Hot Air
Children

But the real offence of the Liberty
motor makers optimism. While the
Liberty motor was being born and the
war was being won by the pencil-and- paper
process, they went about like men pos
sessed Carried away by visions of the
tremendous automobile industry turned to
the conquest of the air, they trod on air
in those days. They were as boys Yin
great adventure.
Nothing was impossible. They knew
what they had done and were doing in
the quantity production of automobiles, and
they thought they knew to certainty
what they could do with the new motor.
They made estimates of production that
were about so per cent better than any,
thing they had done before and then
they let the official aircrafters make them
promise to beat their schedules by about
two months.
They fooled themselves and everybody
else. Their enthusiasm was Infectious
They communicated it to the War Depart
ment and Secretary Baker got it so bad
that he was still running on schedule long
after the motor makers had broken
through the smooth ice on which they were
deliriously skating and had come to in the
cold waters of the most difficult task thew
had ever undertaken

The Aircrafters Confess
By Theodore NJ. knappen

H/ASHINGTON, June 6.-"If en-
w th1siosm that outruns judg
ment, confidence that snrpasses
faith and aiming too high to hat high
enough are offences punishable by cap
atal punishment, call the firing squad.
We are guilty. We dealt in that kind
of hot an"
T WAS in Indianapolis, in the Nordyke &
l. Marmon Company's plant, and it was
Fred Moscovics, vice president of the COM
pany, who was talking. Like all the men
who have taken hold of the manufacture of
the Liberty motor, Moscovcs was in his
shirt sleeves fguratively and literally
speaking With him, as with all of them,
the Liberty motor is now the one object
and end of life. Overheard with automo-
biles and all ordinary business!
Moscov'cs is most genial conspirator.
He is one of the gang that got together and
conspircd to the Liberty motor for
selfish and mercenary purposes The plot
is little nebulous The central idea, how
ever, was to use the manufacture of air
craft in war as a means, with the aid and
connivance of the Signal Corps, to obtain
monopoly of the manufacture of them for
pleasure and commercial purposes after
the war. 1t was alleged that by practically
pooling their interests, ideas and inven-
tions, in order to give the government what
it needs now, the automobile consprators
would, in passing, form offensive and
defensive league that would hold the air
craft field against all comers Incidentally
they were delaying the production of Lib
erty motors and encouraging alterations
n fhn Of ,oto rio1 tl1% a.
their cost-plus contracts they would be able
to pile up great profits symboized by the
scrap heap, before getting around in
lcisurely fashion to the production of
motors For further particulars apply to
almost any member of the Aeronautical
Society of America or the first amateur air
craft "authority" you meet.

Washington and slapped the youngsters on
the back and talked about sending to Ger
many such plague of flying machines as
would make the swarms of locusts that fell
upon the Egyptians one-line item.
Uncle Henry" is one of the most dam
gerous of the conspirators Father of tho
Cadillac, which he had transferred to the
General Motors, five years past the allotted
span of life, his fortune made beyond all
danger Of attack, but obsessed of the
idea that the war would be won in the air,
he sped to Washington to implore the au-
thorities to give him a chance to build
motors.
Did he have plant? No, but he could
buy build.
Had he ever made air motors? No, but
he knew about all there was to know about
internal combustion motors.

Conspirators
At Random

On the strength of a verbal promise he
hurried back to Detroit and bought a
machine shop. When he got his contract he
began the erection last September of
colossal plant. Would the Signal Corps
help him finance this nest of the new
ancient law forbade. So "Uncle Henry"
appealed to the Detroit bankers, and in
September work began on the enormous
Lincoln motor factory. Lincoln struck
"Uncle Henry" as good name for a Liberty
motor factory. He is one of those old
fashioned Yankees to whom the Civil War is
still of some consequence. He is also of that
old-fashioned type of workman manufactur-
er that can't stay out of his shop.
Up and down the long aisles of his great
plant he "scoots" daily. He just loves
those beautiful motors-and he is Just a
little proud of the fact that, although he
had to build an entirely new factory, he
beat all the youngsters except Alvan
Macauley, of the Packard, to production.
And Macauley had quite start at that
Uncle Henry" is now headed for one
hundred Liberties" day
Macauley is another likeable conspirator
His mile-long plant is turning out
trucks galore for Pershing's army but he
has his being in the Liberty motor. Start
a sympathetic conversation with him on
Liberty motors, ana you can put on a dl-
rectors' meeting at any time. He shared
the optimism that split the aircraft eggs.
He has had to stand more of the grief
of the evolution and refining of the
motor than almost any other manufacturer.
1t on the 9th of last June that he
talked matters over with his chief engi-
neer, Colonel Vincent, and decided to send
him to Washington with plans of the
Packard flying motor as a free gift to Uncle
Sam. The next day Colonel Vincent and
Major Hall were plunged into the mo-
mentous five-day session. From that time
the Packard plant has been regular
Liberty motor laboratory.
Among the other "conspirators" are
Henry Ford, who cares about as much for
hundred million dollars as you do for
one, and Wills. his right-hand man. They
work so deep in the conspiracy that the
Signal Corps almost had heart failure
when Wills told them that by their
unique process" the Ford Company
would forge cylinders at 1925 apiece
when the corps had expected to paw not
less than $40 and then shoot them out at
somewhere around two thousand a day.
Then there is D. Mccall White, of the
Cadillac Company, who delayed quantity
production in his own factory to help the
others along.
They're all alike. Their enthusiasm got
them into hot water, but it has also got
them into successful production of the
Liberty motor
Hot air has some value 1t makes the i'm
possible seem attainable

What Kind of
Nation Are We?
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mere size is of no advantage to
fighter if it be made UP largely of fat.
lean man nay easily whip fat man of
twice his sire, when all of the lean mans
body eithe> fights or supplies the fighting
muscles, and half the fat mans body does
neither.
Mere size is of no ad d1antage to nation
at war if it be made up largely of people
who neither fight nor help to supply the
fighters with what they need. They who do
neither of these things are in effect mere
fat in the body polite.
war is won by the side which manages
to keep the most traine! men on the firing
line and to keep them best supplied with
the materials of war. Only that part of the
population counts toward the winning of
war which is either on the firing line or
supporting the men on the firing line by
keeping them supplied The rest of us are
not worth our salt, so far as winning this
war is concerned whatever other uses we
may think VIC have
Are we fat or a muscular nation? rs
every part Of our body polite working to
win the war. or is large part of it wasting
itself either in idleness or self-indulgence?
Are we wa asting large part of our man
power and resources in producing non-es-
sentials, and do those who are producing
essentials waste part of their own and
others time and energy in self-indulgence
by buying ncn-essentials Upon the answer
to these questions depends the answer to
another question of the most tragic i'm
portance. Upon it depends the answer to
the question: Are we going to be whipped
and made the subjects Of the unspeakable
Hohenzoller!, or are we going to stop for
ever his mad career of spoliation, conquest
and determination? The fate of the world
depends upon what kind of nation we are.

 Mr. ENJue gave facts concerning dolngs in the City of Madison with ref erence to La Toilette, and contended that the campaign against the sena- tor had been manufactured by the profltcerS and newspapers. He said that what was true Of Madison was true of Wisconsin and was true of the
 tnlted States. He pointed out that the resolutions adopted by the Wis consln school Superintendents' assoc iation had been framed by w. N. Parker of Madison and Superintendent Cook of Ripon, longtime bitter poli- tlcal enemies of La Toilette. He said
 that twenty members of the Com mercial Travellers association met and passed resolutions denouncing La
 Toilette. Seven voted against the resolutions And yet, said Mr Evjue, the newspapers sent out word that
 300 commercial travellers had de- nOunCed La FOylette
 MT Evjue also charged that Sena- tor La Toilette was expelled from the l Madison club through the efforts of Carl and Hobart Johnson, owners of a company that had made profits of S3,5000 0O0 in two years on a capitali- zation of $1,25O,0O0. MT. Evjue also denounced Roose- welt and said that La Toilette never had said things half as objectionable as had been uttered by the colonel" /" "The State of Wisconsin is on trial before the bar of public opiniorA' said MT. Donnelly. ''The people os this state and the people of the ma ton expect the legislature to give forcible expression of it's loyalty.

emblyman Thomas interrupted the speaker by saying, 'I did not ask what he is doing to do. l asked what has he done?''
 EVjue argued that the charges should be tried in the United States court, where the date for the hear ing had been set ten times, he said, but always postponed.
 Senator La Toilette is either loyal or disloyal," he declared. If dis loyal he should be kicked out of the senate at once; if loyal, he should have a fair trial
 FNjue then launched into a vitriolic attack on newspapers and magazines and on Madison citizens and institu- tions, and closed with a plea for sym pathy for the senator because of the critical illness of his son.
 MT. Evjue later prepared the follow ing synopsis of his address:
 "Assem blyman Evjue charged that money has been used in the City of Madison to further the anti La Fol- lette propaganda. He stated that a leader in the anti-La Toilette propa- ganda who has been i'll financial straits had been advanced enough to take care of obligations of $20,000 by

Publicly Repudldtsd by General
 Assembly of Own State

Madison, Wis, March 7-Robert M LaF oIette, once a power in politics in this state and the recognized re- IpBblfcan chdef, today stands stripped bare in front of his friends and po- 1itical enemies and publicly censured flor his attitude on the war in the iUnited States senate. After a long lbattle during which every political ] device known was used to prevent the public scourging, the house late yesterday, by a vote of 53 to 32. adopted the following resolution. which had passed the senate a week ago:
 The peop1e>of the state of Wis
 consin always have stood and al-
 ways will stand squarely behind
 the national government in all
 things which are essential to
 bring the present war to a suc-
 cessful end, and we condemn
 Senator Robert LaFolette and
 all others who have failed to see
 the righteousness of our nations
 cause, who have failed to sup
 port our government in matters
 vital to the winning of the war
 and we denounce any attitude or
 utterance of theirs which has
 tended to incite SeditiOn among
 the people of our country and to
 injure. Wisconsin's fair name be-
 fore the free people of the world.
 The special session of the 1egisla- ture, perhaps the, stormiest gathe erin g ever held by the Wisconsin lawmak- CTS, is practically adjourned.
 From o'clock Tuesday night until afternoon yesterday the battle over the IlaFolIette measure ragged in the assembly. Had it not been for Speak CT Lawrence Whittet and Assembly, men Peterson and Poole, administra- tion men, the nti-LaFollette crowd might have given up in the long hours of the night.
 The break in the deadlock, which Hhad been on since the first call of the house last Thursday, did not come until 9:15 o'clock yesterday morning when, at the suggestion of Speaker -Whittet, leaders of the two factions each chose a. committee of three tc confer in an .attempt to reach ar agreement.
 The state assembly reached its unaximfarm attendance of S6 out of LOG s1aanIbers Tuesday night. Being un der the call of the house, member swere not permitted to leave thu chamber Repeated roll calls failet to develop controlling strength ol either side up"rto II o'clock yesterda! nnorning. The~nrembers, weary iron Toss of sleep, appointed a conference committee of six-a republican, democrat, and q socialist on eacl side to find g, way to end a situation which was fast becoming intolerable The I.aFolHette wing obtained by th' compromise permission to introduce two amendments and 45 minutes fo each side for debate.
 Assem- bsyrnan Rosa's amendmen which would have made condemna 4ion of Ia Toilette. dependent on finding of d1sioyatty by the senate in vestigation committee, which has no yet reported, came within four vote of passing. Forty-one members voted flor it, 45 against. With it's failur,

Denounced As a, Peril.

The principal speeches were by As 'sembQyman Donnelly, democrat, of Milwaukee, Assemblyman Evjue, and Assem- Blynan Thomas of Villas coun- ty. Mr., Thoas. making his maiden speech, drew applause from the crowded gallery when he denounced the senator as a peril to the nation.
 The senior senator from WiscOn- sin has caused an impression to go out to the world that the State of Wisconsin and some of it's most i'm pOrtant officials are not in sympathy with the war;" he said. But the most important ons is none other than Robert M. La Toilette
 If any reflection has been cast on La Toilette, one of the foremost men Ct Wisconsin, such a man should think it at least worth considering. But he has made absolutely no de- nial Of the charges. He has been tried at the bar of public opinion and found guilty. I challenge any man to show any one thing he did to help the nation win the war.
 such men are dangerous to give uttcrance. to give comfort, if you will, to the enemy. If any man standing near you made an utterance which would give comfort to the enemy it would be your duty to knock his head off.
 We have heard a lot about pro Germans. The term has been misun- derstood to mean American citizens e German blood and sympathy. could go out and say things, or you could, but we could not get the people afire. We are not the idol that Bob La Toilette has been for years. That's why he is dangerous.
 Don't look alone to the Germans for propaganda. Right in Washing ton with not drop of German blood in their veins stand traitors. This man has been convicted. Charges have been filed against him, and, in the face of these charges, has he de- nied them or done anything to help this gOVernment?'
 Replying to Assemblyman Otto's statement that La Toilette had never defended his loyalty, Evjue, a La Toilette leader, declared the senator has filed three libel suits in Madison, two against neWspap pers and one against the Madison club, and was going to make them prove their as SertiOnS.
