The most obvluuH military lesson
luughl hy the experience of our sol
diers in Mexico has Leen the need of
I good aeroplanes. Our army aviators
themselves seem to deserve no crlt
cism; they have done well, with the
equipment they were provided with.
Hut that equipment provea to have
been Inelllciunt even for such a com
paratively small campaign us our
punitive expedition ha? undertaken.
The aeroplanes at Hie disposal ol'
tin? urmy were untitled for the task.
Scouting duty in northern Mexico re
quires aircraft with powerful en
gines, to enable them to take the high
altitudes, climbing easily over the
mountain tops and bucking the shift
ing air currents that prevail in that
region. The planes provided lacked
the necessary power. Thus their
usefulness was limited, the aviators
themselves were exposed needlessly to
peril from Hying low. making easy
murks for snipers, and from frequent
forced landings in a wild, broken
country.
The defect is now being remedied.
!: might have been remedied during
the long months while the army was
encamped along Ute Mexican border,
with just such a campaign in pros
pect. Fortunately there have thus fal
been no disastrous results. The par
tial failure of our aviation corps will
he worth while if it points thc way to
genuino aerial preparedness, on seale
demanded by modem war methods, in
both our arm; and navy.

An edict ngalnst poker has been
promulgated lu ('binn. The great
American game ls hanncd on tho
ground that "it is likely to upset thc
morals of the Chinese."
This will seem to many American
citizen* a bitter blow, coming from
the "heathen Chinee" who ls, of all
men living, the most natural and in
veterate gambler, and who has never
boen regarded In America as exem
plifying a particularly high stundard
of morals anyhow. To find that China
still permits her native fun-tun. while
burring what a New York Judge re
cently defended as "a gentleman's
gamo of chance"-lt l3 too much.
No doubt, though, the Chinese gov
ernment ls serious about lt. Tho
Chinese government ls serious about
everything. And lu the matter of
mornl reform, it has some really no
table achievements to Its credit. There
Is the opium trafile, for exumple. Our
own state and national governments
aro now trying to restrict and regu
late the use of opium and its products
in tills country, with a view to its
abolition except for strictly medical
purposes. China beat tm to that re
form by many years. And as if to
rub it in, she has been complaining
that, aa she eliminates opium, wc ure
undoing her beneficent work by de
luging China with American cigaret
tes. What can you do with a country
that takOd Its reforms so seriously as I
that?
TOO III S Y TO JOIN A KM Y
Prosperity and military recruiting
don't seem to go together. In spite
of tho strenuous efforts made by re
cruiting officers rocontly to lill up tho
tanks of thu army, their efforts aro
loss fruitful than they were a year
ago. Thero ls a picturesque Mexican
campaign now to stimulate Interest,
There Is moro honor for tho soldier's
pr' ' jslon. And yet word comos from
nearly every ucction of the country
that eligible mon, while manifesting
neath mic Interest In military matters,
are extremely reluctant to enter the
army.
In thc whole metropolitan district
of New York, for instance, Including
Jersey City, the earnest effort of the
recruiting agents during the mouth ai
March results d In only 238 enlist
ments, against 430 in the same month
last year. Thc proportions in many
otho! cities, outside of Chicago, have
bili about tho same. Chicago, for
borne reason or othor, ?a always the
most productivo source of army and
davy material.
Tho explanation given is that today
tho eligible men have good jobs, and
don't want to give them up for jobs
that don't pay so well and don't ad
vance thom atong the lines of any
permanent clvil-ltfo occupation. It
Isn't likely-unless a war crisis comes
--that the army and navy can be re
cruited to tho strength called for by
the-new preparedness measures with
out added Inducement In the form of
better pay and facilities tor occupa
tional training.
THE ONLY SAFE Bl'LE
When the German-American Alli
ance of New Jersey met in conven
tion at Elisabeth, the. delegates were
welcomed by Mayor M ra vi ag, horn In
Austria, who gave them this advice:
"If you plan to criticise thc adnilii-j
ititralioii, do KO only UM Americans. I
Vern have no .' u to c ri t loise any j
policy that you may believe works?
to lb? disadvantage of Germany il j
thai policy ls beuelicial lo the United
Slates."
ll was excellent advice, although;
the convention fulled to follow lt. Thc
tule given by Mayor Mravlug is the
only sale one for any American citi
zen, native or foreign born, who reels
keon sympathy with any European
bellig? rent.
lu every case involving our foreign
policy, toe primary question is, "Will
tim; bi nufil the United States'.'" It
it will, the matter should be consid
?re:! settled.
It ls proper enough tor any citizen
to make any personal sacrifice he
feels like making In behalf of the for
eign country he sympathizes with.
Bul when il comes to demanding the
?..arrilice of American rights, Ameri
can lives. American property, for til o
advantage of any foreign country, thc
individual citizen is going too far. if
his own sense of loyalty to tho Unit
ed Mates does not Impel him to pul
the welfare of America ahead of all
other considerations, a sense of fair
ness should Impel him to recognize
thal bo has no right to speak for
an;.body but himself, or make any
(Kullunda nf anybody but those of like
mind with him.
NWATTEKS FOR SLEEPERS
A gentleman who killed thirty
HOV n ll!eu in March, on a Pullman
car, en route from Jacksonville. Fla.,
lo Chicago, writes to Dr. W. A. Evans,
former health ufll.er of Chicago and
now writer on health subjects for sev
eral newspapers, asking that be sug
gest through his column that Pullman
sleepers each be equipped with a fly
swatter. The wreck ax, says Dr.
Evans, ia needed only at long Inter
vals. A fly swatter is needed every
trip. The fly swatter rack should he
alongside the ax rack.
That trains transport flies and mos
quitoes Frequently and for long dis
tances is known to many people. It
is also true that one of the great dif
ficulties in thc Canal Zone has been
with the mosquitoes brought in by
trains. Cattle trains attract them,
and so do dining-cars. Almost every
train coining into u northern station
from a wanner cllmnte brings in its
fly passengers as well as Its human
ones. Some of these undoubtedly die
of cold before they cun do much dnm
age. But there aro always a few that
find warm cracks to bide in. walting
opportunity to Increase-the Hy popu
lation! If every passenger who sees
q, fly on his train would kill hun. some
of thin trouble would ba avoided.
And. needless to add. If everyone
who secs a Hy anywhere In April
would kill him. much of the country's
disease would dlsappeur.

the next few days and will
map out a list of the things to be
planned. An open air dance has been
suggested, and will doubtless be ene
of tho most entertaining features of
encampment week. Some one has sug
gested that McDudle' and Calhoun
streets be used at their intersection
for tho dance, and thia would suit
admirably, both streets being paved
with asphalt Lights could bo cosily
arranged, and with a little corn. meal,
the asphalt streets would make an
excellent dancing surface.

cried the young woman, 'and I want
some place to sleep tonight and I'M
