THE AIRCRAFT SITUATION. Pres't Wllson'e directions that a complete Investigation of the aircraft situation be made will meet with th? approval of the vast majority of American people. Everybody knows that there is something wron?

with our aircraft production, and there are sundry

MUipicions that it la largely the work of "dollar a year patriots." saddled onto the public by that crafty inititution. known as the National Council of Defense, but the chief occupation of which has teen. since the? ery outbreak of the war, to build up a republican machine In some way, out of the war activities, und, whtre possible, install men In tuitions where they can furnish eomething to criticise. Several of such instance have already been brought to l!(fht with reference to equipment and Kupplien for the men In the cantonment, ome of them even pointIns well toward a "pro.Mteerlns" program. Most of this work haa now been taken over by the war department, and things have been movlns alonj; rapidly ever sine?. It will probablv be much the amc in the matter of the aircraft. TTiere will be less of dependence upon "dollar a year" patriotism, and more upon penuine war administration. The investigation should o into every department of the aircraft industry, and we should be given to know where the responsibility lies. The nation has been keenly disappointed by the failure to realize Ith hopes In connection with the liberty motor. If it is so good a motor as the aircraft experts pronounced it, and as some f them still pronounce it. ihe public would like to know why It Un't being rroduced in quantity, and there Is similar disappointment with regard to the manufacture of planes, fterent revelations or alleged revelations and allegations have made the public suspicious and hore about the whole bu?ines.. Have hundreds of millions of dollars really been quandtred aimlessly, or criminally diverted to th'i pockets of scheming profiteers, as .ome 'Titles have charted? Has the allure been ko bad as it seems to be? And if so, is h due merely to business incapacity on the part of the men In charge, or Is it the result of a bijr. treasonable plot to ball up airplane production and thus cripple our army? The secretary of war has been looking Into the matter eince his return from Trance. Whatever he and now the attorney general, discovers, they will do well to sive to the country unreservedly. It isn't j-nouph to have put a man of recognized ability in charge of the aircraft department. Whatever blundering there may have been before the new regime began should be pitilesly exposed, and whatever guilt there may have beep should be pitilej-sly punished. Then we can itart anew, with public confidence res-tored. and try to make up for lojt time.

POLICING THE WORLD. A citizen of Uerkelcy, Calif., writes a western newpapt?r. and just as though he meant it. this way: "This war ü. exidence per se of the utter rottenness, inefficiency, stupidity and unrestrained criminality of th.i f tmoUs German Sovernment and the failure of Its equally famous an' much boasted system of education and training. Germany is far behind the civilizations of the world. Of the rights of others the Hermans know nothing ana care less. As citizen.s they have been bullied and policed from infancy, and each adult has had his turn at 1 ullyinc. driwng and policing someone weaker or lower lit the scale than himaelf. As a nation they have srun up with the idea, and now they propose to bully, drive and police the world." That sounds rather drastic. But app!y It to the existing situation. Germany, having made a peace treaty with the newrepublic of Ukrainia. is now seizing the little store of food possessed by Ukrainian peasants and pending It back to Germany, and In ordtr to loot the country has ."laced it under Gorman military rule; Germany is lorein upon the Ku.-sian government an aßreement for e,chaninK war prisoners, by which Ruffia is to keep ana '.'are for all her sick and wounded German prisoners and send the aide-bodied back to Germany, while Germany hor.-eif keeps the ablebodied Russian prisoners to work in her war factories and sends the sick and wounded back to I!uia; Having declared Poland free and independent. Germany is forcing rollsh men of military ape into her army, and I'oliih women into her factories; In the Invaded part of Italy, German taskmasters are workinc the men. women and children literally as agricultural slaves; Ten cf thousand of men and women hae been taken from riounat.ia. as black people once were from Africa, and for rd into German slivery; Germany is p:ti!esly ' poiicir.K" Hush's IJaltic province, where she ha no governmental riphta wqatever, tyrannizing over and tlauKhterlng the population: Germany is redjeir. Finland to the ime Moody afala;e; Germany is bulldozing Holland into vieldlns unneutral transportation privilege? by holding over her

"IS GRIMLY HAPPY." An American soldier, writing from the battlefront in France, talks of his concern this way: "I never was happier than I am at present. There is a novel zip added to life by the daily risks. One can die only once, and the chief concern that matters Is how, and not when, you die. "We have got to win this war so that we may never be tortured again by the inquisition of modern warfare. The winning of the war becomes a personal affair to the boys who are lighting. "The world which sits behind the lines buys extra special t.t the daily papers and eats three square meals a day, and will never know what this other world has endured for lta wafety. and .10 man of this other world will have hc vocabulary In which to tell. Hut do not for a moment mistake me. We are all grimly happy, for U is a wonderful thing to have been chosen to sacrifice and perhaps to die that the world in the future may be made happier and kinder." That's the way nearly all of our hoys over the.? feel about the war. Uoesn't It make a comfortable civilian rather ashamed of the part he is playing, if he Isn't doing his level best to help along with thy war whenever a chance comes his way? And doesn't it set one's mind at rest r.arding the spiritual we!fare of those iads in France? encouragTng sedition. "The effective prosecution of the war involves of necessity certain restrictions in our accustomed freedom. We 'still have confidence in the adequacy of the courts to punish treason and sedition. Congress has ample authority to provide for the punishment of seditious utter- 1 ances as well as seditious acts." , These words, spoken by the eminent jurist, Charlen. Hughes, to the American newspaper publishers in New York City, show the situation in a nutshell. But they are a little too easy on congress. Having the authority to provide legislation which the country Imperatively needs, conKress has had the matter before it for many months without doing anything. The department of justice is in despair over a situation in which its hands are tied. The public Is indignant and cannot understand the failure of "tho government" to suppress sedition and punish llagrant offenders. And congressmen tili quibble about the danger to American freedom and constitutional rights Involved In legislation for the very lack of which our freedom is threatened and our constlution undermined. As long as congress refuses to provide the legal means of stamping out this evil, congress itself is encouraging sedition.

PRICES MAY DESCEND. The New York Times usually speaks with .authority when it discusses business affairs. Now it records thy encouraging thought that prices seemed to have reached the apex in their advance and that from now on they must come down. There have been reasons for some price increases, but too generally the large producing, agencies have bjen making profits out of all proportion to capital invented, cost of raw materials or demands of labor. Uncle am has felt the pinch of the high prices. And it is because 1 e objects to paying them that there Is hope for the rest of us. The war industries board is preparing to make those undue profits come down from their haughty heights. One suggested method of attacking the problem was that of fixing promts on raw materials and staple products. The industries board began with textiles and and wool in particular. Wool ha been put on tho basis of the market prices of July öO last. Fears of higher prices in the clothing industry are therefoie said to be unjustified. And in regard to various other commodities the situation Is still more hopeful.

The Iron Cro:s that Kaiser Wilhelm gave the former Austrian premier must have been in compensation for the double-cross Czernin gave Austria-Hungary.

"I never give orders," says Charles M. Schwab. "I Just ask men to help me, and they do." There's a business secret worth learning.

ONK HOAD TO PKACi:. (Ijufacttc Courier.) A Just and lasting peace, broad-hased on the good faith of all the peoples that is the real object for which we are lighting. The definition may be dubbed trite, but we cannot too often reiterate it; we cannot set up the goal too prominently before our eyes. The tremendous struggle in Flanders and Ficurdy cannot continue forever. F.ven Hlndenburg and Ludendorff must eventually be convinced that the western line held so wonderfully by the allied armies cannot be broken. And then we shall be treated to the game of autocracy attempting to pose as pence champions and expressing its willingness to negotiate another Urest-Litovsk convention. liven now the stage is being set for another offer from the central powers and the parts in the farce are being rehearsed by the principal actors. The booming of artillery along tha Ypres front Is the overture and when a renewa' of tho furious onslaughts once more proves the fully of tho terrible sacrifice of lives ordered by the German military masters we may look for the new play for peace. The hook is to be baited again, perhaps with assu--ances of elf -determination for Pelsium and Alsace and honeyed promises retarding the disposition of the Palkan states. Hut such overtures will promptly be rejected. We recognize the disguise too well. The teeth of the wolf show plainly through the sheep's clothing.' Autocracy cannot masquerade In the livery of freedom and democracy and humbug the world into believing that such a costume signifies a change of heart. There can be no peao made with unscrupulous military deapots. This is war until the power which has plotted for decades and brought about this assault upon democracy is forever dispersed. Prej't Wllaon tarred the last door of hope for the central powers when he declared that force must be the liberator. The peoples of the Teutonic countries have been deluded. Their tyrannical government has deceived them and fed them on lies kept from them knowledge that would have freed them from their present curse. Their disillusionment can now only come with victory by the j.llies when they discover that the men who brought them into this war cannot get them out. There can be no peace until the people of Germany and Austria-Hungary- arrive at that concluion for to quote the words of Pres't Wilson, "we cannot take the word of the present rulers of the central poweri as a gui.rantee of anything that is to en-dur.M

The Simple Magic of thz Gyroscope

liY GAIUtlHT P. SFKYISS

A reader asks how a gyroscope acts, and how it can be used to guide a torpedo or steer a ship. The gyroscope (or the gyrostat, another form of the same curious mechanism) performs so many practical paradoxes that those who do not understand the principle of Its working might be excused for regarding It as a mechanical witch. The secret of its singular power resides in certain propetties peculiar to spinning bodies. An ordinary top is an example of gyroscop'c action, since it is the effect of the spin that keeps the top erect on its peg as long us its spinning motion continues. The moment that ceases the top falls over on its side. A bicycle In motion also involves the principle of the gyroscope. Without this principle to rid them the est Jugglers on the sta-;o would be unable to perform man. of their apparent wonders, such as catching by the handle an endless string of knies thrown high In the air with one hand and recovered with the other; or pitching hats or cards or other objects with what seems: almost miraculous power, to guide them and make them go exactly where the thrower wishes, or even to come back to him. All these things, and a thousand others not less amazing to thv uninitiated, depend upon the princi

ple that any body spinning about an axis tends to hold that axis steady to the direction in whii h it pointed when the spin begin, and resists any force that strives to change the direction. Thus the spinning top stands upright be'aus its axi:- of rotation is the upright peg. A soft, flat fr-lt bat rapidly whirled in the plane of. its rim stiffens Into a dih-like shape, and ran be sent shooting across a stage. A knife skilfully whirled with its axis of rotation running through the handle may be tossed hich in the air nnd will come back without turning over. A projectile from a rifled gun goes straight bocause it has a spin about its axis parallel to the direction of its flight and the spin tends to keep that axis from swerving. Among the "philosophical apparatus" which formerly collected dust In the glass-doorod cabinets of manv high schools und academies was sometimes to be seen a machine by which a circular disk of thin, tough paper could be set revolving with immens" sp?ed. When not in motion the paper drooped but after the spin was established it became almost as rigid as a whirling disk of teel, j. nd when struck with a stick resisted the blow, and responded with a loud whack, a if it had reMly been as firm and solid as it looked. It would have been dangerous to touch its edge with the fingers, for it would have cut like a buzz-saw. The quoit player and the baseball pitcher know the virtue of the .pin, and it is beautifully shown In the children's game of "ring-toss." Now. all thes thincs are first cousins to the gyroscope and to the various forms of gyioscopir compass and gyroscopic guiding mechanism. A hecivy wheel kept spinning at a high speed, with its axis directed straight ahead, will keep a torpedo on Its course by ihitting. through a system cf cearinr. the position of its rudders.

gyroscope, to cause a torpedo to change its direction after leaving the firing Mibe. For this purpose the axis of snin

I of the" gyroscope wheel is set in the j direction in which it is desired that i the torpedo tdiall go after getting I clear of the vessel from w hich it j started. This is called "angle firing"

and is so effective that a torpedo discharged from. say. the starboard side of the ship may, after getting under way, cross the ship's bow and go in a straight line toward a mark situated away off on the larboard

j side of the bow. When Uted as a i compass the gyroscope simply indi

cates direction without acting upon

the steering mechanism. Remember that all of these phenomena are based upon the one simple principle that a spinning body lentis to keen its axis un-
