will be necessary, it is explained, to

is expected to try to combine two
loans into one big campaign for the
largest credit ever sought by any
nation. Such a campaign would be
set for sometime in the late winter
Money needs between loan periods

will be financed by sale of short
term certificates of Indebtedness, as
in the past. In addition the treasury
looks for a steady inflow OF money
from tax certificates which banks
and corporations will probably BUY
IN billion dollar quantities as
means of virtually paying their taxes
in advance.
Every effort will be made by the
treasury to make the number OF
loans as few and the time for finan-
cial rest between campaigns as
long as possible. Officials would
much rather have one more big So
licitation in addition to the fourth
campaign to start late next month
than two before the fiscal end OF
the year next June 80.
One particular season in which the
treasury department wishes to AVOID
floating loans is the Christmas noli-
DAYS and the following weeks OF
comparative commercial inactivity
when there is danger also of curtain
ed industrial activity on account OF
bad weather. Another bad time TOT
loans, is the spring planting season
when farmers are busy and business
men have less time than usual to de-
vote to campaigning. The third per-
iod to be avoided is June, when huge
war taxes will have to be paid.
No plans for future liberty loans
can be formulated definitely many
weeks in advance, owing to the I'M
certainty of the volume of govern
ment expenditures. Consequently the
program now in the minds OF treas
ury officials is highly tentative. An
example of the fluctuations OF ex-
penditures is the fact that with Aug
ust more than half gone the allies
have called for only $71,000,oOO, one
third the usual rate of borrowing.

any rate, if they do think of it, they are
too busy trying to out-manmuvre one an
other to pay much attention to it. And SO,
if couple of dozen Of them are involved
IN one of those rough d-tumbles air scraps
which the aviators themselves call dog
fights where each pilot goes for the near
est enemy machine in front of him and
at the same time has to watch his own tail
to see that no enemy is attacking him from
the rear, then there is still less chance OF
any one considering what the wind is do
ing. Before the fight one side or the other
may try to cut the enemy off from his homo
territory and force him to fight over hostile
ground, but, when once the fight has begun,
the lighters are carried along by the wind
just as two men fighting in the water would
be carried along by the current Consider,
then, what happens the West front in
France, where the fighting runs approx
mately north and south, and where the pre-
valling wind is from the west A patrol of
British fighting machines meets a patrol of

Germans--or 'Hunland' as the flying people

down and crashed. 1t falls into German

AT the same time British machine is hit
in the engine. The pilot turns and tries

hut he has to fly ten miles against n forty-

chances are that the engine expires after
few minutes, and he lands in 'Hunland' and
is captured. Then in the evening com

is UOC OI CIlc importance I1OW
IL that it was when aviation was in
it's infancy, and yet it is not to be
neglected, according to c. G. Grey, editor
of "The Aeroplanc," who has written
the following discussion for "The Illus
trated London News:
''In these days of skilful pilots and Of inr
stantly controllahle acroplanes the effects Of
wind in air fighting, SO far as concerns up
setting the machines gravitationally or the
pilots physically, practically negligible
"When flying was in in its infancy one
heard great deal about 'air pockets and
bumps Aeroplanes few so slowly and
had so little engine power to spare for
lifting purpos rs that every little down cur
rent-generally the 'curl-over' of an air
wave, dropped the machine quite consider
ably, and gave one that nasty sensation of
leaving ones insides upstairs which one
feels when a fast passenger-lift starts sud
denly on it's downward journey. People
called this falling into an air pocket and
evolved quaint theories about a partial
vacuum, and SO forth.

light machine may pitch and roll about
great deal, from the point Of view OF the on
locker, but the experienced pilot, used to
looping, diving, spinning and ell the other
modern man9uvrcs, takes no notice OF the,
wind effects, and probably merely remarks
on descending that it WAS trihe bumpy
up to thousand feet or SO. Being pitched
about a few feet at time does not really
worry him, and he takes no more notice OF
it than a motorist does of driving over Z
bumpy road.
"The real effect of wind on air fighting is
of quite another nature. Wind has, in
fact, the effect of increasing or decreasing
very considerably the losses of one side or
the other, according to its direction. An
aeroplane is influenced by the direction OF
the wind precisely as a boat is by the cur
rent of river. For example, If ten-knot
boat is going down stream with fve-knot
current it will pass objects on the bank at
the rate of fifteen knots. If it is going
up stream it will make only five knots in
relation to the land, for the fveknot stream
will knock five knots off its speed. If it
goes straight across the stream it will cross
ct the rate of ten knots, while it will SO
sdcwise down stream at the rate OF five
knots at the same time. In just the same way
an aeroplane going at 100 miles an hour in
perfectly calm air will, if flown in a wind
of, say, forty miles an hour, attain 140
miles an hour down wind. If flown against
the wind it will go only at sixty miles an
hour, and if flown exactly broadsde onto
the wind it will make its 100 miles an hour
ahead but it will drift sidewise at forty
miles an hour all the time. For example,

a New Salonica Planned

q ALONICA, the open port to Mace
~ dona, suffered disastrously IN
great fire last year. Now Salonica, i'm
aginatively projected by the Greek Pre-
nier as one Of the great cities of the
near Orient, is to be rebuilt in the mod
ern fashion. Thomas M. Mawson, an
English town-planning expert, has been
made senior member of the commission
for the rebuilding of Salonica, and in
the following portion of an article from
Land and Water he describes some of
the changes the commission intends
making:
"Ruc Egnatius will be the main central
longitudinal boulevard through the city. 1t
will be straight from end to end, and have
a width of 120 feet. At the Porte Varda
end there will be placed the great union
terminal railway station, with an electric
underground railway connecting the sta
tions with another railway terminal at
Kalemaria, or the east end of the city.
From this station a railway will
eventually run to the Gulf of Orphano. The
width Of Rue Egnatius permits of central
boulevard of trees, with tramlines on either
s,t,e. snen two lines of vehicular traffic and
wide tree planted sidewalks Above and be-
low tn!s main axis there will be three other
longitudinal axes, seven in all; two Will
include Rue St. Demetre and the Quay.
"The main cross axis starts at the Quay
and extends to the minaret of st. Demetre.
This is the main cross artery of the city;
it will be $50 feet in width, planted with
Of haS and have adj
djtior, central parkway. On either side
Of this boulevard and north of Rue Egna-
thus there will be erected in large open
spaces the new city hall and Law Courts,
which, together with the new ST. Demetre
should make a very fine architectural COM
position.
"Rue Venezelos, so we'll known to British
soldiers and nurses, will be widened and
paralleled by another road of equal width
and Importance to the west. At the base of
these two roads, and near it's junction with
the Quay, the central block between these
two parallels is carried back for 100 yards
thus forming a square, to be called Liberty
Square. Around this square will be erected
the great postoffice and the principal banks
"The great quay is to be wdened by
about forty feet, and divided into lower
and upper boulevards, the latter about four
feet above it's present level. The docks are
to be developed westward. and the White
Tower at the east end. developed as the
great social centre for the city. Here will
be built the new opera house and theatre
and the great city cafes.

equal. In the Philippines there are only
$4,000 Chinese, less than one per cent
of the total population. But this hand
full of Chinese controls 90 per cent Of
the retail trade Of the islands.
This is the gray dawn for John China

and weaknesses are more easily seen
now than ever before and the dangers
which it faces are no longer hidden.
