    The Japanese have internal trou
bles, and may need for home use
nme of the flying machines that
Japan is manufacturing at the rate
of BOO planes every month.
The Japanese prince regent, on
Hr way to open the diet, passes
through streets kept empty under
1 eavy guard. The police push the
< row'd s hack BO yards down side
streets, too far to throw bomb, or
shoot with precision. The majority
( f Japanese are loyal to the imper
i il family, even to the point of
< eath. But it is the minority that
makes trouble.
The spokesman for the mikado
announced that Japan’s relations
with all treaty powers, including
this, country, were never more
friendly. We are all glad of that.
We have for Japan only the most
sincere feelings of kindness and
admiration.
At the same time it is interest
ing, and not amusing to consider
these facts. Japan builds 500 air
planes each month, keeping 17 fac
tories busy, night and day. Ac
cording to our Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell, an authority on air serv
ice, this government owns, in all,
only 700 airplanes, big and little.
And of the 700, only 20 would have
any value as fighting machines.
Therefore, Japan builds each month
25 times as many serviceable
planes as we have altogether.
And we have in America only
450 pilots that could be used for air
battles, in time of war. Japan,
■ England, France, have thousands.
And the postal bill, just passed,
would permit the postoffice to turn
over the air mail to private carriers,
to be exploited on a basis of profit
making, rather than of national
preparation for defense.
However, even if the bill does
authorize that, it is not likely that,
the president would permit it, and
it’s certain that even our extremely
dull public opinion would forbid it.
Meanwhile, this nation is the joke
of the world as regards preparation
for modern war. And if war should
come, with hundreds of foreign
planes battering down our cities,
and poisoning the inhabitants, there
would be trouble for those respon
sible.
The rich, that fight taxes and
yell for economy, rear one thing
even more than loss of their dol
lars. and that is talk of revolution.
Just one thing could bring bloody
revolution and uprising in this
. country. And that would be shame
ful defeat in' war, with horrible
loss of life and property, due to
lack of preparation.
The very rich men and corpora
tions that control this nation, dic
tate its candidates, and its laws
should bear that in mind and not
push economy too far.
Shameful defeat, and many killed
hurled the czar ami put Lenin in
his place. Let high finance remem
ber that.
• It is, however, the business of
Americans generally to see that
this country is adequately prepared
foe attack.
is the common people’s busi
ness to stop European interference
in our affairs, cheating our idiotic
public officials into destroying our
battleships, then scheming to get
usjinto the world court, where this
country would be automatically out
voted, ten to one.
Write to your congressmen and
your two senators, urging them to
•support President Coolidge, earn
estly in his determination to give
this country an adequate air force.
The British, creators of the
superdreadnaught, rulers of the sea
fon generations, are not neglecting
tiu^r air fleet. They have organ
ized a flying service separate and
apart from army or navy control,
unhampered by precedent and old
fasnioned ideas.

r a t •!
ly air minister for Great Britain, is
here now and could give Washing
ton useful information.
He announces that Britain is
building airships big enough to car
ry bodies of troops, replacing the
old slow-floating troops ships. These
ships, each with 5,000,000 cubic
feet gas capacity, will make our
Shenandoah or Los Angeles look
like a tugboat, compared with a
battleship.
One of these big ships is built by
the government, the other by
private owners. They will carry
troops and heavier-than-air flying
machines as well, very convenient
for sending fighting airplanes, with
their pilots and bombs, on long
trips to another continent.
The ships will be put to work at
once, carrying mails and passen
gers from England to India and
other distant parts of the empire.
Thus they will pay their way in
peace, and be ready for war, when
it comes.
Is not this country rich and in
telligent enough to meet the situa
tion and keep up with the times?
The flying machine was invented
here, and we sit waiting for other
countries to develop it, and perhaps
use it against us.
Why must we wait for Europe to
establish a flying service across (he
ocean? If our business men, that
talk so much of superior private
ownership, lack energy and courage
to be pioneers, the United States
government should do it.
Instead of merely sending out-of
date battleships to cruise in the
Pacific, we ought to send half u
dozen dirigibles, bigger than any
thing England has, each carrying
its cargo of flying machines and
fliers to make friendly demonstra
tions in flying from the mother
-hips, target practice, with imita
tion bombs, against moving and
stationary targets, etc. All that
would be instructive, create
thought in foreign countries and
iiromote peare.
A very rich, very fat, thoroughly
unprotected grocer is a temptation
to gunmen -and Uncle Ram is jUst
such a grocer, at this moment.
Thp editors of country news
papers are the most influential men
in the t'nited Rtates. Eaeh one
ran influence at least, one congress
man and two senators, more than
half a dozen so-railed “big editors'
could influence them.
Two thousand of these editors
publish this article, sending it into
millions of farm houses and village
homes. They should take this ques
tion of air defense in hand, and put
it through, as they put through the
parcels post.

New York. f)ec. 29.—The volume of
business on the curb exchange today was
of record breaking proportions from the
opening. Movements of prices extended
over a wide ragge and a number of is
sues were forced up to new high levels.
In most rases urgent buying was based
on expected definite developments con
• ernlng particular Issues ns In the case
of Denver A Rto Grande preferred which
ms. more than a point and made a new'
high reword.
The utility storks continued in heavy .
demand following the advances last week, i
Fluctuations* in National Dower A Light,
however, were frequent and wide. That
stock, after moving up 13 points to 2f>«
fell to 238 and then had a sharp rally
to 250. American and foreigp power and
common wealth were m supply and
showed substantial declines. Lehigh Tow
er was one of the strong features, ad- i
\ ancing about 3 points, Shattuck com
pany made a new high record on an
advance to 34%. New Jersey Zinc was
directly influenced by the strength in
the metal. . .
There were wide movements also In
many of th* oil stocks. South Penn ad
vanced 4 points to 141 snd Impreial Oil

Chronic roughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
•top them now with t'reoniulsion, an
rniulsihed creAsote that is pleasant to
lake. Crromulsioii is a new medical
discovery with twofold action; it soothes !
and hrals the inflamed membranes and
kills the germ.
Of all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medical Iraternity as the
greatest hraling sgrncy for the treat
ment of rhronir roughs and rolds and
other forms of throat and lung troubles. J
Crenmulsion rontains, in addition to
creosote, other healing elements which
soothe and heal the inflamed mrm- 1
hranes and slop the irritation and in- j
flammation, while the creosote goes on
to the stomach, is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of*the trouble j
and destroy* the germ* that lead to
consumption.
Oromulsinn is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of chronic roughs
and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal
bronchitis and other forms of throat
and lung diseases, and is excellent for
building up the svstrtn after colds or
the flu. Muncy refunded If any cough
or cold, no matter of how long stand
ing, is not relieved after taking accord
ing to directions. Auk your ditiggist.
