Loans To Our Allies

The United States has now loaned to
our allies ST, ,O9l, 500, 600. The advances
average about $4OO. 900, 600 a month.
These loans to our allies analogous
to lending weapons to our friends who
are aiding you in the defense of your
own home. The money is being used to
defeat our enemy, to maintain armies
fighting side by side with our soldiers,
and fleets patrolling the same oceans

LONDON To NORWAY AIR
MAIL To BEAT SUBMARINE

LONDON, May 25.-An aerial mail
route from London to Norway is be-
ing urged on the British government
by Norwegian officials.
Captain Gyth Delhi, director of the
seaplane works of the Norwegian ma
by, is in London to obtain aid from
England.
Mail and passenger traffic between
Norway and the British Isles has been
kept up during the war. Some lives
have been lost and considerable mail
has been sent to the bottom of the
ocean.
The average time for malls to
reach Norway from England is ten
days. This means heavy expenditure
in telegraphing and travelling. There
fore Delhi suggests an aerial mail
service which could cover the dis
tance in four and a half hours
Delhi would begin an aerial post
with two machines between Aberdeen
and Stavanger.

UNDER THE "COLD AND
CLAMMY HAND"

~ HE Salem Statesman is
VI talking about the ''indus-
trial disaster" produced
by the democratic tariff, the
advisability of the ''full dinner
pail" and a few other topics not
touched upon so very frequent
ly these days. Presumably the
Salem paper has in mind the
necessity of a tariff on wool.
The wool business has been so
affected by the "cold and clam
my hand of free trade" that
our growers now get but SO or
so cents a pound, under free
trade, whereas in the old pro-
lection days they did well to
get Is cents. It is in truth a
cruel situation the woolmen
have faced under the "hard
times" forced upon them by
Wilson rule. 1t is more than
time for old scouts like the
Statesman to rush to their aid.

TRUE TO FORM

~ HE Senate Committee on
VI Military Affairs runs
true to form.
Thursday the house commit
tee voted unanimously in favor
or "an army without limit, 4"
the President to draft as many
Imenas could be equipped,
trained and used until the sue
cessful termination of the
war" Yesterday the senate
committee adopted the Reed
resolution limiting the number
of men to be raised to 3,00O,-
900.
The fact that the President
favors the house resolution is
evidently a sufficient reason
for the senate committee to
adopt a wholly different policy
and restrict the size of the army
that is to be put in the field.
The committee seems to be far
more interested in fighting the
President than in fighting the
K Kaiser.-New York World.

EDUCATIONAL WORK IN
THE TRAINING CAMPS

~ EDUCATIONAL classes in
W the army camps form an
important part of the
work of the Committee on
Training Camp Activities.
This work is maintained with
the help of local committees.
One of the ways in which these
local committees are cooperat-
ing most effectively with the
camp forces is in the securing
of teachers of French and
other subjects. The men are
eager to prepare themselves
for the time when Somewhere
in France" they will meet the
men with whom they are to
fight side by side. The War
Recreation Boards in many cit
sies are making this possible by
providing teachers not only at
the camps but in the communi-
ties. Atlanta, Ga, for instance

THE COST is IMMATERIAL; !;
THE GOAL is EVERYTHING

"a MERICA observes Decor
II alton Day under conditi-
ons vastly different from
those of former days. Patriotic
service today is not a matter of
oratory, or of dreams or of
theory. 1t calls for deeds and
deeds that involve hardships,
devotion and self sacrifice. We
are all facing a test of steel.
The test will determine whe-
ther we are really worthy of

citizenship of the republic.
Whether we are ready to strive
and die, when necessary, that
the ideals of America be sus-
tanned. That test is being met
successfully and we are going
straight on to the goal we seek.
We don't know how long it will
take nor what the price will be.
Let us not count the cost, either
in money or in men. The end is
worthy of the price no matter
what it may be. Freedom and

there can be no alibi for vic
tory.
With the spirit shown by the

JOINT EFFORT
IN AIRCRAFT IS
PLAN OF ALLIES
Resources of U. S. and Allies
in Aircraft Production to be
Developed in Joint Program

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-An agree
ment under which the aircraft re-
sources of the allied countries and the
United States are to be developed in
carrying out joint program was ar
rived at during the visit to England
and France of Assistant Secretary
John ID. Ryan, head Of the army air
craft division.
Details of the plan necessarily may
not be disclosed. but Mr.. Ryan said
today 1t contemplated joint efforts,
both in aircraft production and in the
operation of the machines in battle.
So far as the operation Of the ma
chimes in battle is concerned, he ex-
planned that the supreme commander.
Marshal Foch, and the field command
ers, Generals Petain, Haig and Per-
shing, will continue to control the air
fleets, as they controlled every other
element of the armies under their
command.
The air supremacy of the allies is
already unquestioned, Mr.. Ryan said,
but without co-ordinated efforts and
co-ordinated command the centralized
German air fleet might be concen-
trated against American, French or
British squadrons in overwhelming
numbers for any short period.
Mr.. Ryan brought back encourag-
ing reports as to the service of Ameri-
can-built aircraft at the front. With
out exception, he said. where several
machines for the purpose are avail
able. the pilots select the De-Haviland
machine with the Liberty motor. He
said his chief difficulty with the
French and British air authorities was
to keep their demands for ma chimes
with Liberty motors within the limits
of production possibilities.
