The Sea Flight to Panama.

planes which started from San Diego
have arrived at the Canal Zone. The
other two viii probably complete the
flight later. The distance covered
was about 5000 miles and was COM
pleted in seventeen flying days. This
Ia one Of the longest flights on record.
but not particularly notable one in
point OF time. As means Of quick
passage from q continental naval base
to the canal it is not an impressive
demonstration. But 1t had its value
in that it blazed a route to the 18TH
mus. inasmuch as this ground had
never been flown over before. It
proved to be very rough. the flyers
encountering squalls in several places.
especially in crossing the gulf Of Te-
huantepec. One man was killed by an
accident In tuning up a motor. One
plane was forced to descend in the
course Of a flight owing to casual en-
gine trouble. The flyers were accom-
panied along the route by destroyers
and tenders, for it was thought best
not to risk shortage of fuel and other
service in the course Of the fight.
Most of this country is wild and un-
inhabited. Naturally the machines
kept mostly over the sea, as they are
hydroplanes, which cannot make a
landing on the ground. Eventually
quent and stations will be established
along the way, permitting unattended
progress. The real test of the air.
plane, Of whatever variety, lies in its
following of a long set course without
reliance upon tenders or special IA
cilities and seeking to make the quick

Premier BRAND.

For the sixth time Aristide BRAND
essays the task Of organizing min.
istry in France. One Of the most bril-.
liant Of French statesmen, he has been
repeatedly called upon in crises to
create cabinets. He is possessed Of
positive views, but is an adept in
the art of political management and
at this juncture, though faced with
a strong sentiment in the deputies in
favor of more aggressive policy
toward Germany in the matter of
treaty enforcement than he is willing
to pursue. he may win through by
appeals to the patriotism of the leg.
islators.
Had President Millerand followed
the line of the deputies desire he
would have called former President
Poincare to the head of the ministry.
Poincare favors a positive enforce
ment Of the indemnity and repara-
tions provisions Of the treaty. In this
he has the support Of a majority of
the chamber, and he could probably
without difficulty form a ministry that
would command a substantial support.
! But Millerand does not feel that such
| a policy is wise at this time. 1t is
not favored by England. for one thing.
and England and France have already
drifted somewhat apart, and it is the
desire Of the more conservative forces
in France to keep from further sep
aration.
OF those named in the list presented
by NJ. BRAND to the president yester-
day few are we'll known in this coun-
try. Probably those most familiar are
NM. Bonnevay and Barthou, re-
spectivelr ministers Of justice and
war. The question arises whether
such a ministry will be but repeti.
ton of the Leygues' cabinet. which
Lloyd George is reported to have char
acterized as composed Of "nobodies." :"
But BRAND himself claims for 1t es.
pecial strength. Possibly he refers to
political strength In the chamber,
where numerous groups must be pla-
Gated and held in support for a gov
ernmental bloc" Herein lies one of
the difficulties Of the French system
Of government. No ministry is
stronger. in effect. than its weakest
member. for II a single minister In
ours the displeasure of majority of
the chamber he must be displaced or
the entire cabinet faces q vote Of dis
approval and consequent dissolution.
BRAND has demonstrated in the past
that he is a master at adjustment,
thought not wanting in positive force.
He has one Of the hardest tasks ever
assigned to Q French statesman and
the best wishes Of the American peo-
pie go to him at this crisis.

"The International Tragedy O.
Milk for Children"

The letter of the German mothers
to the French mothers. in which they
make an appeal to the effect that they
should not be deprived Of the cows
with milk. is probably the strongest
attack that has so far been made on
the Versailles peace treaty. 1t proves
that before the abstract justice one
ordinarily has in mind-political,
tions-stands the simple human JUS
tice that reckons mostly with human
daily needs, such as milk for children.
bread for grown-ups and shoes and
clothing for all.
In the name Of abstract justice, Ger
many has probably deserved the pun
ishment, but the simple human JUS
ttce stands In the way and does not
allow the punishment to be carried
out. AS an empire state or political
system. Germany has well deserved it's
punishment. But why must the inno-
cent little children of Germany be
forced to pay the penalty. why should
| the tens OF thousands Of little Ger
man children be DOOMED to die be-
cause the 100000 cows that Germany
| must give up. according to the peace
treaty, will be taken away?

put in. a lot of these men have
not shown any special efficiency,

might well be allowed to remain
The Harding administration would

The Democratic administration

pointed many theorists, whose mo-

knew little about business. A great
many people of this type ought to
go. The administration was serious
ly at fault in retaining far greater
number of office holders than was
necessary before the war. A great
body of these people ought to be

so systematized that fewer people
