Anxious to Have U. S. Win Big

BY ROBERT s. THORNSBURGH,
Cosmopolitan News Service.
Deploring Americas apathy to-
ward aviation development as "a
national peril and scandal" Adj
miral William A. Moffett, chief Of
the naval air service, declared to-
day the United States must win
the international seaplane races
in England, September %, to
arouse this country from a fatal
lethargy.
Says Nation Must Wake Up.
Admiral Moffett said the nation
must awaken to the real possibil-
tiles of navigation of the air, al
ready recognized in other countries
where vast fleets Of commercial
and fighting planes are building,
and to look upon aviation as an
industry. rather than a sport.
THE seaplane races are not
primarily sporting events" he de,
clared, but look to the development
Of planes and engines that will
meet the most severe tests, both
from the commercial and combat
standpoint They are of outstanding
importance because of the stimu-
lating effect on airship develop
ment."
The United States, although en-
hA fWnk
fronted with the best aviators of
France, England, Belgium and Italy
using the finest planes those coun-
tries can produce, has good
chance to win the race, according
to Admiral Moffett.
Victory means the event will be
held in United States in 1924 and
possession of the famous Snyder
air trophy by the American navy.
Admiral Moffett said the Ameri-
can entries would represent planes,
the last word in aviation art, while
the pilots would be selected after q
careful study Of the navy's S75
flyers.
TO Train At Anacostia.
for the American team will be as.
for intensive training. Three sea-
planes, the most powerful ever
built by the navy, to be piloted by
the American team. are under con-
etruction. They are expected to
develop speed of more than ITS
miles an hour.
The contest will take place off
the Isle of Wight. England will
have two planes in the race,
France, Italy and Belgium, three
each.
Officials of the bureau of aero.
nautics declared today that lack OF
government recognition OF aviation
as an industry and failure OF Con-
gress to adopt ADEQUATE laws for
licensing OF pilots, testing of planes
and otherwise providing regulation,
is preventing the creation Of a
gigantic commercial aerial marine
in United States.
Under present conditions, It was
pointed out, irresponsible pilots in
defective planes may fly at random
over the country without regard to
life or property safety. Responsible
corporations are unwilling to de-
velop aviation on a commercial
basis without adequate Government
protection.
Aeronautics officials said large
fleets OF commercial planes ere
essential as a reserve in time Of
war. Nations of Europe are de.
veioping big air services. Depart
ment OF commerce cables report
new commercial lines are to be
opened soon between Berlin, Lon

LLOYD GEORGE ID
 BOW ID ASQUITH
Probably Agrees That He Shall
 Be Party Leader
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Nov. Is. The question whether Mir. Asquith or Mir. Lloyd George would assume the leadership of the reunited liberal party. which has been exciting the greatest inter- est in view of the deep-rooted political animosity between these two states men, appears to have been settled quietly at their peace meeting on , Tuesday.
 No official announcement has been forthcoming from the liberal head quarters. In fact this issue has been carefully avoided by the liberal poli- ticians and the liberal press, but poli- tical experts in d position to know the facts say the situation is this:
 Mir. Lloyd George has agreed to work with and under Mir. Asquith in view of the latter's position as the elder statesman and leader Of the third strongest party in the house as that body is constituted at present. the labor party being the second and the Lloyd George party ranking fourth.
 Should the liberals be successful in the election, Mir. Asquith will be asked to form cabinet in which Mir Lloyd George would be second in command.
 But Mir. Asquith, it is asserted, having thus preserved his dignity, would quietly retire from the premier ship at the expiration of a few months, upon which Mir. Lloyd George would assume the leadership of the liberals and fill again his old role of prime minister.

Secretary Mellon Will Make No Fur thcr Suggestions Regarding Qucs- tions Of Taxes, He Says. ,s

Washington, Nov. 15.- The treas ury having stated its case on tho ques- ton of taxes, officials of the depart ment expect to make no further sug- gestions for changes in the revenue laws unless called upon by congress
 Secretary Mellon will ignore' re- quests that he reply to various critics of the program he suggested early this week 10 Acting Chairman Green of the house ways and means committee. The secretary feels there is nothing to be gained by entering into a long range controversy and desires to leave the case in the hands of the senate and house.
 Several of the attacks have been di- rected against Mir. Mellon's proposi- ton on the ground that it sets up an alternative of a tax reduction of soldiers bonus, and to that extent is an effort to kill the bonus. The sec retary's view is that the country can

By The Associated Press.


 Munich, Nov. 15.-The Barvarian dictator, yon Kaher, who with Gen. von Lossow and Colonel Seisser has l been lodging in one of the infantry barracks since the Ludendorff- Hitler Putsch, today transferred his offices to the government building. The ap- breaches to the building are blocked with barbed wire entanglements >and patrolled by sentinels, and troops are bivouacked in the court basement.
 Won Kaher ordered displayed the old German imperial flag of black, white and red instead of the official flag of the German republic, which is black, red and gold. The significance of this order is the subject of conjec- ture and it is interpreted by some as indicating that the dictator has small confidence in the Berlin government.
 Thirteen of those killed on Friday last in the fighting which marked the suppression of the nationalist putsch occupations, advertised in large let ters, indicate that they were from the middle class and included several former officers.
 The German fighting union (Deutsche Kampfbund), one of the Hitler societies, posted notices iu- scribed to the victims, reading: They died to free the fatherland. They died for the coming greater Germany. They fell upon the field of honor" Hundreds of members of the Kampf- bund were present at the burial,
 General Ludendorff in full uniform attended cremation of the body of von Scheubner- Richter. another vic tim, at the cemetery Of Ostfriedhof today. Speaking with feeling. Luden- dorff said In part: Those that have fallen are not tho last who will die for the German peoples movement"
 Captain Ehrhardt of Kapp Putsch fame. who has taken Hitler's place as commander of the Kampfbund, and his principal lieutenants placed their right hands on the coffin before it was moved into the furnace and sworo that they would devote their lives 10 the German peoples movement, re- beating their oath in unison and in solemn tones.
 r.udendorff was wildly acclaimed by the crowds which were held back by police lines, and gravely saluted in responds. He looked rather old and tired and sad.
