Importance than the financial e1tTava-
gsnce-which may be possibly justified
by the conditions, the need Of haste
and extensive experimeatation-is the
declaration in the report that five
times as many fliers were killed. in
proportion to the number engaged,
as compared with other branches Of
the service. 1t is stated that while one
British f1ier was killed for every 1881
hours flown and one Belgian for every
930 hours, one American lost his life
for every 337 hours. This may have
been due to insufficient training or to
bad planes. Creation of separate air
service is strongly recommended, and
certainly there is in this report ample
argument for systematic develop
ment Of aviation in this country,
whether there is the slightest prospect
of another great war or not. Aviation
is now in its stage Of development that
promises steadily increasing practi-
cal application, and the United States
government should be active in its pro-
motion, utilizing to best advantage all
the lessons that were learned during
the war and reaping some benefit from
the enormous expenditures to which
this report now points.

even q much increased street rail

be lessened. The experiments thus far
tried in this direction have succeeded
to such an extent that further "stag-
gering" would seem to be justified.
It may cause some arrangement of do

subcommittee on aviation expenditures
reduces to specific terms a mass of al

current for at least two years. This
report represents protracted inquiry
into the manner in which the Ameri-

Radical Propaganda.

An attempt bv Russian bolshevil
propagandists to get manifesto t.
the American radicals smuggled into
this coud ry by secret agent ha,
been 'thwtrted and at the same time
promoted by the seizure of the agent
in London on his way here and the
confiscation of the document. Pub
Gcation of the paper thus obtained
gives it wider circulation than it could
possibly have had. through the usual
channels of communication favored by
,he reds. 1t also informs the people
at large of the effort to throw the
Cnited States into revolution.
1t is most desirable that these Sc
cret efforts of Russian radicals to
foment violent dissent in the United
States should be promptly and widely
disclosed, for through information of
the rascally endeavor the people will
be aroused to measures of defense.
There is no widely prevalent spirit of
radicalism here. The great majority
of the people are content with the
present form of government. The reds
are in minority that would be negE
.gible but for the fact that a small
and active fraction can precipitate
harmful reactions in any country, how
ever peaceful and normally inclined.
Deportations of aliens who seek the
subversiOn of our form of govern
ment will not cure the evil of this
persistent propaganda for overturn.
There will always remain many
though never a majority-who are
prone to complain, to criticise, to in
vent novelties of government and who,
as American citizens, are immune from
deportation. These must be educated
into better moods and lines of thought.
They must be taught that their best
interests lie with the welfare of all
classes and that if there are faults in
our system they are to be cured
through intelligent exercise of the
franchise and the enactment of; cor
rective legislation. =
Hopeless as the effort to .subvert
American institutions may be, it can
not be ignored. There should be the
fullest publicity for all proof of the
endeavor to denationalize the United
States and to turn American society
upside down as in Russia. Strict watch
must be kept upon' outlying places
from which propaganda is conducted.
Every newcomer must be closely OBJ
served to detect agents Of revolution.
America4ization work must proceed in
every quarter. Better understanding
must be promoted between workers
and employers The way to light this
menace is to meet it squsrely and to
disarm radiealism by intelligent eoun-
ter propaganda for the maintenance of
sound government.

Germany to Have First Go.

The allied powers have decided to
accept Germany's plea of inability TO
surrender the officers and officials ac-
cused of war crimes and her proposal
to bring the accused to trial before a
high court at Leipzig. This meets a
difficult situation with probably the
best possible solution. The allies
make it plain that full trial must
be had, and will hold Germany re-
sponsible for the result. Specific sug-
gestion is given of course to follow
failure to deal justly with the ac-
cused. There can be no doubt of the
meaning of the following passage in
the new note to Germany:
'The allies would formally cmpha-
size that procedure before juris-
dietion such as is proposed can in no
way annul the provisions of articles
22S to go of the treaty. The powers
reserve to themselves the right to de-
eide whether the proposed procedure
by Germany, which, according to her,
Nouu dSDuIc W Suc dCSuSCu kudI
antees Of justice, does not, in effect,
bring about their escape from the just
punishment of their crimes. In this
event the allies would exercise their
rights to their full extent by submit
ting the cases to their own tribunal"
In other words, the allies reserve
the right of appeal to their own court
if Germany aequits the accused, or
administers only technical penalties
or fails to bring any of the persons
named to trial. The net of the matter
is that the allies will let Germany have
first go at the cases, under. close scru-
tiny. The Leipzig trials will probably
not be mere formalities.

Mr.. Lansing's Future.

Gossip is prompt with suggestions
about Mr.. Lansing's future.
One suggestion is that as from the
law he came, unto the law he will prob
ably return. He, has specialized in
international law, and international
questions are multiplying. That field
should become more inviting than ever
Both in this country and abroad, men
of legal equipment of international
character will be in request for the
increased volume of International busi-
ness.
Another suggestion is that Mr.. Ian
sing should enter politics. In New
York at present the democratic party,
to which Mr.. Lansing belongs, is short
of leaders. 1t is seeking man to
run. for the Senate against Mr.. Wads-
worth, and no native son of the state
is md (ptioned for the San Francisco
nomi Iation. Mr.. McAdoo is an adopted
son and for that reason and some
othd his friends are finding it diff
cult float a presidential boom for
him the state. Mr.. Lansing has
never been active in politics, and were
he to become so now might find the
Presidents friends arrayed against
him. The New York political field, as
q rule, is the most difficult one in the
cesatey- to cultivate.
Sti mother suggestion-and prob
ably most persuasive of the three
is tha Mr.. Lansing should write story
of Il war, with special regard to
Amef ea's part in it viewed from Of
fee. He has, Of course, a great deal
of information from high sources, and
could prepare volume Of much value
and interest. He is praeticed writer;
and rhymes as we'll as reasons.
The war is certain to enlist a num-
Der of pens held by men who saw it
close mp through the eyes of civil sta
ton. ..Englishmen, Frenchmen, Bel
gians, Itaisns, Russians, Germans and
Austrians are expected to contribute
to the absorbing story; and among
them are several writer's of wide re-
nown.
Mr.. lansing is the third American
mentioned in the connection. Presi-
dent Wilson and Col House were men
toned some time ago. Mr.. Wilson
has written history, and 50 would fall
in readily with the task, while Col.
House has tried his hand on novel,
and thus gotten his hand in.
But maybe Mr.. lansing win make
his own decision about tho future, and
without assistance and without haste.
He has had nearly five years of very
strenuous official life, dealing with
many new and many old questions, and
taking intimate note Of q world up
heavsl far beyond any other recorded.
Hence rest is probably nearer to his
taste and needs just now than any
thing else. -,

AGED BUZZARD THOUGHT DEAD
Bird, Marked in War Of 1912, Present
at Every Big Engagement
Z since Then.

The famous 'belled buzzard," known
to be more than one hundred years
old, is believed to be dead. A few
days ago it was seen on the farm Of
w. H. Leach, near the mouth of Sec
ond creek, West Virginia. It looked
to be greatly emaciated and ready to
give up its widely-known career.
This buzzard has small sleigh bell
tied around It's neck, which was said
to have been placed there during the
war Of 1872. The bird had wars as
it's hobby, and Is said to have been
present at every battle Of size north
Of the equator. It has been seen as
far south as Peru, although its sum-
mers were generally spent In the
mountains OF West Virginia During
the Mexican trouble, several years
ago, it spent two consecutive sum-
mers on the border.
II Members OF the Leach family saw
the bird flying low. with q number OF
other buzzards accompanying it. It
was noticed that the bird had got its
beak fastened behind the leather strap
which supported the bell, and seemed
unable to release itself. An attempt
was made to release the buzzard's
head, but it became frightened and
few away. It is felt certain that the
bird has since died.

~ E,mctal paper Of Marshall County.

\ e Mr., F. A, Green, Of Stephen. who is
a >candidate for representative in the
legislature from Marshall county, is so
we'll known to the voters of the county
that he needs no introduction He is
one of the prominent pioneer farmers
Of the northern part Of the county and
he has always taken leading part in
every movement for the benefit of the
farming interests Of the Red River Val
ley. AS a pioneer in the good roads
movement, he has done much to secure
better roads for his neighborhood and
as a breeder Of pure bred livestock,
both cattle and hogs, he has been in
strumental in introducing better stock
on the farms and to awaken an interest
in diversified and more profitable farm
ing methods. Mr.. Green is an enter
prising and public spirited man, who
believes in doing things worth while
for the community in which he lives.
He is not an Office seeker, although in
years past he has served this county
very acceptably and ably both as sheriff
and as a member of the county board.
At the urgent solicitation of friends in
all parts of the county he reluctantly
consented to become in this election a
candidate for representative in the leg
islature from this legislative district.
If elected, as his friends believe he will
be, he will be a valuable man to look
after the farmers interests in st. Paul
at the next session Of the legislature.
