Unable TO SHAKE
/ allied AIR RULE
Entente Machines Surpass Best
Hun Types in All Branches
slj1a, 81, Of Service.

In spite of the tremendous aviation
efforts of the Germans, prompted by
the entry Of the United States into the
world conflict, and their threat to have
thousands Of aircraft available this
spring, the enemy has been unable to
even shake the allied air superiority
anywhere. The single-seater machines,
the Hanover monoplane and the Pfalz
biplane do not compare with the latest
models of French and British fighting
planes.
Z For speed in climbing the Germans
found the Fokker triplane impractical
and it was quickly discarded for a new
type Of monoplane.
While this monoplane was fast it
vas unreliable and less speedy than
the wonderful French Morane. The
Pfal1 biplane is little better, but it
suffers continually with motor trouble.
The Germans are now using light
er machine, which carries brace of
machine guns. The enemy's two-seater
Of the AlbatrOss-Aviatik type is still
the best machine they have. 1t is
speedy and capable Of climbing to q
great height, owing to its large spread
of wings.
However, the Germans are obliged
to use faster observation machines
. than the allied aviators, as their single
scatter fighting machines are incapable
Of protecting the two-seaters as the al-
lied machines are.
The scout machines of the allies are
also used for guard duty, for regulat.
Ing artillery fire and for Photographic
work. 5,. @sS,,yi ,.s..
/ It is also noticeable that the accur.
acy Of the enemy's antiaircraft guns is
falling OF. This ID due to the fact that
many Of their best ayiators have been
drafted for machine gun service to re-
place those killed in the recent German
offensive.

MY Dear Senator poindcxter:
Tine following article from me ap-
peared in Tho Kansas City Star Oh
May :. 1915:
\ sedition. Free Press and Per-
.onal Rule.
Tho legislation NOW being enact
cd by Congress should deal drasticaI-
~ with scdition. It should also guar
antee the right Of the press and PEE
pie to speak the truth freely of III
their public servants. including the
President. and 70 criticise them in
the seyerest torms Of truth when
ever they come short in their public
duty. Finally. Congress should gra 1t
the Executive the amplest powers 10
act IS an Executive and should hold
MIN 10 stern accountability for fail-
IRE SO 70 act: but il should itself DO
the actual laWmdking and should
clearly define the lines and limits Of
action and should retain and use he
fullest powers Of investigation in-1
and supervision over such action.
'Sedition is a form OF treason. IT
ls an offence against the country. no.
against the President. At this tin ?
TO oppose the draft or sending our
armies to Europe. to uphold Ger-
many, to attack our Allies. to oppose
raising the money necessary 70

OF moral sedition. while to act as a
German spy pr TO encourage German
spies TO use money or intrigue in
the corrupt service of Germany. to
tdmper with cut war manufactures
ana 70 encourage our soldiers TO de-
cert or to fail in their duty. and ali
similar actions. are forms Of up-
cooptedly Illegal sedition. For some
