The following communication by
Robert Underwood Johnson, famous
editor and author and former resident
of Wayne county to the New York
Times, urges extension of the oath Of
allegiance to all civilian government
employees. and the roofing out of all
suggestion Of Prussianism In literature
and schools:
The general recognition of the fact
that, while military service is the SUI
preme sacrifice that one can make for
his country, a not less necessary serv-
ice in time of war may be rendered
by the civilian, leads me to suggest
that the oath OF allegiance to the Unit
ed States should be exacted OF every
one who holds office under the Govern
ment or is employed by It. In any de-
partment or class Of work. No one
who is not willing to take the oath
should be intrusted with valuable in
formation, or with the preparation or
care Of official records, or with the
manufacture of ammunition, military
equipment, or material for ships, or
with any other official responsibility.
A willful dereliction IN such regard
should be made treason in fact, as 1t
is treason in intent. 1t 1t be said that
this would greatly reduce the number

rumors that he went there in connec-

his business in England was in the in

of his name with peace rumors, he said
he was in entire accord with what For

ment on Monday, when he stated that
there was no representative of q
neutral nation in England for the pur-
pose of making suggestions of peace
negotiations.

Hamburg Liner Set on Fire
IS. S. Prinz August Wilhelm
Destroyed at Puerto Colombia

AN ATLANTIC PORT, May 9.-Trav-
ellers who arrived here to-day from
South American ports on the United
Fruit steamship GARLIC reported that
the steamship Prinz August Wilhelm
OF the Atlas service Of the Hamburg
American Line had been DESTROYED by
tire in Puerto Colombia on April %
by order of her German commander,
Captain De Wall.
The vessel was dispatched to Santa
Marta before the United States became
involved in war with Germany. When
the government took over all shipping
it acquired the interests of the Amer
lean brokers, and recently two repre-
sentatives of the United States Ship
ping Board went to Columbia to make
adjustments and seek to take over the
vessel as a transport. By arrangement
the date of legal transfer of the ves-
sci was set for April 23, but twenty
four hours before she was to have been
taken the vessel was burned by orders
of her master.
The German skipper, who with his
crew was put into prison, declared that
he had been ordered by his superior
officers to destroy the vessel.

According to the announcement
these new courses have been substitut
ed for the regular college work to give
the students a better opportunity to
prepare for the war service which it is
expected many of them will enter this
summer
Courses covering all branches of war
service have been included in the sub.
stituted curriculum. For the most
part the instruction will be in the
form of lectures by principal members
of the regular faculty of Teachers
College.
Special lectures will be given on pa
triotic propaganda, and instruction in
girl scouting, in war time play actlvi-
ties for young children, in club work
for girls and in French and German
conversation.
The decision by the faculty of Teach
ers College to compel all students en-
rolled in the school to take a two
weeks course in emergency service

among the New York universities and

Fliers Rescued After 18-Hour
Fight With Seas and Sharks
Steamship Picks Up Aviators and Broken Hydroplane
Sixty Miles Off Forida-Men in Good Shape
Despite Their long Exposure

AN ATLANTIC PORT, May 9.-Two
adventurous American airmen picked
up in a fairly heavy sea some sixty
miles east of the coast of Florida soon
after dawn on Monday morning were
brought here to-day on the United
Fruit Line steamship Sixaola, inbound
from Caribbean ports. They did not
look like fliers, as their togs of the air
had been replaced by nondescript ap-
parel of stokers, sailors and officers of
the steamship which had rescued them
and their unruly hydroplane from the
Atlantic. Both had been stripped of
their warm clothing in their eighteen
hour fight with wave and wind.
Apart from the exposure, the men
were in good trim, and on landing got
into communication with their superior
officers at Miami, who had missed them
since Sunday.
Started Flight on Sunday
The pilot was Arthur Laverents, a
husky six-footer, of Cheyenne, Wyo
He was accompanied by c. C. Cotton
his mechanician, who was ordered to
assist him in patrol flight for a speci-
fed course over the coast on Sunday.
The men left the field under favora-
BILE circumstances. Both had had much
experience in flights and were familiar
with their craft, but when the coast
became a mere strip to the westward
and the ocean was some 5000 feet
below their engine got cranky and
finally stopped They volplaned safely
and dipped easily in the trough Of a

soon the planes bent and slappe1 them
selves to pieces.
Nothing was left of the craft but
the air chambers and the engine, and
one of the former opened up and took
IN water. 1t was patched up a bit
by Laverents, but finally filled, and

but Laverents manage to lash him
aboard. The dismantled plane and its
occupants soon attracted sharks, which
followed them during the greater part
OF their perilous voyage.
Laverents said he expected they
would be able to keep" afoat perhaps
until a. m. Monday, but an hour
before the smoke of the Sixaola was
sighted. An alert watch on the bridge
caused her to change her course, and
within forty minutes from the time the
men were sighted she had boat low

line was made fast to the aircraft
and its occupants were taken into the
llfeboat A stiff pull for some twenty
minutes brought aviators and hydro
plane alongside the Sixaola, and all
were hoisted from the sea.
The damaged craft was put over
board at Quarantine to-day and taken
to the navy yard. Laverents and Cot
ton said that they would return to
Miami within a few days.

Important Part
OF War Machine

1t is almost inconceivable that the
war should go on without the active
participation of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee. This committee has
become an important part of the war
machine. 1t is in the confidence of
the Var Department and sees the
weekly reports of production. 1t in
vestigates, plans and reports, and its
plans in large part are adopted. Some
one has said that the chief fault of
the organization here now is that there
is no planning board. The Military
Affairs Committee comes nearer to
being the war planning board than any
thing else in Washington.
The so-called War Cabinet does not
plan. 1t merely acts as clearing
house. But the Senate Military Com
mittee plans. 1t planned a ministry
Of munitions, and somewhere between
Mr.. Baruch and Mr.. Stettinius there is
one. 1t became convinced that the
artillery programme was short. The
artillery programme, has been greatly
enlarged 1t said that the air service
needed reorganization, and suggested
the reorganization needed. That re-
organization was adopted. In a dozen
other ways it has proved the war plan
ming board. with no authority behind
it except the authority of public opin-
ion which it informs.
President Wilson's relations to the
war have changed since the memorable
Investigations OF last December began.
Before that date Mr.. Wilson was con-
Quoting the war, so far as it was con-
Quoted at ALL himself in camera. Now
Mr.. Wilson is the agent Of an informed
public opinion. He does what the coun-

WASHINGTON, May 9. - Senator
Chamberlain, for the majority of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee. in
troduced to-day a resolution empower
;,o the committee to continue it's in
,es.ipations while Congress was out Of
session.
The intention is, if this resolution
masses. to keep two subcommittee Of
the Committee on Military Affairs, one
IN airplanes and the other on big guns.
busy constantly following up these two
rreat war programmes. The sub-com-
mittees would employ agents and
Investigators to travel about the
country, visit plants and keep in
formed on the success of the new
now efforts that are being made to
build airplanes and guns.
Il is not known whether the Admin
;stration will fight this plan of the
Military Affairs Committee. Practically
the plan works out into a committee
an the conduct of the war. which was
once bitterly opposed by President
wilson. But it seems unlikely that
Mr. Wilson will object to the Chamber
lain resolution. He has just said that
the aircraft situation should be investi-
rated. And the need for an investiga-
ton of artillery production is exactly
as great.
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Audit and Control,
whose membership consists of SEN
ators Thompson, chairman; Jones, of
New Mexico, and Mcclellan, Democrats,
and Smoot and France, Republicans.
Senator Mcclellan votes with Chamber
lain and Hitchcock, so evidently the
resolution will be favorably reported.
Once it is on the floor the Military
Affairs Committee enjoys the conf
dence of the Senate to such an extent
that its passage is assured.
