St. Petersburg, April 1O.-Those
persons in st. Petersburg who are not

as the police here have been ordered
to arrest every man and woman

be construed as favoring the enemy.
Chief of Police A. ]. Casters said this
morning:
Il have told the police TO arrest
any man or woman who makes pro-
German remarks or who criticises
the United States or says anything
tending to help Germany or reflect
Oh the President or Uncle Sam. There
Can be no neutral; either a man Is

are for Germany and I propose to put
them in jail even If they are turned
loose later by some higher authori-
ties"

FIRE DESTROYED HOME
OF MRS. WILLIAM CHASE
TEMPLE AT WINTER PARK

Orlando, April 10.-The beautiful
home of Mrs. William Chase Temple
was Monday night destroyed by fire
from an unknown origin, and the
walls of the building are left intact
with also the greater part Of the
roof, the household effects are a to-
tai loss What the loss will amount
to has not been estimated. The
house was fully insured.
Just what the cause of the fire was
has not definitely been ascertained,
though all indications point to an
oil heater which was used as a hot
water heater in the basement and
which had been left burning. The
fire all came from this portion Of the
house, the floors in some room being
burned completely out, Though the
heater is intact, 1t has all the indica-
tions Of causing the con1agration,
was Chief Deans report.
The material loss had not been es-
timated at the time Of going to press
1t was Chief Deans opinion that
several thousand dollars would be re-
quired to repair the dwelling, while
Mrs. Temple would not place an es-
innate on the loss of her household
gods
The Temple home was widely
known for its costly furnishings, and
valuable relics many of which were
Invaluable to Mrs. Temple because of
their family ties. The late William
Chase Temple though a plain man,
was lover Of things beautiful. He
never stopped to consider the cost
when procuring articles for his home
and because of their association with
her husband the loss is all the great

MUCH SKILL GOES INTO
MAKING OF AN AlRSHIP;
LITTLE METAL Is USED
Reduction of Aircraft Manufacture to
Simplest, Quantity Production
Basis Has Been One of
Americas Trlumphs

Washington, April 10.-The time,
labor and material which go into the
making of warplane are set forth
by Lieutenant Colonel Hiram Bing-
ham, Signal Corps, U. S. A., In a
communication to the National Geo.
graphic society, a part of which Is
made public as the following war ge-
ography bulletin:
Let me try to depict by a rough
picture plane in the making. Sup
pose, for instance, you were set to
driving 1926 nails and 1877 screws.
Undoubtedly that would be quite q
task-a total of 1903 separate oper.
ations. Well, when you had reached
the 5000 mark you could truthfully
be told that you had done less than
two-thirds Of the work of this sort
required for single airplane. (These
figures are for training plane; for a
French battle-plane $4,000 screws are
said to be neded). Somehow a plane
looks so simple and floats so grace
fully through the air that we lose all
thought Of the skill that goes into its
making.
One of Americas Triumphs
Just recently we have received
figures of the material which Is re-
quired for one of the simpler train
ing planes. For instance, 921 steel
stampings must be cut out, 1893 forg-
ings cast and 276 turn buckles, all for
a single machine.
Think, then, of the hundreds Of
thousands OF such pieces needed for
the thousands Of planes in the Amer
lean program and how utterly hope
less the situation would be IL those
parts were not standardized, turned
out by machinery In tens Of thou
sands, and usuables in scores of diff
ferent factories on any kind Of plane
The reduction of aircraft manufac-
ture to the simplest, standardized
quantity production basis has been
one of Americas great triumphs In
the air and an achievement which
very soon will be making itself felt
"But metal must be used in an air
plane as little as possible. 1t is al
together too heavy, especially when a
few extra pounds make all the mar
gin In speed between victory and de-
feat An engine of 300 horsepower is
in itself enormously heavy to rise
into the air; so that the rest of the
machie must attnain the very acme of
lightness
THAT very lightness, however, en-
tails enormous strength and perfect
adjustment. Think of the strain
which Is exerted on every wire and
nut, every inch Of linen, and every bit
Of wood as this 3OO-horsepower mec-
hanism rushes through the air at $50
miles an hour. Cyclones often do not
go as fast and we can easily picture
