In one instance finished combat
machine---a Bristol fighter--rolled
out of the factory and ready for a
test, suddenly burst into flames and
was destroyed. This inexplicable oc-
currence was attributed to sabotage
and It appeared to be directed partic-
ularly against this type Of machine.
So many faults and defects devel-
oped In the construction of the Bris-
toll fighters--not all due to admit
ted errors in Modification Of design
that the type was summarily alb
andoned after orders for production
In quantity had been given at large
expense to the government. It Is
held IN oficial quarters in Washing
ton that sabtoge as much a. fault
In design caused the abandonment
Of construction Of this type Of fight
Ing machine.
Minute inspection Of machines Of
other types has revealed that the
canvas Of the wings had been tackled
to the ribs. causing the ribs to split
through the shrinkage Of the canvas
and making the machine unsafe for
flight.
This is diabolical form Of sabot-
age. or q criminal ignorance or neg
ligence. Such a fault In construction
10 concealed In the first place by the
canvas covering Of the wings, and
the defect does not develop until the
canvas shrinks and splits the ribs.
Then 1t is still concealed and often
cannot be discovered to have exist
ed even after some hapless aviator
has crashed to earth through failure
Of the wings to support the machine
and the wreckage 10 examined.
Profiteerin, inasmuch as It also
criminal waste. may be
made the subject for recommends
ton for criminal prosecution in the
Hughes report. There can be no
further doubt Of profiteering in air
craft production. It has been SHOWN
that some companies engaged In
branches OF aircraft production are
In the neighborhood Of 200
per cent on capital invested. and the
allowance under govern
ment contracts at the present time is
10 per cent.
Liberty motors are being built at
a profit in the neighborhood OF
$110 for each motor, and In some
plants 1t is estimated that in guam
tity production fifty or more Liber-
ty motors would be turned out each
day. which would appear to give
large profit to the manufactures.
The profits to the makers of the
Lerhone engines 10 placed in excess
Of $500 for each motor and In

than the Liberty motors.

HUGHES REPORT
Due VERY SOON

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.--The re-
port OF the senate militar yaffairs
committee on the aircraft program
and the publication Of sensational
evidence before the committee. Is
simply preparatory to the big smash
which is expected to come this week
with the report Of the investigation
conducted by Charles Il. Hughes.
Members Of the senate investigat-
ing committee, who refrained from
pursuing questions Of personal or
criminal responsibility in the matter
OF aircraft production. but could not
help but see the outcropping in the
course Of their investigation, and
other Investigators who have gone
over precisely the same ground COW
cred by Mr.. Hughes, confidently
predict = report from him that will
demand immediate and sweeping &C
ton ON the part Of the department
Of j6stice.
FORECAST OF REPORT
What they have found and what
they say Mr.. Hughes has found il in
part:
A trail Of graft that runs through
the aircraft production program
from the beginning up to the pres
ent time.
Sabotage. proved and certain,
coupled with criminal acts in pro-
duction Of aircraft: negligence and
incompetency that can only be ar
rested by the strong arm Of the law.
'Profiteerlng, extravaganza and
criminal waste OF materials Of al
most inestimable value to the speed
ing up Of aircraft production and It's
consequent effect upon the strength
and effectiveness Of our troops in
the battle line.
Fasoritlsm and high pay for sup
srvision OF work by persons wholly
incompetent for the task, and inspec-
tion that was farce and nothing
short Of contributory to murder in
giving the stamp OF approval at the
factory TO machines that would
prove mankillers when tried out on
the flying fields.
GROUPING OF TEUTONs
A singular grouping Of men OF
Teutonic blood or extraction In Inn
portant positions In aircraft produc-
ton plants. and the rotation Of
skilled workmen Of the same class
from one aircraft plant to another.
1t is possible that the Hughes re-
port may be silent ON the last sub
ject. because the mere fact that such
men are associated In one way or
another with the aircraft production
program proves nothing. but It has
attracted the immediate attention Of
other investigators and has been a
source Of misgivings about achieve
ments.
The faint Of graft In aircraft pro-
duction IT, said to be 20 ingrained
that none Of the Investigators thus
far employed have been able to isol-
aA the leads and trace them to their
sources. Mr.. Hughes has had An
exceptional opportunity to 90 into
the matter and his known akin IN
foHowing leads and arriving at re-
suit; il hsoasis for the prediction
in Warrington that his report WILL
give concrete results on this subject.
PRACTICE OF SABOTAGE
Sabotage, or the wilful Gripping
Of flying machines and the machin-
cry for their production. has already
been proved by other investigations
under government direction and has
been one Of the known lines follow.

The World Must Be Made Safe for Democracy
BY w. L. .WEsTERMANN. Professor Of History
University OF Wisconsin
drecon q Wisconsin ceane d pefens

On April ., 1917, President Wilson
called togetas- the two houses OF Con-
gress in Joint session and asked that
war be declared Upon the government
of the German Empire. In his address
he gave to us and the world the fight
ing slogan of the United States;
THE WORLD MUST BE MADE
SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY" For to
the great experiment of democratic
government, the people of the United
States is gnalterably committed.
In 1914 when the Archduke of Aus
tria was murdered, the mobiles who
rule the Anstro Hungarian empire de-
cided to take that occasion to square
their long-standing account with
Servia. In this decision they were
backed by Germany's rulers whose mad
plans of increased power are now so
well known. The basis of the hatred
of the Austrians for Servia was polit
ical. The reasons for the Hungarian
hatred of Eervia were partially polit-
ical, but chiefiy economic
AS far as Hungary and Servia are
concerned, this war is largely strug-
gle between feudal land-holding au-
tocracy and democratic, farming peo
pie. The Servians we're peasants
Eighty per cent of them owned land,
and titled the land they owned. Hun
gary, also, is an agricultural country.
But it is, economically, feudal state.
Only twelve per cent of the Hungarian
people own farm lands. One one-hun
dredth of one per cent of the total
population of Hungary controls thirty
one per cent of all its arabic land.
The small group of forty feudal
barons included in this number con-
trolls absolutely the destinies of the
100000 Of the Hungarian people
Politically, as we'll as economically,
Hungary is feudal autocracy. About
six per cent of the working classes
have the right to vote Agricultural
laborers and apprenticed workmen are
excluded, But Servia was politically
a democratic state. Every man who
paid three dollars year in direct
taxes had the FRANCHISE. The Servian
king was peoples king who sat IN
the National Assembly along with the
elected Representatives of his people
The Hungarian land barons are no
longer bothered by the competition OF
the free Servian peasants.
Even more clearly than at its be-
ginning the issue Of the war stands
out today as a fight for democracy
"for the rights of nations great and
small and the privilege of men every
where to choose their way OF life and
obedience" The future planned for
Belgium by the German militarists,
who are more than ever in control of
Germany, is absolute proof of this.
General Won Kissing, the late Ger
man Governor of belgium. left a mem
orandum which has been published,
since his death, in German newspapers
and re-published by our government.
What is to be the fate of the free
Belgians? Won Kissing tells us:
1.-THE policy of power y. must see

70 II that the Belgian population, now
sun hostile TO us, shall adapt itself
ana subordinate itself, if only gradu.
ally, to the German domination.
ne who remains in the country must
declare his allegiance to Germany and
after a time must declare his allegi-
anee TO Germanism (Deutschtum, the
superior German civilization) Won
blsslng's memorandum breathes
throughout the spirit of autocracy,
that Grass political brutality which has
compelled our entrance into the war
and viii keep us in it to the end.
In the Baltic states recently con-
quered by Germany the heavy hand
and purpose of the German conquerors
nave recently been shown. No atten-
ton is being paid to the desire of the
Let's, Lithuanians, and Esthonians for
independent and democratic statehood.
The German owners of great estates
there are il control. In Poland, Ger
many is basing her power on the
landed aristocracy. a group of medic
val barons who will rule in their own
interests and those of their German
masters.
The programme of the German

ocracy of France. France must be

ton of shop-keepers," with its liberal
institutions, must be made subservi.

OF the expansion nd spread of the
German rule.

cessful and impose their will upon Eu-
rope, there would be no safety in the
world for the free and democratic col
onies of the British Empire. Canada,
New Zealand, and Australia have
been fighting for four years the fight
for democracy--for our democracy as
their own. We know, now, that their
fight is our fight.
Our own democracy, also, like those
Of Canada. New Zealand, Australia,
would be directly endangered. For
German imperialistic policy has aimed
for twenty years or more at the con-
troll of the South American republics
land then our turn was to come
After the Spanish-American war a
German military attache, in explaining
to an American officer the German
plan of conquest, declared:
Some months after we finish our
work in Europe (the taking of Paris
and the crushing of England) we will
take New York and probably Wash
ington and hold them for some time
We will put your country in its place
with reference to Germany. The
Monroe doctrine will be taken charge
Of by us and we will take charge
of South America, as far as we want
to-"
There is no doubt as to the great is
sue involved in this war. The world
must be made safe for democracy.
And now is the time for the demo-
cratic peoples of the world to fight
this issue to finish.
