SENATE URGES
AVIATION QUIZ
Charges Of Gross Extravaganza
and Misuse of Funds

Washington, D. c., May 2.-Investi-
cation of the army aviation situation
with a view to criminal prosecutions
was urged today in the senate. Gross

lions for the aviation progrem were
suggested, and in spirited speeches
several senators declared further in
vestigation should be made as to any
criminal or civil liability of those re-
spOnsible.

The Germans are displaying in
creased activity in the SOmme battle.
front, and around the Montdidier sail
ent to NOyon, probably in preparation
for a. renewal of their offensive.
Checked by the stiff British and Fran
cO-American resistance to their at
tempt to push further toward Amiens,
the enemy forces are now engaged in
trying out various portions OF the
southern front.
One such effort directed against po-
sitions held by American troops, has
already been chronicled in the news
dispatches. The enemy found an un-
yielding barrier here and retired with
nothing but heavy losses to show for
his attempt. ~a''I
Last night there was similar
thrust at the French at the Themes
region, southwest of Hangard. The
artillery promptly broke up this drive.
This morning the German guns
opened up rather heavily in the Will
ers-Bretonneux area, just north and
directly east of Amiens, but no infan-
try attacks had developed.
.LuIl on Flanders Front
The lull that followed the severe
German defeat of Monday has con-
tinued on the Flanders front. Only
the artillery has been active.
German guns were opening a spirit
ed fire this morning near Merris, in
dicating the possibility that renewal
of the German northern effort may be
developed along the Bailleul!Haze-

and greater concentration OF can

The New Owner Of "The Post"

The Sun cordially welcomes Mr..
THOMAS w. LAMONT to the ranks Of
ownership journalism in New York.
In passing from the hands of one gen.
tleman, the Erenin0 Post has gone
into the hands of another gentleman.
Mr.. OSWALD G. WILLARD, who has just
turned over the property to Mr.. La
MONT, has maintained the best ira
ditions Of the Post during his admin
istration of that newspaper.
In Mr.. LAMoNT's purchase the
Post has fortunately again come into
the hands of man who In himself
and his fine ideals Of citizenship is
guarantee of n continuance Of the
high purposes that have characterized
the Post for so many years.
The standard of ownership jour-
nalism has gained by the accession
of Mr.. LAMONT to its ranks. Indeed,
every sound man Of right instincts
and right ideals who becomes pews-
paper owner makes for the good of
the press generally. We cannot have
too many Tom Lannon'S In positions
of so wide influence and power.

The Kaiser Becomes silly.

American armies and numerical su-
periority do not brighten us. 1t is spirit

Is the first sentence the gentle i'm
perial way Of breaking the news to
the German people that there Is an
American army In France and that 1t
Is growing toward the two million
mark? And was the second sentence
composed before spirit had brought n
decision at Seringes and the Prussian
Guards were dead or prisoner Mt the
hands of the Americans?
The most remarkable part Of VIII
HELM's address, however, concerns
the contest on the Atlantic:
MY submarines are sure of success.
They are tenaciously attacking and fight-
ing the vital forces which are stream
ing across the sea to the enemy
1t Is impossible for Americans,
knowing as they do that more than
n million soldiers have crossed to
France with a loss of less than 300
men, to become vexed with Will
HELMS statement. 1t Is like the bah
bling Of man who has slipped sud
denly into second childhood and who
Is repeating fairy tales told to him
by the German Admiralty. Coupled
with such outgivings, the Kaiser's
talk about united stand and unbend-
ing will" becomes silly. Even KARI
RosNER must have smiled behind his
note book.

THE KAISER'S PORTRAIT.
Perhaps the Oyster Bay Librar,
Bought Bonds With the Proceeds.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: You
print a good story of the destruction
by oyster Bay vigilantes of an auto
graphed portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm
presented by him in days OF peace to
Colonel Roosevelt, by him presented to
the oyster Bay library. and by the trus-
tees Of said library sold. since war was
declared. to an unfortunate admirer of
the Kaiser. who was willing to part
with the price, and who has now lost
all
Why should the oyster Bay library
trustees traffic In such trash' Was
there anything patriotic In causing a
transfer OF the thing from one hanging
place to another" Can money received
through such a transaction serve any
good public use? What turptude !,
American money debased TO an evalua-
ton with the Kaser's likeness What
ignominy, Let them not he praised for
their act, II was but shutting evasion.
The one thing for them TO have done
was what the red blooded vigilantes
have now done for them; ard FOR the
faint Of the mob which attended the
vlgilantes' action the library trustees
are alone TO blame.
Let us hope they will have the saw
ing grace 10 spend the money for thrift
stamps. GEORGE !. PUTNAM.

The End OF . Dangerous Nuisance.

President WILSON has signed the
resolution adopted by Congress under
which the charter of the National
German American Alliance Is revoked.
The alliance was pernicious and
malignant agent Of Prussian intrigue,
operating behind the mask of citizen
ship and friendship to undo the
United States. 1t accomplished some
harm, no doubt, but not much, except
as 1t herded Germanophiles together
and kept the fire of their dsloyalty
burning. So far as its efforts were
directed toward the undermining of
American sentiment among Americans
of non-German extraction 1t did little.
because, like its master in Berlin, It's
directors were grossly ignorant of
America and the Americans.
Hereafter we hope there will be no
more of these hyphenated sociaties en-
joying the protection and dignity of
special charters granted by the Fed
eral or State legislatures. This ap-
plies not only to organizations inter
ested in countries with which we are
now at war, but to those interested In
other countries as well. The general
laws providing for the formation of
social and other societies grant all
the privileges that are needed by any
reputable association. and give to the
authorities power of supervision that
experience shows to he highly desir-
able. Moreover, these supervisory
powers should be exercised by the
authorities vigorously. We should
know at all times what chartered as
sociations of citizens, near citizens,
resident aliens, and visitors from
afar are up to. We have learned
since the war began that many of
those who used the fairest words
were actually plotting our downfall,
and we should hereafter require the
enemy within our gates to do his
dirty work without the protection of
charter granted by the nation he
hopes to hamstring.
