have added bright pages to aerial
history. probably will return to the
capitol this fall with an ear more
alphabetically inclined than ever
toward requests for funds for avia-
ton purposes.
While the legislators last session
provided more literally than usual
in authorizing five year building pro-
grams for the army and navy air
ant secretaries in the wa. navy and
commerce departments % look after
aviation activities. 1t is expected that
the needs OF aviation will be studied
more carefully than ever this win
Ter.
It Is regarded here as certain that
there will be no disposition to cur
tail either OF the two building pro-
grams one of which contemplates de-
livery and maintenance of 1000 first
class fighting planes for the navy at
the end of three years. md the other
looking to provision for 1900 planes
for the army at the end Of the same
period.
From expressions that have been
made about the country on the Lind
bergh. Chamberlin-Levine. Byrd and
the Hawaiian flights. it is obvious
that members of congress have been
paying close attention TO what has
been going on in the air, and those
that have spoken have rad only
words of praise and admiration.
Acting Chairman James of the
house military committee. at the
present Is absent on an inspection
tour that contemplates a visit to all

engineer who took him to England with MIN ana

was the former socialdemocratic member Of the
reichstag Ruhle, who at that time had become
typical ultra-left supporter of the K A. P. D. (Com
munist Labor Party. Holz very rapidly grasped
the world outlook and the aims of Marxism, but as
regards the methods of the class struggle he never
obtained feminist training. Dominated by pas
sionate temperament he exerted suggestive force
upon the masses.
In 1920, on the occasion of the Kapp Putsch, Holz
hnmediately emerged from his legaty and with his
sew hundred armed proetarians, who nevertheless
yielded him unquestioning obedience, succeeded in
exercising such a power in Vogtland that the gov

prosecution desired The court found way out by
bringing in a verdict Of an unprecedented killing
that is manslaughter. The sentencing OF Holz 10

Of civil rights enabled the court also in other cases
to represent him as a who did not nave mucn

At his trial Holz admitted all his revolutionary

murder and mansaughter OF the estate owner and
two other alleged attempts to kill. After being sen
fenced Holz consistently characterized the sentence

widow OF the deceased, Frau Tess, has admitted
in written declaration that she may have been mis-

HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS
 IN PROSPECT

The War Department an- nounced March 1, it's approval of undesignated proposals for the improvement of Hyder harbor, to protect it from Sal mon River floods, according to Washington press reports re- ceived here Thursday.
 Owing to the indefinite char acter of the announcement it is impossible to determine at this time whether the item re- fers to the proposal long ad- vocated by the Hyder Cham Der of Commerce looking to the removal of the flood dan ger now menacing the town, or to the improvement of the harbor, for the survey of which an appropriation was authoriz- ed more than two years ago at the instance of Delegate Sutherland.
 On the occasion of his last visit, the delegate promised to use his influence toward se- curing an appropriation for the first named project, which previously had been denied a recommendation by the War Dept. Board of Engineers for Alaska, after hearings held here by Col. James e. Steese. Later, however, the Chamber of Commerce took an appeal direct to the War Department, submitting additional evidence showing that the town is con- stantly threatened by the en- croachments of Salmon River, hence it is possible that the announcement may refer to the flood protection proposal. In which event we may be pro- foundly thankful.
