tagging in Aviation.

Official figures have been made pub.
lie relative to the personnel and equip
ment Of the Army and Navy aviation
services OF the five leading powers,
France, Great Britain, the United
States, Italy and Japan. They show
this country occupying a middle posi-
ton, and France leading, with Japan
at the end of the line in both respects.
France has a personnel Of $500,
Great Britain $1,000, United States
$500, Italy $500, Japan 3,100. OF
serviceable planes France has 1850,
Great Britain and the United States
500 each and Italy and Japan $50 each.
In point Of both personnel and
planes the United States should be in
the lead. Considering the extent of its
seacoasts and Of its interior terrain,
this country requires as potential
defense force a larger aviation estab-
lishment than any other. AS the BIRTH
place Of the heavier than.air machine
It should have led in aviation from the
beginning. The great war, however,
gave the European countries a stimu-
LUIS and a start, carrying them
ahead. But during the war a squirt

building and in the training Of per-
sonnet that for time promised To
bring the United States to the front
in this respect. Then everything
slumped. Despite intense activity
while the war was on, and the expendi'
ture of an enormous amount of money,
the net result in actual equipment was
disappointingly small. Doubtless there
are many men now scattered through
various lines of business occupation
who are competent for aviation work.
Some of them are actually flying in
the mail and commercial services. But
there is no provision for them in the
military and naval air forces even as
reserves.
Inasmuch as in the judgment of all
greater part in the next war-if one is
fought, and of that there can be little
doubt, despite all efforts at world peace
than it did in even the last one, it is
idle and foolish for this country to de-
pend upon a quick organization and
production to prepare for it. We
thought we could make airplanes so
fast that we would "blacken the sky"
of Europe with American flyers when
we did go into the war in 1917. But
the melancholy fact remained that our
flyers over there, well trained and
skilled as they were, had to use for
eign-built machines. And so far from
blackening the sky, notwithstanding
the immense sums spent over here in
training flyers, our contributions to the
aviation forces of the allies were pitt
fully small in numbers.
If the lessons of the great war are
learned the United States will go at
this matter of aviation equipment and
personnel training on a much larger
scale than has been adopted since the
If the lessons are ignored
this country will continue to lag, with
an equipment and an air force wholly
disproportionate to its size and its
need in case Of war.

Americans in the Making.

That was a graphic pen picture
drawn by the Associated Press of the
scramble of 5000 immigrants into the
land of promise on the list of July; of
the big steamers in leash off the har-
Dor of New York waiting for the hour
to usher in the new month with its
quota; of the cheering crowds of rela-
tives awaiting them; of the eagerness
to be first ashore, and all that sort Of
thing. Coming from all parts Of dis
tressful Europe. leaving woe and ter
ror and hardship behind, what must
their feeling have been to realize that
at last they were in America with un-
bounded possibilities before them.
Some of them will stay in New
York and add to already congested
conditions there, while they join in the
pursuit of the American dollar; others
will follow the admonition to Go west,
young man." and settle on farm or in
factory; there are sturdy laborers
dustry and building; several scores of
women Were described as seeking hus-
bands and homes. Naturally, at this
time they are intent upon their own
personal affairs, concentrating upon
the immediate task in hand Of making
living and getting start.
Soon their attention must be brought
to another phase of existence-their
responsibility to the nation they have
adopted. They must be made to realize
that life in the new land is not a one.
sided proposition, with all the benefits
on their own side. They must be
shown that they owe certain obliga.
tions of loyalty TO the institutions OF
the land, the laws which govern all
the citizens, and that loyalty to and
support of the government is not only
expected, but required of them.
Fortunately there are organizations
which teach and foster ideals to the
prospective new Americans, for, while
some will no doubt be intent upon
making their pile" and returning to
the fatherland, it is safe to assume
that the ma jority will become natural
ICED and assume citizenship. Let the
work of Americanization start at once
and never slacken. Give the immi-
grants the glad hand of welcome, but
fail not to warn them of what the
country demands OF them in loyalty
and service.

Sewers.

The sum of 100000 will be asked
by the sewer department of the Dis
trict for the next fiscal year for ex-
tending the sewer system. 1t is the
largest sum ever asked by that de-
partment for a single year, and is con-
siderably more than twice the amount
available IN the current fiscal year,
but it is believed that conditions re.
quire the substantial increase. 1t is
pointed out that the extension of
sewers has not kept pace with the
growth OF the city during several
years, and that the sewer system Is
already far short of the Districts
needs. New areas are being built up
and settled on. and these are calling
for the extension of sewers and water
mains, and the money available for
use by the sewer department in the
current fiscal year is far short Of the
amount that should be spent to keep
step with the need for sewers.
The appropriation asked for sewer
construction during the present year
was $1,500,000, and the sum allotted
was $S50.000. A recent storm on the
southerly side of the Eastern branch
showed that sewers in large section
were not able to carry off the unusual
rainfall, and floods caused loss of life,
wide destruction of private property
and extensive damage to roads, streets
and bridges. The appropriation for
running sewer pipes from trunk
sewers to new dwellings is insufficient
to meet demands, though part Of this
cost is borne by the property holder
for whose particular benefit the con.
