says the Popular Mechanics Magazine
"A rear-end crash of two so utterly DIFF

congruous. And yet this is precisely
what occurred not long ago at an avi-
alton field near Buffalo, N. Y. The
steam roller was being used on the
turf when an airman attempted to
make landing. In doing this he either
micalculated the relative positions OF
his craft and the heavy roller, or be-

FLYERS End Strike.

During the recent strike Of mechan-

Coventry, England, a fleet Of army air.
planes flew from their aerodrome in the
west of England and circled over the
town. scattering through the streets
thousands Of leaflets appealing to the
strikers to return to work. Later In
the day a chaplain attached to the
naval air service in France flew from
the front of Coventry in a seaplane, ar
irving with an appeal from the men Of
his air squadron to the strikers to 60
back. The strike was settled the fol-
lowing day.

CHAPTER XII.

From the manner OF the room CLERK
Lydia inferred that tine name Of Thad-
deus Craven was well esteemed by the
management of the Great Eastern. Nor
was this impression at all modified by
the rooms to which she was shown-a
suite so complete and luxurious In ap-
pointments that its appeal was strong
to the sybaritic strain with which
heredity had endowed the girl.
Toward six o'clock she dropped, worn
out. into an armchair beside an open
window In the living room. YEARLY
the girls eyelids dropped. 1nsensibly
she drowsed, drifting into sort of
halfwaking nightmare. wherein she
with her father waged incessant war
against powers Of darkness, shapeless,
featureless, inscrutably malign-

succeeding, caught together the gap;

Abruptly Lydia found herself on her
feet, a low cry shuddering in her
throat, aware that the room was ablaze
with light, that she was no longer
alone. Then, calming, she realized
nothing more terrible than Craven's
return.
He stood near the center of the room,
staring, evidently at loss to account
for her agitation, his face slightly
flushed yet lowering.
"Well7" he demanded sharply. "What
the deuce is the matter with you1"
"You-you startled me-" she fall
tered with tremulous smile. Il must
have fallen asleep. waiting for you
and then had horrible dream"
Craven's look swept her from head
to foot, captious and ugly. "You
haven't dressed" he said-meaning
that she hadn't changed for dinner.
"Been asleep long?"
'"Why-some hours. presume. What
time is it7 It was just sunset, the last
I knew"
"After nine O'Clock now. Then you've
had no dinner?"

"Yes." Craven eyed her curiously
for an instant. "Yes, 1t was stolen,
right enough, and a clean-cut Job. II

,ial it has one Of the largest national pop
ulations in the world. It has great cities
agriculture, armies and seaports. But the
system doesn't seem to thrive. Lenine
and Trotzky considered it proper to take
German money and use this money to
bring about its own ends, even TO the dis
ruption Of the doners. They were con-
tent to make their nation dishonorable

would do this to Germany It would do it
to America or any other nation. Thus it
becames trustworthy as neighbor; GER

MORE AIRCRAFT ANXIETY

We do not assume that Capt B. B. Lip
sner, who has just resigned as superin-
tendent Of the aerial mail service, Is the
Judge Of all the law and evidence in the
matter Of charges against aircraft. 50
far as it relates to him and his immediate
associates. But Capt Lipsner, In resign
ing, has made charges that mesh pretty
well with the reputation Of our aircraft
establishment and he has at least suggest
ed danger that is best avoided.
We are giving the aircraft bureau and
the p0st0ffice department the benefit of
the doubt when we admit the possibility
OF personal considerations having enter
ed into Capt. Lipsner's resignation. And
our experience has been that neither air.
craft nor postoffice department is entitl-
ed to much doubt. The records are pretty
clear. But aside from any possible con-
alterations, there remain the allegations
of new waste and of incompetent techni-
cal men. These charges are not new, and
Caut. Lipsner does not astonish us with
his statement. The Hughes report went
!, much further, and we presumed the ma
ton was entitled to change Of condi-
tions based on the showing Of incompe-
tence and neglect.
Capt. Lipsner says he opposed the pol
Icy OF spending money needlessly for
special airplanes and also the obvious de-
lays that would result from the employ

mail service. If his charges are true, he

BRINGING THEM HOME

It is instinctively American that when
Job is to be done the immediate American
business is to do that job; the task at an
end, it is time to set about something else.
Sometimes the great popular urge is hind
cred by Official precauti0ns--b but present.
" the team leaders perceive the inconsis-
tency Of straining against the national
load and so accelerate their speed.
There are perhaps some very interesting
sentimental reasons why our soldiers
should remain in Europe and participate
in the allied advance into the German
neutral zone; but there are some strong
practical reasons why the return of the
soldiers should be expected. Broadly
spca'ying, the men have wound up the job
4 n they set themselves. They went
at it with zeal and uncomprpmising vigor.
I'n remains to be done such policing as

affair because, the policing once done, the

Americans face long and arduous trans

or any group Of individuals has had a
better chance, wider stage, or great
err choice Of properties with which to dem
onstrate fitness than the Bolshevists. And
they seem, in vulgar locutioa, to be pet
ering out.
Lenine wants to- toss the archives in
the waste basket and quit. Trotzky wants
to tarry and see what happens. The Ger
man soldiers, far from throwing the dou-
BILE eagle into the discard and adopting
the crimson standard, are ignoring the
soviets and supporting what they con-
ceive to be responsible government. There
have been several twilights affecting the
ocratic solar systems, but none, we opine
will be less murk than that which envel-
ops the violent tumult Of Bolshevism.
Recognition Of men or movements Only
follows success. Heretofore there has
been much unexpressed feeling that ex-
IRENE radicalism might perhaps have
some virtue, but being restrained lacked
the opportunity for demonstration and
complete proof. Most men are fair mind
ed and are not ayerse to giving every
thing and everyone chance to make
good. And thus our extremists have urg-
ed as their chief source Of validity that
they have not had a chance.
No one can deny that Bolshevism in
Russia has had its chance. In raw mater
