THE TRUTH ABOUT AIR FIGHTING

II1HEN you hear people talking Of dark.
W enins the sky with airplanes, Of drop
ping a bomb on every square yard of
Germany and of flying 10000 superplanes
across the Atlantic next spring to blow
Berlin off the map keep your head.
Lucian Cary in an article in Golfers
last week. pointed out one very simple and
lucid fact that is TO be kept in mind in
any calculations concerning airplanes
The De Haviland plane Ia British model
equipped with the Liberty motor seems
to have been adopted as the machine for
quantity production in this country There
are now four large factories tuned up for
rapid production of the De Haviland
planes: the Wright plant at Dayton, the
Fisher Body Corporation at Detroit, Cur
tiss at Buffalo and the Standard at Eliza
beth. Mr.. Cary. after careful investiCa-
ton, believes that these four plants could
produce $4,000 planes between now and
next June. But the point, tersely is this:
We can build more planes than we can
ship, and we can ship more than we can
fly. and fly more than we can land
Three squadrons of fliers eighteen ma
chimes to a squadron need field neari2
"
sixty machines to a field, Mr. Cary says
and third Of square mile to a field and
it would require more than 800 fields to
land 10000 machines That is more than
100 square miles of level space just he
hind the front lines. How many .aborers
and how much time would it take to fin6
300 such fields and level them The ulti-
mate check on darkening the sky with
airplanes seems to be the space to land
them in
Let us remember, also. that thu De
Haviland plane eats UP thirtyseven gal
Ions of gasoline per hour If we ne to
have 10000 planes, or even 10000. We
snail nave to do something about the
gasoline supply. Will those who talk
loudest about darkening Berlin's horizons
with planes step forward and lay off their
pleasure cars?

and careful men between the event and It.
Now, when you stop to think that news
papers are, as time goes mere infants. in
the world not two centuries old, while their
distinctive world-cable service is matter Of
two or three generations. and when you
further reflect that befare the advent Of the
newspaper service news was carried more
or less in the manner have described, the
story often progressing from mouth to mouth
like al sticky SNOWFALL rolling down hill. you
can begin to realize more clearly than before
perhaps, of the reasons why today the
world is much smaller than it MAS. En-
agserated stories, runors, half facts, often
no knowledge at ALL make for ignorance,
misunderstanding and national isolation.
Accurate and swift world reporting makes
for increa sed understanding wider interests,
the breakdown of national isolations. One of
the effects. of this war, for instance. has
already been a greatly Increased amount OF
real European news printed in America. with
consequent tremendous increase of Ameri-
can interest In and knowledge of European
affairs. This is going to continue We are
going to see organs in America which viii
not only give US European news, but the
tendencies and currents of European
thought And it will all be bringing world
federation a little nearer, something which
could never have been hoped for so long as
news had to travel by word of mouth on the
wings of rumor.

THE DRIFT ETERNAL
By Crontldnd Rice
Lieutenant, I5th Field Artillery, A. E. j:

THERE'S long dull hike down dusty.
L crusty road, '
And you wonder how they are back
home;
There are fifty pounds Of packing for In
afl.day load.
And you wonder how they are back home;
There's billet may be waiting where the
floors are bare.
And night wind lashss from the raw.
damp air,
But you never think about 1t and you
never seem to care, =
AS you wonder how they are back nome.
You've finished up your ranging with your
guns in place,
And you wonder how they are back home;
The ghostly darkness settles and the rain
is IN your face. Il
But you wonder how they are back home;
You've sent along your orders through the
shadow and the rain,
And the guns have barked their message
to the Hun across the plain,
But the echos hardly settled to breath !
= Of refrain, k
Till you wonder how they are back home.

GOOD FROM EVIL

MExIco, the one country on this side
AVA of the world that has remained stub
bofn!y under the spell Of an arthcially
inspired pro-German sentiment, is show
ing signs of an awakening. President
eCarranza is. expressing an ardent desire
aor more sympathetic relations with the
Htnited States. The labor leaders in Mex
No are heartily supporting a plan for a
5dlQt convention of Mexican. and Ameri.
can labor representatives, proposed some
time ago by the representatives of the
American, Federation of Labor.
Mexico is seemingly disposed to follow
the lead Of South America, which is just
perfectins a speaking acquaintance with
Z the United States. And most of the noo.
pie In the United States are only now be-
coming aware of the size Importance and
high potentiality of Latin America.
Victories other than those of arms are
being won by the United States. Pan
Germanism, when it is wiped from tie
world, will leave one good result behind it,
That will be a sound and progressive
Pan-Annericanism.

FIVE DOLLARS DAY WILL DO IT

TAPrAIN MILLS, acting superintendent
~ Of police says he does not know what
can. be done to prevent the men from re-
signing. They are leaving the force at the
rate Of four or five day. Five hundred
have already resigned TO secure employ
ment at better pay. The policeman's wage
ID not high enough to keep the men on the
{ force save in the case of men who have
only a few years yet to serve before re-
tjr1rg on a pension.
y The difi1culty can be removed as soon
- Councils decides to give the policemen
IS q day. That is living wage. 1t will
attract intelligent and loyal men to the
force It will increase the self-respect OF
every patrolman It will do more than
any other single thing to take the police
out of politics by filing the force with
men who are too independent to do the
dirty work for any ward boss. And it
would fill the eligible lists with men walt
ing for appointment, so that whenever
an officer dies or resigns his place could
be Allied over night. We could then have
I police force big enough for the needs OF
the city. instead of 500 men too small. as
at present.
