shows q growing confidence on the
part of the public In It's work.
Considering the terms on which
accepted this appointment, my resigna-
tion has in effect been always in the
secretary's hands. for 1 made it an
express condition to my undertaking
the task that I should have the au-
thority commensurate with the re-
sponsibility that was placed upon me.
When it became apparent that the
Secretary was not living up to his
undertaking. and that delay and in
action in vital matters in the Treasury
Department threatened the very life
of the bureau, I deemed 1t my duty
to point out to him fully and frankly
the conditions which were crippling the
work and to offer suggestions for i'm
mediate improvement.
For the sake of the millions of
soldiers and sailors and their de-
pendents. ! am greatly~concerned
lest the Treasury policy towards
the bureau SO cripple its work as
impair their rights under the war
risk insurance act and thus cause
untold hardship and suffering"

one Of the women was thrown through

The car Immediately stopped and
the injured lad was picked up and
helped to the house. He is said to
have walked the entire distance
with the assistance of his attendants
and did not appear to be injured,
beyond slight scratches on the face
and legs. Believing that the boy
was not severely hurt. the occupants
OF the car drove away.
About forty minutes after the ac-
cident the women returned to the
house to inquire as to the child's
condition. Assured that he was
moro frightened than hurt, they
proceeded on their way. While tn,
names of the women were not OBJ

PLANES TO Skim
AROUND. GLOBE
Secretary Believes Aerial
Trips Around Earth
Next on Program.

"Encircling the globe by aeroplane"
is the next epoch-making feat of
aviation. according to views expressed
yesterday by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, discussing the wonderful
feat OF the navy in making a success
full flight Of its aircraft from New
foundland to the Azores.
Mr.. Daniels is full OF enthusiasm
for the future OF the navy and ex-
pressed himself as proud OF the per-
formances of the officers and men
engaged in the transatlantic flight.
He regards the things accomplished
already as far from anything merely
spectacular. but looks on them as
full of substance for the future COM
merce of the world and the linking
together OF all its lands as could be
done in no other way than by the
aeroplane.
Unlimited Possibilities.
Aviation" says Daniels, "is bound
to play a very large part in the
future of the world, both in peace
and war.
when / was in Rome" he re-
called yesterday, "I saw an airplane
flying over the city and carrying
twenty-five to thirty persons.
why should we fly across the
ocean? You might ask why should
we fly from Hampton Roads to Bar
Harbor or New York IL that were
all? On the contrary. we are fly
ing across the ocean because flying
is going to be a part-an important
part-of the worlds transportation.
The navy was the branch of the
government that had the personnel
and the material to undertake the
work and it took hold of the propo-
sition and the performance of the
officers and men now engaged in
1t have challenged the admiration
OF the whole world. But we shall
not only fly across the Atlantic, but
around the world.
May Reach North Pole.
TT seems to me that we have
gone far enough already to Justify
the prediction that flying around
the world, circling the globe by
airplane. will be just as easy and
practicable as are now the voyages
around the world by passenger lin
ers.
Il have no doubt that by means
OF the airplane the North Pole will
be reached through the air to sup-
plement the splendid work of those
who have made that their goal by
