ing:
Il am satisfied that this is the
best solution of the aircraft diff

sions reached as a result of three
months of careful investigation of
the aircraft situation. 1t is in ac-
cord with the opinion expressed by
practically all the officers we have
examined. as well as the present
and former officials of the aircraft

II do not claim originality for the

will ever be possible to bring about
the high efficiency necessary to the
production of the great number OF
planes We need to win this war as
long as there Is divided authority,
and there is no getting away from
the fact that there is still divided
authority in the handling of our
aircraft program.

BOOTLEGGERS HAVE
DAY In POLICE COURT
Five Plead Guilty. Others Demand
ing Jury. Trials.

It was "bootleggers' day" in both
branches of the Police Court yester-
day. although Judge Hardison had
the lions share of these cases, eight
standing to his credit as against only
one for Judge McMahon.
OF these, five withdrew their former
pleas of not guilty and pleaded guilty
to the charges against them. all re-
ceiving heavy sentences; three de-
manded jury trials and were con-
victed, while the jury disagreed ir
one case and was sent back for fur
ther consideration.
All those who pleaded guilty were
colored. Paul Richardson was given
year in jail. fined 1900. with an.
other year In default of payment
thereof.
Ella Walker was sentenced to -four
months in Jail. fined $500. with the
alternative Of four months more In
default Of payment. John Fitzhugh
and Mamie Coleman drew like prizes,
George jackson was given three
months. 800 fine. and three months
additional in default Of payment.
Albert Duncan and George Cooper
were convicted.

white person charged with bootleg

Grogan was placed under arrest. and

diers were interned in Holland.
Losses in wounded. killed. missing
and prisoners brought the gallant
little army down to q total strength
of $1,000 at the battle Of the User
in October, 1914. Nine days after
the battle Of the User the Belgian
army .totalled only about 10000
men. Thousands OF wounded were
sent to England. a lesser number to
France to recuperate.
Escaped By Dutch border.
But now comes the most aston
ishing feature of the Belgian army's
remarkable comeback. Today the
army totals close to z50.00o men.
How was the army built up from
40, 900 to 250.000? Every wounded
Belgian able to walk upon his re-
covery was sent back to the firing
line. That accounts for many thou
sands. But the majority of the
men who compose the Belgian army
today escaped from occupied Bel
gium across the electrified barbed-
wire entanglements along the
IDutch-Belgian frontier.
The Belgian soldiers who retired
into Holland from Antwerp were
promptly inte9hed, but Holland, of
course, has been powerless to inferno
those civilians who escaped across
into her territory. Nurse Cavell, 1t
is now generally concluded. gave her
life to assist in the great under
ground railroading' of Belgium into
Holland. whence they were sent
across the Channel to England and
finally to the firing line.
Plenty Of Money.
Large funds were placed at the dis
posal OF agents in Holland to pay
the expenses of these fugitives from
the time they reached Holland on
their roundabout way to the Western
front.
Money also was sent into Belgium.
hundreds of thousands Of dollars. and
the Belgians Of military age were
rushed at night from one under
ground" station to another until
finally they reached the frontier. 1t
is rumored that many German from
tier guardsmen proved amenable to
liberal tips for every man they per-
mitted to escape acros the frontier.
By this underground route a vast
number of Belgians of the classes
of 1914 to 1919 have reached the West
ern front.

II POUNDS RAW WOOL
FOR SOLDIERS OUTFIT
Requirement Officially Estimated by
Quartermaster Department.

The War Department believes it
has hit upon a fairly accurate esti-
mate of the amount of wool requir-
ed for a soldiers equipment. At
the same time it points out that
many unofficial estimates have gone
wide of the mark.
The department figures that the
complete initial equipment, in nat
ural condition, grease weight,
weighs seventy-two pounds. The
clean and secured weight of this
outfit, however. is found to be only
thirty-one pounds. 1t is expected
that the rapidly developing recla-
nation service will appreciably re-
duce the annual renewal require
ments.
The articles OF clothing which
are included in the soldiers equip
ment as used in the foregoing esti-
mates are wool uniform, overcoat,
blankets. overseas cap, flannel
SHIRTS. wool gloves and mittens,
winter underwear, spiral puttees,
stockings, lining for leather jer-
kin and several smaller items.
