ALL AROUND PREPAREDNESS

To many persons preparedness
means the maintenance of an ade
quate army, navy ready for SER
vice, such factories as will supply
the soldiers needs of ammunition,
and some minor matters of mill
tary necessity To the officers of
the war department who are study
ing the subject in the light World
War experience, the things men
tened are only the beginning of
adequate preparedness, the kind
of preparedness that Is; necessary
if the people of the United States
are to lave the greatest possible
amount of protection from war risk,
and il they are to AVOID tae un-
necessary costs and sacrifices of
unpreparedncss.
The problem is to mako all the
agencies OF national defence, in,
Guiding industrial, transportation.
financial and professional resources
as well as the military man power,
available for use with the least
possible delay Such preparedness
would have saved to the United
States tens of thousands of lives
and hundreds of millions of dollars
and it might have prevented the
world war altogether.
The War department at the pre-
sent time IS making comprehensive
plans for shat kind of preparedness
and those plans will be carried in
to effect to the extent that they
are approved by congress and by
public sentiment. They will be
opposed by the people who think
that preparedness is an invitation
to war, and also by the more nu-
mcrGus class who are openly or
see.ctly opposed to strengthening
the powers of government. They
should be approved and supported
by all Americans who desire pro-
lection from the evils of war, and
who wish, if war comes, to have its
evils reduced to mtnimum.-Pu

convulsed with laughter at the ra-

clever play.

TAKES SET TO KEEP
IN TOUCH WITH FANS
Maxim, on Ocean Voyage, to Fol.
low Work of Amateurs
Here.

NEW YORK. January lg.-Hiram
Percy Maxim, president of the Ameri-
can Radio Relay League, who sailed
on the Belgenland today for tour
of the Mediterranean, will keep in
touch with amateur radio operators in
Europe and America by means of a
private radio set, which he had in
stalled on the ship. Recent experi-
ments by the league have proven the
possibility of inter-continental anna
teur communication and Mr.. Maxim's s
demonstration is being watched by
radio operators of Europe and Amer
lea, as the capstone of the notable
achievement of last November, when
the Atlantic was first bridged by
amateurs. 1t is believed to be the first
instance in which an amateur has in
stalled his own set on a trans oceanic
vessel.
The enterprise was made possible
Inrough the cooperation of the British
Marconi Company. which controls radio
operation on the Belgenland. An aerial
ana receiving set were installed in
Mr. MaXim's stateroom. The head
quarters OF the league at Hartford,
Conn.,, will send him a nightly pro-
gram OF news and features. He will
reply by the commercial wireless on
the ship. He will also hear amateur
operators in France. Great Britain and
Holland, and will be in indirect COM
munication at all times with Capt:
Donald B. Macmillan and his crew of
arctic explorers at the north pole. If,
in midocean. he gets out of reach of
the American senders, the messages
will be sent to Europe and relayed
back by the European operators.
A new band of wave-leugths will
be used. Amateurs previously have
used waves of 200 meters. These will
be 100. New design fundamentals, al
though following orthodox patterns,
have made this possible. Mr.. Maxim
is a son of Sir Hiram Maxim, knighted
by Queen Victoria for his scientific
work, and a cousin of Hudson Maxim.
He is accompanied by Mrs. Maxim.

| United States fleet is being fitted out
with aircraft, which, with the aid of
appropriations from Congress for new
planes, should be the most COM

AT the naval air station, Anacos-

undergone or are undergoing final

characterized the best in the service
From this group the Navy has picked
officers to fly in national and inter
national sea and land plane races,
and last year they acquitted them
selves with the highest honors
The fleet needs four distinct classes
of aircraft-the fighter or combat
plane, the submarine scouting plane,
the observation and "spotting" plane
and the bomber or torpedo-carrying
plane. Planes corresponding to these
needs are at the station now and mo-
