Washington, June 25. General Souier is a man who achieves inlngs. While in the Signal Corps as a colo nel he was placed in charge of aero nautics and with but a limited a irount of money to expend he start ed out to develop this service for tiie United States Army. His idea was to specialize in the various branches of this arm of tne service and to put the members of his corps through a most intensive training. The result was that when Congress flnaHy awakened to a true realization of what aeronautics meant to an army and Increased his appropriation. General Squler found himself in a position to expend this appropriation judiciously. The re sult is that the American flier today ranks foremost among the fliers or the world. In the manufacture of aeroplanes the manufacturers of the country en countered obstacles; there was not enough business coming to them to advance their work. General Squler appointed boards of specialists to "THb - ONE PKlCfcJ overcome the various individual troubles; he gave contracts to the Small manufacturer in proportion to his ability to turn out machines ror the army. Being the last great nation to adopt the aeroplanes for war purpos es, General Squler was confronted in the present conflict with the real ization that American manufactur ers were not prepared to turn out air machines fast enough. He immedi ately perfected arrangements where by the machines for this purpose will be procured in France. All of the machines for the training of aviators will be American made. He is regarded as a very brilliant scientist and is credited with several modern-day inventions in telegrapny and other means of transmission. For a number or years prior to his being detailed in aeronautics ne was military attache at the American Embassy in London. SPECIAL AUTO TAX.

EMPLOYES BUY BONDS. Southern Railway's Men Subscribed for Largo Amount of Liberty Itonds. Special to The Gazette. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 23. Four thousand, three hundred and forty-three employees of the South ern Railway System subscribed to the "Liberty Loan" under the plan outlined by President Fairfax Harri son authorizing payment of sub scriptions in 12 equal monthly in stalments to be deducted rrom their salaries. Comptroller A. H. Plant, chair man of the committee appointed to handle the subscriptions, gives out the following letter written him by Agent John Duff, of Dennlston, Va., as illustrative of the loyal feeling of the Southern's employees to the Country in the present crisis: "I herewith attach you application blank for $100 worth of Liberty Bonds. I am only receiving $53 per month for my services, and I am too old to join the army, so I will stint my family some and contribute to the call of my country. I do think that every railroad man should con tribute to these bonds that cannot give his services. We cannot allow this German Kultur to come here and wreck our homes as they have done Belgium and France. When these are paid for I will contribute more if needed." (Adv.) Contracts for five out of nine army camps will be given the North Caro lina Pine Association for lumber to go into cantonments. The lumber will cost about $2,000,000.
