portanee for the ime-being at least. IL
il given to few presidents to play such
a part in world history as Woodrow
Wilson has played. There are varying
estimates on the strength of that par
ticipation, and there will be varying
estimates as long as history shall be
read. But it perhaps is fair to say
that Wilson's ambitious program of
world peace as development of the
World war is far from completion, is,
indeed, in danger of being disrupted
by return to former international re.
lations or to new relationship based
upon actual condition of mems minds
rather than upon the foundation OF
that which ought TO be. Wilson had
purpose to establish the world upon a
high plane Of international relationship
and in framing that purpose he failed
to reckon sufficiently on the frailties
of human hopes and aspirations; he
failed to estimate accurately the mind
of the people to be affected by such
proposed scheme. The league of ma
tions, the agency through which vii.
son hoped to bring about permanent
amity of the world, may survive in
some form or other; but it seems prob
able now that it will have to be con-
siderably revised and revamped-put
into more practical stage, it may be
said. Yet even the most bitter oppo-
nents of the scheme will have to adj
nit at this time that its motives were
high and that if the mind of the world
had been attuned to such move the
league of nations with some changes
would have proven very valuable fac
tor in bringing about that desideratum
permanent world peace.
In his failure to engineer through
that scheme for world peace Wilson
finds his greatest disappointment no
doubt, but he goes into retirement
with the consciousness of having set
a high standard to which the world
might aspire, For his failure Wilson
must look in part to his own frailties
as well as 70 the defects of his fellow
men. Whether those frailties OF WI
son will count severely in history's es-
innate Of the relative greatness Of vii.
son remains to be seen; yet even now
there must be candid admission that
Wilson was actuated by high motives
in this, as well as in many other ac-
Invites of purely national concern.
IT can be said truthfully also that he
was too partisan in his treatment OF
many matters; that he was even pro
yincial in his viewpoints on other mat
ters. that he was more or less self
willed, self sufficient and self-centered,
that he was too intolerant of the view
points and frailties of others; that
he was too imperious in manner. Such
attributes are apt to sink into insight
cance as the years multiply, and per-
haps the verdict of history will be that
Wilson was a prophet with clear Wis
ion, a really great man, notwithstand-
ing those attributes.

LOCAL AVIATORS
MISSING. IN GULF

One Of the two seaplanes that left
the naval air station last Friday on a
Photographic expedition over the Mis-
sissippi delta, has been lost somewhere
off the coast of Louisiana. The men
who are reported missing are Lieuten-
ant A. NJ. Darby and Machinist's Mate
Wendll, who were flying o machine Of
the F-6-L type The two planes, ac-
cording to word received here, reached
New Orleans late in the day Friday,
and left there Sunday for Burwood,
La, where the work OF taking the aer-
iaI Photographic map was to begin.
When over the gulf about Is miles
east of Burwood the smaller plane ran
out of gas and was compelled to drop
to the water. Lieutenant Commander
Montfort and Lieut.. Botta, in the larger
F-5-L type plane. loaned Lieutenant
Darby an anchor and then flew to the
shore for supply Of gas. Upon their
return, two hours later, they could
find no trace of Lieut.. Darby or the
plane. Search was instituted, which
kept up Sunday night and part of yes
terday without avail, the aviators be-
ing compelled to cease on account of
the high winds.
The Allegheny. of the naval air sta
ton, left at 2:3o o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon to make a search of the gulf
III the vicinity where the plane was last
seen.
1t was feared at first that Chief
Culp, the photographer of the party,
was in the plane that was lost, but
1t was learned later that he was IN
the other plane.
Lieut.. Darby was in charge of the
work. and was pilot Of the lost plane,
which bore the number 253. His home

ADMIRAL MOFFETT INSPECTS
SITES FOR AVIATION FIELDS
Head of the Bureau of Aviation
of the United States Navy
Here on Official Visit.

Rear Admiral w A. Noffett, head OF
the bureau Of aviation OF the United
States Navy, spent yesterday in Pensa-
cola, making an official visit to the PEN
saeola Naval Air Station. and visiting two
sites for possible landing fields here. in
company with Hunter Brown. Bedo
Blount and Earl Thornton. Admiral Mof-
felt visited these sites as head Of the
joint committee on the selection Of a
landing field for navy and army palnes.
During the visit Of Captain Munson to
Pensacola he made the suggestion that
on the official visit of admiral Alodett
to the Naval Air Station he be approach
ed as to the locating landing field here
as naval filters are to be instructed in
the use of land as well as sea planes.
This was taken up at meeting OF the
Rotary club and a committee was ap-
pointed to report back on possible sites.
Committee Of the Rotary. the Kiwanls
and the Chamber of Commerce have been
interesting themselves in the sites, which
were visited by the admiral yesterday
afternoon, one of these being the XII
wants site near Goulding and the other
west Of Pensacola
To a representative Of The Journal,
Admiral Moffett said last night that he
had visited the landing fields and had
found both very good. but one possibly
more sandy than was desirable He
stated that If the government could find
It possible to e11pend the money neces-
sary for the fields he should be glad to
recommend Pensacola for this purpose.
but that he could not say at this time
what would be done. as the appropria-
tion for aviation had been so closely cut,
the aviation bureau having Is per cent
less this year than last for expenditures.
Owing to the fact that most of the
fight training OF The navy is done here.
Admiral Moffett said that he considered
this the most important naval air sta
ton in the country. He said that he had
visited every part Of the station, and he'd
been much impressed with the equip
ment there.
He expressed himself as much pleased
with the spirit that seemed to prevail,
and said that he felt that officers and
men, and also the civilian personnel,
were giving splendid service.
While the naval air station has been
greatly reduced since the war, it has a
great array of hangers, barracks, mess
halls, hospital buildings. concrete run
ways and paving, great docks and basin,
with equipment Of all kinds, worth mil
lions OF dollars.

OF the Wostm0reland county criminal
court to begin the trial OF Miss Knox
and Eastlake on Tuesday. Dec. 1S.
Separate trials will be held, and it was
understood that Eastlake will be the
first to face the trial jury. The in
dictments were returned by the grand
jury after it had examined the evidence
gathered by the prosecution and had
heard the testimony OF six Of the four
teen witnesses subpoenaed to appear.
Two counts were contained in the
true bill The first charged Eastlake
and Miss Knox with felony, the sec
ond charged each with murder in the
first degree.
Although it is customary for the
grand jury to return a joint indictment,
Commonwealth Attorney w. r. Mayo
requested that separate indictments be
returned for "a reason which he re-
fused to explain, but which he said
would be made known when the first
case is called for trial.
After Judge Chinn set the date for
the hearing. attorneys for the defend
ants asked permission to examine the
evidence. Commemorative Attorney

by Miss Knox, and viii be assisted by
+. w. Coleman, of Fredericksburg who
was engaged today
When asked by Judge Chinn If they
intended to ask for a change Of venue,
the defense replied that they did not
consider a change necessary The most
unusual development in the case today
was the engagement by the prosecution
Of Attorney Thomas Hunter, of King
George. Va, who had tentatively agreed
to represent EastlaSe and Miss Knox
soon after they We're arrested. Resi-
dents of Colonial Eeach have raised a
fund with which to pay Mr. Hunter to

the afternoon.

Regulations Which Permit
Manufacture of Beer

WASHINGTON, Oct As tlnexpect-
ed as a rainstorm in a desert, reguia-
tions permitting the manufacture and
use of beer for medical purposes were
issued to day by the treasury depart
ment.
Withheld since Mareh last. when
former Attorney General Nahner held the
use Of beer as q medicine to be legal
under the prohibition laws. the issuance
of the beer regulations came as a COM
plete surprise to leaders Of the dry forces
who declared there had been an under
standing with the treasury that the new
rules should not be promulgated until
the senate had acted upon the pending
anti-beer bill.
Issuance Of the beer regulations will
cause redoubled efforts to effect the
passage OF the anti-beer measures. sem
ate leaders declared. while Wayne B.
Wheeler. general counsel for the Anti
Saloon League. described the treasury 5
action as less defensible than at any
other time
Secretary Mellon, in announcing the
issuance Of the beer rules, declared that
''the legal rights Of the parties con-
cerned being plain, the department is
unable longer to delay the issuance OF
these regulations"
The new rules cover comprehensIYely
the use OF beer, wines and spirituous liq
uors as medicines. The amount Of beer
physician can prescribe at one time
for the same person is limited to two
and one-half gallons, the equivalent OF
case, but no arbitrary limit is placed
upon the number of such prescriptions
a physician may write or the same per-
son may obtain within given period.
Two quarts of wine was the limit put
upon a single prescription for that bev-
erage but otherwise the regulations are
Nhe same as for beer.
Spirituous liquors are limited to one
pint within any ten-day period and al
