causing us to decentralize our ef-
forts to put down the submarine.
His object is to frighten the Amer
lean people in the hope that they
may exert their influence on their
naval authorities.
You will remember that Napo-
leon declared that 'exclusiveness of
purpose is the secret of great sue
cesses and OF great operations. Now
if the Germans could cause a dis
persal of naval forces this demon
stration off the American coast
would achieve its purpose.
Must Control Seas.
Il hold firmly to two principles.
AS chief of the staff, | believe firm
ly in decentralization in admins
tration, but as chief of staff, | also
believe as firmly in the centraliza-
ton of effort against the enemy.
! think it was Admiral Mahan who
said that the great end of a war
fleet is not to chase, not to fly, but
to control the seas.
Now, with that statement in
mind glance at an ordinary school
atlas, II you have not got what the
Germans would call war map
handy. You will observe that the
powers have formed a block in Eu-
iope running down from the North
Sea to the Adriatic and to the point
where the Dardanelles debouches
into the Mediterranean. ANY sub
marine to reach the American coast
has to pass either to the north or
south of the British Isles or along
the Mediterranean where Gibraltar
stands sentinel over the narrow
exit.
Atlas Is Illuminating.
That atlas is illuminating. 1t
indicates sound strategic methods of
dealing with the submarine cam
paign. We must fight the U-boat
IN the narrow seas. In other words,
we must centralize, concentrating
all our forces in what is really the
decisive area.
The Germans. you NAV be sure.
have been studying the charts and
in sending one of their so-called
submarine cruisers to the American
coast they thought to raise an out
cry in the United States against
the policy which is now being pur-
sued of fighting the submarines in
the narrow seas.
well | judge both from official
information and cable dispatches
in the newspapers that they have
already failed in their purpose.
1T looks IS though they had
merely brought the war home to
the American people, reminding
them in this dramatic way that the
seas are all one and that they have
common interest with us and the
other allies in conquering the pow
er which invented this modern form
of piracy. That represents another
defeat for Germany"

for these fatalities as having been
caused by "cramped space which
the men have to fly in and has asked
whether 1.-The supervision of our av-
iation camps is in the hands of Off
GERS who know their business
Only small percentage of the
fatalities have been caused by col
lision and other causes were of va
rious nature which were beyond any
government control" says Plane
News. The ma jority of instruction
centers have outlying fields, where
men in the various stages in train
ing are Quartered.
The officers in charge are as
competent as can be had. Many are
West Point men of long military
training and nearly all have become
expert aviators themselves. They
know, if anybody ever will, the dan
gers of flying and the necessary pre-
cautions to take.
Tight places" are bound to con-
front every pilot in the course of his
training and are the finest exam
pies in the world if the aviator is
able to navigate the danger with sue
cess, for it gives him the needed
confidence for similar experience in
the future. Safe flying is largely a
matter of intuition, which sense can
only be acquired through constant
practice of long duration.
The training of an aviator, from
the beginning, assumes practically
the same dangers as actual service
in the air at the front, which is not
the case in the training OF any other
branch in the service. Therefore
it is little wonder that the loss of a
few men in training should stir the
public to believing that carelessness
has had its part in causing the
losses.
The machine pilot begins on is
safer than each succeeding machine
he is taught to handle and it is sig
nificant to note just what training
will do for the flyer. For instance,
the casualties for the mos, part
come when the pilot is operating the
largest and safest planes. Few cas-
ualties are recorded of the lighter
and faster types, which are excee!1
ing hard TO handle and susceptible
of the least wrong move on the part
of the pilot.
considering that in practice
there is practically the same danger
element as there is in flying at the
front, the percentage of casualties
is very low in comparison to the
great number of flyers in training,
Were the actual figures made known
OF just what is being accomplished
in daily flights, landings, mileage
and acrobatics, surprising facts
would be revealed as to just how
wonderful progress is being made
in American aviation with such lit
tie loss"

PREPARE TO CHECK
FUTURE HUN TRADE
Plan to Meet Industrial Aggression
After War.

After War.
Washington, June l5-While the
allies are engaged in the struggle
with German autocracy, the prob
lem of meeting industrial aggression
after the war also is receiving at
tention.
France is debating regulations to
compel registration of nationality
by manufacturers and trades peo-
pie, so that the nation which has
borne the brunt of the German as
sault may not unwittingly send gold
to provide funds for another war.
Italy has issued decree requiring
declarations of nationality. Others
of the allies countries are discussing
similar measures, despite opposition
in some official quarters to anything
savoring OF an economic war after
the war"
German duplicity and intrigue re-
vealed in the last four years have
strengthened fears in European
countries that Germany may at
tempt to market her goods when
peace comes by means OF masked
exports" giving the impression
that they originated elsewhere. OF
fetal dispatches, quoting financial
writer's, say that it is to be expected
France for some time after the war
ends will be dependent upon i'm
ports, because the most important
industrial districts have been devas-
tated by the invaders and in order
to prevent unwilling buying of enc
my goods, three measures have been
suggested, as follows:
Ito establish personal regis
ter.
2-To establish a trade register.
3-To demand the national mark
put on all goods imported into
France.
With regard to the personal reg
lister, it is the intention to make one
for each community, containing the
names and addresses of all the in
habitants, their birthplaces and the
names of their parents. All store
keepers shall hang in their shops
sign plainly stating their nationality.
On the basis of this personal reg
lister, a trade register shall be kept,
as in Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Switzerland, Hungary and
Germany.
There is no intention of boycott
ting German goods. Economists
have pointed out that such step
would be a senseless thing to do
and the intention in France is only
to control the German imports and
to keep them within bounds so they
will do no harm. To that end the
French syndicate have suggested
that it be made obligatory for all
imports to bear the national trade
mark of the country OF origin.
Writers in neutral European
countries have pointed out that such
international protective system
would do away with all suspicion
regarding the origin of goods, make
access to the big markets easier and
protect them against being monopo-
lized by the more powerful states.
Germany is not missing any op-
portunity to prepare for business
after the war, plans in the making
including one of such tremendous
proportions as a canal between the
Black Sea and the Baltic. The Lu-
beck Chamber Of Commerce has re
ported that the canal would shorten
the transportation of petroleum
from Batoum to Hamburg by 5000
kilometers, new markets for German
goods would be opened and Russian
products could be obtained by Ger
many at much cheaper price than
heretofore.

ONE more WOMAN
ON HONOR ROLL
Mrs. Kathrina N eli m a n
Finds Proof of Her Right
to Citizenship in Musty
Old Records.
GOES BACK FORTY Five YEARS

Mrs. Kathrina Neiman, $50 Broad
street is entitled to place on the
"Roll of Honor" of Kenosha She
has refused to have her name on the
list of "German Alien Enemies of
the nation and on Tuesday she applied
to the police to have her named re-
moved from that list and brought evil
dence to show that she had a right to
claim the title american Citizen. -
Her proofs Of citizenship have been
forwarded to the United States Mar
shall from this district and it is ex-
pected that within a few days she win
be officially permitted to give up the
card permit which was issued to her
and take her rightful place as a citi-
zen under the Stars and Stripes.
Mrs. Neiman is the widow of the
late John Neiman. When the call was
made for the registration Of "Ger-
man Aliens she had no proof of her
citizenship and she was one of the wo-
men registered in Kenosha. She had a
hazy memory that some where more
than forty years ago her husband had
been made citizen Of the United
States but she could not find in his
papers any proof of this fact. The
family had lived in several places in
the East and Mrs. Neiman promptly
started search. Tt was finally re-
warded when search of the musty
naturalization records at Dunkirk, New
York, revealed the fact that Mrs. Nei-
man had been made citizen Of the
United States by the naturalization Of
her husband in Dunkirk. The papers
had been issued to him way back in
1874, forty five years ago, and she
brought to the police on Tuesday an
affidavit Of the officials at Dunkirk
showing that the papers had been pro-
perly issued and that in keeping with
the provisions Of the Federal law Mrs.
Neiman had the full right to claim
protection of the United States as a
citizen. Mrs. Neiman was overioyed
at the success of her search. Since
the beginning of the war she has been
active in war work aud she resented
deeply the fact that circumstances had
placed her under the list Of fallen
enemies. = The police will see to it
that her status is corrected at once
and that her name is removed from the
list which has been hateful to her.

Monkeys Valuable Discovery.

A literary discovery has just been
made at the monastery Of Mekitaristra,
in the island of st. Lazarus, at Venice.
A pet monkey had climbed to the top
of bookcase, where it seized hold of
a bundle Of papers, and breaking the
string, showered down a number Of
letters, the ink of which had become
yellow with age. They proved to be
a long correspondence between Lord
Byron and the monks Of st. Lazarus,
with whom he had once resided.
