training in connection with UNIVERSE
ties and high schools

hopes to see the army an institution
Of education" Men in the army should

matters, as we'll AZ military science,

the educational plan Immediately.
Kahn to Push Bill.
Chairman julius Kahn of the house
military affairs committee expects to
give his peace time military program
to the house next Monday.

tary appropriation bill, since 1t should
be passed before July /, without any
reference to military policy, then give
the latter phrase extensive considera-
ton later. s.
Generalization, rapid as it has
been," has not changed financial
needs of the war department esti-
mated last December, Mr.. Baker said.
Provision for an army Of 100000,
agreed on by the committee last ses-
sion, had been reported again, Mr..
Baker said. This average army for
1890 and certain combinations pro-
posed by the department" would re-
quire the SLIT, 100000 carried by
the bill, Baker added.
Purchase Of Fields Planned.
AS representative of "continua'
tions," Baker said, It was planned to
purchase and complete the Dayton
Wright flying field. He suggested also
completion of Langley field as per-
manent station for the air service
I'VE have not made use OF all
moneys appropriated for the emer-
gency," Baker said. I'VE do not pro-
pose to use them without further au'
thorization. Our policy since the
armistice has been to save on all
plans except where, by arresting war
work, an economic disturbance would
result"
The war department will not begin
return of bodies of American soldiers
who died in France "sooner than SIX
or seven months" Baker said.

Peace Terms Given to Ger
many Are Honest.
AGREE WITH PROGRAM
Declares Conditions Are Efficient, for
in That World Which Is Invited
to Peace They Make Germany
Truly Harmless.

Beaune, France, May 31.-In an ad.
dress at the closing exercises OF
Beaune university, where 10000 Amer
lean student soldiers have been study
ing since the armistice was signed
Captain Andre Tardieu, member of,
the French peace delegation and for.
mer head of the general commission
for Franco-American war matters, de-
Tended the treaty of peace. g. ,.
Treaty Honest, First Of Al. =.
He said in discussing the treaty:
First, it is honest, 1t agrees with our
program of war, with our public en-.
gagements and with our conception, of
international life. To find matters for
reproach in this character is to un-
derstand altogether what ideas have
contributed to our victory and to strip
us in peace time of one Of our greatest
forces in the war.
Besides it is common to us both
and vouched for in every one of its
articles by the whole hearted adhe-
sion of your and of the Allied govern
ment. While he is studying and dis
GUESSING this same treaty, the enemy
we'll knows that he has a block of
granite in front of him. If anyone
tries to belittle this solidarity he
thereby eonfesses that he has learned
nothing from the lessons OF tho war
or from the creative greatness Of our
union.
Finally it is efficient, for in that
world which it invites to peace 1t
makes Germany truly harmless. 1t
forces her to repair everything which
she could and can repair; everything
which the universal conscience of the
world demands that she should repair.
Warns Against Intrisues.
ITO challenge the need of such a
guarantee is to confess to having lived
for five years outside of humanity and
to ignoring the martyrdom which such
aggression has inflicted on it,"
Captain Tardieu warned the Ameri-
cans against intrigues at home and
abroad which he said tended to break
down the friendship between America
and France and might "befog the con-
science Of the people," q

and the fact that no fotresses could
withstand it. But we were partially
for this.
But artillery has not ruled unchal-
lenged. Steadily the power of the air
plane increased throughout the war
till, toward the end, the air forces
were making a strong bid for position
as ruling factor.
Air power is the pe-eminent dis
covery of this war and that air pow
er should ever exert a really decisive
influence on the fortunes of any war
was, from the general 1914 point Of
view, unlikely.
Because air power had to grow up
with the air and because we have
watched its growth the fact of it's i'm
portance fails to come home to us
with the staggering surprise it would
have effected at the beginning of the
war.
Air warfare figured in no histories.
Nothing had anticipated it and moth
ing in the practice of flying as it was
known to US before the war had pre-
pared us for the development of air
plane into fighting machines of such
power.
A miracle happened, and its Won
der was lost in the thousand and ono
miracles of the war. Yet it was the
greatest miracle of all. To say that
men fought in other wars on land and
sea, but in this war by land. by sea
and by air, is to state miracle.

THE CONGRESS OF VIENNA

Selfishness and greed were the
ringing notes struck at the three
epoch making peace congresses of the
18th century. Such is the inexor-
able verdict OF history on the Vienna
congress OF 1916, the Paris congress
of1S56. the Berlin congress of 1878,

and governed their decisions. Their
master diplomats bartercd only for the
