MURPHY TO RETIRE
 AT END OF CAMPAIGN

Washington, November 3.--(Special) According to republican politicians Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany, is preparing to retire from politics. They add, hastily, that the wish is not father to the prediction.
 William s. Bonnet of New York, for mer member of the House, sta,ed the case to Washington correspondents, as follows:
 Justice Newburger's reelection to the supreme court seems assured, and Irwin Untermyer, Murphy's candidate, seems certain to defeat For the first time in the history of Tammany, three of the district leaders are not support ing the ticket. This defection pro- tends ominous results for the organiza- tion
 If Untermeyer loses, Tammany will drop Murphy, and if Untermyer wins, Murphy will retire, it is reported. Bs- pecially does it seem probable that Murphy will retire should the husband of his adopted daughter, ]. A. Foley, be elected surrogate for fourteen years.
 'At any rate, If these candidates are beaten, Tammany will force his retire. ment If they win, why he may retire of his own accord

present at least to give to 1t any sub stantial encouragement.
 Reports have been received by the Manufacturers Aircraft association from other countries which tell in some detail of the progress already under way in those countries in the manufacture of aircraft and of contemplated great ex- ransion of the industry. For instance, not much heed has been paid In the United States to the fact that Japan is as keenly interested in the development of aircraft as is any European country. The Japanese government has appropri- ated millions in the attempt to secure a high development of aerial navigation. The Japanese mechanics possess great skill in the manufacture of aircraft, and the time is not distant when Japan will match any other country in the number and in the efficiency of it's air craft.
 So, too, In Great Britain. France. Ger many. Italy, the attention of the gov ernment is being focused almost as greatly upon the high development of aircraft for commercial and mall pur- poses as well as military, as was the case at the time the war was in progress, when military aircraft production was so greatly stimulated. There was unan' imous agreement at the international aeronautical conference which was heli in Europe last summer that the develop ment of commercial aviation is of the utmost importance not only on account of the advantage it offers to business and the speedy transmission of mails, but also because it would furnish means of preparedness in case of war.
 The. great military authorities are of one opinion respecting the maintenance of, permanent peace. They appear no, to believe that permanent peace is pos. sible. Therefore they are urging that there be provided a large reserve of both aviation matrials as well as operation personnel. This personnel as a whole is to consist of officers, enlisted men, pilots and mechanics. So great sn au- thority as Marsha! Foch is reported to have said at the international conference that in the next war the first great bat tie will be in the air, as was clearly demonstrated in the recent war, and IT nation is to conquer it must have su- premacy in the air"
 It was then observed that Marshall Foch did not qualify his statement by saving if there be another war. Instead of that he did say, "in the next war the first great battle will be in the air.
 How the industry is progressing in Flu rope is demonstrated by the establish ment in Great Britain of various trunk line air routes by which the principal cities of the United Kingdom will be brought into speedy association. Further more, Great Britain is highly develop ing an aerial mail system. So also in France the government is stimulating the industry and is now using airplanes upon some of the postal routes. Ulti- mately airpIane routes will be in opera ton from England to Cairo. and the Cape and from Cairo to Bombay. while another route from France to Algeria and Morocco is to be established.
 Great Britain and France have aiI ministries. while Italy has technical military aviation bureau On the other hand the United States seems to have

HOLLOwEEN PRANK
 SERIOUS FOR GIRLS

Washington. November S.--(Special) Female policeman in Washington against whom criticism from many sources has already been heard, capped the climax Friday night when they ar rested several girls, in the residential districts, for masquerading, in honor of halloween.
 Three girls of the younger classifi- cation had donned the uniforms of their brothers who had been discharged from the army. The polieewomen charged them with the serious offense of wear ing, without authority and for pur- poses unknown, the uniform of tho United States.
 While the solicitor in inclined to view the case lightly, as If it was noth- ing more than prank, the female cops persist in their charge, and the girls will eventually be brought to trial. Should they be convicted, and their punishment made as serious as their "crime." they would necessarily serve sentences in the penitentiary.
 The girls are war-Workers from western states They came to Wash- ington in response to the war necessi- ties of the government

Pershing Disappoints
 Large Army AdUocates
Upshaw, Friend of Labor, Vigorous in Denunciaon of Miners Strike-Hallow cen Prank May Prove Se-
 rious for Girls in Washington
BY HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington. November 3.-(Special) The testimony of General Pershlng. be- fore the House and senate committees on military affairs, was distinct dis appointment to the general staff, to the chairmen, Representative Kahn and Senator Chamberlain, and to every -a-called ''big arriy" man in the United States
 On the other hand, 4t proved mos, pleasing to those members of Congress, who have inherently and unYarying- ly protected against what they term a tendency towards militarism
 With the single exception that he re- commended compulsory military train ing in a modified form, General Per- shing's testimony conformed to the provision of the bill of Representative ve Dent of Ala abama, which with the in- dorsement of the Army and Navy Jour nal bends before the military commit tee of the House,
 General Pershng stood against an army of 51O,0U0 as Is recommended by the general staff. He declared that 30O0UU men were for every purpose, in peace time, sufficient. He also stood against an an-powerful general staff With lnnumerable attaches, as the gen. eral staff recommended
 ''l could not follow General Pershing respecting compulsory military train ing. While the general stood for that proposed institution, he did not ad- acre to the idea of the militaIist school that such training should be enforced with the rigor which war makes neces- sary. He argued that 1t should be en- forced in connection with education. l regret that General Pershing did not think proper to state that while he favored universal compulsory military training. he thought that 1t should be considered otherwise than as connected with the reorganization of the army on 8 peace basis. II is such a big sub feet that it should be considered on its own merits-independent of any other military feature.
 "General Pershing made the sugges- ton that survivors of the world war De organized as a reserve force to be called upon In time of emergency. This Idea Is a very good idea, especially as the general advocated such & reserve formed through voluntary enlistment"
 MT. Dent stated that in his opinion. General Pershing's testimony will go far to enhance his popularity through out the United States, and to remove certain prejudice against him which exists among some soldiers and some members of Congress.

HEAVY INVESTMENT IN AIRCRAFT WORK
BY HOLLAND

New York, November S--{Suecial. )-At least SlO0,0O00o0 represents the capital in- vested In the manufacture of air craft and this capital has been brought into an association under the name of the nlall tcturers aircraft organization US naln offices are in New York Many branches have been established here and there in the United StateS' This organ lzation, therefore, is persuaded that it can speak with some authority upon the aircraft Industry and also with moni- ton which, it is hoped Congress will need so that what seems to be the flying out of the industry may be stopped and the industry will be quickened until at last the United States stands, so far as the construction and operation of air. craft is concerned. upon a plane with European countries
 The industry as a whole has hoped that Congress would pass an emergency appropriation of S15000,0O0 so that the manufacture of army aircraft can be maintained and increased. Unless some appropriation is made or unless private capital in sufficient amount is secured, then there does seem to be some danger that the air plane and ar plane engine industry of the United States will be brought to an end. very superficial Judgment respecting aircraft has been expressed by those who have said that now that the armiStice has been signed and that the war is actually, although not technically, ended, there seems to be no reason why the production of aircraft should be continued upon a large scale.
 There are, however. two considerations which are overlooked by those who take this view. One Is the necessity if our army and navy are to be thoroughly pre- pared for any emergency that they shall have on hand an adequate supply of air craft. The other consideration is of a peaceful nature. Already inventors and constructors have so far perfected the arships as to render it reasonably cer- tain that they can be used to great con- mercial advantage both for the carrying of light comm odities and the transporta- tion of passengers and also as mail car riers.
 It is no longer a question of the adap- tability of the aircraft to commercial use. It needs no further demonstration of it's adaptabillty. Instead it is a ques- tion of capital, of production, and 1t is inevitable that there be government aid furnished exclusively by the payment for the construction of aircraft suitable for the army and navy if the industry is to be maintained and the commercial possi- bilities which are in it are to be real
