Carrying Four Guns, Soon
Be on Way to Pershing.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, March 13.-America's S
first fighting seaplane equipped with
Liberty motors has been tried out and
accepted, it was learned tonight, and
number of the craft are now being
delivered for the use OF the naval air
service. They are the advance guard
Of big feet which will be added to
the forces engaged in submarine hunt
ing in the war zone.
A second type of fighting plane for
the American army, known as the
Bristol model, also has now reached
the production stage and a consider
able number will become available
during the present month. Still an
other type. a two-seated machine, is
being manufactured, Y. Y.
Construction Is Secret.
Construction details of these planes
never has been published. 1t is
known, however that the seaplanes
are substantially similar to the British
flying boats and are equipped with
two Liberty motors, which provide
approximately 700 horsepower to
drive the ship. This is understood to
be much in excess of the power used
in similar British craft and their per-
formance is expected to proportion
ately better.
In this connection it was learned
that engineers of the aircraft board
now have overcome the last minor
defect of the Liberty motors, having
to do with the lubricating system. A
number of motors taken haphazard
from the quantity prodaction supply
have been operated continuously for
many hours without any trouble de-
veloping.
Officials in close touch with prog
ress being made on production of
fighting planes in this country are still
satisfied that the output will tax ship
ping facilities before July, when de-
livery in quantities in France has
been scheduled. Already a problem
of caring for the planes on the other
side is one to which General PERISH
ing's staff is giving serious thought.
Motor Great Success.
4 Those produced in the United
States are in addition to the fighting
aviation equipment to be provided
under contract through the French
and British governments. There are
indications that these foreign con-
tracts are not up to original schedule
of delivery. No details are available,
however, as to the actual number of
machines that will be turned over to
General Pershing during the summer.
The success of the Liberty motor
is known to have attracted the atten-
t9on of both French and British air
service officials and both governments
have had experts in this country

letter to Dr.. Ho|ovtchiner Of
Omaha From Father in Kiev
Tells of Wholesale
Slaughter.

Scenes of terror and the chaotic
conditions in Russia are described in
a letter received by DR.. Elias
Holovtchiner of Omaha from his
father in kiev.
= "In a letter previous to this | wrote
about the Russian republic. We are
in state of complete anarchy here
in Kiev, and the same conditions
prevail in every large city" writes
DR.. Holovtchiner's father.
Civil war is waging here in kiev
Petrograd and Moscow.
"In one battle here 400 were killed
and a large number wounded. In
Petrograd thousands were killed and
in Moscow the dead reaches nearly
$4,000.
Kremlin is Bombarded.
1T is impossible to describe con-
ditions in Moscow. The Kremlin,
with its shrines, were bombarded with
large guns.\ The power is in the
hands of soldiers and workmen. All
the ministers of the provincial govern
ment are arrested and lodged in the
fortress of Peter and Paul. Kerensky,
by miracle, fled from Petrograd and
escaped with the aid of friends.
THE soldiers are killing their
officers and generals. Massacres,
robbery and murder goes on in the
whole of Russia. Ii
"The high cost of living is in
describable. Bread, which is not fit
to eat, costs 40 cents a pound and
even at tina. price, is hard to get

"The leaders Of the new party, which
is called bolsheviki, are issuing orders

"We don't know what will happen
tomorrow and we had better be dead
than TO live through times like these" "
Dr.. Holovtchiner, native of
Russia, has lived in Omaha MANY
years. He .erved as member of the
Board Of Education and has given the
Russian si'ration considerable
thought and study. He is familiar
with the f,Yces which are now at
work in the iand CT his birth.
The letter was passed by the cen
sor in spite of the graphic recital of
facts.
Kiev is the capital of Ukrainia, a
province of southeastern Russia

dence and has been recognized by the

CROWDER ANXIOUS.
This will delay the second draft, as
Provost Marshal General Crowder has
announced that they will not go ahead
with it until the law is changed.
At the time the minority report was
filed General Crowder was before the
senate military committee, urging
speedy consideration of the measure
and of another to require registration
of all men attaining 81 years of age,
since last June S. He appeared greatly
concerned when he learned that the
legislation was checked in the house.
~ ACTION BY HOUSE.
The senate has passed the bill to
change the basis of apportionment
and is expected to pass this week the
measure registering younger men.
The house committee already has
filed a favorable majority report on
the bill changing the apportionment.
A favorable report on the resolu-
ton already has passed the senate,
but will not be brought up in the
house until Secretary Baker returns
from Europe.
Representatives Gordon, Shalienber-
ger, Wise, Nichols, Harrison and Hull
joined in the dissenting reply, which
declared that the proposal would sub
ject ito the arbitrary will and at
thority of those in control of the ma
tion's military power the 5000 600
men registered, except only those tln-
conditionally exempt from the draft,
as fully and completely for all prac-
tical purposes as those already in
dueted into the military service."
Creates Favored Class.
"If congress-" the dissenters added,
''is prepared to deliver the bodies OF
these 100000 men into the hands of
the military authorities, without con-
dition or limitation. then it should
pass this joint resolution; if not, it
should be defeated"
Five democrats and one republican
constituted the minority, which
spared no words denouncing the reso-
luton as reputation of the princi-
pie of universal liability to service;
declared that it substituted the arbi-
trary will of the military and would
create favored class to feast on war
profits.
"It is sought" the minority report
contends, ito defend the grant, of
these unheard of powers by asserting
that the military authorities desire to
take for military service only those
who have not become articulated with
the social or industrial life of the
communities in which they are regis
tered; this rule, if strictly applied, ex-
cludes from the military service ev-
eryone but vagabonds and tramps."
