on any motor running at full speed
continually.
Once in while some new cadet,
trying to make a landing, smashes q
landing gear or goes over on his nose
or something like that but that is all
due to the inefficiency of the pilot and
is to be expected of men learning to
fly.
Yesterday on the First Sudo' field
there were four planes down on
forced landings all at the same time.
A forced landing is usually due to
the motor going bad or something like
that, but all you have to do is to pick
cut some good corn field or cotton
patch and land-fix. up and go ahead
The gliding angle of these Curtis
planes is to 1, so if you are one mile
up in the air you can glide with the
motor off eight miles, which adds all
the more to your safety in case of a
forced landing.

London, June 6.-Real diamonds,
artificially made, were exhibited in
connection with the annual May lee
ture before the British Institute of
Medals The speaker, Sir Charles A.
Parsons who is widely known for
his work in developing the turbine
engine, told of experiments which
showed that diamonds exist in iron
The diamonds displayed were few
and small, and it was stated that they
were produced at enormous cost.
Only the resources of a great engine
ering works made the experiments
possible. However, the lecturer be-
lieved that with the advance of chem
istry and electrical engineering, it
might some day be cheaper to make
diamonds than dig them.
A method of making diamonds of
commercial size and quantity was
suggested by Sir Charles His plan
was to submit a large mass of iron,
alloyed with other elements, to heat.
After the molten metal had set, but
when still at temperature perme.
able to gas, it should be subjected to
carbon monoxide at a pressure of
about 1000 atmospheres. Under this
process, he believed, segregations
forming into diamonds might take
place slowly within the mass.
One source of diamonds might be
attributed, he said, to prehistoric
falls of meteors.

ticipation in the war in the fight
against German submarines and in
the ship-building program were be-
Titled by Vice Admiral Won Capelle,
German Minister of the Navy in his
speech in the Reichstag a few weeks
ago, as reported by German newspa-
pers received here.
"The military help of America in
the first year Of the war was very
little regarding troops and airplanes,"
declared Won Capelle. "The expecta-
ton of our enemies has been greatly
disappointed. If America later
wants to maintain half million
troops in France it will need per-
manently a freight space Tin steam
ships) of about 100000 tons which
again would be deprecated from the
service of supplying her allies
According to American and Brit.
ish statements, the participation Of
such larg earmy is no longer in
volved in this campaign.
"In order to carry out the gigan-
tic American program of shipping
construction, the ship-yards must
first be built. In 1917 America, fol-
lowing all her huge promises, built
100000 gross tons of sea-going ships.
The large merchant fleet which Am
erica has ordered is not being built
for the war but in order to take the
place of England as the worlds ship
per after the war when the ships will
have been completed"
Discussing the economic situation
created by Americas entrance into
the war Won Capelle pointed out that
the United States was the most i'm.
portant source of supplies for the
Entente nations but, he added
Owing to the tremendous armament
program of President Wilson, such
economic difficulties have developed
that America, the land of export
must now begin to ration herself in
stead, as had been hoped, to aid the
Eentente nations in increasing meas
ures. All in all, it can be said that
the economic difficulties of our en-
emies have been increased by Am
erica's entrance into the war.
In reply to charges that the Ger
man Summarized building program was
not progressing as rapidly as II
should, Won Capelle admitted thai
Germany's enemies had attained Ger
tain successes in their defensive
measures against the U-boats. "But"
he added, they have at no time af
way decisivelyn etaoinshrdluetainf
fected the U-boat warfare in any
way decisively and, according to fore
sight will nit be able to do so in the
future.
/ THE American U.boat chasers over
which much fuss has been made. are
a failure.
THE convoy system which gives
the ships a certain protection on the
othe rhand has great disadvantages
There is not a day in which one OF
several ships are not shot out o.

tenn.
"The spirit of voluntary service
which at the beginning of the war
revealed itself in it's fairest aspect
has now disappeared" says the arti-
Gle. Everywhere we hear lamenta-
lions over the increasing distaste
shown for military service"
Scholastic standards in the public
school have fallen so low, it is said
that promotions no longer represent
any definite standard Of accomplish
ment." Scholastic efficiency has suf-
fered considerably because pupils
subsisting on war diets for long pc
RODS are found to be generally under

Juvenile delinquency has spread

violent crimes committed by youths

Thus" concludes the article
dark shadows are falling over the
brilliant picture of 1914. Every dis
ciplinary influence, every effort O.
the still fundamentally sound German
nation must be exerted to oppose thi!
tendency, and to lead the children
back to the path of rectitude.'
