WE MUST HAVE 1T

transcontinental aviation map has
made remarkable progress toward
taking full advantages of the Gov
ernment's' offer to make this city
stopping point for machines bound
from coast to coast. The enthusi-
asm of the chairman, William Jen-
nings, and the hearty cooperation
of Lieutenant-C kirkland in
helping to solve the problem of
proper landing place for aircraft,
are contagious. City Councilmen
and the Mayor himself were quick
TO see the wisdom OF getting early
action on the project.
The thing has been we'll started
and il must be carried to a success
full conclusion. Harrisburg simply
must have an aviation field of the
kind described. To miss this op-
portunity to become in air trans
portation such a center as the city
is in a railroad way would be little
less than a crime.
AS Colonel Kemper said yesterday,
aviation, with all its remarkable
achievements, is only in its infancy.
Great discoveries are just around the
corner. Any day some inventor
may come along with a new curva-
ture OF planes, or a stabalizing device
or an improvement in engines that
almost overnight will make air.
plane passenger and express SER
vice popular and profitable.
Air travel to-day is in somewhat
the same place the railroads occu-
pied a century ago. To let some
other city become an air center to
the exclusion of Harrisburg would
be as though our forefathers had
let slip their chance to make Har-
risburg one of the big centers of
railroad building and operation. The
thing looks small now, but great
developments are at hand. With
in the next five or ten years the
express airplane will be as COM
mon as the overland motor trucks
are to-day and travel through the
air will have been reduced to a
science, where men will save whole
days by substituting fast airplanes
for the cumbersome railway
coaches of the present.
Now is the time to prepare for
the future and the Government very
kindly has offered to do it's part
by placing us on the air map and
bringing all of it's own mail and
army planes this way il we but pro-
vide a landing place.
City Solicitor John E. Fox is
deeply interested in working out
the legal end of the problem and
may be trusted to find a way where
by the city may expend the money
for the establishment of a field.
1t has been pointed out that the
municipality might lease or buy a
piece of land for park purposes and
give permission to the Government
to use it for aviation, reserving
some parts of it for community
recreation and sport. This, II is said,
could be worked out by having a
park policeman on hand to look
out for the safety of the public up
on the approach OF airplanes, and
appears to offer an easy solution
to the problem. With regard to
the money, it would seem a small
matter to float a little loan for this
purpose. Certainly, such a loan
would be approved by the people,
who are always ready to support
any plan that promises to benefit
the city.
At all events, Harrisburg must
have this field.
1t should not be forgotten tba+ +ha

DEMPSEY STARTS ON


New York, Feb. 11.-HavinE com
pleted his business with Tex Rickard
for the time being, Jack Dempsey and
his manager, Jack Kearns, slipped out
Of New York last night for Allentown,
Pa where Dempsey tonight began a
theatrical tour of six weeks He is to
set $1,000 for each week of his time.
kearns has anothoR offer for Demp-
sey's histrionic services and probably
will accept, since Dempsey will not
have to begin training for the title
affair before the middle of May.
Dempsey will rot be allowed to en-
gage in any boxing bouts before he
meets Willard. which will not be
pleasing to the Utah mauler. Demp-
sey thinks that to be a fighter it is
necessary to be fighting. Any-activity
may be detrimental to Dempsey,
In the articles of agreement. finch
he signed yesterday, Dempsey agrees
to take on Willard some time next
July at a place either in the United
States or elsewhere in a bout not to
exceed 40 rounds in length. Richard,
to make a contract out of it, promises
to give Dempsey $27 800, to be paid
Dempsey 48 hours before the bout.
That IN nutshell is the contra ct
which Richard has been trying to get
before Dempsey for several days.

LLOYD GEORGE SPEAKS ON
GENERAL PEACE SITUATION

London, Feb. 12.-(By The A. P.)-
Premier LLOYD George spoke again to-
day on the general peace situation,
The premiEr. defending the proceed
ings of the pcace conference, said the
government had been devoring its time
to speeding up agreements. He was
sanguine thai a complete agreement
would be reached concern ng the Ger
man western boundary but the eastern
boundary was a different matter.
He declared that there had never
been any proposal advanced at the
peace conference TO recognize the Boil
shevists. He admitted that the hor-
rors of BoIshevism were 80 great that
there was q sense of disgust when they
came to deal with its leaders, but it
was useless tC blind theic eyes to the
real facts.
Russia represented in area over half
Of Europe and nearly half of Asia, and,
pointed out if peace were not made,
the whole CT this immense territory
would be seething in anarchy dis
order and bloodshed; there would be no
peace in the world.
If troops were 10 be sent to Rus
STA, who should send them America,
he said, wo,tld send neither rsen,
money nor material, a1G the work
would fall upon the British and
French. He was unable to disclose
the figures that intervention would in
volve but, after seeing them, no sane
man, he declared would advise the
allies after five years of war, to under
take the enterprise.

coin This unexpected move came
after Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania, senior republican of the SEN
ate conferees, lSSd precipitated a
general debate with a three hours
attack on what he termed eXtrava-
gance and waste in appropriations
since the war began.
While promising the revenue meas
ure his support, the Pennsylvania
senator said it taxed the country
about to the breaking point and as
serted that the American people were
alarmed, if not disguised" by con-
gressional appropriations. He said
money had been poured out in a kind
of debauchery and he sharply ar
raigned the use of appropriations for
the shipping board, railroad admin
Gstration and other government
agencies. The Russian Bolshevik he
asserted; could have operated the rail-
roads better than they have been OPP
Grated by the govrnment.
Senators Lewis of Illinois and
Thomas of Colorado replied to Sena-
tor Penroses charges and declared
that if there had been extravaganza
in appropriations the republicans
were subject to the same criticism as
the democrats as united support had
been given for war expenditures.
Senator Smoot of Utah, republican
| expressed alarm over the govern
ment's financial situation and urged
| the strictest economy. He plans tc
| speak again tomorrow, but both dem
ocratic and republican leaders believe
final vote will be had before ad-

The American people, Lord Bryce
added, already have done much for
the east, by the schools, colleges and
hospitals they have founded. He
continued:
America is especially fitted for
the task because she stands apart
from the jealousies of the European
powers and none could suspect her of
seeking dominion for herself. If it
was proposed to America and she
would undertake this disinterested
duty which would confer inestimable
benefits of an ancient, industrious
and energetic people by giving them
aid and guidance for the first years
of restored national life, the British
frineds of America would rejoice and
feel that she had once more shown
her devotion to noble and unselfish
aims.
BE that as it may, I trust that the
British and American policy will al
ways be animated by the same high
ideals as those they have fought fol-
! in the war"
