BRITISH FOR BIC
AERIAL STRENGTH
Naval Experts See Disad-
vantage in Neglect of
Development.
FOR BETTER EQUIPMENT
Nation Has Eighty-Eight Flying
Fighters in Commission and
Many Reserves.
FOR BETTER EQUIPMENT

! LONDON, August 14.-.The navy of
the future must take to the air;
otherwise it will be at a hopeless dis
advantage" said Capt. Viscount Cur
zon in the house of commons. when
| the naval estimates came up for dis
! cussion. He pointed out that, accord
| ing to the latest figures the navy had
only nine fighting airplanes. in con-
| trast with the eigthty-six possessed
by the United States Navy.
| To offset the allegation of Capt.
Cur1on the air ministry has issued
statement declaring the British navy
to be better equipped with airplanes
| than that of any other power and
claiming no fewer than ninety-eight
fighting air machines in commission,
with q large number of reserves.
For Greater Equipment.
George Lambert, = former civil lord
of the admiralty. expressed the opin-
ion that the British navy was very
inadequately equipped with aircraft.
Can the navy say that from the de
fensivs point OF view the money of
the taxpayer is being spent TO the
best advantage" he asked. You are
new battleships. but it is useless to
spend money on capital ships unless
| you have sufiicient aircraft for the
; ships you already possess"
/ Lieut.. Commander Kenworthy en-
phasized the great need Of strength
| posed to two great dangers from
| the air." he said, 'massed attacks by
neete Of airplanes hying by night and
| scattering poison and disease germs
! on our cities, and having our FOOD
supplies cut of by attacks on the
| trade routes The two capital ships
| would be OF little use warding off
such raiders"
Attack By Airpianes.
Mr.. Amery, financial secretary to
the admiralty. answered some ques-
| tions about recent experimental at
tacks by airplanes on warships in the
channel. According to published sem
! sational reports. he said. the attacks
were completely successful and il
! made in real warfare would have
completely wiped out a considerable
portion of the British navy. The
maneuvers were not OF a wholly
novel character" but part of a series
| Of valuable and constructive exer-
cises which have been carried out for
| some time. 1t 10 not true that the
| airplanes threw out smoke screens.
The torpedo-carryinG airplanes were
! sighted fifteen minutes. before firing
! their torpedoes. They were under
dummy Gunfire.
There 10 a great difference between
| the effect OF dummy gunfire and real
| gunfire on tho morale and the xteadi-
ness of q flyer when at a low altitude
at the moment OF discharging torpe-
does" the speaker continued They
! were attacked by gunfire in dummy
from light cruisers and destroyers.
The attack developed under favorable
| conditions. We could not use real
! counter measures The attack thus
developed its full offensive effect and
| q number of hits were recorded under
/ the most favorable conditions. / do
not know the exact number of hits.
but / am informed that from the
| admiralty stA6 point OF view it was
lnot considered to be at all large. or
in any. way, beyond what was ex-
pected." -

EDUCATORS REVERSE STAND
N. E. A. DEPARTMENT OF SUPER
INTENDENcE COMES OUT IN DE-
NOUNcEMENT OF STERLING
TOWNER BlLL-DANGER TO
STATE RIGHTS is SEEN IN
MEASURE AND ATTACKED.

Qualifying previous Endorsement
OF the Sterling-Towner bill providing
for the creation OF federal depart
ment of education and the appropria-
ton of $100,000,000 by the national
government for annual subsidies to
the states, the Department of Super
intendence, one of the big organiza-
tons of the National Education Asso-
citation in session in Chicago last week,
adopted new declaration opposing
federal control of state schools. The
Department of superintendent rep
resents a membership of 5000 men
and women at the head of municipal
and county schools. The new resolu-
tions declared that the state which
courts federal control with the object
of obtaining financial support from
the national government should be
degraded to a territorial status"
Amendment or repeal of the Smith
Lever and the Smith-Hughes acts
(Which concern vocational education
financed in part by the federal gov
ernment) is demanded in the reso-
buttons because, it is commended, they
violate the principle of state control
of education f~
This change of attitude on the part
of the Department Of Superintendent
with respect to the Sterling Towner
bill was not the only blow given to
the scheme for liberalization of edu-
cation. There were several attacks
on the policy by individual speakers,
and change of sentiment was ap-
parent among many delegates to the
convention Of the National Educa-
ton Association, which heretofore has
given the Sterling Towner bill it's aD-
prevail and advocacy.

of America so styled in its official
name. There is no magic in calling
country. republic. Rome and
Venice we're called republics, but they
We're both oligarchies and tyrannies.
The Duty of Instantaneous.
There are twenty millions of Irish
Americans in this country and mighty
few Observation-Disclosures 1t is the duty
of every Irish-American who loves
Ireland and America to support to the
limit of his pocketbook and his influ-
ence Michael Collins and the pro-
visional government. In doing this
we must be charitabl to those who
do not think as we do. The Irish race
in America is on trial before the court
of world opinion and will play a ire
mendous part in bringing happiness
to war-torn people, or in bringing
back to it the bombed and burning
cottage of the Irish peasant and the
boys of Ireland once again with backs
against the wall, even as in that black
Easter-time they died with smiling
face and fearless heart We have won
and we can hold the support of Ameri-
ca, or we can lose it.
A Personal Appeal
You know the bitter and unreason-
ing, although sincere, opposition OF
leading Americans of 1889 to the adop-
| ton of our Federal Constitution. Sam
uel Adams and Patrick Henry refused
seats in the Constitutional Conven-
| ton; and in the campaign for the
adoption of the Constitution, Patrick
Henry and statesmen equally as great
opposed it and it's supporters with a
even suggested by the present Irish
contest.
| / know that you will pardon a per-
sonal appeal. l have spoken to you
| tonight, first of all, in the discharge of
my plain duty as an American citizen
and next as no new-found friend of
Ireland l have been an active men,
Der since l was twenty years old Of
nearly every Irish organization, legal
and illegal, constitutional and revolu-
tionary, that has existed in that time.
| have personally met and known in
Ireland and America nearly all the
great Irish leaders from Davitt and
Parnell to canon De Valera. I have
contributed money and voice and eff
fort in this mighty struggle for the
land from which our fathers and our
mothers came to this dear land of
freedom. By whatever love and what
ever faith there may be in your hearts
for me, and l know that there is some
of both, I appeal to you tonight to
stand fast by the side of those true
men across the sea, who are today the
legally constituted rulers of the Irish
government, and to march with them
to an Ireland redeemed, regenerated
and senthralled-radiant in the
light of that liberty and statehood for
which Robert Emmett lived and fought
and died.
