and has been a senator since that time.)
No other aspect of the flight of Colonel Lindbergh
across the Atlantic has deeper interest than that re-
lsting TO the peace Of earth. To say that universal
peace is most to be desired Of all the ends Of progress
is but to express one Of the Oldest and most familiar
aspirations Of humanity.
The most serious challenge TO Christianity and 10
all the world today is for the earliest possible adoption
Of some system which will substitute reason for force
in the settlement Of international differences. Our
civilization may be hopelessly impaired by another
general conflict. Two conditions sustain these gloomy
conjeetures. The first relates TO the horrors Of mod
en warfare. Machine power and chemicals which have
brought 80 many blessings in eras Of peace may he
utilized for unspeakable destruction. terror, mutilatioa
in periods Of war.
Even the airplane. so useful and so promising in
commercial lines, may become perhaps the deadliest
instrument Of battle. Marshal Foeh has stated that
one Of the great factors In the next war will be air
craft and that the personalities Of aircraft attack are
almost beyond measure.
The best resistance to sircraft is found only in the
construction Of larger and more efficient aircraft. II
the recent failure Of so many airplanes to cross the
sea under their own power be cited as an argument
against any serious danger 70 Us from an assault BY
other nations, let il be member that airsbips OF
the zepplin type are able TO carry planes, and that
these airships have already made a number Of success
ful transcceanie trips.
Sea vessels for the carriage Of planes. known as
airplane carriers, are now in the navies OF all the
leading countries and can provide . base zoo miles
from shore for IN air atatek.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l.-In his

Time was-before we had a comp

In fact, congress finally decided
that 20. king" was being overdone
and decided to put the brakes on.
Accordingly the post of comp

l06 ARE MISSING
 IN GREAT TYPH0ON
Believed Drowned in Storm in
 Philippines

Manila, P. l.. June 1 (UP)-The constabulary today expressed fear that 1OS persons, reported missing, had drown when the inter island steamer Negros foundered in a ty- phoon Saturday.
 The ship sank 150 miles south of Manila, it was believed.
 The captain. six of the crew, the chief engineer: and 100 passengers were those missing.
 The Negros, a 2S0-ton craft left the island of Romblon Thursday with l50 passengers and large cargo. For two days all hands battled the typhoon and terrific seas.
 The extraordinary heroism of an officer on the first day of the storm was credited with saving 70 lives when he succeeded in loading 50 passengers and some of the crew aboard the lifeboat.
 After 30 hours without food or drink, and in spite of terrific buff feting in the wild sea. they succeed ed in landing on the shores of Tay- abas province Sunday night, reports here said.
 Two other inter-island steamers were overdue and it was feared they might have foundered also. The Aurora was three days overdue from the Island of Palawan. and the Bo- hol two days overdue out of Cebu.
 The Aurora and the Sohol carried passengers and considerable freight. The Yangoo company, owners of the Negros. chartered an inter-island vessel today and sent 1t to the scene of the wreck. The typhoon was con- tinuing and little hope was held for the missing.
