W^wvr^wi luyw ; J NI FORM S . . . , fop dress The officers of the United States ^rmy are to have new dress uniorms, which they will be required o wear in the evening after "refeat" has sounded, and on social ccasions when off duty at other imes. The new uniforms will have ark coats, with lapels turned back, ight blue trousers with gold stripes own the seams, and blue caps, all mbellished and decorated with the isignia of rank. We changed our Army uniforms rom blue to khaki between the ipanish War and the World War. 'he dusty brown is undoubtedly etter for service wear but every, nan wants a change to "dress up" .1. With th? mechanization of the irmy, the working garb of our soliers in the next war might well be lain denim overalls. I like to see soldiers look gorgeous, here is something about a brilliant niform which inspires respect for tie service in which men stand to nse everything and gain nothing but lory. ERVICE . . in highest sense I once heard Woodrow Wilson, long efore he was President, point out tie difference between civilians and oldiers, and why we erect public lonuments to soldiers and preserve heir swords and muskets as family | reasures, rather than hang a tailor's ardstick over the mantel. "The tailor's occupation is not less onorable than the soldier's, he said, < but he labored for gain, for the support of his family. The soldier risks verything, including his life itself, iot for money or reward but in the ervice of his people and his country." My observation of the American irmy, which has been considerable, fiakes me feel that nothing they want 3 too good for them. I am speaking iow of the professional soldiers and he West Point officers, who are fully mbued with the spirit of Democracy nd recognize that they are the serants oi the people, not their masters. )PEED increased Eight years ago I predicted in this olumn that some day airplanes would ,e built capable of flying around the v'orld with the sun, starting from few York at noon and crossing every >oint on the round trip at noon. That ? i i ~r>f' nnlv ;ibout 500 1 COU1U Lcli\C u j niles an hour, liying several miles bove the earth. Science and invention are bringing hat time closer and eolser. One by me of the obstacles to fast flight in iie stratosphere are being overcome, /he upper air has been explored and ts wind-currents studied. The shapiig oi an airplane to lly with the least esistance has been worxed out. The ise of oxygen to enable the plot to /reathe an'd the engine to function lght or ten miles above ground has >een demonstrated. Speeds of more han 400 miles an hour have been nade. All that remains is to find more economical methods of carrying fuel or a world-round, non-stop flight. JRE flying bogy The greatest hazard in flying is ire. Many airplane crashes would lot result fataliy but for the ignition >f the gasoline tanks. The great air.hip "Hindenberg" was destroyed, ,vith most of its passengers, because .he hydrogen gas on which it floated aught fire. Fireproof flight is coming. The lew big German airship will be filled ,vith helium gas, from Texas gas wells, .vhich the United States is selling for .hat peaceful purpose. Except for me "Hindenberg" - catastrophe, no passenger's life was ever lost in a ion-military rigid air-ship. The Zeppelins use diesel engines, A'itii non-mflammable fuel oil instead Di gasoline. Airplanes have oeen down in this country with diesel engines, and now one of the motor companies has brought out a new light-weight diesel engine. The airplane of the future, like the air-ship of the future, will be fireproof EDUCATION ... of public I am not greatly concerned about the future of the nation so long as there is no restriction upon public discussion of economic and governmental questions, in the newspapers and elsewhere. 1 have thought a good many of the experiments which have been * (Please turn to page three) f . ..... . ^ * , r-wyr. TrT" i?*i 7^ ; "r i SYLVA, NORTH CAROLINA, I THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON Washington, Feb. 10 (Autocaster) ?Overshadowing everything else in political Washington is the war situa1 tion in the Far East. While official 1 utterances are guarded, and every possible effort is being made to prevent the development of "war scare," the feeling increases that the United States will escape being dragged into the Japan-China imbroglio only by a vigorous show of determination to j fight, if provoked. There is less present danger to I nineiua s peace in me European sij tuation, but there is enough of a j latent threat in the possibly of anj other general Europe; n war to make ; diplomats and military men apprehensive. The realization that the "peace-at-any-price" talk which has been prevalent in some official circles ' has created a belief among the more truculent nations that Uncle Sam's I toes can be trod upon with impunity j is in large measure responsible for ! the increase in our military program i already adopted by the House of Representatives, and for the President's proposal for a much larger Navy. Domestic Talk for Foreign Ears The President's message, it is held here, was intended for Tokyo to read as well as for this country. Coming as it did after the face-slapping of an American diplomat, John M. Allison, by a Japanese soldier, it made | a deep impression. Mr. Allison was ' struck while in pursuit of his duties in Nanking, China, where he is in charge of the American Embassy. The incident followed closely upon the delivery to the Japanese Government of a note from our State Depart1 ment protesting against repeated outI rages upon Americans in China, and | demanding the fulfilment of the J 'Japanese promises made after the sinking of the "Panay." The President's armament message stressed the poini that "we cannot assume tnat our defense would be limited to one ocean and one coast and that the other coast would cerlainly be safe." His proppsal for a JO per--rent-Increase rin" fee United'" .States Navy would give America the world's mightiest ba'.tie-fleet. Considerable concern has been expressed nere over the recent disclosure that since the disarmament conference oi iy22 Japan has built 217 fighting ships, 717,000 tons, to our 136, ol juU.OOO tans, and is now building i3,000-ton battleships with 18-inch guns, as well as subsidizing its mer- ' cnant marine which would add 200 effective ships in lime of war. Big Navy?Not So Big Army The proportionate increase in the , Army strength urged by the President would not be s?> great. If his program is carried out we will be uie foremost sea-power of the world, ahead of Great Britain, but only mnth in the size oi our standing army and twenteith in the numbei of men in our armed reserves. There is no thought in Washingion that the strengthening of our 'armaments is any tin.ig but a peace move ? a more effective move for the maintenance 01 peace, muai wservers hold, man any rigid program of neutrality can be. As the President pointed out, ' it is an ominous iaet tnat at lei)st one-lourtn of the world s population is engaged in meriless devastating conflict .... ihat armaments increase today at an unprecedented and alarming rate . . . I we are compelled to think of our' national South Defends "States' Rights" The House had already passed the Vinson bill carrying a 553 million appropriation lor the Navy, including two 40,000-ton battleships, before the President's message was receieved. It had also passed the Post Office appropriation bill, carrying a J billion and a half. 7 nose two measures were held up in the legislative jam caused by the anti-lynching bill xiiibuster in the Senate. Nothing quite like this four-weeks' debate has been witnessed ii Congress since the filibuster agan^. the "Force" bill in Presiuent Arthur's administration, more than 50 years ago. Then as now the fight was led by Southern Seantors against the invasion of state righk. The proposal to permit the Federal Government to i a +i-,o tn cnnprvise sena uuups miAj uiu ? r? ? elections to Federal ollices was sponsored in 1883 by Senator Henry Cabot Codge of Massachusetts, whose grandson and namesake now occupies Ins grandfather's seat. Then and now, the resistance was against the threat of ATegro domination which the South xeit wao innereni in me measure at issue.
