NAVY PLANNING
SUPREMACY IN AIR
Extensive Experiments to Be Made
Experts Will Study-Technical
Advisers of Secretary Daniels
Will Be Busy While in
Europe.

Washington, March 14.-Defnite
plans for extensive experimental
work with air craft are being worked
out by the navy general board and
in their conferences abroad with Of
ficials of the British, French and Ital-
ian admiralties, Secretary Daniels
and his three chief technical advisers
will give particular attention to air.
craft development. Congress later
will be asked to make a special ap-
preparation for the necessary expert
mental work.
Mr.. Daniels personally confirmed
this outline of the navy's plans be-
fore he left today for New York en-
route to France. He will be Joined
tomorrow aboard the u. S. S. Levia-
than by Rear Admirals Robert S.
Griffin, chief engineer; Davis W..
Taylor, chief constructor, and Ralph
Earle, chief of ordnance, who will
make the trip with him. He expects
to return by May 1 after visiting
Paris, London and Rome. The three
admirals will confer with European
experts in their own lines and visit
shops and dock yards where guns,
engines and war craft are under con-
struction.
'It is our purpose in the navy to
keep not only abreast of aviation in
the FUTURE" Secretary Daniels said in
reply to question as to the part air
craft developments will play in the
conference overseas, "but to lead the
way in the development of this new
art. Under the whip and spur of con-
ditions, much was accomplished here.
The Liberty motor lis the most strik-
ing instance. 1t is still unrivalled in
it's own field-that of a high power

duction in quantity. That was our
war problem, production-and we

out the Jack. He wouldn't have made
it if he hadn't required his opponents
to "discharge" face up, from which
it began to appear that he knew a
few things. Having been brought up
in the profession among crowd OF
gentlemen, he felt it was impolite, to
say nothing else, to suggest to his
opponents that game be counted in
the open, but he soon learned that
if he were to stick to his practice
along this line it would be necessary
to count an ace as worth seven, and
to let the other side announce their
game first. But with all he could do,
he couldn't keep them from stacking
the cards on him. In fact, it is be-
lieved by some people that his part
ner played with the other side.
The results of the game in the
morning being somewhat disastrous,
the professor decided to stay over
until afterwards and choose his own
partner for another sitting. Having
read about President Stark of the
Greenville Street Academy in the
Press and Banner, and knowing that
he learned how on Rocky River, and
besides was a good mule trader, he
was called into the afternoon session,
and when all was ready Prof. Goth
ran pitched the first ball, whereupon
Uncle Jim knocked home run. But
somebody told about having reported
to the Internal Revenue Collector the
payment of a sum of money to d
gentleman who had forgotten to men
ton it in his return, and another
gentleman began to count up the
amount of taxes which people hold,
ing two and three years crops of
cotton would pay next year, including
excess profits taxes, surtaxes, and
just plain old taxes, all of which
completely bamboozled Professor
Wilson's partner and caused him to
wobble to such an extent that the
visitor went home a beat man. He
did not leave, however, until he. had
threatened to return and to bring a
partner along whom taxes did not
concern and who could watch the
other side and count the game at
the same time, and who, he knew,
would back him TO the end. He is
done with. town partners. :

war behind US, our problem is to ad-
vance the science Of air navigation,
to explore every avenue of possible
development; to build better, faster,
safer aircraft from year to year as
we build better ships for the navy.
For that purpose we must devote our
selves to orderly experiment in peace
times. We must keep in touch con-
startly with what other nations are
doing, profting by their experience
and sharing with them the benefit of
our own.
During our stay in Europe we will
talk with~admiralty experts on air
craft. Admiral Taylor, who is the
navy's representative on the aircraft
production board is already widely
experienced in the designing and pro-
duction of aircraft for our own fleet.
He will organize and direct the ex-
panded campaign of aviation expert
ment on which the navy is embark
ing. Abroad Admirals Griffin, Tay-
lor and Earle will have the aid Of
Capt. Craven, fresh from intensive
war time experience with aircraft.
The subject of aircraft development
was fully reviewed y the general
board this week with the three ad-
mirals who are accompanying Secre-
tary Daniels. Information and sug-
gestions will be cabled back to the
board in order that plans and esti-
mates can go ahead here without de-

 The Russian delegation arrived at Brest on February 2S. No further negotiations took place. The Russian plenipotentiaries displa wing dignity in the misfortune thsg bod brought upon themselves, de- elared that their only y-duty was to sign. Al 5:30 D. m. on March the signature took place.

 In the Ukraine also the advance pro- ceeded rapidly. The main weight of our attack was directed on Kieff. which we occupied on March 1; that of the Austrians on Odessa. The opera tions proceeded along the railways: there were occasional fights between armored trains; enormous spaces had hurriedly to be traversed by small forces.

Because our Boys Department has reached that stage of growth where it became an absolute necessity to give it more room to spread out.

 It is instructive to compare the peace which Russia then received with the one she could have obtained, and the latter with the terms which we ourselves have had to accepf. although we have never refused any offer of peace. The talk about the Brest Peace of Violence" will in time cease. although part of the Ger man people is still confiding enough to repeat this shibboleth. invented by hos tile propaganda.
 If now Russia emerges noutilated from the war, after her allies for whom she has repeatedly pulled the chestnuts out of the fire since 1914. have won, that is another affair.
 The majority of the Reichstag ap- proved the peace of Brest; they also admitted that the treaty enabled the right of self-determination to be exer- eised; the majority socialists abstained from voting; only the independent socialist voted against it.

In July, 1917, after some negotia-
tons the thresher company sold the
property in question to H. H. Bales.
About three weeks after the sale the
company demanded the return of the
property on the grounds that a mis-
take had been made. The company
claimed that through a mistake the
files had been confused and Third
street property sold instead of Sew
enth street property. The deed for the
Third street property, however, had
been drawn and filed.
Bales refused to return the prop
erty, claiming that kilograms and ne
gotiations with the company had de-
scribed the Third street property.
The case was heard before Judge
A.. F. Amidon, U. S. district court
Judge Amidon found that a mistake
had been made by the Advance.

made no mistake but that the COM
pany had a right to return the money

service, said j. B. Wineman, chair
mar of the county Home Service bu-
reau today when he announced the
opening of the Home Service training
institute on April %, which will be
held at Red Cross headquarters in

Subjects which will have important
places on the study program of the
institute includes the matter of gov
eminent provision for soldiers and
sailors families. child welfare, en-
ployment problems in home service
families, re-education and readjust-
ment of the disabled, and extension

The institute course, as explained
by Mr.. Wineman today, aims to meet
the problems of communities outside
of larger cities and said hat the di-
vision Red Cross organization deemed
it a legitimate expense for the local
chapters to send a delegate to the
conference. "In fact" Mr.. Wineman
