Aviation Progress
inVeStigat

Aviation leaders, usual predict the brightest
and banaiest year in the nduStrys history The year
just passed wasn't especially bright one, and
there is little doubt that 1880 easily will outshine it,
Aviation just has passed through year quite mis-
cradle with growing pains 1t has suffered series of
disastrous crashes and there has been severe read
justnent in the manufacturing industry. Some call
it depression. Several thousand more planes were
built than could be sold.
This a natural predicament for young and
booming industry to get into Aviations growth from
now on promises to be sane and firm.
Despite this depression, aviation really has gone
forward Mileage flown by mail and passenger planes
scheduled routes has increased tremendously and
is nearing 100000 miles daily. The outstanding de-
veopment has been the vast increase in number of
passenger airplanes established
Almost equally outstanding is the fact that none of
them yet is making money. Fares on arplaneS have
been cut drastcaly in the last few months, removing
of the greatest obstacles against general use of
the arplane The other obstacle an ngrained fear
of flying
The air mail still is the backbone of Americas
commercial aviation. A few new lines were estab-
lshed during the year, but the most significant de-
velopment the determination of the postofdce to
cut down payments to contractors.
The postof1ce faces loss of about 100000 year.
~ unQ6r present contracts. A new agreement is being
worked out and within the year rates likely to be
adjusted that both posto1ce and the contractors
will come out even.
The navy is fairly well equipped. The f1ve-year
program stipulated that the navy should have 1000
planes by July l. 1881 On last July l. with two years
yet to go, it had 500 planes.
AS for the army, the fve-year program stipulated
that there should be 345 planes at the end Of the
second year. The army had 1878 planes and POI on
order This apparent discrepancy is in training planes
and will disappear next year. There is d serious
shortage Of planes for tactical units The air corps
budget for the coming year has been sliced several
million dollars by the budget bureau.
The arm Of the national defense represented hy
the air services is bound to be seriously impaired
unless congress keeps its promise and furnishes suf-
Gent money

Churches Back Labor

Labor has won support of the churches in its
efforts to obtain justice the southern textile mills
In the midst Of American Federation OF Labor plans
for an extensive southern organizing campaign and
renewed demands for congressional investigation Of
antiabor abuses there the recognized social agencies
of the Protestant Catholic and Jewish churches have
issued statement condemning working conditions
and violence against workers.
At first the American public. confused by the con-
ficting charges and claims of labor and employers
was not OF the facts in that industrial warfare
But the facts are clear There have been
various nonpartSan reports the situation Official
government figures prove the long hours and poor
wages The neutral press has sent investigators and
reported almost without exception in substantiation
Of labor's charges
Now the organized investigating agencies Of the
churches add their powerful voices to the protest with
the Joint statement of the Federal Council of
Churches the National Catholic Welfare Conference
and the Central Conference Of American Rabbis
In addition. the Federal Council Of Churches has
issued special report disproving the alibi Of mill
owners that Marion. N c. strikes, in which six
workers we're killed by shers. were caused by out
side "agitators"
According to the churches joint statement:
The tragedies at Gastonia and Marion, N c.
have appalled, all those who accept the respective
ethical teachings of our religions. Right and wrong
Ia such conflicts can not be decided by violence To
attempt to bring peace by bludgeOn and bullet in

NoWIS the lime

IN the matter Of music the task Of
H. awarding a palm Is somewhat
simplifled by the fact that no piece
Of so-calIed serious music has risen
during the year. There have been
no native symphonies of any conse-
quence or any opera whatsoever.
Yet even if there had, think case
might be made for the composer Of
the lighter type of American music.
The leader this year in the max
ing Of hits Is Jerome Kern. His
"Old Man River" Of course, does
not fall within the year, since it is
several months older than that, but
it may be mentioned as a piece of
music based upon native models Of
which anybody who had written it
would have right to be very proud.
But Mr.. Kern's "Show Boat" falls
outside the span of time allotted to
us, his Sweet Adeline" fits in very
neatly and it is among the most
tuneful Of light opera scores.
It Is well enough to regret the
passing Of such masters as Victor
Herbert and De Koven, but we are
a dead folk if we insist upon wait
ing until Jerome Kern Is dead be-
fore we recognize the fact that he
stands high and handsome among
the music makers of the world.
Here, then, is my quartet all over
again: Hemingway, Balderston,
Howard and Kern.

REASON By rf nzSBIs

KXTE are delighted to have Colonel Fuller, the cele-
w brated English military critic, declare in his
book on General Grant that the hero of Appomattox
was the greatest strategist of his age of the war
and consequently, its greatest general"
This praise coming from English authority, is
the more acceptable since his countrymen have long
insisted that Lee and Jackson were the outstanding
figures Of our Civil war
In recent years there has been a disposition to dis
parage Grant the same being but incident of the
epidemic of character assassination which has claimed
for its victims Washington Lincoln and other indis
pensables but for longer period Grant has suffered
at the hands of many who have extoled Lee at his
expense.
T. ere always is a disposition to defy the leader
Of lost cause.
1t is much the same emotion which waters the
stock Of the young man who goes wrong, tendency
which you have witnessed many time
Always We paint marvellous pictures of what the
dissipated youth Of ordinary brightness might have
accomplished, had he walked the straight and narrow
path.
IT0E jobs of Grant and Lee were essentially differ
4 ent and in their respective fields both were mas
tiers; 1t was the Job Of Grant to pursue the offensive
IN hostile land, to watch all the jumps his adver-
sary might take, while the job of Lee was to defend
in a region where every human being, every road,
and every ford was his ally.
Lee found the offensive vastly different piece Of
work, as witness his one and only effort which
The distance from those days is SO great we can
not appreciate the services Of Grant, We can not
visualize the sense Of heplessness which pervaded the
north when the south victory after victory,
neither can We hear the cheers which rent the north
ern sky when Grant hurled his troops against
Buckner at Fl. Henry and Fl. Doneson and won vic
tories which dispeled the gloom and gave the north
the mental attitude, indispensable to success.
Nor can We rebuild the long, heart-rending cam
palgn before Vcksburg when thousand liars famed
the nations impaterce with stories of Grants incom-
petence and intoxication but all those evil tongues
were silenced when his superb strategy compelled the
surrender Of Pemberton and made the Mississippi
free.
In that campaign Grant had the sublime audacity
TO turn his back upon all the traditions of war and
cut himself loose from his base of supplies and the
end justified him
us campaign against Lee was assumed after all
his predecessors had failed bearing with them
into failure the illusion that Lee was almost super
human, but Grant did not believe in fairies or In
supermen and he held Lee in his grasp until Sherman
and Thomas in the could make the cefeat of
the south absolutely inevitable.
And Grant cid this In the only way it could have
been done, by terrific fighting.

Soldiers Bonus

Approximately three and half million veterans
had applied for adjusted compensation certificates
when the time for filing expired at midnight Thurs
day. The applications had ultimate potential
value OF around s3,500OO0O00.
The certificates are in the form of twenty-yesr
Endowment insurance policies, based On credit for
length of service. They have a loan value, which
100000 veterans have used.
Legislation to extend still further the time in
which veterans may apply for their bonus is pend
ing, but there is great demand for its passage.
The law has been in effect for five years. and few
entitled to its benefits have failed to take advantage
of them except through deliberate choice.
Thus it appears that the nuch-mooted question of
the bonus passes into history issue, and it re-
mains only to pay during the years to come. Few

high spot in acting. Leslie Howard

pletely rounded Of all current per-
formances in the role of the COM
edy's hero, Peter Standish.
Of the four men named. three are
Americans. Leslie Howard is the
lone Englishman, although John
Balderston has lived for many years
In London, which saw his play
months before it was introduced in
New York.
In the matter Of "a Farewell to
Arms, 1t is possible to cite the bulk
of critical authority. Few books
have been reviewed so enthusiast
cally and while there may be scat
tering dissent no other novel o. me
day looms up as a challenger
[ think that nationality in the
arts is more properly a thing of the
spirit. 1t is difficult to imagine
F'renchman or a German writing
"a Farewell to Arms" Its sophiSti-
Gated sentimentality Is typical Of
our temper.
