GERMANY WAS READY TO LAUNCH AERIAL
 ATTACK ON ALLIES
Monster Airplanes Were Finished .and Ready to Take the Field When Armistice Was
 Signed.

BERLIN, May 2.-Germany was just about ready, at the time the armistice was declared, to launch a tremendous aerial offensive by means of a fleet of new airplanes which had been perfected after months of experiments and tests.
 These machines-which today stand, nearly ready for service, in the former Zeppelin Works at Staak- an, near Berlin-would probably have caused revolution in flying, for they are constructed from nose to tail and wing tip to wing tip, almost entirely of aluminium and therefore are immune to that great ,st aerial dangers, burning.
 The most notable airplanes which Germany was accumulating-she had used them a little and even had lost one through defective orienta- tion-is the five-motor, 1250 horse power machine, capable of carrying score of passengers, or ton and a half of bombs and a crew of eight, and which, German experts claim far surpasses in size, strength, fly ing ability and general effectiveness the largest and best of the new Brit sh or Italian airplanes. They are imposing aerial monsters.

TAFT SAYS UNITED STATES IS BACKING
 WILSON ABOUT PLUME

WASHINGTON, May 2.-William Howard Taft in copywright arti- cle signed by his name. reviews the Italian question, and concludes by saying:
 Secret treaty provisions in favor of England and France are under stood to have been waived by those countries in view of these circum stances If they are correctly stated, he public opinion of the United States and the disinterested world will sustain the President in resist ing Italy's determination to take over Plume and close Creation access to the sea.
 Italy has taken possession Of Plume with the strong hand of the ,onquerer against the Croatians, Or 'ando may lose power in the Italian Parliament if he fails to stand by the Italian claim. Sonnino, his col league at the conference and his associate as premier, is rigid and uncompromising He would probably resist Orlando if the latter yielded.
 The situation is therefore grave. But can Italy afford to break on such an issue with the conference? One would think not. The President would seem to be clearly right in maintaining that at least Plume be made free port for Croatia, as Dan zig is to be for Poland. If 1talys wish were to prevail, the settlement with palpable injustice in it, would create a sense of wrong among the Jugo-Slavs that would return to plague Italy when most convenient

NO ADDITION
ON THE DEPOT
Committee Achieves Good Re-
suits in its Interview with.
Pere Marquette Head.
NO NEW STRUCTURE NOW
City Cannot Get New Depot Until
Railroads Get Back to Private
Ownership.

The committee from the city coun-
Gil and the Board of Trade, which
was in Detroit Thursday, relative to
the present union passenger station,
achieved some results which promise
to be highly satisfactory, in view of
the intentions of the railroad and the
fact that the roads are now IN the
hands of the government.
The most important result reached
was the securing of promise from
President Alfred of the Pere Mar
quette that an addition would not be
constructed 10 the present depot, the
one thing which more than any other,
was what took the committee TO see
Mr.. Alfred.
The question of new depot was
disposed of by reason OF the railroads
being under government control. The
need of such action by the railroads
was placed squarely before President
Alfred. but he stated that II was out
of the question at the present time.
Later, when the railroads are turned
back to private enterprise, 1t is eX-
pected that action in this respect will
quickly taken up.
President Alfred told the commit
tee that he would come to Alma IN
the very near future and look into
conditions personally. This visit,
which will probably be made within
the next few weeks, will without
question go long way towards con
vincing him that Alma has grave
need for new union passenger
station.
The matter was handled by the
committee in a simple business way
the business done at Alma, the future
prospects for business here, the in
adequacy of the depot, the objections
TO the additions, the unsanitary con-
ditions and to having the express
piled up at the depot being the main
features Of the argument which were
made.
The committee that went TO Detroit
and interviewed President Alfred in
regard to the matter consisted of the
city engineer, John White, three
members Of the Board of Trade, c.
r. Brown, d. L. Johnson and II. II.
Soule, and two members of the city
council, John c. Chick and Nelson
Fullerton.
