Coordination Lacking
In Shipping Machines

Production shipped the machines to
France with neither trained mechanics
nor accustomed avators with them.
The aerenautical division had not
favored the De Havilands at the start.
Pcr5ning's aviators and m chanics were
instantly critics, almost inimcal critics,
instead of friendly ones. 1t was up to
them to show the producers that they
knew few things. SO they, probably
mostly second lieutenants, who have
much to learn, sent microscopically
minute complaint sheet across the At
lantic with Pershing's name signed
to 1t.
Had military acronautics and produc-
tion aeronautics been knitted together
under one head, the first De Havlands
that went to pershino would have been
accompanied by aviators who knew and
loved them and by mechanics who
understood ind championed them. In
stead, they went like orphans unat-
tended. They were new to the me-
chanics and strange to the flyers. The
former found some new things, and
found them wrong; the latter got
bumped because they didn't know how
to fly and blamed the machines instea
C themselves.
Thus fine product got an awkward
introduction and bad start in France
when it was of the utmost Importance
that it should have had triumphal
entry. ldentically the same thing has
been done in this country as between
Dayton and Mineola, and you can go
out to Hampstead any day and hear a
lot of boy aviators and uninformed me-
chanics abusing the De Havilands,
whereas the veterans who have been
flying them and tuning them up are
eNuberant in their delight over them.
In other days for General Brancker,
high British official, to give out ad-
vice as he did in New York would have
been considered an international dis
courtesy, amounting TO an affront.
Now the Allies are so closely united
that it is permis ssble for Brancker to
say by virtue of his position what our
own officers would be disciplined for
saving

Separate Executive Body
Suggested as Remedy for
Widening Breach
Advice of British
Expert Is Approved
Lack of Coordination Is
Blamed for Criticism of
New Planes
By Theodore Nj. Knappen

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-It is ad
nitted by the best Informed and most
ludicious men in the aeronautical SER
wees that Major General w. S. Branck-
or. controller general of equipment of
the British Air Ministry, was emphati-
cally right when he said in New York
Sunday that all departments of the
American air service should be united
IN separate executive body connect
Cd with neither the Navy nor the War
department.
The recent reorganization of the
American air effort resulted in cen
trslizatlon of authority and response
blilty for production for the army, but
did not include the navy, and actually
enforced complete separation of mill
tary aeronautics and personnel from
production. The general situation,
therefore, is that our aircraft affairs
are even more decentraized than they
were before.
The navy runs its acronautics to suit
itself through three independent bu-
Ieaus. Military aeronautics and per-
sonnei are directed b. MaJcr General
kenly, and John D. Ryan is at the
head of production and engineering.
Ryan has nothing officially to do with
naval aircraft. In fact, he has nothing
10 do even with Kcnly. Neither can
react upon the other, except through
the Secretary of War. who has other
matters to attend to, and neither of
them can get at the navy except
through the Secretary and the Presi-
dent

and Bavarians everywhere fought
In accordance with their training,
discipline and traditions. but were
outwitted and outfought.
To the north of the farm, up the
long slopes leading to the woods, the
Americans encountered the tiercest
exhibition of Germany's war sci
ence. The Germans laid down a bar
rage which, it is said, was as heavy
as had ever been employed. The
American guns replied heavily.
The order for the advance came
and the line moved forward across
the grain fields directly through the
barrage. On nearby hillside the
chief staff officers watched the oper-
alton. They saw shells fall, in some
cases leaving long gaps in the line
but the troops never halted.
Charge Into Barrage
On through the barrage the
Americans went into the German
positions, attacking fiercely the ma
chine gun and infantry detachments
The barrage died away, the Ger
mans leaving the work of resistance
to the men they had failed to pro
tect with their heavy guns.
The Germans were "mopped up
and the Americans held their new
line just east of the forest. Not
many prisoners were taken, but here
and there few were rounded ur
and brought in. Sergeant Louis
Loetz, of Sioux City, contributed
fourteen. He attacked eighteen Ger.
mans who had become separated
from their command, killing four OF
them and capturing the others.
Awful execution was done by the
Americans. Eight captured Guards
said they were all that remained o1
a company of eighty-six. Yesterday
their number had been reduced te
thirty and lieutenant. Today the
lieutenant and all but they were
killed.

Breach Developing
In Air Forces

The most serious result c: the di-
vision of the work, however. is in the
breach that is developing between the
flying personnel and the production
department. Being officially divorced,
they are naturally tending to divorce
themselves in all respects. and the di-
vorce is developing into a quarrel. The
division of military aeronautics sought
to control engineering as distinct from
production. The production managers,
Of course. would not stand Tor that,
and the fiers were forced to content
themselves with flying. Being in their
own isolated camp, they are coming to
look upon the production men as their
natural enemies, and the production
men begin to feel that the ficrs are
born trouble makers and carpine
critics.
War IN the air is so different in ma
tcrial, personnel and methods from war
ON lard or sea. and has grown to such
colossal proportion, that every argu-
ment that separates the army from the
navy would separate aerial military or
ganization from both.
But it is felt that even if the navy
be allowed to keep its own aviation
force and programme, including pro-
duction. the separation of the fighting
division Of the army aviation from the
production division, in the sense that
there is 40 common head OF the two
divisions who is ar aviation man and
nothing else, is wholly indefensible,
and bound 20 be a continuing source Of
weakness and ultimately of a break
down.
The foolish alarm that has bccn
,aised over our De Haviland 4's because
d few bolts were too long or a wire
wrapping was too short. or there was
tco much grease or too little. or screw
was used where there should have been
y bolt. etc, is direct result of the gap
between production and flying.

Quidde, historian of the University
Of Munich, in the Bavarian capital.
German Chancellor von Hertling is q
Bavarian and was formerly Bavarian
Prime Minister
Professor Ludwig Quidde was a dele
gate to the goth Universal Peace Con-
ference at The Hague in the fall of
1913. In moving before that confer
ence a proposal for gradual disarma-
ment, Professor Quidde severely blamed
Germany for the increase in ornaments

for the action of Germany.
The professor Heron" mentioned is
probably Professor George D. Heron,
formerly of Grinnell College, Iowa.
Nearly Y twenty years ago he came into
prominence in the Western United
movement of socialism which swept
that part of the country He came to
be known as the GEL Mahdi" of the
Western Socialists. His radical views
and teachings were the cause of his
withdrawal from Grinncll.
Professor Heron was divorced from
his first wife. His subsequent mar
riage to Miss Rand, the daughter
Of the founder Of the Rand
School Of Social Science, which
was carried out without any of the

to his expulsion from the Congrega

tion of man from all law, either re-
ligious or civil"
Since 1912 Professor Heron has lived
in Europe. After the outbreak of the
war he began attacking pacifst policy
and pacifst morality in the leading
journals of Europe. He is the author
of numerous books. His work on "Pro-

De11ounce German
Policy in Ukraine
Situation Arousing Discord
With Austria, Says Gus

LONDON, May 10.-Gcrmany's East
ern policy, particularly respecting the
Ukraine, has again been criticised
sharply in the Reichstag Main Com
mittee, a Central News dispatch from
Amsterdam reports. Gustav Noske, So
cialist, asked for further information
regarding the status of affairs in the
Ukraine and protested against con-
tinued interference by Germany in the
domestic interests Of that country. He
said it was impossible to conceal the
existence of discord between Germany
and Austria over this situation.
Matthias Erzberger, Centrist leader,
protested against what he called the
German military dictatorship in the
olic party) did not accept responsible
ity for Germany's present policy there.
"Today We have a military dictator
ship in the Ukraine, under the Hetman
Skoropadski, who is unable to gain
the support Of the Ukraine ministers"
Herr Erzbcrger said He proceeded to
tell how the Rada had been suppressed
by a German officer entering and call
ing for "hands up" in the name of the
German government.
Hugo Haasc, the independent Social
ist leader, asked why the Russians were
stiil being treated as enemy aliens.
Herr Noske, besides dealing with the
Ukraine and pointing out that the gov
ernment had up to the present refused
to state why German troops were ad-
vancing ir the Crimea, referred to the
regime of violence in Esthonia and
Livonia, where the censorship, he said
was suppressing the truth. He con-
demned the military domination Of Po-
land and the plan to force the Firms
to accept German prince as their
ruler. There had been bargaining be-

WASHINGTON, May 1o.-An official
account of the escape of Americans
