Americanizatiou,

Especially during the war and after
the war much has been done for
Americanizatiop through education
and enlightenment. In many cities
have been organized where the immi-
grants are given instruction in Eng
fish and other subjects. Side by side
with these activities the immigrants
have been taught to understand the
institutions. government and princi-
how hard such work is II We remem-
Der the difficulties which most Of the
immigrants have in learning q new
language. but those difficulties. not
withstanding this work. have produced
splendid results. The immigrants have
been brought through it to know
America better and more than ever
before.
The best results are acquired
through the voluntary associations
which are inspired by a warm inter-
est. We hope that all officialism be
left out of the Americanization work
and the work trusted in the hand of
the different societies and associations
to be carried on as humanitarian work,

PROGRESS in aviation, here and
abroad. commercial and war, has
been the theme of many interesting
articles in the magazine section of one Of
this newspapers recent issues. One
of the most important and Illuminating
told of one of our mems flight with the
army bombers from Langley Field. This
work was in preparation for the forth
coming "air versus water" tests later in
the month, wherein the army fiers will
seek to destroy old battIeships by drop
ping explosives. To-day the same writer
gives a graphic account of what the
navy's airmen are doing toward the same
end. His report on the perfection of the
torpedoplane and the accuracy of those
missiles is one of the most important
contributions to aviation news this year.

Airpianes Carrying Torpedoes
Are Pontoon Equipped

Pontoon-equipped airplanes are being used
in the torpedo firing, and the torpedo is
carried under the airplane. The tyne of
airplane Is the Martin, with two Liberty
motors and capable of Transporting a crew
Of five. This is the same as that used by the
army for bombing purposes, although slight
ly modified. The chief modification is a
split landing gear; In other words that por-
ton of the airplane which Is attached be-
meath with wheels. to enable it to get on
and off the ground. Whereas the army
landing gear is straight across, that for the
navy is divided, half on one side and half
on the other, with space between for the
carrying of the torpedo.
Another important feature Is the appa-
ratus which carries the torpedo, head for
ward, under the airplane. It has been de-
veloped so that the torpedo may be launched
without trouble when II Is desired, after the
proper aim and distance from the water has
been registered, and yet is safe to carry dur
ing the times of taking off and Of landing.
Obviously the torpedo firing arplanes at
present In the service, being of land type,
can operate only from shore stations or
from carriers-that is surface craft built
with landing platform on the top. The
matter Of carriers will be taken up later III
this article.
Eventually, of course, the type Of air.
plane now in use will be modified for navy
service. The Martin bomber the officers be-
leve, Is too large in its wing spread to make
II practical for carrier transportation. Fur
ther the fact that 1t is unable to land in

that a boat attachment would interfere with
