A COMMON COMPLAINT

a distinguished trenchman complains that while France is
the most inventive country in the world, French inventors receive
less encouragement from their fellow countrymen than any others.
a french invention is ignored in France until it is taken I'D and
tested out and perfected in other countries. This IS common COM
plant. 1t applies with much force to America. When l. P. Hol-
land, OF New York, invented the first real submersible boat he
was ridiculed and laughed at as a visionary. American naval au-
thonties would have nothing to do with it. France took up the
idea and developed it, and many years later, in 1907, the Ameri-
can navy realized what a war weapon it had been overlooking
and proceeded to build several of these vessels and put them
in commission.
Meantime Holland died pennness and OF a broken heart. The
Brooklyn lady who had finaced his experiments when no one else
would listen to him, soon followed him.
When the desire for world empire seized the Germans thew
took up the underseas idea and brought it to great perfection.
One morning a modest little man, Capt. Koenig, rose up out of
the sea and, unannounced, steamed into Baltimore with a cargo
of dyestuffs that was very much needed in this country. He
hailed with great acclaim, Great things were expected for this
new way of escaping warships and prvateers, and it was freely
claimed that commerce was now independent of war; but the
Germans saw in the new vessel an engine of destruction and set
to work building their maritime assassins that brought the wrath
OF this country down on them when they outraged civilization by
sinking the Lusitania. 1t was a sorry day for the Fatherland,
and it will not get over it in half a century.
With many other inventions it has been the same thing, and
especially with guns, gases and explosives. America ignored
them until other countries proved what they were capable of
doing. French inventors are not the only ones that have been
ignored,
All Of which reminds us OF the words of Matthew, recording

NC-4 WILL NOT -

Transatlantic Flyer Not Try

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The Ameri-
can seaplane NC-4. which arrived at
Plymouth, England. Saturday therebv
completing the first trans Atlantic
flight, will not attempt az nonstop or

To-Day. The seaplane will be disassem-
blsd and shipped to this country.
me secretary said the navy contem-
plated no attempt at a nonstop trans
ocean flight In the near future as the
navy DID not desire to make a spectac-
uLar showing, was not in any competi-
ors, and did not favor STUNT flying.

Tor the present and that the Nc-4 will

board the U. S. IS. Aroostook. The
crews will return Mater on board gov
eminent vessels.
The .NC-4 flight was purely in the
interest of aerial science, he said,
After we have compiled all Of the
data gathered during this flight, been
made confident by our mistakes and
reconstructed u planes to conform
with the lesson we have learned, it will
then be time to begin considering fur
ther experiment In transatlantic fly
ing; until then we are satisfied the
secretary added.
Asked II the crew OF the NC boat
would go to Paris, Secretary Daniels
said that they would go II President
Wilson or Admiral Benson sent for
them. Otherwise they will return to
the United States shortly and avia-
ton officills will begin the work of
compiling the data obtained and begin
a series of experiments in an effort to
place it In effect.
Experiments are now being conducted
with the C-type of lighter than air fly
ing craft and 1t Is possible that when
the next attempt at a transoceanic
flight does come that one OF the big
dirigibies will be used.
Messages of congratuiation to the
navy upon the success Of its exploit
were received today from King George

upon Mr. Harry Kersky he will feel inpeled to dilute his

PILING TT ON

Doubtless Sergeant Alvin York, OF Pail Mall, Tenn, is suf-
ieently skilled IN the art of assaying the value of worldly
honors, in the light of his experience with decorations and dinner
dances, bouquets, banquets and ~boneheads, to comprehend ade-
quately the significance of being a colonel for life on the gov
errors stall There may be some question as to the legality Of
a commission issued for that length of time, but of course every
one knows that the title Of an officer on the governors staff is
one OF the few things, in this age OF shoddy goods, that lasts
forever. But "for life" is the way the verdict reads, Still there
is reason for being a trile apprehensive that Sergeant York was
too busy with his trusty rifle and his handy automatic in the
Argonne to be familiar with the military prowess of his new
associates, and to correctly appreciate the valor and heroism they
displayed under the enemy's fire in the crucial days of the
summer and fall offensive of lol8-including both primary and
general elections, The deep humility and meekness of spirit that
have marked his previous conduct will be put to the supreme
test in this new and overwhelming honor.
