from Clemenceau as president OF the

The report also embraces a letter
from M. Ciemenceau to the president
OF the United States in which he says
he is pleased that President Wilson

that he. Clemenceau, adheres entirely

Unanimous with the exception Of re-

under the control of the navy. He also
takes the ground that If 1t be proposed

and navy experts, who have that mat

The general proposition OF the mis-

Baker in making the report public
says:
THE mission has, In my judgment.
gone too far in suggesting a single
centralized air service. Army and
my aviators are specialists In the
art both the airplanes and the pilots
needed are of different type from
those needed in civil undertakings
The pilots particularly need to be
trained upon a different theory.
Military pilots are trained to fight
singly or in formation and to operate
in coordination with other branch
es Of the military service so that their
training must be military. Their own
efficiency and that Of the other
branches OF the service depends upon
the most intense and constant asso-
ciated training and separation OF the
air service from the army or navy
would require coordination OF their
activities in time Of war. whereas ef-
fectiveness in military operation rests
upon the concentration and single
ness OF authority. command and pur-
pose"
Bakers Objection
Mr.. Baker also said that the main
tanning Of adequate protection facil-
tiles will not necessarily depend on a
single centralized control as advocat-
ed by the mission.
This" he says. at is believed can
be brought best by the establish
ment OF governmental agency which
will lay down the necessary rules.

The Architecture of the Sea

Neither the tongue nor the hand has the
power to picture it fully.
Aristotle said: "The bOldest mariners OF
antiquity, startled at its appearance, burst not
cross its boundary"
Life seems to pervade it from its surface to
its farthest depths
Portions of its waves are covered with
forests of floating seaweed, while its depths are
often webbed, as in Florida, with spOnges.
The discoverer of America said that his
ship was seriously impeded by swimming
fucus," which exists between the Azores,
Canary and Cape Verde Islands.
Under the waters of the West Coast of
Florida the bottoms are paved with a soft coral,
in some places rose color in others white,
orange old gold color, or green, and beds OF
black, where at times the fish sleep; all too
fragile to be workable.
The Mediterranean still furnishes the long
rose cOrals that used to be so fashionable for
ladies' necklaces and cameo breastpins. There
are reefs of coral to be seen in the Red Sea.
The existence of coral has been attributed
to volcanic action which the polypi build upon.
The world is very beautiful as "great
whole" but only few realize the great future
Florida has before it in many directions.
