That Othcra BaLTee-More

On CQ6 SOUTHWEST GIp OA LI1C
Irish Free State in the County
Cork, a few miles from the birth
place of Michael MacWhite, the
Irish Minister, is a little town
called Baltimore. In the center of
the state, in the County Longford,
Is another town of Baltimore.
This new geographic knowledge
raises the queStion-is there poetic
=. Justice in the reluctance of the
Irish. Free State to recognize any
King but Edward VIII?
Does the State resent Prime
Minister Baldwin's objection to
the lady from Baltimore, Mary
land?
Has President de Valera let this
sentimental consideration lead
him to the practical step Of cut
ting his country's last internal tie
with the British throne?
Naturally I can't be expected
TO answer my own questions. But
I do know a little about the his
tory of the two Irish Baltimores.
Especially about the ancient con-
. nection of the Baltimore in
County Cork with the Baltimore
in the Maryland Free State.
~- Sir George Calvert, when he
planned the settlement of Mary
land, was a mere country squire
in the Kingdom of Ireland. Irish
men believe that when he chose
his title of Baron OF Baltimore
- from James the First, he was
thinking not of the town in coun-
tv Longford, but from the other
baltimore in County Cork which
was once pillaged by Algerian pi-
rates.
Calvert was a great humani-
tartan. Therefore, according TO
Irish tradition, he was so affected
by this towns misfortune that ne
decided to perpetuate its name
among the pioneers in the new
American world.
The pillage of the Irish Balti-
more is a dramatic incident in
irish history. In 1881 two Alge-
rian galleys landed at the small
seaport in the Irish channel in
the dead Of night. They burned
the town and bore off into slaV-
ery all who were not too old or
too young or too fierce.
THOMAS Davis, popular Irish
noet. wrote long romantic his
torical ballad, "The Sack OF Balt1-
more" and dedicated it to this un-
happy village. In his first stanza
one learns that:
$50 full Of love and peace and
rest-its daily labor Ger
Upon that cOzy creek there lay
the town Of Baltimore"
But the wicked pirates come
and
"The yell of Allah breaks above
the prayer and shrek and
roar.
Oh blessed God! The Algerine
is lord of Baltimore"
A beautiful, heroic maiden ap-
pears in a later stanza of the bal
lad when:
1.-THE maid that BandOn gallant
sought is chosen for the
Dey-
She's safe-he'S de a d-she
stabbed him in the midst Of
his Serai;
And, when to die a death Of
fire, that noble maid they
bore,
She only smiled-ODriscOIrs
chiId-she thought Of Bal
timOre."

Alaska Cities
May Get PWA
Projects Soon
5000, 900, 900 Is Available
Under New Setup- Good
Chance, Municipal Jobs

Several PWA projects in Alaska
now on the approved list have a
good chance of getting action this
year as q result of the new Public
Works Administration setup, it is
believed by Ross A. Gridley, PWA
State Engineer-Inspector for Al
aska, who has just received in
formation on the non Federal pro-
gram.
Under the new plan, 10000, 900
will be available for non Federal
projects, he said, worked out
through the grant and loan plan,
the Government furnishing IS per
cent of the cost and the local
municipalities furnishing SIS per
cent.
Projects which have been approx
ed but have been held up due to
lack of appropriations probably will
be pushed forward, he said. Among
those which the engineer believes
may get early action are the Ket-
chikan street improvement project
placed at $4,000; similar job at
Anchorage at 100000; $4,000 for
street and sidewalk improvements
at Skagway and $4,000 for a gym
nasium at Sitka.

filled its mission, it would return
to its own landing field until ready
to be serviced and to start out
again.
Technical Difficulties
The great technical -.1ficulties
arising out of a war time con-
centration of the GH.Q. Air Force
were brought home to the Air
Corps early last winter when q
concentration of 300 planes was
carried out in Florida. 1t was said
that every landing field in the state
was used to accommodate that force
and that it would have been phys
ically impossible to bring together
/ 900 planes within a radius of
less than four or five adjoining
States.
Lack of ground facilities would
tend to nullify the efficacy Of the
force, which is now intended to
be the spearhead Of national de-
Tense plans. This force would
have the first army contact with
an invading enefy, whether by
land or sea, and would attempt to
harrass and delay its approach I'M
til less mobile forces could be
brought into action
Year And a Halt To Construct
About a year and half will
be needed to construct each of the
air bases. as the plans are now
drawn The Air Force will be
brought to its full complement of
l 900 combat planes by the end of
1897, according TO the existing pro-
curement program. and it is hoped
to have one air base practically
completed by that time. The AL
askan base probably will not be
completed before the end of 1899
Some of the difficulties to be en-
countered in Alaska were reported
to the General Staff in 1884 by
Brig Gen. Henry Arnold, who COM

Alaska and return. 1t is planned
to supplant his report, necessarily
superficial, with detailed studies of
weather and other conditions deal
ing with military operations out OF
Fairbanks before the base is even
started.
General Craig said the Air Corps
will proceed as rapidly and stead
lily as possible toward the final de-
termination of the sites of the pro-
posed bases and the order in which
they will be built, but added that
at this point, it is not possible to
make any definite announcement
because Of differences of opinion
still existing among the expetrs
who are conducting the study.

Other Bases

base would lie practically in the
exact center of Alaska.
Other Bases
other bases will be announced
soon, it was indicated by Genera
Malin Craig, Chief of Staff, anc
similar studies will go forward dur
ing the summer looking to selec-
ton of sites. Construction of the
bases, for several reasons, will ex-
tend over a period of several years
Because of the extensive equip
ment they will need, the cost of
each base will be SO great that
Congress, it is said, cannot be per-
suaded to provide all the money
that would be necessary in one ap-
preparation.
Also, the bases will be built SER
tally, so that mistakes in design
or construction, if any should &C.
cur, could be corrected in succeed
ing ventures instead of being in
corporated in the whole series, as
might be done if they were all
built at once.
The Army must consider, in
constructing these bases, not only
the needs and characteristics Of
existing service types of airplanes,
but the development in aviation
material which may be reasonably
expected for years to come. For
example, it is difficult to find in
all Alaska, a suitable terrain where
the ground is sufficiently firm to
bear the landing of the Army's
present heavy bombers.
Future BomberS HeaDier
1t is considered certain that flu
ture bomberS will be heavier, ra-
ther than lighter, than present
types. 1t was for this reason that
today's order directed the board,
in picking a site, ito determine
foundation and other require
ments".
AS technicians env.sage these
air bases, they will consist of ma
chine shops, some hangers, gaso-
line and oil tanks, and ordnance
depots, all bomb-proofed against
attack from the air They will
include, of course, plenty or run
way space for fully laden service
craft to take off and land
They will be surrounded, at rel
atively short distances. by landing
fields where the different divis-
ions of the G. H O. air force viii
spend their time on the ground
Even if technically feasible, il
would be too risky to have LOCO
planes sitting on one field, exposed
to possible extinction by a single
enemy raid.
The individual planes would fly
to the base a few minutes away
for fuel ammunition repairs, cali
bration Of instruments and such
other servicing as could not be done
at their own landing fields.
The base should be able to re-
ceive a plane and get it away

GIRL TORTURE

Four youths, accused of criminal

She told police the men held her
captive about eight hours.
According to the story told DO
lice by the girl, she was accoSted
by the men in a roadside cafe
about 9 o'clock Saturday night.
She said they took her to the Sc
cluded spot, where she said she
was held until early Sunday morn

her captors fled and she made her
way to a nearby highway. She
staggered into a south Richmond
