OUR AIRPLANE PROGRAM.

Admittedly the United States govern

ing out on its program to provide air.
planes for service in Europe In the first
place there was very regrettable delay.
Again there was undue waste in coming
to conclusion on the best engine and
the best plane to be put into combina-
tion, In the third place we have spent
too much time talking about the mis-
takes already made, thereby committing
another serious blunder, Now that the
congressional report on the aviation in.
quiry has been submitted to the proper
authority, with the admission that the
government is now ON the right track in
the building Of airplanes, it would be the
reasonable course for the nation to treat
the. pickering as ended and to combine its
whole efforts toward winning the war.
We have a fighting plane which is called
by experts as suitable for just the kind
of service for which it was designed,

1t would not be a remarkably clever
feat for German submarine to land
some of its crew on the long coastline
which the United States and Canada
have to protect. There are great stretches
of the coast which cannot be observed
constantly. So if the Germans actually

formation they are able to pick up it
would not be strange, albeit such per-
formance would appear spectacular, just
as the landing Of man or two on the
coast of Ireland year ago was consid-
cred to be, As for valuable results which
such performance would be able to ae-
complish in North America the effort
would be of no avail.

The success of the experiment of the
British with an airplane carrying nine
passengers is such as to warrant the be-
lief that the problem of the U-boat may
be partially solved in another direction
than heretofore considered. This par
ticular airplane flew from the interior Of
France to the interior of England in a
half hour, carrying, besides the passen-
gers, a considerable store of articles. One
machine of this type would be but mere
atom in attacking the big job of trans
portation between England and France
but thousand such planes would go far
toward tightening the load which the
boats are now compelled to carry in the
face Of great danger from submarines.
No doubt the British government will
turn part of its attention toward con
structing large number Of these air ma
chimes.

GENERAL. FOULLY SLAIN
 BY BOLSHEV|KI
(By Associated Pressl

PARIS, Jan. BOA vivid picture of the circumstances of the murder by infuriated Bolsheviki, of General Duk- hOnin, formerly cOmmander-in-chief of the Russian army, is given by the PetrOgrad correspondent of the Matfn, who apparently was an eyewitness of the tragedy. According to his story Ensign Krylenko. the BoIshevfkf com mander-in-chief, endeavored to save General DukhOnin from the mob but his efforts were unavaiIfng and the Russian commander was struck down by sailor and then run through with dozen bayonets.
 The murder took place afts.s~the BOlsheviki had captured the headquar- ters of the Russian army at MohiIoY and followed General Dukhonin's re- fusal to request the German army of ficials to enter into an armistice with the Bolsheyiki. The general was on board a train when the mob surround ed him. According to the Mathis cor. respondent the general appeared at the window of his railway carriage. "Throw up your epaulettes!" shrfek- ed the soldiers, "or we'll kill you," and they shouldered their rifles.
 Krylenko begged the general to give way to them, but Dukhonin refused
 "They can go to the deuce" he cried. Let them kill mel"
 A bullet whistled by, breaking the window, then a second. General Odint- zoff went up Dukhonin and gently took off his epalettes. They were thrown to the mob and were quickly torn to pieces and for a moment he thought 1 he was saved. Then a handful of sail ors jumped into the carriage. They seized Dukhonin by the shoulders and ] pushed him to the end of the coach and then on to the platform. Krylenko ran after them. The generals appear. ance caused a great uproar.
 Kill him right out!" they cried 'Kerensky and Korniloff got off. Men
 like him must be killed at once"
 AS the mob pushed closer and closer upon the general, Krylenko stormed and shouted, but no one took any no tice. With a single blow the general was struck down by a tall sailor from , the rebel cruiser Aurora Dukhonir l got on his feet again once, his face . streaming with blood. He tried tc speak but a dozen bayonets were run | through him, and then blows and kicks
 were rained upon his body
 The soldiers fought for his clothing tearing it from him. The corpse, strip ped bare, was set up against a railway carriage and the mob, laughed like madmen, started a gruesome game Sailors, Red Guards, and soldiers made
 snow and mud balls and flung them at the generals head.
 II could no longer look on," writes the Mathis correspondent, "and dash ed back into the carriage, where , found Krylenko sitting in a corner, his face in his hands. When he lifted his head I saw he was pale as death. Look at them,' he said in whisper. There's
 no holding them in now. and all the
 rest of us must come to the same
 end"
