Amer ican production of a new, rant, and Ihoroly up-to-duto model of 1 1 K 1 1 1 1 n piano, that has been tested on the liuttlo fronts and found to bent any thing the Germans have produced, lius begun. This 1b the now "S. K.-5" type, whoso production by tho Curtlss air plane works hero lius been ordered liy the aircraft production board to take tho place of the Ill-fated "Bris tol" that was found to ho useless and Scrapped. Tho S. 10. -r, Is a battle plane, and las passed tho experimental Btage. Its production will ho rushed thru on tho basis of what Is In fact a "Chinese eopy." Is Huttkt I'lnno This model Is a British piano, per fected by Major (lonornl llrnncknor, lioad of the equlpmont division of the llrltlsh war ministry, and Sir Henry Fowler, the ninn who reorganized the Koynl Aircraft factory of England The Hoyal Aircraft factory Is tho mother of the S, K.-S. It has given exceptional service, and an exception nl account of Itself on tho fighting front. Abroad It was equipped with the itolls-ltoyce and Ilia Sunbeam motor. Hero It will take the "Lib erty." This type of fighting plane was constructed to take a high-powered motor like tho 'Liberty" (4 35 lorsopower). In this respect it dif fers from the Bristol, which proved a failure- when powered with the Lib erty, because it waB designed to take an engine of only 1 2 r horsepower. The S. 12.-5 was dosigned in ad vance of the production of a motor of 415 horsepower. But the Liberty motor was designed in time to tiso 'Wltli such a model. Ilritlsli Also nt Work In the same way the British Royal Aircraft factory is now at work on a still newer lighting piano, to bo fit ted with a motor of us yot unknown borsopower, but which must be rb high as 500. Nobody has yot de signed such a motor; and perhaps It cannot be produced, but Knglund pro poses to have a typo of plnno that can uso It. 1 Tho 8. 12-5 wan dovelopod in tho name way In udvauco of tho design ing and perfection of tho Liberty motor.

Uto first part of the assomhly work that of tho funolage- will hugln In a few days; the beginning of com plete plnno assembly In about two 'necks, and In a month, quuntlty pro duction will bo well underway.

No experimental work will lie dono at all the factory Job Is more H'diicilcm In qunntlty. It may bo expected, thereforo, that tho output of battleplanes of this typo will bo going overxens within a uvusonnhly short time, to supplement the supply of I). II. fighting planes already being turned out by other JKUIItS. What Is more Important, this new type Is known to bo the equal or bet ter than any flghllng plane tho Huns 1'nve so fur produced. And Its pro duction will bo additional to ull other aircraft production, slnco It will uso merely tho equipment and workmen who wero engaged on the experimen tal production of tho abandoned Bris tol, of which only 211 completed ma chines were over produced.

SHOULD BE KEPI By William 0. McAdoo, I'nlted StateB Secretary of tho Treasury. WASHINGTON, l. C, Aug. 6. It has been brought to my attention that a largo number of patriotic citi zens who subscribed to Liberty loun bonds are being approached from time to time by agents who have, with too frequent success, induced them to sell their Liberty loun bonds and take In exchange securities which In a number of cases have been of questionable value. It Is of tho utmost Importance that tho Investments of this army of pa triots should bo safeguarded In every possible way, and thut their action in lending their money to their govern ment should not bo taken advantage of by irresponsible pooplo seeking sololy a profit for themselves. 1 therefore warn Investors in Lib erty loan bonds against exchange of these evidences of their patriotism for any securities or soculled secur ities. While some of tho securities or socallod securities, offered In ex change for government bonds aro of sound value, there Is no doubt thut a large percentage of them aro worth less. ' I believe It Is for the best Interests of the people- at largo, as well as for their actual protection, that they dis regard all such offerB and hold fast to the best Investment In the world thut is, bonds of their own govern ment. Practically all tho substantial and representative Investment houses of the country. In co-operation with the government and muny other patriotic agencies, have participated In a most unsolflsh wuy in Liberty loan cam paigns, sacrificing their own inter ests in order to contribute their share toward winning the war. It is incon ceivable that after the magnificent work of distributing government bonds thus accomplished in a large measure by investment houses, some of tho same people should attempt to substitute other securities for the government bonds which they have Just helpod in placing. I seems evi dent that a large majority of such offers made to holders of government bonds must bo mado by tho loast re sponsible of tho security merchants, and that suspicion as to tho charac ter of tho bonds offered In exchange is fully Justified. It Is my earnest liopo that every purchusor of a Liberty bond will realize lhat tho only genuine help ho gives Ills government Is by koeping his bond as an investment us long as It is possiblo for him to do so. Where, bocause of misfortuno or imperative necessity, the holder of a Liberty bond Is forced to sell, thero can, of courso, he no objection. UOMK, Italy, Aug. (!.

During the year ending June 30, 1918, 2150 en emy aircraft were destroyed by the Hoyal Air force on the western front. One thousand, eighty-three enemy aircraft were driven down out of con trol. The Hoyal Air force, working with navu airmen, brought down 623 enemy aircraft. During the same period 1094 Brit ish muchines were reported missing, Including 92 working with the navy. During the period from April to Juno of this year the British destroy ed 165 enemy machines on the Ital ian front and drove six down out of control. On the Salonlkl front, be tween Januury and June, 21 enemy planes were destroyed and 13 driven down out of control. From March to Juno In ICgypt and Palestine 26 en emy machines were destroyed and 15 driven down out of control. A total of 1121 British machines have been reported missing In this time, while 4102 enemy machines were brought down. MADRID. Spain, Aug. 6. Spain's pro-Gorman industrial magnates are beginning to turn the weapon of the Hun submarines against their pro ally competitors. It hus been a no ticeable fact that the recent sinkings of Spanish ships almost invariably belonged to pro-ally owners. Kour ships owned by tho Taya Shipping company of Barcelona, were submarined In two months. The ships, with a total tonnage of over 9,000, were engaged in transporting goods either to or from allied coun tries. Senor Taya, who holds the control ling interest in the Taya Shipping company, has thus lost a third of his Ships in a few weeks. Ho has long been an opponent of the Pro-Germans, and a constant de- fler of their blockade orders. Ho 1b also owner of tho "Publlcidad" which papor lias been advocating tho justice or the allied cause for tho past two years. EARL READING ARRIVES IN LONDON ON MISI0N KKW YOIiK, Amj.

Recent allied air raids on German cities have caused the Germans to in crease the number of their "reprisal camps" for allied prisoners, accord ing to several French prisoners who escaped into Switzerland from the camp at Mannheim. , - In these camps prisoners are forced to work from 12 to 14 hours a day without sufficient food. After each air raid, one French officer said, Hun treatment of British prisoners is particularly atrocious and the men 'are made to suffer greatly. In the Rhine towns, where air raids more frequently occur, prison- 'ers are concentrated near rail cen ters, munition factories and other centers of attack. 1 It fs said the Huns are pursuing this policy in order to put nn end to allied air raids.

American ideas in standardization are bent ins the I'-boats by means of standardicd marieii engines, which replace those damaged by C-boat attacks. All along the shores of England where the innumerable shipping sta tions of the admiralty are fighting the U-boat, statulurdiation in work has been slowly but surely felt. Production in large quantities of ma nne engines of not more than bail' a dozen types has already worked wonders. Shafting; auxiliary ma chinery, pumps, valves, fillings and piping are also manutaeturc(r in ipmnUties, fullest advantage being taken of duplication and of available resources in supply and tabor. Firms falling behind in their sched ule for ship construction are thus aide to call on the reserve supply to satisfy their needs and complete their work on time. The earlier enuines lnnnufactured were able to work under n pressure of 2,f00 horsepower, and in e.iscs of emergency could make .'t.OOO horse power. The models now being made are otV far greater power and are available to all types of vessels from that of the small coaster size to ocean going ones. I'ndcr present conditions should :i V-boat damage a ship's engines it docs not mean the end of that boat's capacity for future work. If she" still can be towed into port n new set of engines is put in at once. This is one of the fruits of- standardization.
