than President Wilson proposed.
"We make parliment control the
world the same as your national
government controls the United
States. Wo would make any hostil-

FIELD FOR
AIRPLANES
New Landing Ready; Ships to
Move to New Quarters; Al-
falfa Growth All But
Causes Wreck.
Lieutenant C. II. Billott and his
squadron of aviators mechanics
and observers now occupy the new
aviation field near the O. C. W.
having moved there from the Jolin-
son field northeast of the ciey when
i tlle npw io!(l vas in Bllcn shape
that slips could land on . u-
The purpose in getting away
from the old field- were 'two-fold
the first being because Mr. John-
son desired as speedy a move as
possible on account of tho damage
done to the alfalfa crop and second
'because the alfalfa was getting ed
high as to Injure the propellers of
the machines ' on tho "hop off."
More than one propeller was dam-
aged and a wreck narrowly averted
' " I'"--"
ujj hiif..'His oi auaita. lneso be
came clogged on the ends of tho
propeller and r;o lessened tho speed
that Lieut. Adams came near not
getting out of the field.
The speed was retarded to such
an extent that the pilot was unable
to lift his ship off the ground at
the proper moment and he narrowly
missed a collision with some tele-
phone wires. However he got
over a part of the ship barely
touching one wire. Adams got
back into the field and the ship
was left there with a guard over
it.
The new field will be in fine
shape Lieut. Billett says when
certain places that have been filled
In are rolled. Despite some ele
ment of danger the ships have
Deen landing on the new field.
Lieutenant Billett explains tha
the danger lies in the wheels of
the ship sinking into the soft
earth where roads have been filled
in and "sitting her over on her
nose. He points out that coming
in at 70 miles an hour a consider
able smash-up may result from
such a cause.
Arrangements are being made
with the street department of the
city to use a heavy roller on the
soft places and pack them down
sifflctctently to insure saftcy in this
respect.
