Slams Ofer OF Army Aviators.

Prince VAIDYAKARA, secretary of
the Siamese Legation at Paris, an
nOunces that more than 500 airplane
pilots have been trained in Siam and
are now ready for service in France.
Should they be accepted 1t would be
the first time In their history the Sla-
mese have fought except in purely
defensive warfare and on their own
soil. A peculiar phase of their offer,
too, is that they, one of the oldest
of Oriental races, should choose for
their entrance into the war the most
modern methods of warfare.
That the Slamese. who have been
described as the gentlest and kind
Hest people In the world" should
have entered the war at oil was one
of the unexpected developments of
the struggle. Prince MAHIDOL, n
brother of the King, in giving the
reason for the declaration of hos
tillties against Germany about year
ago, said that Germany was exercis-
ing the extraterritorinl rights which
she had in Siam with more severity
than any other nation, and that she
insisted upon making the Samese
const base for her raiders to prey
upon the Oriental commerce of the
Allies. In the popular mind Ger
many became a military giant strid-
ing ruthlessly through the field of
weaker nations" A great wave of
sympathy swept over Siam when
Belgium was devastatcS and France
invaded. Prince MAHIDoL said:
President WILSON'S message to Con-
gress put in words what the siamese
had been thinking. and when the mes
sage became known and understood In
Siam the place OF the country In the
war was nxed"
Siam at first proposed sending a
body Of her troops to Europe Their

When we urged revision and re-
form Of the patent laws of the United
Stntes to prevent the abuses which
have grown up in their operation we
recognized the difficult nature of the
proposed undertaking and the neces-
slty for careful consideration OF all
the interests involved. Mr.. JOHN.
sTON, whose letter on this subject
we print in another column to-day Is
not more interested In the protection
of the rights of owners of legitimate
patents than we nre. nor is he more
anxious than THE Sun to safegua rd
the property Of men who have made
large investments on the strength Of
the temporary monOpOlies assured to
them by the Government through the
Patent Office.
But Mr.. JOHNSTON himself reveals
weakness Of the system and a gross
abusc Of the power conferred on the
Congress by The Constitution ito pro-
mote the progress Of science and use-
full arts by securing for limited times
to authors and inventors the exclu-
sive right to their respective writ.
jngs and discoveries" when from his
intimate acquaintance with the stu
ntion he dlsclOses the fact that:
the number Of patents
held In German hands at the present
time which are thought to keep free
from competition valuable chemical prod
ucts not made in this country is a
moving consideration in the suggested
change. Experience. however. proves
that this Ia largely a matter Of blum /;
percentage Of the chemical patents
granted to them IS invalid for inoper-
atircness. and desiDnedly so.
American chemists find that many OF
the processes supposedly protected by
patents issued 70 foreign inventors uul
not produce the results set out in their
specifications.

reform Of far reaching and radical
character. This reform THE Sun
holds should include provisions com.
pelling the working of the patents in

that adopted in England, where

Our Omeers and Mon in France.

The country learned yesterday Gen.
eral PERsHiNG's opinion Of the men
in his command They are, in his
words, superb soldiers" What the
men think Of their officers has been
disclosed In many letters, In which
the Impressions Of prlvates were set
forth frankly. and with no expecta-
ton that they would he published
Practically without exception the au-
thors Of these letters have exhibited
confidence In and affection for their
superiors, and have recorded the
kindness and consideration shown to
them by those to whom they look for
guidance and instruction.
Another opinion of the American
Expeditionary Forces Is given In a
letter recently received from an Off
Ger Of the Regular Army. First
Lieutenant who has been engaged in
important actions. He discusses the
feeling Of the company Officers for
the field and general officers. OF
them this Lieutenant. informed by
experience, writes:
TN regard to losses We have been
very fortunate. due chiefly to an lntelli-
gent. corsiderate stan OF high officers
who regulate our destin!es.
We get no impossible missions. and
every mans move Is carefully planned
and thoroughly supported.
We are getting the best men avail
able as our superiors. and those who are
incapable are being removed regardless
OF connections at home.
Every possible comfort 10 being pro-
vided by the Government and the men ire
centented and happy to fight for a coun-
try that does SO much for them"
Thus we have the declarations Of
the men In the ranks that their com.
pany officers are competent and con-
siderate; the testimony of the COM
pany officers that their superiors are
able and reasonable; and the word
of General PERsHING that the men
he commands are superb soldiers
The gigantic machine we have con-
structed Ia proving Itself forml-
dable engine Of war, and the spirit
shown by the men In 1t discloses the
high character of those on whom the
Sighting falls.
Particularly interesting and graft
flying is the fact that men not up to
their work are quickly relieved Of
duty. These removals mean that po-
litical considerations in no way influ-
ence the selection Of officers for staR
duty; that the army Is democracy
In which ability nlone counts. Not
even the great victory that has been
won over the Germans on the Marine
s more gratifying than this fact.

The American Troops In Italy.

General MARGINS announcement
that American troops trained in

the popular belief that n movement Of
this kind was under way. BEFORE the

States to make It's power potent on
every sector of the line. After the
Italian defeat last autumn, French

Wilson's Message
Praised in Japan
Gives Assurance to Small Ma
tionalities, Declares
the "Asahi"

TOXIC, Feb. 15.-President Wilson's
message to Congress on February Ii
was given the widest publication
throughout the Japanese Empire in the
afternoon newspapers Of February 13
and the morning newspapers of Febru-
ary IA. The message received very
favorable comment this morning in the
leading newspapers of Toxic and Osaka.
Both the "Asahi" and "Jiji Shimpo"
are of the opinion that this was the
most important utterance of the Presi-
dent and that it clearly defined the
peace terms of the Entente Allies. The
"Asahi" says:
"The Presidents great democratic
position marks the end of the oldtime
diplomacy, in which the will of the
people was ignored, and gives assur-
ance that henceforth the rights of
small nationalities will not be over
ridden The entire people of America
are endeavoring to give evidence of
their undivided support of President
WILSON,"
The "Jiji Shimpo" says President
Wilson'S war principles constitute the
only sure foundation for an enduring
peace
The "Chugai," commercial newspa-
per, declares the most important feat
ure of the address is the question of
territorial readjustment, and asks
whether the settlements apply to all
alike, including the Far East and the
South Seas
