1 Washington, March 21.-(SpeciaL) Investigators have been appointed 10 | inquire into the alleged unnecessary delay of the government in construct ing airplanes of the battle type. They will find that there has been no un- necessary delay. but that it will be impossible for the government to com bat Germany effectively in the air before the spring of 1919
 While the publication of this fact might be construed as disseminating
 Information of value to the enemy, army officers have concluded that the
 people might as well be made aware of the situation. The impression has gained ground that the airmen of the
 United States are occupying all space above the ground, not only in this country, but in France as we'll As a matter of fact United States aviators in this country and abroad are, as rule, still in the capacity of cadets.
 The government has manufactured a few battle planes. and types have been forwarded to General Pershing. An idea of the extent of the work may be gained from the fact that by the end Of May, 500 battle planes will be ready for service Much time has been consumed in making preparations. This consumption of time was neces- sary, it is claimed Now, however, since the ground work has been de- layed, great progress will be made. But not attempt is under way to con- But no attempt is under way to con-
 ni1 ha fn ri U from the air before the spring of next year.
 In the beginning of preparations when the appropriation for aviation service amounted to $640000,000. the idea seemed to hold throughout the country that Americans were already threatening Germans position in the air. When months rolled away with cut bringing news of the Kasers de- thronement pessimism reigned. It was claimed that no headway was being made, that machines completed were found unavailable, and that the Lib- erty motor had failed to make good. An investigation was demanded and authorized.
 It is stated on best authority that the optilnists and pessinists are equally in error. It was impossible for the United States. with all its money and intelligence. to develop over night a technical industry with which it had little more than a passing acquain- tance. On the other hand, there is no reason why pessimists should give way to despair.
 In this connection army officers have reached the conclusion that it might as well a be made known that in no re spect can the United States strike the Kaiser with all it's force before the spring of next year. Up tQ the present time it has been the burden of the United States to supply the allied fam fly with money, food, clothing and mu- nitions of war, and, at the same time, prepare, as quickly a possible, for ac- tual fighting on a scale as great as that on which France and England are fighting. This duty has been dis charged admirably, according to volun-

Don't Be Sensitive


 In an article called: How I Cured Myself of Being Sensitive" a writer says in the American Magazine.
 Wagner. you've got ability he cried, but you'll never get anywhere in this world until you quit tearing yourself to pieces! I've watched you for the past three years; twice I've had it in mind to push you up a notch in the office, and every time I've passed you and picked someone else, because I know you aren't fit to han dle other men. No man is fit to handle other men until he has learned to con trol himself. You can't, you're too blamed sensitive.
 Little setbacks break your heart. A letter of complaint comes in from some customer and you take it as a personal criticism, and lose a days work breeding over it. You see me in conference with some of the other men, and you stab yourself wondering why you weren't invited, and imagine that I have turned against you. You hear about someone who is making more money than you, and immediately all far fields look greener. You're a fairly useful cog in your present job, and it might put me to some annoy ance to lose you. But you'll never hold a big job until you can forget your own petty self and learn to laugh when the world takes a crack at you Hanged if don't think sometimes it might be better if you were to get out and try your hand somewhere else'"
