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.
Tho CtiKtlKS plant departments,
w lilrh wore dcvolod to tho Bristol
experiment, have all been cleaned
out; all tho "small-part" factories
aro busy grinding out Binall parts of
Tood and metal for I ho new 8.
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.
Quantity Iti'prodiiitlon
All that tho plant needs to do Is lo
copy part for part und screw for
ecrow for screw tho model ulready set
up. 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.

HUNS LOOSE 4102
PLANES IN.YEAR
LONDON, Aug. 6. 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

GENEVA, Switzerland. Aug. 6.
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.

ENGINES HELP 101
LOXIJON, Knir., Aug. 5. 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.
