AEROPLANES FOR
STATE MILITIA
Aero Club of America Plan To Equip
New York Militia With Aero
i
plane Division.
NEW YORK, May 22—The Aero
Club of America has started a fund
to establish and outfit an aeroplane
corps for the state militia. If the
plan succeeds the club will extend lt3
operations and will establish and out
fit by popular subscription an aero
plane scout corps for each state mili
tia.
The United States is lacking in
trained observers and in case of war
would be dependent upon civilian ob
servers and thereby handicapped. It
is planned to secure the necessary
money by popular subscriptions, which
•will be started today.

How Do They Do It?
Even while the German empire is
battling with terrific circumstance, the
municipal administration of Berlin
abates not jot of its well-known ef
ficiency.
The Berlin municipal council keeps
an eye calmly on its business. It has
just appropriated sums amounting to
132,500,000 to enable the city to buy
the Berlin electrical works and fur
nish cheap electricity to its citizens.
At the same time new underground
railway lines are projected. Others
are hurried to completion.
Amid the blessings of perfe t peace
the city of New York cannot even
lay out a plan for handling its own
garbage without encountering rever
sal and rebuke from a doubting state
executive.
No Prussian authority would dream
of interfering with Berlin’s methods
of keeping Itself the best-run city in
the world.
[What is this wnderful thing that
makes for administrative smoothness
land precision even In the midst of
strain and stress? How is it obtain
able? Is the cost prohibitive?—New
York Evening World.
Fifty persons have been murdered
in New York City since January 1,
says the New York World. If this
rate is maintained to the end of the
year the 1915 total will reach 190.
We encourage the assassin. In
sixteen cases no arrests have been
made; in four the persons detained
were discharged. At this rate more
than twice as many murderers a3
London’s yearly total will escape ev
en the annoyance of a trial. Suspects
are held in twenty odd cases; but as
there were but twelve executions in
the whole state of New York in nine
months last year, the chance of the
extreme penalty being exacted from
any one culprit is small.
The way to stop murder is to pun
ish the murderer, ft is the merciful
way. We execute few, and the num
ber of their victims rises toward 200
a year. London hangs nearly all her
murderers.
