Rising to height of more than
1000 feet-as in the case of Pico-
and at the lowest $50 feet above sea
level, as the island of COrvo, the is
lands form an oasis in a desert of wa
ter and mist and heavy banks of clouds
clouds that rise off the water in the
morning and blot out everything from
view, narrowing the horizon to a few
feet for the anxious aerial pilot and his
navigator.
Already navigators are at work on
instruments TO eliminate these diff
culties. They count on the Azores with
all of its mists and clouds TO furnish
them with correct weather reports,
radio stations and rescue ships in case
of accident to the planes.

And stopover at the Azores will

overseas passengers. What would

dropped him at Ponta Delgada, the
capital of St Michaefs? On APP

great cloud of dense, gray mist resting
on the horizon. Nearer it becomes a
reddish brown dotted with moldy
green.
Veering TO the southeast toward
Ponta Delgada he would see the city

gaze could pierce the cloud, it would

the sea wall with n series of white
splotches, small conical hills of bright
green and stiff white houses edged with
black trimmings.
The white lines would become
walls the next instant, disclosing
orange gardens, and the passenger
would drop into a little harbor clut-
tered with tramp sailing ships of a
half-dozen nations. The harbor is a
busy one, far superior in commercial
aspect to the town itself. which has

mild and Spectacular Wars.

|
In the annual report Of the war de-
partment, compiled under the authority
Of the secretary of war and in its prin-
cipal text commonly ascribed to that
official, who at the moment happens to
lbe Newton D. Baker, this strange pas
sage has place:
There is glory left in the career and
the sacrifice of the soldier, but the mild
and spectacular contests of an earlier
age have become a stern and cruel bust
ness, and while there is cheerful will
ingness to encounter the privations and
make the sacrifices which war demands
the men of the American army are
abreast with enlightened men every
where in the hope that more humane
esd rational processes Of adjustment
VIII supersede the waste and loss Of
armed conflict
What did Mr.. Baker have in mind
when he wrote of an era in which the
contests" were mild and spectacu
lar?
So far as American history is con
cerned, Valley Forge does not bring to
mind mild and spectacular" contest
the Indian wars were not mild and
spectacular; Andersonville was not
mild and spectacular; the Wilderness
was not mild and spectacular; the
sutferings of our men in the Spanish
war; abroad and in the camps in this
country, and in the pacifcation of the
Philippines, were not mild and spec
tacular."
Mr.. Baker is too accomplished an ar
fist with tongue and pen to find il nee
essary to dsparage the endurance and
fortitude of the heroes of the past for
the purpose of doing justice to the
brave men of to-day lie should tell
his countrymen exactly which struggles
before the world war were in his iudg
ment, mild and spectacular New

mate that the average number of pas

1919, was rs. The number of trains
late in that month was 50034. This
means that in that month at least
3,750,000 people were inconvenienced, ir-
ritated and perhaps caused loss by de-
layed passenger trains.
As matter of fact, the number was
much larger, since a train which is late
at its terminal usually has been late
at intermediate stations Every one of
those people helped to make public
opinion regarding railroad operation
and probably none of them helped to
make it more friendly to government
operation.
The late passenger train as an Amer
lean institution cannot, however, be at
tributed to government operation. 1t

private operation perhaps as frequent
ly as it has been under government

deserves great credit for stimulating
the movement for getting passenger

to be hoped that after the railways are
returned to private operation the com
