Do More to Relieve the Situation.!
(By AxsooUtrO fr,-??)
RIFFALO. N Y . Nov. I The It.
, publican party is nut responsible for
I the high cost of living, Theodore
j Roosevelt asserted in a cainpaltn
I speech here tonight. The causes of
high priced in the maiu were Inter
national. If the people el New Yoik.
he said, wished to have the state ad?
ministration do what it could to
change conditions, which made prices
high, they should eloct the Republican
ticket. s?
Colo lei Roosevelt declared that in
some instances trusts have furred Hp!
prices and he iminted to the record
of Henry L. Stimson, Republican can?
didate foi governor, as a prosecutor !
of corporations which has violated the
law as proof, that if elected he would
do all the governor of the state could
do to prevent an inflation of value:.
Colonel Roosevelt's declaration on

during his tour today than on almost
any other day of his campaign. The
colonel sjKike twice here tonight and
I started for New York whenco he is
j to depart for Iowa three hours after
j his arrival there in the morning.
I In his speech here tonight Colonel I
i Rooscelt said in part:
Play Demagogue Part,
i "Real suffering has essjseetioejably
) been -auscd by the fact that prices
j have gone ap, that the cost of living
i has increased. A demagogue in Har

j low his sue* ess and our opponents
! lay tii" demagogue part for they say
we are to blame- for high prires and
; that if they are ,put in power price*
! will be made lower. They know that

"As Mr. Stimson |?ointed out the

wrong side of the ledger. The close
of September bad shown a total sur?

WASHINGTON, l>. C. Nor a.?
Twenty aeroplanes at least are need?
ed for tbe United States government
service, says Gen. James Allan, chief
s'jrna! officer 0r the army, in his an?
nual report, made public tonight.
"Three aeroplanes .<hJs?ld be on reg?
ular pra. ice at different polnta In the
country throughout the y-^ar," con?
tinues General Allan, ""they should
be present in camps of Instruction
fur regular troops an t organised
militia. Twenty aeroplane* would
provide but two for each camp of in?
struction. To operate this number
aould require at least twen'y spe?
cially trained offlcera as pilots, .n ad.
dition to this, each machine should
carry at least one observer, whic t,
experience has shown, will require
much training and actual practice
before tbe usefulneaa of the heavier
than air machine !a at'ained."
Not Kept Pace With Werid.
(Msneral Allan deprecates the fact
that although the United States waa
the ttrst nation officially to recognise
the aeroplane tor military purpose?,
this government ha.i not" kept P*ee
with the world In the development of
military actonautics.
Summed up. the' :>ero equipment of
the United State* army consists ot
one small practice d'rlglble balloon,
one Wright aeroplane and three small
! captive balloons, says the general,

Should Not WaiaWor Others.
General Allan combats the oft-re?
peated asrertion that the United
States, owing to Ita Isolated position,
is not likely to become Involved in
war. and that therefore the moat
: economical proe/tdure in aerial navi?
gation is to wait until other nations
j have determined upon the typea best
' raited to military purposes, 'bus
I shifting the expanse of experiment
i and development to other nations.
In view of the, difficulties which
! ships hearing tbe United States flat
j have in communicating with foreign
potts. General Allan recommend-? that
the matter of this country becoming
a (tarty to tbe international conven?
tion for the control of wi.-ele?-! teleg?
raphy aga'n he brought before the
senate.
He also recommends appropriate
j legislative action looking to de9ntte
