FIFTH PLANE MAY ENTER
 B|GCONTEST.
Gigantic Airship of Zeppelin
 Type, but Larger, Also May
 Join Race for Prize Money
One Machine Already Being Assembled for Trans-Sea
 Flight and Others Building

LONDON, March 26.-(British Wireless Service. )-The entries for the aerial race across the Atlantic ocean for tn eprize of 10000 pounds sterling offered by the Daily Mail comprise machines of four companies, the WittaClG company, the Sopwith Aviation company, Short Brothers and the Fair Eyvalyn company. It was reported today that still another com pany would make an entry
 A Sopwith machine already is in Newfoundland, where it is being as. sembled. It is of special design, intended solely for long, swift flight It is constructed to carry large sup ply of petrol and will require little else. An ingenious arrangement on tie top of the fuselage provides means of escape for the pilot and navigator should the machine come to grief.
 The surmise here is that the pilot will start his flight as soon as his machine is ready and the weather is propitious and that his companion, who is a skilled naval officer, will mark the course by the steamship lane sacross the Atlantic to the Irish coast
 This flight will be, to a large ex- tent, sporting effort and far more interest is being taken in the plans for crossing the Atlantic for commer- cial purposes and the conveyance of passengers. The air ministry is con cerned in some of the plans now be- ing matured and there may be sur prise from tte navy.

COPENHAGEN. March 26--By the Associated Press. )-The Deutsche Zeitung of Berlin has published num- Der of letters illustrating the attitude of the German emperor and the crown prince during the Hateful days of last November, says a dispatch from the German capital.
 The emperor wrote to Frederick William or November the following:
 My Dear Boy-After the court chamberlain informed me that it was impossible longer to guarantee my safety at main headquarters and that the troops were no longer trustwor- thy, I resolved, after a severe mental struggle to leave the army, which had collapsed and go to Holland. I ad- wise you to stick to your post until the conclusion of an armistice.
 Tn Berlin two governments under the leadership of Liebnicht are fight ing against each other. I hope to see you again in happier times.
 Your faithful, deepiy afflicted fa- ther. WILHELM" The crown prince, on November Il, wrote to Premier Ebert, asking per mission to remain at his post so that he might bring back his army in a we'll disciplined and orderly manner.
 In his letter the crown prince pro ceeded to justify his attitude against those representing him as a war in stigator and reactIOnary. He de clared that he had always taken the standpoint that the war for Germany was a war of defense.
 T had long pleaded with General Ludendorff," he asserted, for a wise peace by understanding under the ia vorable opportunity when we occupied strong positions during and before the spring offensive Nevertheless. wheI the great event hurled my father from his throne, not only was I not heard. but was simply passed over as the crown prince and heir to the throne"

U.S.COURTS MARTIAL TO BE REVISED
 BY BAKER
Whole System of Military Law Practice and Legal Proced- ure May Undergo Change All Records of Previous Cases
 Placed Before Committee
 to Make Advisory Study
Ry Revtew Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON, March 26.-Plans of the war department for alteration in courts martial procedure were the subject of the first conference held by Secretary Baker upon his return today to Washington from an inspec- tion trip. The secretary met with N. Gregory of Chicago, and Judge Andrew J. Bruce of the University of Mime sota, members of the American Bar association committee appointed to make an advisory study of the whole question of military legal practice and procedure.
 Mir Baker after the conference said he had placed all the personnel and records of the judge advocate gen. erals office at the disposal of the com mittee. He said that in addition to the formulation of recommendations they had been Asked to call attention to any individual cases of injustice that might strike them in reviewing court martial proceedings.
 Probe Being Conducted
 The secretary had no comment to make as to what he planned with re- gard to publication of the reply sub mitted for his consideration by Lieu tenant Colonel Ansel of the judge ad- vocate generals department, to stase- ments by Major General Crowder, judge advocate general, previously giY- en out through department channels.
 One element of the controversy tlas has arisen over the military legal sys- tenn is the investigation being con- ducted at the secretary's order by Major General Chamberlain, inspector general. Mir. Baker said he had not seen General Chamberlain and did not know whether that investigation had been completed. From other sources it was learned that the inspector gen. eraI probably would not finish his work for some weeks.
 AnselI Attacks Chamberlain
 The only copy of Colonel AnselPs re ply known to have reached any one outside the war department was that furnished by Acting Secretary Gro well to Senator Chamberlain, chair man of the military committee of >the last senate.
 When Senator Chamberlain made public the text of his telegram to Sec retary Baker demanding that the An sell reply be given out for publication there was circulated among newspa per representatives at Washington z statement saying among other thing; that Ansell had attacked Genera Chamberlain and other high army of ficers as "reactionaries" in the testI mony he submitted to the senate com mittee. The statement led to the be lief among officers at the war depart ment that Colonel AnselPs reply t' General Crowder raises objection t the assignment of General Chamber lain as investigator of the contro Versy.

into the noble tasks of our own

After eulogizing Daniel Webster
and other great Students of Dart
mouth, he continued eve now stand
face to face with a new riddle of The
sphinx. The question i, propounds
is one that we must answer if free
government is to survive. ThGt
question is how are the masses Of
men and women who labor with their
hands to secure out of II e pr)-
ducts of their toll what they will feel
to be and will be, in fact, fair re-
turn? Until we can answer that queS-
ton we shall have no peace, and if We
fail to answer it, we shall have rev.
olution.
"The question is not one that faces
America alone; it faces Britain; ~
faces France; it faces Italy; it has
torn Russia into pieces. Let Us hope
that our own country may be the one
to find the true solution of that riddle
and thereby bring safety and free
dom to the people of all lands,
"Our safety can only be found in
policy that treats all men as breth

of their labor; all Equally entitlc -
