PROGRESS MADE IN AVIATION
The United States is More Than Hold
ina It's Own. :,

During the year 1921 the use Of air
craft for CIVILIAN transportation IN
creased 20 per cent. over the previous
year, according to a report forwarded
to the Department, of Commerce by
the Aeronautical Chamber Of Com
merce of America. II sMIl4l
The reports show that throughoat
the country 1900 civilian airplanes
were in operation during the year, and
they carried approximately 275,OOO
passengers a total distance of s,5oo,ooo
miles. These figures, according to the
report, are based upon authenticated
returns received by the aeronautical
chamber from all sections Of the
country "and tend to prove that Amer
lea is holding her own In the air. as
far as individual effort and accom-
plishment are concerned. ..
Every phase of aviation Is covered
in the report, including the various
records made during the year. Among
the outstanding civilian achievements
Is that of the aerial mail, which in
1921 made such a record for efficiency
on the transcontinental route that it Is
recognized as q model for civilian
aerial transport the world over the
report says. Letters have been de-
livered in New York two days after
casual mailing on the Pacific coast
it continues. 1.-THE service has an av-
erage of SS.S2 per cent. efficiency, that
is, in completed trips on scheduled
time since it was started in May, 1918.
+ "The air mail has during the last
year completed its wireless communi-
cation system, the IA stations now
having radio plants, three operated by
the navy department and the others
by the air mail service"

FEW SPIES SHOT
But the Germans Had $500 in Paris
During the War.

But the Germans Had $500 in Paris
... During the War.
Paris was filed with paid German
spies during the war, but only forty
FIVE of them We're ourt-martialled
and shot, according to Col. Emile
Massard, who commanded the count
er-spy section in the Paris region up
to the armistice, says Paris dispatch
to the New York Herald, Col. Mas
sard recently described the thrilling
career and the punishment Of the
danger Matt Hpri, who was convicted
of being a spy for the enemy and was
executed by the French.
| To-day the Liberte prints the first
Of series of narratives by Col. Mas
sard, not only telling how the German
spies worked, but showing how they
neglected tiny details Of their scheme,
thereby enabling the FRENCH army's
counter espionage service to bring
them to justice-in one case just In
time to prevent the dynamiting Of the
| Hotel des 1nvalides and numerous
apartments near by, occupied by mill
tary authorities.
AT one time. according to Col. Mas
,sard, the espionage service directed
from Berlin the operations of more
than 5000 hired girls, placed In var
ious hotels and cafes; 100 ex;officers
in French business houses, so beauti-
full Prusslan girls in the army canfeens
in French garrison towns and zoo
speoially selected servants assigned to
the homes Of the bourgeois, as far as
possible in contact with officers of the
French army. Their reports reached
Berlin after passing the inspection
and receiving the approval of master
German spies in Brussels, Amsterdam
Geneva and Lausanne.
Just to give an example OF how in
trieate a, problem 1t was to catch these
spies, once the war was declared, Col
Aassard recounts the visit Of a DASH
ing young officer, wearing the tabs OF
the French General Staff, who arrived
early one morning at the artillery park
in Paris. When the conlmandant OF
the park was notified he decided to
investigate personally and found the
officer examining anti craft and other
guns with the precision Of an expert.
The commandant shrewdly asked
the visitor to aid him In counting the
weapons aloud. Although the latter
seemed to scent danger, he could not
refuse such simple request. When
he called out the number twenty
ninth" (yingtneuvieme) the peculiar
coordination of two ''vs" with q 1t" in
the middle proved his undoing, for the
combination is one the German tongue
Is unable to master, invariably pro-
nouncingY the second W. as an 'if''.
With q shout of rage the eommandant
felled his visitor and turned him over
to the guard, who discovered hidden
in the visitors boot certificate iden-
| tifying him as German officer. A
hasty court martial followed and
within a few minutes the spy was
bound to the execution post.

midsummer day in Independence Hall
at philadelphia. The common impress
sion is that the Declaration was
.ssigned" on that day. That is not cor
rect. The Declaration Of Independence
was adopted on July 4. The engrossed
parchment, which now is to find a per-
manent home in the great library Of
congress; was not signed until August
Q, almost a month later, when fifty
three members Of the continental con-
gress affixed their names. Three others
signed later.
AS every schoolboy knows, John
Hancock, of Massachusetts, was the
first to sign the document, and the
boldness of the signature has passed
into a national proverb, typified by the
inscription beneath his statute in one
of the capitol corridors: HE wrote
his name where all nations should be-
hold it and all time should not efface
it."
Congress did not act soon enough to
preserve the original parchment of the
declaration, for it was nearly ruined
almost a hundred years ago. In 1928,
when John Quincy Adams, afterward
president, was secretary of state in
Monroe's cabinet, a copper plate fac
smile was made. Unfortunately, the
process was imperfect, and the great
document came near being obl:terated.
The wet sheet pressed on the face OF
the parchment drew out the ink, so
that many of the signatures and much
of the text became illegible and al
most invisible. TX. 49,.
From 1859 until 1S41 the Declaration
was in the department iof state,
housed in that early period in MANY
firetraps, here and elsewhere. From
1S41 to 1877 it was in the patent office.
After being shown only on special oc-
casions it was sealed in 1894 to keep it
from light and air. The present build
ing occupied by the state department
is under formal condemnation of the
National Board of Underwriters as an
unsafe fire hazard. Thus the docu-
ment, haying gone through all of The
.yicissitudes of a century and half
is only in this present year safe from
destruction by fire.
Librarian Has Safety Plan.
Herbert Putnam, librarian of con-
gress, appearing before the legisla-
tive appropriations subcommittee, of
which Mr.. Cannon is chairman, in urg-
ing authorization of the necessary ap-
preparation to care for the two parch-
ments, said the state department
turned the two documents over to the
library, knowing they would be much
safer there, and believing also that
they could be placed so that the public
might see them without damage to
them and without endangering them.
There is a way" said DR.. Putnam,
'if we could construct, say, on the
second floor of the library, on the
western side, in that long, open gal
lery, rallied enclosure, material of
