A Toxic, Japan, dispatch says: ia
pan holds herself responsible for the
maintenance of peace in this part OF
the world and consequently, in the
event of that peace being endangered
to the inevitable detriment of our in
terests, the government of Japan will
not hesitate to take the proper meas
ures."
Passengers aboard a trans-Pacifc
liner which arrived at this port from
the Orient brought details of the cap
ture by Chinese troops of the Man
churian city of Harbin. "The Chinese
commander" it is stated, walked in
10 the office of the Bolsheviki COM
mander and very promptly killed
him" Some fighting followed, and
at the close OF hostilities the Chinese
troops had driven the Bolsheviki sol
diers from the city.
In a dramatic three-hour speech to
the senate Senator Chamberlain, the
chairman of the military committee,
replied to President Wilson's state
ment that he had distorted the facts
in charging that the government had
broken down in its war preparations.
He declared the president had grossly
maligned him, and not only defended
but emphatically reiterated his asser-
tons made in a recent address at New
York He said the president did not
know the truth, and that he did.
Americas foreign trade surpassed
all records in 1917, amounting to $9,-
17S,000,0O0
An unofficial embargo on all
freight except food, fuel and muni-
tons practically is in effect east OF
the Mississippi and north of the Ohio
and Potomac rivers, as a result OF Dl-
rector General McAdoo's authorized
embargo on three eastern trunk lines.
Although the restriction was applied
formally only to the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore and Ohio east Of Pitts
burg and the Philadelphia and Read
ing, other railroads have accepted lit
tie freight, particularly if it was des-
tined for eastward movement.

There never has been a similar body
of men to lead as clean lives as the
American soldiers in France, General
Pershing said in a cablegram to Sec
retary Baker in reply to inquiries as
to the truth of reports of immoderate
drinking among the men.
General Pershing informs American
mothers that they may rest assured
that their sons are credit to them
and to the nation and they may look
forward to the proud day when on the
battlefield these splendid men will
shed a new luster of American man
hood"
The freight embargo will probably
continue until milder weather permits
railroads to begin to move the great
quantity of general freight accumulat-
ed during the period of winter storms,
sleet and snow.
To reduce railroad mileage in haul
ing Of coal some sort of a zone system
of coal distribution probably will be
put into operation. Plans for such an
arrangement have already been dis
cussed.

From Ell Paso, Texas, comes. the
news that forty angered Mexicans had
crossed the Rio Grande in the south
ern part of FL Paso. Soldiers and po-
licemen armed with rifles were rushed
to the scene. After firing several hun
dred shots the MeXicans retreated
across the river. A company Of Unit
ed States troops on guard at the Santa
Fe street international bridged fired
at the retreating Mexicans, but 1t is
not known if any were hit.
A Virginia, Mimi, dispatch says that
a squad of deputy sheriffs departed for
the north woods to cooperate with O
detachment Of the Fourth Minnesota
regiment in preventing threatened
outbreak among timber workers. Rum
bings of disorder followed recent dis
tribution of l. w. w. literature printed
in Seattle through lumber camps be-
tween Virginia and the Canadian bor-
der.
Division of the country's bituminous
coal fields into twenty districts as the
first step toward instituting a zone
system of coal distribution is under
way BY the fuel administration. The
boundaries for seven of the districts
already have been established and
Fuel Administrator Garfield has nam
ed a Representative in each.
With the aid of the railroad admin
istration, the fuel administration will
soon define consuming districts, each
to be supplied from one of the pro-
ducing districts.
No advance toward peace is seen
here in the speeches made in Berlin
and Vienna by the German chancellor
and Austrian foreign minister upon the
war aims of the central powers. For
NAL comment was withheld until the
texts are put out by an authorized
German agency.

aries, and permit an increase of ad-
mission rates to "help defray the ex-

A universal seven-hour day during

To Do Work Like That of Land
BattIeships.
MUST Protect THE IAsIRPl LAME
Problem of Construction Still Far
From Being Solved-Experience Has
Proved Necessity for Building Ma
chimes That Are Able to Defend
s-lnfIuence on Morale OF
Troops Is Great.

The construction of aerial tanks, or,
to use the technical term, armored air
planes, that will accompany the IN
:fantry in the air just as the tanks so
forward on the ground, is being con-
sidered by the French aviation author
tiles. The Germans have been using
airplanes Of this type, recognizing the
value of this aid to an attack by infan-
try.
These machines, being necessarily OF
considerable weight, cannot fly very
fast and are useless for scouting or
fighting in the air with enemy planes.
But the effect on the morale Of troops
of airplanes flying over the heads OF
the foe, pouring into their ranks VOL
levs from machine guns, was amply
demonstrated in the battles in Elan
ders. when British and French observa-
ton and fighting planes abandoned
their legitimate functions and took
part in the infantry attacks. Being OF
the lightest construction and wholly
unprotected, they were easy marks Tor
rife and machine gun fire.
Must Protect AirpIanes.
To utilize to the utmost the airplane
in connection with the infantry the
protection of the craft by means Of
light armor is being considered. This
principle may be also applied to other
classes of planes. Today French tac-
tical aviation possesses the best multi
place machines.
The Breguets, the Samsone, the Cau-
'dron. R-H are of the greatest efficiency.
But experience has demonstrated that
artillery observation machines are nev-
er safe from attacks Of the enemy
fighting planes, no matter how vigilant
are the escadrilles, whose duty it is to
defend them. This fact has made it
evident that it is necessary to build
machines that are able to defend them
selves.
The problem of construction is still
far from being solved. 1t is necessary
to have specialized planes for recon-
naissance, photography and artillery
regulation, and there must also be
planes for infantry liason and trench
attacks.
Requirements Of Service.
The first class must be able to fly
high and fast; the second, that accom-
pany the infantry, must crawl and go
slowly. To crawl at low altitude
they must be armored, otherwise they
are quickly doomed to destruction.
Armored planes existed in 1914, and
even before the war, but little by little
they have disappeared.
On days Of attack the French pilots
are forced to fly for hours at less than
500 feet from the enemy trenches,
filled with machine guns. For several
months the Germans have employed
an airship of the Junker type, entirely
made of metal, all of whose machinery,
motor and guns are protected by a
shell-proof armored covering. They
are thus able in the very face Of enemy
infantry to attack without much dam
ger to themselves. It is to meet this
emergency that the allies are now con-
sidering the building of aerial tanks.
