THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICE NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES ot the fighting will be back In the commercial world, and the develop ment of machines that have come Into general ue In war service will continue for freight and passenger service. Two ot the greatest difficulties that are to be found In alt land transportation are at once eliminat ed in the air. They are the matter of road ways of whatever kind, of which there are billions of dollars worth In the Vnlted States today, and many more billions are needed. Also, the expensive and compli cated mechanism of every machine is the part that is eliminated when the machine drops Us wheels and takes wings in their stead. The idea is a sound one, and we predict a great future for the air route. I THE AIR ROUTE Mr.W'inton, of the Wtnton Motor Car Company, ventured the asser tion when in Portland last week, that the great undeveloped field for the world of transportation is now in the air. This seems strange when the fact is considered that a dozen years ago the heavier than air machine was considered an absolute impossibility and the Wrights, who have since become more than famous, were thought to be defective in mind for Advocating such a machine. The student of the fighting that has been done in Europe in the air will admit that there lies the one 'field where the war can be decided and there alone. All nations have perfected the -land and water machines until there is nothing to add, but the air is a "virgin field, and the nation or group of nations that develop the most unusual features ot air fighting and 'develop them first, will win the war, ajid of course the allies will do that. But after the war. The thou sands of men who are giving their best time and effort to this branch WAR TIME 1XSVRAXCK Whether men who fight for the liberty of the Vnlted States be paid for their losses on a plan to be de vised now, or the matter be loft un til after the conflict is over and then taken up as pensions as has been done after other wars is a mat ter that the nation must decide soon. The task of insuring the lite and limb ot each Individual in an army ot millions, and paying claims ot which there will be a great many, seems at first appalling. It seems the only wise thing to do however, and the magnitude of losses will of course be in keeping with the war. which is the biggest thing of its kind the world has ever seen. There can be no question of the justice in this kind of insurance. It the individual offers his life for his country's cause, the least that that country should do is to pay a reasonable amount, for no amount ot money could balance the debt, in case his life is taken, or should he be wounded. It is an occasion without prece dent, and must be handled in keep ing with the times, and not on a basis of past wars. All other features of the conflict are being cared for In a grand way, a way that will place a debt on every nation of the earth that will take years to eliminate, and that will bankrupt the world should it be continued many years, hence the losses of the nature mentioned above should be considered In the same big and generous way, and the time to consider the matter is now. num. v wt 'rr -frig Many men would volunteer who now hesitate, and all would be more at ease it they knew this matter would be cared for, and justly.
