ANOTHER GERMAN LIE
Another lie which the kaiser's ag-
ents indistrioualy circulaU-d was that
Kerensky had divorced his wife and
married an actress. Utterly untrue,
these scandalous insinuations found
some credence.
Kesensky's latest picture showed
him standing with his cotton glovwi
hand resting Napoleon-like on his
chest. No sooner had these been put
•n sale than the city was permeated
with angry whisperings about Ker
ensky, the "dictator."
Not alone did the German agents
attack Kerensky by word or mouth,
they even sought his life.
The winter palace of dreadful mem-
ory of the old autocratic days in to-
day a gruesome place of death and
tragedy and mystery. Its lower win-
dows a fire now all blown out. Lower
rooms close to where Kerensky works,
were charred in a mysterous fire two
weeks ago.
At the time when Korniloff was
marching on Petrograd, German ag-
•nts spread tWe report that the Bri-
tish government favored his revolu-
tion and the pulling down of Kerensky
How well they did their work is indi-
cated in the fact that the British «ov-
•rnment actually sent a tfuard of 00
soldiers to the embassy, fearing pos-
sible attacks by the Russians enraged
st the thought that Kerensky was
menaced.
The arm of the German seceret ser-
vice even reached out to Russian
Grand Army headquarters. General
Korniloff himself was deluded into
the belief that all the allied ambass-
adors would favor his revolutionary
move. That belief was in no small
measure responsible for his open re-
hellion. And Korniloff's bitter en-
miey toward Germany is known to
•very Russian.
A week after Alexleff was appoint-
ed commander-in-chief of Russia's
armies, when Kerensky felt Korml-
oft was slipping in his allegiance,
Korniloff refused to reliquiah his com-
mand and carried out a brilliant, but
small advance of his Russian troops
toward Riga. '
With Korniloff u prisoner, Keren-
*ky now faces a trying question of
what to do with him. The premier
•« either unwilling or unable to sub-
ject the former commander-inchief to
the death penalty.
Kerensky'# bravery and idealism in
the face of unparalled criticism, sland
*r and attacks on his life, is unques-
tioned. But his surrender of conces-
sions to the Bolsheviki—the franati-
<•*! extremist group—who at any time
may start an armed demonstration of
yeace, is injuring the progress of the
peace come."
Long before the war Shepherd had
proposed a Department of Aeronaut-
ics. The situation of the plan for
an Aircraft Board was the result
of the pooling of ideas between the
army, navy and the aero societies.
'Die young officers who have devel-
oped the army's air program have
from the very first modeled their plans
with the view of an immmense industr
ial air fleet after the war.
Much of the work being done to-
day is permanent. The aviation train-
ing camps will be training centers
after the war. The first air mail
routes probably will be between these
amps.
The factories now turning out air-
iraft parts and the assembling j)lants
will produce commercial aircraft.
Since the government has almost
absorbed the industry it will prob-
ably remain in governmennt hands,
just as the new mercantile marine.
Undoubtedly the first commercial
service will be in connection with
the post office. A new fast mail ser
vice carrying bank checks and speed-
ing up the clearing operations of
the federal reserve system is already
being planned.
A treasury department coast pa
trol in connection with the reserve
system and the life-saving service
is alrcdy being mapped out.
At the end of the war thousands
of air chauffeurs will return from
the battle fronts ready to enter the
new business.
Many engineers predict the com-
mercial development of the airplanes
will surpass that of the automobile.
The antry of the United States
into the war in time to profit by
the mistakes and successes of the
other nations, which unimpared re-
sources of credit, insures we will be
in the lead at the opening of the
era of airplane transportation.
The new aircraft board is to con-
sist of the chief signal officer of the
army, the chief constructor of the
navy and seven civilians to be named
by the president.—Exchange
