! Of the war. When the armistiCe was
signed, not a single American made
chasse or bombing plane had
| reached the front-no American
made fighting or combat plane
was ever produced. America de-
pended on her allies 10 furnish a
few largely obsolete fighting planes
with which our airmen were
equipped.
"Our contribution to war time
aircraft consisted of 2l3 utterly
dangerous DH-4 observation planes
that reached the front"
MIR. Seligman quotes the demo-
cratic congressman, Mr.. Lea, of
California, in the attempt to refute
what l said about the aeropIane
cost, and the number that were
actually used by our airmen. Mr..
Lea's speech was made on the
Frear report the 9th day of last
month and he was forced to admit
that we did not have a single
fighting American made plane in
France Mr.. Kearns, a member of
congress from Ohio, put this ques-
ton TO him:
Did the testimony before your
committee ever show that we ever
had any fighting American made
planes in France?"
The answer was, by Mr.. Lea,
"Not what is technically known as
fighting planes. We made no pur-
suit planes"
Mr.. Frear, the chairman of the
committee had this to stay of Mr..
Lea in that debate:
He has given many conclusions
as to evidence not found and not
contained in the Notwithstanding
that other committee members ever
heard before"
This is enough of the partisan
Mr.. Lea whose partisan friend, Mr..
Seligman, had rather quote than to
get his information from the rec
ord
In my speech to which Mr., Selig-
man expects, | said nothing about
how many aeroplanes were manu-
featured in this country, how many
engines were made, how much ma
terial we furnished England ana
France for the air service, how
much timber and chemicals we
furnished them. I spoke only of the |
money that had been expended ana |
wasted, and of the 213 planes of !
America that got into service.
Here was what Mr.. Baker, the
war secretary, was compelled to say
when he was before the Frear
committee:
MIR. Frcar-"And we did not |
during the whole period Of the war
get a fighting machine or bombing
plane to the front?"
Secretary Baker-"Not a fighting |
machine or bombing machine of |
American manufacture.
l commend this to Mr.. Seligman,
the chairman of the state demo-
cratic central committee.
Let General Pershing have a !
word to say of the same right here,
who was before the Chamberlain |
committee.
Mr.. James--"lIow many Ameri- |
can fighting planes We're there in |
France at the signing OF the armls-
tice ?"

had the De Haviland As"

would so up in one of them. They
mad fifty defects according to Gen
eral PeTshing, ana RiCkenbacker,
the American ace pronounced them
death traps. These 213 flaming
collins" and the obsolete, discarded
planes bought from France, are
what our aYiatOrs had to use.
Our friend, MI Seligman says
that many heroic American aVia-
tors sacrificed their lives in these
death traps. The statistics show
that in proportion to the number OF
aViators engaged there were five
American lives lost to one of the
English or French.
The machines which Mr.. Selig-
mar. says were burned by General
Pershing were machines that were
shipped to France, but could not
be used, otherwise they would not
have been burned.
There were some things said in
the so-called Keynote speech which
Mr.. Seligman apparently over
looked. l said that there We're one
hundred million dollars expended
on nitrate plants, and not a pound
of nitrate produced; one hundred
millions on powder plants and not
a pound of powder produced by
them was used in the war; that d
billion dollars were expended on
shells and only 1900 shells of this
production ever got 10 the front;
one hundred, million on tanks, and
not n single tank got to France be-
fore the armistice. | assume mas
much as he has not refuted these
figures, that he admits them-but
what does o few hundred million,
or a few billion dollars amount to
during these good democratic
times!
For the statement of a few fig
ures my friend calls me names.
This is his privilege if he wishes to
exercise it, but it hardly COMFORTS
with the dignity Of the high place
he fills as chairman of a great
committee. He may get some relief
from it, like the fellow who swcars
when he is in hard luck, but maxi
ing faces and calling names answer
no rgument-besides it is very,
very naughty.

be that the nervous tension of our

is a stronger admiXture of English

has always been longer and more
sinuOus than that of France, Italy

Among the charming women OF

of having the most beautiful neck.
Through her fine insight into hu-
man nature and her consummate
tact she brought together the
choicest spirits of her time, men OF

in her own right, and was even
more interesting as the mother of
Mary, Queen of Scots. She had
many features that were inherited
by her beautiful daughter, though
it is said that Mary. Queen of
Scots, inherited largely her fathers
looks and her mothers resolve and

Colonel Prichard Talks Back
Takes Exceptions Chairman Selgmans Keynote Remarks

Editor Albuquerque Morning Jour
nal.
l think | should require u little
space in your paper to correct an
error or two, in which Mr.. Arthur
SeiiBman, chairman OF the STATE
democratic central committee fell
intO at the last meeting Of that
committee in Albuquerque.
The following is taken from his
remarks on that occasion:
The recent republican state
convention again demonstrated that
the republican party has become Il
party of me too partisan bosses
and critics, and l will only take u
few moments of your time and IL
lustrate one Of the many mis-statG-
ments of facts: Polly Parrot
PriChard, the keynOter, said
"A few figures here Will not be in
appropriate: $751;, 100000 were eX-
pended for airplanes. Two hundred
and thirteen observation planes
were sent TO France to bob around
and see what the enemy were do
ing, but not Il single Fighting plane
was produced In contrast, Con
gresham Lee, of California, quO;-
ing the I'rear report in de,all, said,
During the war American acquired
1851 airplanes, of which she
manufactured ll,7G0; acquired 3d.
000 engines of which she manufuc-
tured 3O,630; sent bombing planes
over the lines and dropped 2I5,00O
pounds Of explosives on enemy OPP
erations; America furnished France
800 airplanes, 5000 engines and
10000 TONS of parts; delivered 3d.
10000 feet of airplane lumber anu
10000 tons Of wood chemicals, etc
Many heroic American aviators
sacrificed, their lives in American
made planes, but keynoter Prich-
ard says they only 'bobbed around
to see what the enemy were doing
Yet we lost $50 airplanes in COM
bat, a large part of which We're
American made planes, manned by
| American aviatorS. Further the re-
| port declares. that 1000 of these
American bull planes were
scrapped in France, Gl2 were re-
turned to America from France,
thus according to the report, Gen
cral Pershing performed a more
wonderful miracle than that of the
| loaves and fishes. Out Of 2l& ma
chimes mentioned by the keynoter
Prichard, Pershing burnt up 1909
of them and returned 6l2 to Amer
lea"
The gentleman does me an in
justice, | did not say in the speech
referred to that one hundred and
fifty-one million dollars was ex-
pended for airplanes, but l did say
one billion and fifty~one million
dollars were so expended. He has
figures too low by about nine hun
dred millions. / also said in that
speech, and | say now, that only
213 observation airplanes of Amer
lean make were in the service
of American aviators, and that
there was not n single fighting
plane produced, of American make,
in that service.
Those remarks were based on the
report of the Frear committee of
congress, an excerpt of which
reads as follows:
"Thc American congress apprO-
priated over one thousand million
dollars that were expended for avi-I
alton during the nineteen months

THE PILLAR NECK.

Beautiful necks you might
roughly divide into two classes
pillar necks and swan necks, and
some folk like one sort and some
the other. The artist Rubens liked
the first sort and in his disserta-
ton on beautiful women he says
that "the neck should be somewhat
long, plump, round, of a snowy
whiteness and without a disfigure-
ment." To him apparently there
wa little charm in the sinuous neck

AN OPPORTUNITY.

The folks in certain lands, they
say. are going hungry every day,
while we are dwelling here in ease
and eating as we daily please.
How pleasant to enjoy land
where plenty blooms on every hand
To help a bit We must not fail
and fill the foreign dinner pail.
The Slav is munchlng on his vest
they're eating soap in Budapest;
while in the tenements of Nice
they feed the babies axle grease.
In Omsk they're out of beans and
pork--they're eating rubber heels
in Cork; and where Belshazzer used
to rule they're cutting outlets
off a mule.
It's pretty tough, To like to bet,
to long for eats you cannot get,
and so it's up to us. i trow,

thing that swims in the sea. Some
times they join in schools and hunt
the big whalebOne whales like pack
of hungry wolves. The man-eater
shark, seldom more than 20 feet long,
is one of the fiercest sea creatures.
He Is as rare as he is dangerous. The
