Sir Robert L. Borden premier of Can

Weeks; stay In Knglatid and France, firm
'In tho conviction," as he expressed It. I
"that never was the plrlt of the allied
nations more steadfast or more resolute i
than at present," I
Amorlca's mighty effort In sending
morn than a million men to France was
the deciding factor, not only In strength
ening tho morale of the Allies, but In
bringing victory out of defeat on the
western front, Sir Hobert said.
"It 1s beyond question that tho vic
tories of tho last four weeks would not
have been possible except for the Amer
lean divisions which have taken their
place in the battle line." he continued.
"I have seen many thousands of
American troops nn bo.irrt ship and in
camps J visited, it is Impossible to over
estimate the Increased confidence with
which the arrival of those mighty armies
his inspired the allied nations.
All llurope Impressed
"All Kurope Is impressed by their
splendid physique, their resourcefulness
and adaptability, the remarkable rapid
ity and thoroughness with which they
h.tvu acquired necesyary training, and.
finally, the magnificent lighting qualities
they hav displaced in every name in
which they hao been tested.

Britannic Commonwealth, Canada un
dertook her part in this war of her own

fvlth no aggressive or selfish purpose, but i
to secure the peace or the worm, to j
safeguard liberty and to maintain public
fight She Is thoroughly conscious that
vast responsibilities will test upon the
Allied nations and especially upon the
British and American Commonwealths
when conditions of peace come to be

World Peace Ited on Democracy

orated In Paris discussion one cannot
help being somewhat startled at the ,
conclusions to which they inevitably 1
lead. I
There is no escape and, indeed, !
there is no disposition to look for one
from the huge responsibilities which 1
America has assumed for the conduct j
of the war to a finish, whether that
finish be one year hence or more,
Looking at the responsibilities square-
ly, Americans are confident, first, that
we are all right on the military side.
We have got the right kind of sol-
diers; we have got enough of them,
and they can be transported. 1
They are confident that our people
at home will maintain the will to win
and that the 'Washington Government
will translate that purpose into action.
I find here, aside from a vague
anxiety concerning German re-en-forcement
from Russia, only one
source of disquietude, not existing,
however, further than to the question
whether complete victory and satis
factory world peace be gained as
against some patched-up compromise.

Allied unity in nonmllltary matters

Hut when the United States declared
war on Germany he felt that he could
not stay on the side lines, His parents
were dead, his two sisters were married

applied once more. This time he was ac

forty years old, and was sent to Fort
Slocum for training. He proved an apt

of the Ninth Regiment of. regulars and

SECRET AIRCRAFT
REPORT TO BAKER
Disclosures Designed to
Build New Program on
Ruins of Old
PLAINLY FIXES .BLAME
Wanhlngton, Aug. 23. (By I. X. S.).
A secret report on the aircraft situa
tion containing many disclosures not
touched upon In the published report
of the Senate aircraft Investigating com
mittee, wan laid before Secretary of War
Baker today by Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the Senate Military Af
fairs Committee.
1 The report Is designed to aid Secre
1 tary Baker In building a success upon
the ruins of the old aircraft program. It
will not bey made public during the con
tinuance of tho war. It contains much
Information thnt would .be of .very prac
tical value to the Herman general staff,
Many of Its statements would give de
cided comfort to the German people, ac
cording to Senators who aided in its
preparation.
The report is understood to contain
no evidence of graft or profiteering, al
though the committee came upon many
trails that might have produced such evi
dence. The responsibility of Oertnln
officers for various "mistakes and blun
ders" Is pointed out, however, so that
the Secretary may have tho data upon
which to base any reorganization he
may deem necessary.
Bills to carry out such recommenda
tions of the aircraft Investigating com
mittee as can be enforced by congres
sional action were In preparation In
both houses today. Tho Military Affairs
Committee of tho House and Senato
have before them several bills looking
to the establishment of a Department of
Aeronautics, with a Cabinet member
nt Its head. One of theso may be re-
,,Wi,l nut noli Weelf n n mnqno
saving time.
The Senate aiiiiinry Atiairs Commlt
teo looks to the War Department Itself
to remedy many ot the defects pointed
out In the report of Its subcommittee,
without formal action by Congress. This
In particularly true of the revelations
regarding the high margins of profit
that have been allowed on many of the
fjovernment'a alrcraic contracts. The
committee believed this was dun lorgely
to the primary unfamlllarlty of official's
,n chnrKe 0f the program wjth the cost'
0f rnpld manufacture!
"Tho high cost to tho Government
having now been demonstrated, wo feel
fmure rontracts w, reguU
n grfHt savings to the Government,"
ti10 investigating commltteo stated in
ram.. ..,..
The committee expects that contracts
fjr alrcrnft w, now- bo glven ,0
wittemann-Lewls Company, of New
Jersey and other such corporations or
ganized long tietore tne war, hut as yet
without Government work. It pointed
out In its report that contracts in many
cases had been given to companies with
nothing more than paper organizations
nt the outbreak of the war, while going
concerns were overlooked.
The sub committee's work Is not com.
plete with the submission of Its report,
and It has not been dismissed by the
Military Affairs Committee. It will con
tinue to look into conditions surrounding
, aircraft production and will submit new
reports wherever It deems the situaf on
f ,
calls for them.
