American Devotion
Eulogized by French
Paris.—The Liberie thus exalts
the nobility of the American devo
tion to our cause:
"Already the Americans have wet
ted with their blood our invaded so'l.
A recent communique give an ac
count of their losses. This was a
surprise to many Frenchmen, who
thought that much less of our al
lies were engaged in battle. Now
they are fighting in the open. Alii
the information from the front
praise, the valor and also the mod
esty and discipline of these youths,
endowed with a particular beauty,
the reflection of the ideal with which
they are enraptured.
" 'lt is now our turn to die,' James
Wilson, the delegate of the working
men, said the other day to President
Poincaire. Admirable words that
should be recorded in history!"

$10,000,000,000 For
Air Fleet Is Urged
tircon Bay, Wis.—Alfred W. Law
son, the aeronautical expert, who in
1912 predicted that the country hav
ing the most efficient fighting air
force would defeat and put out of
existence its opponent, in an open
letter to Congress asks for a $lO,-
000,000,000 appropriation for an ir
fleet.
I understand," he writes, "that
the War Department has asked for
an appropriation of only approxi
mately $1,000,000,000. Congress
should not l\esitate a day in appro
priating that amount and then must
get ready to make larger appropria
tions for the greater air program
which must, and no doubt will be,
arranged by those in charge of mili
tary aeronautics and aircraft pro
duction in the near future.
"The aircraft investigation is not
a sufficient reason for stopping the
construction of aircraft in this coun
try altogether. Such a proceeding
will certainly please the Kaiser.
Imagine our boys 'over there' wait
ing for months for airplanes while
we argue 'over here' as to whether
the last appropriation was spent
wisely or wastefully."
Porter Robinson and small son.
Harold West Robinson, of Cleveland
Ohio, are stopping for a few days

dall. of Market street.
