For a long time there has been
much conflict and misunderstanding
concerning the amount of money
spent on aircraft, the number of bat
tleplanes and training planes we
have had, the number of motors we
have built, and kindred matters re-
lating to our program IN the air.
For a long time there has been con-
siderable twaddIe about military
secrecy which had the effect of keep
ing the facts from the American
people and not from Germany, and
instead of feeling the stimulus Of
public opinion, production was per
mitted to lag and incompetency was
successfully cloaked.
Not All Available
Not all the data f. as yet available,
but I am presenting today a com
pilation Of figures obtained from the
House Committee on Military Affairs,
the chairman OF which secured the
permission of the Secretary of War
before allowing them to be made
public.
There are, in the first place, 12,1o7
officers in our Aviation Corps and
fS6,761 enlisted men. OF this number
4054 are hiers. The total number Of
machines abroad is 1916, Of which
321 are battleplanez: and the number
Of machines in the United States is
AGO, most of which are training
planes
None OF those battleplanes were
made in America but were secured
from the British and French factories,

.TORPEDOES ON FOUR WHEELS
Explosive Propelled Toward Enemy
Trenches and Controlled by Means
of Wires Attached to Works.

La DOmenica Del COrriere, Italy, re-
ports new war device, the invention
of an English engineer, StraffOrd Tai
bot. Literally, it is torpedo ON wheels
which may be propelled toward the en-
emy trenches and controlled from the
starting point by means of attached
wires.
The explosive is mounted on a metal
lie box which rides on four wheels.
Attached to the box is a cOntrivance
consisting OF a dynamo which prOpelS
the wheels. The entire machine is
electrically controlled, permitting the
explosion of the charge at the desired
moment.
Two parallel wires connect the tor
pedo with the control station. These
are carried on spOOls and unwind as
the machine advances. The power is
derived from accommodating batteries
at the starting point When it is de-
sired to fire the charge all that is re-
quired is to push a button. According
to the inventor the total cost of this
cOntrivance is about $50.

DEPORTING A WHOLE NATION
Kaiser, in Action Toward Belgium, Is
Partly Following Style First Set
by King Sargon.

Only a few years ago, comparative
ly, the great King Sargon was held by
critics to be a biblical myth, monarch
who never ruled Assyria, but eXcava-
tiOns in that ancient land cOnfOunded
the alleged historical experts, says the
Newark News. And now comes along
no less an authority than John Dyne-
ley Prince, former statesman of New
Jersey, master of some twenty ancient
and modern tongues, and head of
department in Columbia university,
calling attention to the fact that Sar-
gon first set the style of depcrting
whole nation that is being partly fol-
lowed by the kaiser in Belgium.
1t was some 1900 years ago that
SargOn carried the ten tribes of Israel
out of the promised land and filled up
their country with Arabs and tribes
from northern Asia Minor, and he did
such a good job that the Jews never
came back. History, however, does
not always repeat itself, as witness
the return from captivity Of the Jews
released from Babylonia through Cy-
rus the Persian.

Chemistry Recognized Science.

Chemistry has been accorded an al
most formal recognition as the science
at the heart of modern warfare. The
British ministry of reconstruction has
pointed out that Germany selected the
chemical industry for especial nurture
in making its war preparations, es-
pecially that part Of the industry deal
ing with coal tar derivatives, in which
field the imperial government gradual
ly won 9 temporary world monopoly.
The minister of reconstruction has ap-
pointed a committee of six chemists
to investigate the situation in England
and to recommend a plan for making
the British chemical industry self-sus-
tanning and equal to any call upon it
during and after the war.

CanitaI Punishment.

Capital punishment prevails in all
the states of the Union except Kansas,
Maine, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Wash.
ingtOn and Wisconsin. In Michigan
the only crime punishable by death Ia
treason. The death penalty was abOl.
ished in the state of Washington in
1913, in Iowa in 1872 and restored in
1873, in Colorado in 1897 and restored
in 1901. Hanging is the ordinary mode
of execution, but in Indiana, New York
Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Arkan.
sas, Vermont and Virginia electrocu'
tion is the legal method. In Nevada
f, hanging or shooting is optional with
the condemned person.

Already more efficient operation
of the railways taken under control by
the Government has been effected.
Says the Centreville Observer: "Du-
plicatiOn of service, especially of pas
senger service. has been eliminated,
with more freight traffic made possi-
BILE as a consequence. The common
use of terminals has avoided much
delay and shipment by the most direct
routes, instead of by longer routes
designated by shippers or dictated by
the respective railroads interests or
traffic agreements, has saved much
time. In short, conflicting corporate
interests have been subordinated to
the one national purpose of rapid and
efficient moving of traffic. with the
result of distinct speeding up of
freight movement.
Government operation will be
more economical. Much duplication
required by competitive operation of
the railroads is rendered unnecessary
and ether expenses, too, will be elm
mated. Director General McAdoo
has Used an order, General Order No.
6. forbidding the use of the railroads
revenues for paying agents or other
persons employed in any way to affect
legislation, attorneys who are not
actually engaged in the performance
of necessary legal work, the expenses
of persons or agencies constituting as
sociations of carriers, unless such as
sociation is approved in advance by
the Director General, and payment:
for any political purpose or to directly
or Indirectly influence the election o.
any person or an election affecting
any public measure. Free passes art
also forbidden except sugh as are ex
pressly authorized by the interstat,
commerce act. -

DON'T FRET ABOUT TRIPLES
Magnfying Petty Mistakes and Trou-
bIes Weakens Ones Ability to
Master Bigger Problems.

SOine of us rather Overdriven women
get into habit of magnifying the pet
ty mistakes or troubles of disagreeable
events of the day, the business day,
, and making them out very big and ter
rible. The result is a loss of energy,
for magnified troubles bring worry and
anxiety, which is a sort of poison to
the mind and even to the body, writes
Jessie Roberts in the Houston Post.
Don't hang on to the mistakes of
yesterday. TOday's will be easier to
manage if you haven't that drag on
you, and by little more firmness you
can soon gce to the point when the an
nOyance of the moment gets itself set
tied in that moment and then is drop
ped.
We would think it d fool thing to
feed our body poison, even In the mi
nutest particles; but we feed our
nerves poison, even though it be in
small quantities, when we deliberately
fret and worry over small things, max
ing them huge and important by the
mere turning of them over and over.
These are strenuous days. Don't
weaken your strength by unnecessary
and harmful fuSSing over trifles. After
you have done whatever can be done
to remedy what has gone wrong, turn
your mind away from it. Refuse to be
dominated by small mistakes. Few of
us, by the way, are terrified by a really
big thing. We rouse up and meet it
definitely and firmly, unless we have u
yellow streak. But the small thing
often breaks down our nerves-and
then our nerve.

All America can but regret the tor
pedoing of the Tuscania, the transport
ship with its total of 2397 of our men
on board. That so comparatively few
lives were lost, Ill. is cause for re-
joicing. The act is in line with Ger.
many's inhumane warfare and only
spurs every true American to get
into the game and do his bit to fight
the war to a successful end.

Won Hindenburo a "Junker."

"Junker" is philOlOgically akin to
"JOnkheer" and has a quasi-equivalent
in the English esquire" The Junker
is a man of some birth and of inherit
ed property, especially land, says an
exchange. The word is used to de-
scribe that large class of Prussians
who come of noble, seminOble or at
least old and "gOod" families and
whose worldly possessions are such as
to give them as appreciable stake in
the government. Won Hindenburg is a
fine example of the Junker; Luden.

by birth, however much d one he may
be by taste.

"You now realize the truth of what
wrote you long ago on this subject
that the time would come when if Ger

by law the public would take this duty
into their own hands. That being the

there are othvr newspaper owners and
men of public influence involved in this
