is imperative that the supply of

view Of the strength of the air serV-

in view of the depreciation among
our reserve officers Of not less than
ten per cent a year, 1t Is estimated
that we must draw about 1000 pilots

and 100 engineer officers every year.
"In order not to take the better
part of a year of a mans time to

machinery of the Reserve Officers
Training Corps was chosen as most
likely to bring about desired results.
In outline the plan is to give the
equivalent Of the work formerly
done in the ground schools exclusive
of military practice--that is, air

and maps. infantry ad artillery CO.

college and universities during the

Everything possible will be done
to cultivate high esprit de corps
among the candidates by general
lectures on the achievements Of All
Service and by the fostering OF sports
and games as a part of the curricu-
lum."

New York, March 20.-Paving the
way for future commercial aerial ac-
tivities and at the same time making
ready an air force for military needs,
the Division of Military Aeronautics
has arranged training program for
college students which will not inter-
fere with their prescribed college
courses but will. at the end of three
years, turn them out prepared for
commercial, sport or military aVla-
ton duties.
The plan, as announced by the war
department, in connection with It's
Exhibit at the AerOnautical EXPOSE
ton here, permits the college student
to absorb the courses previously IN
cluded in the curricula Of the ground
schools while working for his degree.
The assumption of the war depart
ment is that aviators must be young
men, and they point TO the expert
ence of the war to prove their point,
For this reason, they say, there must
be a constant stream Of candidates
going through the schools.

GLASS APPEALS .
TO PATRIOTISM
FOR NEW LOAN
Secretary Says 1t is Impossible
to Float Note Issue on Com
mercial Basis.

Minneapolis, March 21.-Appeal-
ing confidently to the patriotism OF
the American people to make sue
cess of the coming Victory Loan, Sec
retary of the III easury Carter Glass
in two speeches in the Twin Cities to-
day declared the loan could not be
foated on strictly commercial basis.
The people have ample resources,
he declared, from the 81 l 900, O,OOO,-
600 trade balance of the last three
years, high war wages and the thrift
engendered by the war and its saw
ings campaigns.
I'VE are not going to approach the
last liberty loan in strictly COM
mercial spirit said Mr.. Glass last
night at the close OF q tWo-day Better
Business convention of the northwest
organized by the Minnesota advertis-
ing clubs. I'VE are not going to float
it strictly on a commercial basis. 1t
is impossible to do it.
A little Thought will teach the wis
est among the financiers Of the coun-
try that it is impossible to float,
purely for investment purposes, a
loan of five or six billion dollars. We
have got to appeal to the patriotism
Of the American people and it will not
be done in vain.
THE government is still expending
two billion dollars month for the
honorable commitments of the coun-
try. | know that the appeal Of the
American government to the Ameri-
can people will meet a response of
which the nation will be proud
Secretary Glass and Secretary of
Commerce William c. Redfeld met

tions Of the Ninth federal reserve dis
