appears still to be that made by Captain
Laureami last year, flying from Turin to
Naples and back to Turin. That was
920 miles.
1t is we'll to say, however, that all Of
these records are in some nature ac-
cidental. The fact that it has been i'm
possible so far to achieve nonstop
flight from Chicago to New York is
evidence of the fact. That is less than
1000 miles. 1t is obvious that there is
small chance Of crossing the Atlantic,
even at its mai rowest point until it has
been possible to do at least half this dis
tance good many times. If the Liberty
motor comes up to the expectations Of its
friends this steady stream of 'cross-coun-
try flights may soon be attained For the
present it is fairly certain that even
rough landings in country fields are much
safer than a forced dip into the North
Atlantic possible thousand miles at sea.

of trust and confidence. That is true, but
it is look too long ahead for those of US
who want to be sure of peace in the next
fifty or seventy-tve years The mere set
ting up of a League of Nations to which
Germany would belong could not establish
trust and confidence now. Conceivably it
might engender it in time, and undoubtedly
1t IS this the President has in mind when
he implies that Germany would be admitted
to the league on probation, as it were For
Mr. Wilson would apparently make the
League OF Nations what Mr.. Balfour specif-
ically declares it may not be, reforming
machinery" whereby Germany may grad
ually be weaned of her mistaken ways and
be brought to participate, a trusted and
helpful member, in the genuine concert of
the world

Comparative Wisdom

a little while ago Senator Weeks. of
Massachusetts. proposed the creation of
a joint commission, bipartisan in com
position, of twelve legislators, to consider
the after r-thewar problems of adjust
ment in the fields of industry and trade.
1t was to be responsible only to Congress
and was to be appointed by Congress.
The Administration has apparently an
swered this challenge by bill introduced
by Senator Overman, Of North Carolina
creating Federal commission on recon-
struction, to be appointed by the Presi-
dent. 1t would create five new vocations
at $4,000 apiece. If we could Judge
from the modest expenditures of the dis
tinguished Federal Trade Commission
also consisting of five vocations at S10,-
600 each, such commission would cost
anywhere from half million to a million
year.
But the cost would be slight if the
goods were produced. The postwar
problems are large and demand the con-
sideration of statesmen. AS to the two
proposals, the public mind will be divided,
we fancy. 1t will probably recall the re-
cent Senate subcommittee report on the
aviation situation as specimen Of Sen
atorial acumen, and on the other side,
probably, it will reflect upon the antics
of the Federal Trade Commission, which
seems chiefly munition factory for So
cialists.
We have had in the war tremendous
concentration of power in the hands Of
the Executive, utterly destroying the old
time balance Of power. This was inevi-
table. Much suggests that it was wise.
But after the war there WILL we hope,
come a strong and healthy reaction
against paternalism and the endless null
tipication Of Federal commissions.

ating alien property and making waste
Of alien countrysides, but we're also in
evitably carrying fire and sword into
German cities, villages and homes Fire
and sword have been carried there. The
past is irrevocable. But what the German
mind, awakened to an approaching peril
can easily understand Is that every addi-
tional German outrage in France and
Belgium will add to the terrible total
which the civil population Of the cities
and villages Of the Rhine country will
have to pay.
TIE German will yield to no argument
but terrorism. 1t is good policy, there
fore, to emphasize the purpose of the AL
LIED governments to exact complete ac-
counting for German savageres. Even
the German people may begin to shudder
at atrocities which must return to plague
them, agony heaped on agony, as soon as
the war shifts to German soil.

"Woman's Work"

If you are a man of fighting age or
working age, or an employer of such
men, there is a question mark looming up
in front of you that will grow larger
every day.
Is the work that you do, or the work
that you employ men to do, mans work
or woman's work? And the question is
not Of woman's work in the old sense,
either of the anti-suffragist or by any
pre-war theory Is it work that woman
can to-day do safely and efficiently? If it
is, the sooner it is done by woman the
better for the country and for you.
The law may not get after you, but
public opinion will, for the United States
Employment Service, acting through it's
community labor boards, is about to is
sue lists of occupations in which men
should be replaced by women According
to a recent bulletin of this department,
these lists probably will begin with these
classes:
Sales clerks and foorwalkers in every
sort IF mercantile establishment.
Clerical cashier and office stats in
mercantile, manufacturing and financial
houses and in the Offices of transporta-
ton companies and other public utilities
Walters and attendants
These lists will BE progressive in char
acter, reaching out to include new occu-
pations, until the nation is on a strictly
war basis.
Wide publicity will be given to these
lists Of "woman's work" The time to
escape their application is now. Every
workman can decide the question for
himself. So can every employer. The
time is approaching when such workers
will be classed and viewed as industrial
slackers. The employer who persists in
using such labor will be held not less
guilty. The sooner the nation realizes
what its duty is and acts the better.

The Committee Waits

The news that Stock Exchange
committee has launched a campaign
among some 1000 persons Of means to
make sure that their Liberty Loan sub
scriptions are all they ought to be
may jar the nerves of some sensitive, in
dividualistic souls. But it is the right
idea, the just idea. The more of such
community action the better.
We are reminded Of the Iowan sys-
TEN, as described graphically after the
last Liberty Loan campaign. There were
three committees in the city of Des
Moines-"mopping up" committees, they
we're accurately termed. Every effort
was made to find out what a man could
and should subscribe Then the COM
mittees called in turn as needed The first
committee was very gentle. The second
committee was not so gentle. The third
committee-welI, it failed of results in
only three cases in the entire city. we
believe
The Liberty Loan is simply one more
case in which the Individual must sur
render some Of his precious privacy and
independence that the nation may win
the war. Every man who is drafted
gives up incomparably more. Every
man who fills out q questonnaire gives
up much of his privacy. The men
of draft age, with much more than dol
lars at stake, have complied without
grumble-cheerfully, helpfully. Now it is
up to everybody with spare dollars to
make the same kind of sacrifice.
Take the requests for subscriptions
good naturedly. Treat every committee
respectfully. And remember that the
community has a right to ask and insist
1t has its quota to fill Patriotism must
be organized to be effective. Help, don't
obstruct, the hard working volunteers
of your business organization, your club
your street, your town.

Odell the Icernan

According to the verified and circum-
stantial evidence, Benjamin B. Odell, of
Newburgh, twice Governor of this state,
ever since last winter when he was ap-
pointed Ice Controller by Governor Whit
man, has been conducting the business
devoivlng on him in q manner to cause
widespread surprise. Under special
act of the Legislature the state became
guarantor, or underwater, in an ice
harvesting job amounting to about one
and one-quarter millions TONS This man
Odell went ahead and made an agree
ment with the icemen for the cutting,
storing and handling of natural ice
whereby the people of this city might
buy their ice at reasonable rates--the old
rates to families-and thus enabled the
Federal government to conserve am
monia used in making artificial ice for
the manufacture of munitions. The ice
supply was maintained through the ex-
tremely hot weather i'll July and August,
everything going on just as if nothing
ever had happened to the ice business.
And now that the cool weather is here.
and ice no longer is SO precious, what do
we find? We are informed that the un-
derwritirg by the state has not cost the
state dollar; and furthermore, this
Newburgh gentleman himself says it, of
the $4,000 appropriated by the state he
has spent only a paltry $4,000! Doesn't
Mr.. Odell know that conduct of this char
acfer is vnrv ,1rpol;+;c,1o

SO to Arrange the
Map of the World

This Is the purely economic considera-
tion. Mr.. Balfour, replying Informally this
week to Mr.. Wilson, repeats the larger view
of the English government toward the
League of Nations proposal, which has re-
Gently been stated with increasing distinct
ness by several of his colleagues. His words
are courteous, but there is no mistaking his
message. III you are going to bring into
existence an international machinery for
the securing Of peace you must so arrange
the map of Europe and of the world that
the great occasions for wars will not over
whelm you"
In other words, League of Nations can
only MAINTAIN peace when the possibility of
a war like the present is excluded. And the
possibility of such a war is excluded onlv
when nations like Germany can find no
opening for their lusts and ambitions.
The great stumbling block of an interna-
tional body which shall enforce peace now
is here, and observing men are everywhere
becoming more clearly cognizant Of it. We
can and must defeat Germany, but we can
not defeat her ambition, at least so far as
the vision OF any one of US extends. There
was day when we thought we could bring
about change in Germany's heart by the
lesson OF this war, but we have abandoned
that effort to God and His good time. We
are aware now that Germany's standard Of
right and wrong is the same to-day as it
was IN August, 1914; however much her
immediate expectations have changed, we
know that her desires remain unaltered.
Mr Wilson himself once said we could be
sure OK peace only when we had condition

Atlantic Flight as a Hoax and
Reality

The amusing hoax perpetrated in the
August number of Flying" and re-
produced as a serious matter of news
after its republication as an accepted
fact in the Proceedings of the Naval
Academy, is explained as a "mental
flight" only. 1t could scarcely have been
anything else, and its acceptance as a
reality again illustrates the element of
gullbility, to give it very harsh term,
which resides in our wish-thoughts
Every ardent aeronaut dreams nightly
of transatlantic flight. Mr.. Poor put
his dreams very wildly into words.
The hoax was perpetrated, it is stated,
in order to focus attention upon the
actual problem; and it brings some ma
terial for US to focus upon. In one Of
the De Haviland No. 9's, which but a
few weeks ago were bulletined to the
country as failure, civilian pilot,
Caleb Bragg, flew a distance of 430
miles, from Dayton to Washington, at
an average of las miles per hour 1t is
extremely difficult to say just how much
of record this actually makes Since
the war opened there have been no rec
ords officially recognized by the Inter
national Federation, and many exag-
gerated claims for speed and distance
have been made One of Americas most
conservative magazines actually printed
a picture Of an aeroplane which it
described as having made 500 miles per
hour No such fight was ever probable.
The pre-war record was that of Provost
of 1875 miles per hour. But this no doubt
has been considerably exceeded since
The prevailing winds, of course, make a
great difference in 'cross-country flights,
but we may probably look upon sus-
tanned speed of 15o miles per hour as
now attainable.
The largest type Of planes such as
would be required fer a transatlantic
flight could scarcely average much over
ITO miles per hour. That would mean
something like twenty hours or more for
the crossing. 1t is true that there is an
official record of twenty-one- hour
closed-circuit fight, before the war. But
the longest 'cross-country fight to date

Let Us Alone

'hrom The Philadelphia Erenino Ledger
Senator Thompson, of Kansas, visited the
grand fleet in the North Sea on August 20
and asked Admiral Rodman, the American
officer who shares re command with the
British Admiral, Beatty, what message he
wished to send home
Tell the Secretary" said Admiral Rod
man, I'VE have everything we need over
here and that everything is running per-
fectly smooth, and for Gods sake let US
alone!"
No more eloquent commentary on the ad-
ministration Of the Navy Department has
been made than is contained in the last six
words.

M hEtoIOEN1 w lGOON mas announced
his definite intention to establish
A the so-caled League of Nations as
the S5;ac qua non of peace negota-
tons with Germany. What he says amounts
to this: the United States will recognize
no peace which does not set up an interna-
tional organization to prevent war.
This is grave step; how grave we do
not yet realize. Our "co- belligerents" have
made no formal reply, though Mr.. Wilson,
Liberty Loan address specifically urged u
statement of their position. France is at
the heart Of the battle and even her news
paper editors have scant time and less news
print for the consideration of international
associations.
Il is different in England. Within the
past three or four months Official opinion
on this particular problem has been rapidly
crystallizing, and while no absolute rejec-
ton of the League Of Nations project has
been set down it has been made wholly
plain that the present government Is op-
posed to the idea. Grey, Lansdowne Hen

neither Asquith nor Lansdowne, Grey nor
Henderson are the present English govern
ment, the government which, now that sue
cess on the field of battle is showing talk Of
a general election to the background, will
probably conduct Great Britain through the
peace negotiations. That government has
already thrown overheard Britain's long ex-
