Critics Lose a Target
CHICAGO JOURNAL—Announce
ment by the head of the United States
Army Signal Service that this coun
try would soon have an aeroplane de
fense second to none in the world,
confounds critics of the administra
tion who have made this branch of
the service one of their principal tar
gets. No matter what else the expe
rience of the European war may send
to the scrap heap, there is no question
of the value and utility of the flyers.
In addition to their value for scout
ing purposes, big gun fire no longer
can be made effective without them.!
Continued Improvement of submersi
bles may make the $20,000,000 bat
tleship a wasted investment. But for
the next generation at least aircraft
are bound to be essentir-1 to the fight
ing equipmentof any nation. And the
ifrice of one battleship will build h
whole fleet of flyers.

WOULD MAKE AMENDING
OF CONSTITUTION EASY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 21.—
A joint resolution proposing a con
stitutional amendment for an easier
method of amending the constitution
was introduced today by Representa
tive Chandler, of New York. It pro
vides submission of any proposed
amendment of a majority of both
louses of congress and ratification
by a majority of the voters ir. a ma
jority of ihc states.
For ratification it would be neces
sary also to receive an aggregate ma
jority of all votes cast in the United
States. Conventions would be held
every thirty years to consider pro
posed amendments.
Mr. Chandler said the present'
method of amending the constitution.
is archaic, cumbersome and undemo
cratic.
Patrolman Works Alone
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 21.—Patrol-,
man Albert K. Griffith, who confess-]
ed yesterday to holding up an ex
press guard Thursday in the down
town district and carrying off morej
than $6,000 in gold and $34,000 in
securities, faced a line of witnesses
today, who wgre called to identify
him with a murder and other crimes.
Several said the policeman “looked
like” the person they sought, but the
police found nothing to contradict
Griffith's denial of guilt. Search for
an accomplice in the express rob
bery failed, and Griffith's assertion
that he worked alone, the police said,
probably was true.
