For An Aircraft Minister
Chew and choke!

Following the disclosures last spring
plane production and the wild mass of
rumors and charges which grew out of
this situation there was a strong demand
for the unification of the various boards
and bureaus concerned, whose conflicting
views and countervailing authority had
contributed SO much to bring about the
nations deep disappointment The re-
suit was the selection of Mr. John D.
Ryan as the head Of the division for pro-
duction and Major General William L.
kenly, chief of military aeronautics, as
the head of the technical side. 1t was
the public's understanding that under the
new arrangement the cooperation of
these two men was all that was neces-
sary for the termination of the endless
delays, disappointments and differences
which had wellnigh brought disaster to
the aeroplane production and that with
these two men in agreement the vast
aeroplane programme might go rapidly
forward
1t appears from the testimony of the
Senate's subcommittee, now published,
that this was not the case. Apparently
much of the initiative and a practical
veto rested in a third department, name
ly, in the hands Of General Pershinr. or.
to speak more precisely, the aviation
department Of General Pcrshing's staff.
That there has been serious lack of CO.
operation and understanding among
these three divisions of authority is made
sufficiently clear by the testimony Of both
Mr.. Ryan and General Kenly. We have
heard much Of the famous cable message
concerning the De Haviland fours which
we're sent to Europe signed by General
Pcrshing, and originating presumably
among certain members of General Per-
shing's staff. This cable message, 10000
words long, now spread upon the record.
points out various defects in 'planc
structure, armament. etc, and states that
"the synchronizing gears are entirely use
less" and "the Liberty motor is dcfcc-
tive" This message has been widely used

Chew and Choke

August, fifty-four years ago, was
time Of panics and alarms among the
politicians. Lincoln alone saw things as
they were. A matter of especial diff
Guilty was the draft of half a million
men which had been proclaimed on July
Is. Politicians, fearing the effect upon
the election, begged the President to
withdraw the call or suspend operations
under it. Cameron and Chase advised it.
Judge Johnson, of Ohio, reports that he
was with the President when commit
tee came from that state to request him
to suspend the draft until after the
elections, and that Lincoln quietly an
swered, what is the Presidency worth
to me if | have no country?"
1t was in this hour of darkness that
Lincoln wrote the following dispatch:
Executive Mansion, D. c.,
august II, 1864, 1920 A. NJ
"Lieutenant General Grant, City Point,
Va: have seen your dispatch express
ing your unwillingness to break your
hold where you are. Neither am | will

New-York tribune., 1918-08-27

Senate's investigation was conducted
largely by Senators very hostile, and IN
the case Of Senator Reed rabidly hostile,
to the Administration, and especially to
Secretary Baker. But it would be deep
ly regrettable if this fact should bury
what real good or gain might be derived
from this inquiry. No one can dip into
the confused jumble of testimony Of
fered without terribly disheartening
impression of governmental enterprise
IN general and in the matter of the
aeroplanes in particular 1t has been
failure due to warning heads of CO.
ordinate departments What would we
think of the proposal to have two or
three Presidents with equal authority,
two or three Secretaries of War and the
Navy, and so on?
We hope the President can now see
his way to recommending the immediate
creation Of Department of Aviation,
with a single head having absolute au-
thority on both sides of the water. 1t is
evident from the Senate committees in
vestlgation, as we'll as in other ways,
that he already possesses admirable ma
teral for that post.

Germany Threatens Spain

Spain has informed Germany that she
intends to replace her shipping lost
through Uboat activities by seizing in
termed German tonnage. Cermany's re-
ply is characteristic. 1t is threat in
stead of an offer of adjustment.
1t is inconvenient to Germany to guar
antee the safety of neutral shipping.
Therefore she demands that Spain sub
nit to the further destruction of Spanish
vessels at which submarine commanders
take shot without caring whether they
fly a neutral flag or not.
Berlin cherishes the hope that Spain,
having expressed a wish to maintain
neutrality, will 'really remain neu-
trail The neutrality, of course, must
be all on one side. Germany's military
necessities" do not permit her to observe
her obligations to neutrals Yet Just for
that reason neutral nations ought not to
cease being patient, accommodating and
obliging.
But how about Spain's own "neces-
sities"? She needs her shipping to keep
herself supplied with food and raw ma
terials. That doesn't bother Germany.
The Kaiser holds it to be utterly pre-
sumptuous for any neutral nation to have
necessities" which clash with German
military purposes.
If Spain seizes German shipping Ber
lin warns that diplomatic relations will
be broken off! AS if that could niurc
Spain! Possibly Madrid will politely
call Berlin's attention to the fact that
under the relations now existing between
the two countries Spain is giving every
thing and getting nothing.
Spain is preparing to enter into
closer commercial association with the
United States. This will be mutually
beneficial. Will Germany declare war on
Spain for thus pursuing her legitimate
national interests? Maybe she will Her
own logic compels her to do so.
No neutral has anything to hope for
from Germany. And no neutral not ter
ritorally contiguous has anything to
fear from Germany
Germany is alone in the world She
has alienated every possible friend, ex-
cept possibly Mexico and Venezuela.
She will 60 down to defeat alone. Yet
there are still some Germans who wonder
what is the matter with German policy

School Lunches
70 the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
NIR: There is little doubt that the
school luncheon idea, now well rooted
W. in this country, will spread very rap
idly, especially in cities. The reasons
why it should are easily understood. In our
large cities and smaller industrial towns
many children come to school having had
little or no breakfast at very early hour,
some as early as or 6 o'clock and so be
come hungry and faint before the noon
hour. These children should have light,
wholesome luncheon in the middle
of the forenoon. For there is nothing
to eat at home if they return there at
the noon hour Those children who find
food at home ct the noon hour find it cold
and must eat it alone Father and mother
and the older of the family in the shops
or in the mills. In the smaller towns and
in country communities many children
live far from school they cannot go home
for luncheon and return within the time
allowed. They must therefore go without
luncheon or eat cold. unsuitable food
brought from home in baskets, buckets or
paper bags. Others who do so home for lunch
can do 50 only by running home, bolt
ing their food and Fastening back TO school.
In many places in which the parents and
older members of the family return home
for the midday meal it is inconvenent to
adjust the mealtme to the convenience Of
the children in school. In some cities and
towns the school day begins at $50 or Q
o'clock m. and continues until 1:30 200
or $3.50 p. m. with one or two brief inter
missi ions, usually of only fifteen minutes
each. Where this practice obtains many
children 90 without food until the school
day is over and then go home to cold
luncheon, eaten rapidly and in such order
as it be had, losing altogether the
social value Of the meal. have known
many school children whose daily schedule
of meals consisted of very light break
fast at or 7 n. m, cold dinner bolted
at or p. and supper at 6. Again,
many parents, instead of providing lunch
con for their children n school give them
small amounts Of money with which TO buy
food. and which the children spend for un-
wholesome and unnutritious stuff sold at
large profits from pushcarts and n corner
stores.
These conditions should not must not
continue. Tho remedy seems to lie IN
the we'll managed school luncheon. which
can be made wholesome, educative and saw

Soldier and Poet

To the Editor of The Tribune.
sir: The first man of letters in the
American army to give his life to the cause
of human Freedom was Joyc Kilmer. poet.
author and lecturer Mr. Kilmer was
man OF widely varied attainments and of
an unusual modest personality. He was
far more than all this, kindly, unselfish and
considerate Of others, and a helpful and
sound counsellor to those who aspred to
literary work; and | can name many who
owe their advancement as writer's of both
prose and verse, to his untrng interest
and encouragement
The writer, nearly decade ago, was as
sociated with Joyce Kilmer as co-editor of
the Standard Dictionary. We worked MANY
months together, and | must say | never
found more lovable companion or man
of loftier ideals than this young poet. who.
though only in his twenty-second year at
the time, was regarded by the many able
members of the staff as youth destined
to make his mark in literature
And Joyce Klmer did make his mari, &C
fascinating prose writer and melodious
versiicr; but no one ever dreamed that
this modest, kindly youth had down deem
in his heart the instincts of heroic SOL
dicr-who loved world liberty and died
for it.
To close in tribute to his memory Il
may not be out Of place to cite two stanzas
from his friend, DR.. James B. Kenyon:
NAMELESS GRAVES
grateful heart of the nation, keep
Their memory green forever
Our laureled dead who softly sleep
by many winding river
Where whispering pines and sunny palms
Above each grass-grown grave.
Recount through bright and prosperous Gains
The great deeds of the brave
Shall we for whom they freely shed
Their blood like rain on flowers
Shall we for whom they nobly bled
Forget these knights of ours p
Who fought and fell where shot and shell
Ploushcd through the lists of death
And as it were the mouth of He'll
Upscnt its whthering breath

heavy local defeats and an ever mount
ing wastage in men and material. He is
not inflicting greater losses upon Foch
than he is suffering; on the contrary, his
losses are far more considerable and the
morale of his army is breaking down
under steady rdreats-not a single re-
tirement like .hat after the Second
Marine, which was orderly and left his
soldiers with tie sense of a strategic
movement, but retreats after local de-
feats, each Of which increased the de-
preston and pessimism of his army and
increased the sense of superiority felt
by his foes.
We have still to keep our feet solidly
on the ground, oespite the amazing turn
of events and the ever growing magni-
tude of our successes. The decisive
stage Of our campaign, or our offensive
of this year, has not yet come. 1t can
not come until tie battle for the Hinden-
burg line begins That battle may begin
at any moment, but if it does it will be
on new fields, north of Arras or east Of
Rheims, or in both regions, thus recall
ing the double thrust of Champagne and
Loos in 1915. In q word, Ludendorff's
centre is now that beaten host retiring
upon the Hinde1burg line, which offers
it a possible rdlying ground. But in
the nature Of things an Allied attack
upon the fank', turning the Hinden-
burg line and aoolishing the position to
which the beaten centre is retiring in
manifest disorder, is the stroke to be ex
pected. If it cones, then it will be fol
lowed by real disaster, for the beaten
centre will then have no respite short
Of the Meuse, ani this means a new re-
treat without am chance to reorganize
and rest.
All now depends upon two things, the
extent to which the centre can be harried
and demoralized before it gets to the
Hindenburg line snd the ability of Foch
to strike on the tanks and thus abolish
the German line il France from Lille to
Verdun. A more interesting and more
critical fortnight than that which is be-
fore us is impossible to imagine. More
than this, recognizing how futile is fore
cast at such tine, we can yet see that
events are at least tending rapidly tow
ard producing a,other Leipsic, not
Sedan or even Jena, but Leipsic, a
defeat which threw Napoleon back into
France and settld the fate of his ten
years struggle for the supremacy in
Europe.
Watch the flalsis, keep track of the
prisoners and guns taken by contrast
pay relatively little attention to ground
gained in front Of the Hindenburg line;
this is the advice all military commenta-
tors are giving to-day. The present
hour is the best since the war began for
the Allied cause; it holds out great
present possibilities, it insures ultimate
military decision Ner the enemy. abso-
lutte and unqualified.
