PROFIT ON WATER

Amboy for a water supply for Camp Raritan and for the base hOspi-
fal at Colonia, we said that the profit that we understood the govern
nent was agreeing to give the Middlesex Water Company was a
cent and a half on every gallon. This should have read. a cent and
a half profit on every 1000 gallons. Even at that, it is a neat in
come for a private corporation o water that Perth Amboy is going
to furnish. The point that we desire to emphasize is that if the Mid
dlesex Water Company is to be guaranteed a profit there should be
"a objection to Perth Amboy getting a profit, and in order to avoid
an actual loss the increased rate that the city will charge must be
paid for the water that is desired by the government.

u. S. Sailors Abroad
Want OwnCommander
Officers Dissatisfied Because
Briton Has Charge Of De-
stroyer Fleet
[Stof Correspondence ]

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Ameri-
can naval officers are dissatisfied be-
cause q British officer, Admiral Sir
Lewis Bayly, is the local commander
where tho United States destroyer fleet
makes its headquarters in Europe and
directs all the American as we'll as the
British units operating from that point.
Strong representations are being
made to Secretary of the Navy Daniels
that an American naval officer of flag
rank should be sent to take command
and that the destroyers should not be
under British direction.
While the number of American de-
stroyers abroad was small, it is argued
it was logical that they should work as
part of the British organization. Now
that the United States fleet has reached
considerable proportions and includes
some of the latest and best destroyers,
naval officers feel the time has arrived
for complete American operation.
Vice-Admiral William S. Sims has
jurisdiction over all American craft
operating in British and French waters,
but he is located in London as rep
rescntative of the Chief of Naval
Operations and has little to do with
the actual direction of the feet, which
is left to Admiral Bayly.

Flying School Losses
Useless, Says "Ace''
Lieutenant Flachaire, French
Aviator, Urges Stricter
Discipline at Camps

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Lieuten-
ant G. Flachaire, one of the French
'aces" recently ordered to this coun-
try to assist in the work of training
American fiers, gave Washington to-
day daring exhibition of the various
acrobatic maneuvres now deemed
necessary for successful solo work. He
flew SDad machine, the equipment
furnished French aces for their air
contests with the German champion avi-
atOrs.
General Pershing's fliers will have
similar machines for their solo work
over the American sectors of the bat
tie front
The French lieutenant, who Joined the
aviation service in January, 1915, spoke
to-day of accidents at flying schools
here and abroad.
"The losses in the schools are useless
losses,' he said. "They csn be re-
duced by strict discipline, ~ the use
of good instructors and by forbidding
acrobatic flights until the pilot has alb
solutely mastered his art"
The spad machine is the type selected
for American aces in France. Originally
contracts for many millions of dollars
in these swift craft were place in the
United States, but just as the manu-
facture was about to start General
Pcrshing recommended that machines
OF this type be secured abroad for the
initial equipment of his forces.
