Takes Up Appropriation Bill.

After disposing of the recruiting
law, the House resumed work on the
Army appropriation measure, which
had been delayed by other business
since last Saturday. All legislation
in the bin was quickly eliminated on
points of srder first, the military
committees proposal for the tempo
rary- Army of 28,570 officers and 509.-
s09 men, being stricken from the bill,
and Immediately afterward the Iegis-
lative provision revoking the nor
ity of the President under the over
man act to consolidate or create new
bureaus in the War Department was
eliminated.
A point of order by Representative
Madden of Illinois against prohibiting
the. wearing of service chevrons also
was sustained.
After disposal Of the legislative
riders, the House turned to the ap-
preparation carried for the military
air service, which had been tempo
rarily deferred for consideration. An
appropriation of SIS 900 for this
service, without any specific amount
for production, was quickly passed,
and the House then proceeded with a
final vote on the measure.

Provokes Sharp Retorts.

Mr.. Mann's declaration brought sharp
retorts from the democratic side.
Representative Humphreys of Missis-
sippi declared that mo demagoguery
can make the boys in France believe
that we are trying to keep them there"
His declaration for a small Army was
vigorously applauded by the democrats
as was also his assertion that the SOL

police duty.
"A good deal Of political camoufiage
is being indulged in here" said Repres
sentative Gordon of Ohio, democrat.

with bringing the men back. No. one

HUNS "sQUALL" OVER TERMS
Hold Indignation Meetings Because
Allies Demand Payment For
Devastation.

Paris-The German delegates to the
peace congress are considerably di-
vided among themselves in their views
on the peace terms submitted by the
allied and associated powers, 1t was
intimated by high British authority
a Reuters statement says.
The question whether Germany will
sign the treaty is the pressing one Of
the hour. 1t is impossible to gain an
indication of the attitude of the Ger
man plenipotentiaries here, but infor-
nation coming from German sources
goes to show it is quite possible the
Ebert-Scheidemann government is con-
sidering its fate If 1t should accept
such drastic treaty. 1t may choose
to refuse to sign the treaty and 60
down in blaze Of patriotic glory.
According to this information, the
greatest shock to the Germans was
given by the formula establishing the
frontier of Poland, giving, as 1t does,
a great part of West Prussia and con-
siderable seacoast to Poland, in addi-
tion to large coal fields in Upper 81
lesia. When the German delegates left
home they expected to hear rather
more moderate proposals regarding
the Polish frontier and Danzig.

PERsHING SENDS WAR MAP
National Museum Receives Secret
Map Used BY Commander In
Troop Assignments.

Washington There is now on, ex'

Washington what is probably the most
interesting and valuable single record
Of Americas part in the great war
Gen. Pershing's own secret battle map,
transported here from his headquar
ters in France and set up in the muse
um exactly as it was there.
1t was Gen. Pershing's own idea to
have the map displayed to the public
to show the people Of the United
States the actual military results OBJ
tanned by their armies. For instance
at the hour the armistice was signed
the United States forces were holding
las kiIometers of front, of which 134
kilometers were active. This is made
plain on the map by the colored pins
and tags by which the different allied
and enemy armies are shown.

AIR Lane PATROLS
Britain Already Looking Into tea
Future.
Necessity Of Having Force 70 GuGTd
country's Merchant Ships In the
Clouds Against Sudden Attack
Is Pointed Out.

: The Dutch paper Telegram report
I'd that on November 10 airplanes
lropped bombs on the castle at Swal-
men, where the ex-crown prince OF
Germany is staying.
No suggestion is made as to the
nationality of the airplanes, except By
the parenthetical remark that Swal-
men Is only three miles from the Ger
man frontier. The report does not
mention any casualties, nor does It
say how the ex-prince bore himself
under FIRE, though 1t would have been
interesting to have known, since, ac-
eording to popular report, he has had
40 previous experience during the war
Of being under fire, having left all
that to the German cannon fodder"
which he so recklessly and cynlcally
sacrificed.
The report is vague in the extreme,
but whether or not true, It suggests
various exciting possibilities In the
future. Piracy and smuggling by air
plane are possibilities not to be over
looked. OF course, while all Europe
Is still armed, and the German army
resembles pack Of wolves without a
pack leader, nothing could be easier
than for some German airmen who
dlsapprove Of the. ex-crown princes
conduct In general and are resolved
that no counter-revolution shall ever
make him emperor, to paint out the
national marks on their machines, hy
high above the clouds into Holland,
dive upon his residence and release
their bombs. In any force still retain
ing its discipline and the discipline OF
active service at that, such action
would be wildly impossible.
In times Of peace such raids would
be less easy. All airdromes and their
airplanes will Of course be registered
the movements Of aircraft will be even
more strictly under observation than
those Of seagolng ships, for the simple
reason that their periods Of absence
from terra flrma are necessarily mucn
briefer.
Moreover, air pirates could never
stop a commercial airplane and call
on It TO "stand and deliver" They
could never get away with booty, ano
therefore their operations could only
be destructive and not profitable.
But one must not overlook the pos
sibility that a power as evil disposed
and reckless as Germany was IN lSl4
might suddenly begin a systematic az
tack on all the aircraft Of rival. Th'
experiences of the past warn US TO d
cautious In the future.
II will be the task Of the royal al
force to guard the air merchantmeI
Of Britain. For years their work ma
be as bloodless as was the work o
the navy from Navarlno to 1914 ou
the navy was needed at last, and
would be very rash to declare that TN
roval air force will never again sent
foe down in flames.
We must remain prepared on land
on the sea and, last but not least Il
the alr.--LondOn Mail.
