This seemingly final medium, con-

American Wright Brothers, will play
part so stupendous during the
coming months that it is almost inn
possible to estimate it's Importance.
Most of the serious difficulties, de-
clares the Air Board head, are he
hind us. The basic riddles have
beer solved. The organization has
been put to work and has produced
both men and materials in sufficient
measures to- prove itself. One hun
dred thousand American aviation
men, including ten thousand filters
is the program for this year.
In the eight years previous to
sending the American expedition
into Mexico, less than a million dol
lars had been appropriated for fly
ing. Fifty-nine machines had been
ordered, and only 81 had been de-
livcred.
The degree of efficiency reached
is shown from these figures: For
the calendar year of 1916 Army
fliers made ten thousand ascents,
totaling 4.700 hours in the air and
$4,000 miles, with but one fatality.
Public imagination, though stimu-
lated as to the value of the airplane
in warfare, has never been equally
stimulated as to the romance Of
their production in industry. It has
too often been felt, as was actually
state dby one disappointed manufac-
turcr, that you could simply cut an
airpluno out of a tree in O few
weeks time for a few hundred dol

BELIEVE EXPERT

WATER PLANTS
Commissioners Favor Sugges-
ton TO Put Practical Man
in Charge of Department

City commissioners and other Off
cials commended the editorial sug-
gestion in last evenings Telegraph
that a practical man be placed in
charge of the entire water depart
ment as an optrating head, to super
wise work at the pumping station, fill
ter plant and reservoir pumping sta
ton.
Commissioner Morgenthaler, who is
now superintendent of the depart
ment of public safety, which includes
the water department, said he was
heartily in favor with such a plan.
The short time l have been in office
has convinced me that the superin-
tendent of public safety should have
an assistant as superintendent of the
water department. The water depart
ment is the most important and vital
IN the city and gets the least atten-
tion. All the men at the various
plans know their work. but there
should be an experienced man to take
charge of the entire water works.
1t would require all of his time to do
this"
Gross RavOrs Plan
Commissioner Gross also favored
the plan and sal dthat other depart
ments had experienced persons in
charge who reported to the commits
sioners who had charge over them.
Other city officials also said they be-
lieved the water department should be
under the supervision of an expert
enced person who could report daily
to the superintendent of public safety.
Commissioner Morgenthaler said to
Gay that he had received a commune
cation from a New Jersey manufac-
turing firm that it had an electrical
pump which could be delivered at
Cnce and that n representative in
Pittsburgh had been notified to locate
a motor.
An engineer in the employ of f. H

ferred with the engineers in charge

STATE MUST KILL
OFF ITS BAD ELK
Eleven Animals Which Raided
Farms Are TO Be Shot;
Slackers to Be Arrested


The State Game Commission to-
day authorized the killing of a herd
OF eleven elk which have been raid
ing farms in Blair county and which
the game wardens have been unable
to drive back to their mountain
homes. The elk are part of the 200
head of such animals owned by the
state and which were put out some
years ago to propagate and are pro-
tected until 1921. Several weeks ago
they began making trouble on farms
and efforts to round them up proved
futile. The killing will be done by
game wardens under direction of
officers and the animals will be
butchered and the meat sent to hos
pitals.
Adjutant General Bcary, who re-
turned to the Capitol to-day from
Washington where he conferred with
officers regarding the draft, said that
slackers who failed to obey orders
to go to camp would be summarily
rounded up. He said that efforts
were now being made to obtain
names of such persons. General
Beary estimated that approximately
$4,000 young men in Pennsylvania
had become twenty-one since June

jury, and it Is of the utmost conse-
quence to the government itself that
all great financial operations shoula
be stabalized and co-ordinated with
the financial operations of the gov
ernment. No borrowing should run
athwart the borrowings of the feder-
al treasury and no fundamental in
dustrial values should anywhere be
unnecessarily impaired. In the hands

tors in the country, as well as in ma

The Secretary of War and l easily
agreed that, in view of the many
complex interests which must be
safeguarded and harmonized, as well
as because of his exceptional expert
ence and ability in this new field OF
governmental action, the Hon. Will
liam G. McAdoo was the right man
to assume direct administrative con-

our request he consented to assume
the duties of organizer and director

He has assumed those duties and his
work is in active progress.
1t is probably too much to expect
