AS JANE SEES US

British officials and news
papers are trying TO explain away
the insult TO America" contained
in the latest edition of James All
the Worlds Aircraft" which states
that America now is ready to fight
ito the last Englishman"
Newspapers point out that the
statement was printed in spite Of
the fact that the volume was cen
sored officially and the book has
semi-official rating.
James slur appeared as a cap
ton in the historical service ava
ton section beneath photo OF
Lockheed- Hudson American plane
being drawn across the American
Canadian border. The caption
said:
Delivering a Standardization
across the border....horse traction
was used in the early days OF the
war because flying planes between
the two countries was considered
unneutral.
Now that the United States has
decided to support the war finan'
cially to the last Englishman,
preparations are being made TO fly
the flying fortresses direct TO Eng
land"
The Daily Express says an Of
fetal inquiry has been launched

duction-pointed out every word in
the volume was censored, yet CEN
sors permitted publication Of the
insulting" caption.
The News Chronicle, stresSing
that James is considered q semi
official publication, says its sale
may be banned abroad.
c. G. Grey, editor Of "All the
Worlds Aircraft" must have au-
thorized the caption, says the News
Chronicle, adding that Americans
IN London consider 1t a dirty
crack.
All the Worlds Aircraft" is a
companion volume to James
Fighting Ships" both OF which are
considered the most authoritative
ANNALS in their fields, and when
such q statement as the one re-
ferred to appears in 1t there can
be question but that 1t represents
current opinion. 1t Is more than
a passing incident. 1t seems to be
in keeping with statements during
and after the previous war to the
effect that Americans should help
in the fighting, but keep out Of ne
gCtiations that followed. In other
words, there seem to be certain
Englishmen who want our monsy.
munitions and men, but no part Of
our advice.
As we join England in another
war, We should not disregard all
such lessons from the previous
war. We should know upon what
basis we are 10 enter this war and
why.

that she might destroy his papers

old captains pertinacity.
Wing, a seaman on the Gay
Lady, became suspicious Of certain
happenings the night she sank.
Later, he returned here and sue
cessfully blackmailed Rand for
years. Rand, in a burst of fury,
told Wing he would give him no
more checks, for the old captain in
tended going over his sons papers
and would certainly insist on resti-
tuition OF the ill-gotten money.
Wing determined to steal and de-
stroy the papers. He spied on Pur-
Pile Beeches many times, saw the
papers put In the secret safe the
night Miss Althea tried to burn
them, later tried to open the safe,
was discovered by Jabez and
struck him over the head.
Miss Gould naturally told Otis
everything which took place here.
He knew Proctor could not be con-
cerned in the attempted burglary,
but suspected his father. He went
to him and explained his interest.
Rand was surprised that Otis
knew anything about the Gay Lady
as Frank Otis papers were sup
posed to be destroyed at his death.
Young Otis curiosity was greater
than his loyalty. aRo when he
found among his fathers papers
an envelore marked ITO be de-
stroyed unread at my death, he
read what 1t contained.
Rand told Otis the various de-
velopments, and Otis Immediately
suspected Wing. He went to him,
and the first anonymous letter fol-
lowed. BY spelling Miss Altheas
name with an n" he deliberately
tried to throw suspicion upon
Wing, and but for Wings pres

wing knew OF the letters, but
not the way Althea was spelled. He
united with Otis to kidnap Miss
Gould. but had he not yielded to
temptation to drink. he would not
have exposed her to danger. He Is
nearly insane with the knowledge
that through him his son has lost
his life.
The night Miss Gould and Otis
heard the cousins quarreling, Otis,
knowing the secret, was able to I'M
derstand the references which
merely puzzled Miss Got ID. He
thought by killing Cary he could
obtain the papers and prevent the
old captain from learning the
story. But instead Of Cary 1t was

"Otis' punishment will be ade-

Lancy, for he, unaided, killed
Mark Gould. Early in the case, l
decided that Mark was killed by
mistake for Cary. First l concen-
trated on the Rands. Miss Rand

Proctor.

sex's room. Undoubtedly. Mark put
them there for safe keeping before
he went downstairs expecting to
search the grounds for an intrud-

remove them, which added to the
mystery.
