the issue i;as
lain between civilization and barbar-
ism, or between autocracy and democ-
racy.
in every war, throughout the TWEEN
ty-fve centuries past, the man or ma
ton bent upon wor!d-dominion has
finally been licked. In the present
test the world is bigger than ever be
fore, especially us to man determine
ton for freedom and democracy. And
William Hohenzollern will not break
the record.

Admiralty Restrictions in North Sea
ys Now in Effect.

London, May 16.-Asked in the
house of commons yesterday by Rob-
ert P. Houston, a Liverpool shopown-
er, for information "as to our success
full operations in capturing enemy
submarines around the coast during
the past three weeks" Thomas J. Mac
Namara, financial secretary of the
admiralty, made this reply,
"On the whole the general trend of
the submarine warfare has progressed
quite satisfactorily since the first of
January.
."News from neutral countries and
the increased boastfulness and public
disclaimers of the enemy are proof
of our recent success, but the admiral
ty is averse to stating results, good or
bad, of a short period.
"The total number of British steam
ers attacked by submarines and which
escaped uninjured from January 1 to
April 80 was 172."
The British admiralty restrictions
on navigation in the northern part of
the North Sea in consequence of the
laying of a great mine field for the
purpose of foiling submarines, became
operative today and hereafter all ship
ping in that area must comply with
stringent regulations or ignore them
at their own peril.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1918-05-16

marine commander has explained in
print that the danger of attacking
conveyed ships issso great that the
submarines cannot be expected to
attack any vessels except unconyoyed
merchant vessels. But 80 per cent OF
the merchant steamers are conveyed,
and of course, all the transports are,
and this accounts for the decreasing
damage inflicted by the submarines.
They are reduced for victims to -oc'
casional solitary steamers or sailing
vessels.

The selection gave substance to the
Impression that the President is will
ing and anxious to have any charges
against the administration which is
founded on facts. Other important
developments reveal that he is equally
determined to prevent politics from
playing any part in the inquiries.
In letter to Senator Martin, ma
jority leader, the President called
upon the supporters of the admins
tration in Congress to defeat the
Chamberlain measure for general
investigation of the conduct Of the
war: The fight is still on, as SUD-

tor Chamberlain calls for an investi-
cation of ordnance as well as aircraft

How T1apshootsrs Are Helping Un

This editorial. from the Pittsburgh

rightly named the patriotic sport:
Another truly American idea
which is saving many lives in the
front lines is the so-called buck
shot squads These squads are made
up Of crack trapshooters. Instead OF
directing their efforts on clay
pigeons. they defect the hand gren-
AIDES which the Germans hurl toward
their trenches. The force Of a full
charge of buckshot on a Mills bomb,
for instance, is to make it fall many
yards short of the object for which
it, was intended. 1t explodes, Of
course. but outside the trench. and
the steel particles fly harmlessly
over the heads of the men. Thus a
popular American sport has been d.
rected toward winning the war"
