AERIAL TRAGEDIES
The fate of the Shenandoah and the probable loss of
the naval seaplane PN-9 No. 1, each with a considerable
loss of life, shows that aerial navigation has not yet pro
gressed for enough beyond the experimental stage to
make it entirely dependable. Science, skill, and end
less experiments are gradually eliminating the danger
ous features of aeronautics, but the terrible disaster to
the Shenandoah following so slosely on that which seems
trj have overtaken the missing seaplane, demonstrate
that we have yet a long way to go before air craft be
come as safe as the land and water carriers.
Each of these disasters and the investigations which
follow add something to the knowledge of the new
method of transportation and make it safer for those
who follow. It is the knowledge thus gained that de
creases the risk and increases the utility of air craft, but
it is regretable that it must be purchased at such a fear
ful toll of human life.
The Shenandoah tragedy like that of the seaplane,
eeetns to be due to an unusual conflict with the forces
of nature. Early particulars indicate that the big dirig
ible encountered a gale which outmatched her structural
strength. In the case of the seaplane, severe head winds
exhausted her supply of fuel and forced her down into
the stormtossed shark-infested waters of the Pacific
Where she vanished. It is apparent that structurally, this
craft was equal to the test that she attempted, but insuf
ficient fuel resulted in turning a successful flight into a
tragedy.
The Shenandoah, on the contrary, apparently develop
ed structural weakness. Investigations in both of these
tragedies will undoubtedly develop causes which in the
future can be removed or in which the danger can be
lessened Portland Telegram.

LETTER.'
BY HARl.KS P. STEWART
NKA Service Writer
WASHINGTON The department
of agriculture's bureau of biological
survey was prompt to resent the as
sertion of Dr. Witliam T. Hornaday
the zoologist, that the bureau isn't
doing all it ought, to check destruc
tion of the country's bird life, but (he
department of agriculture's bureau
of entomology comes forth with the
information that the birds arc being
destroyed.
What the entomological folk have
to say Is purely on their own account
not in answer to the biologists' rath
er angry rebuttal of Dr. Hornaday's
charge. They simply arise to remark
that bugs are a good deal worse than
they used to be, and the reason is
there aren't so many birds.
"Nature has her balances," as
Congressman Martin L. Davcy, the
tree doctor, remarked to me recently,
"and when they're disturbed it makes
bad work."
"For instance, plant life would be
endangered but for the birds. Insects
live on the plants and if there were
enough of them they'd eat all the
vegetation up. There would be
enough of them, too. if it weren't for
the birds. They eat the insects.
"They eat so many, if there are
enough hird3, that the plants hold
their own. The more birds the mor" 1
plants. But destroy the birds or re
duce their number considerably and ;
the insects multiply enormously and
at a prodigius rate, and simply sweep
vegetation' away."

minished greatly in the Inst genera
tion or two no authority ou the sub
ject denies. Some of the agriculture
department entomologists estimate
that It bus been reduced by hail in
40 years. But. reply the department
al biologists, most of the destruction
occurred during the earlier part of
the 40 years, when less protection
was afforded than Is afforded today:
it's adeq.uu.ie now.
Dr. Hornaday says not. He says
It's Inadequate yet, and ho iniinintes
that he thinks the departmental bi
ologists know It but don't do any
thing about it because they're too
completely under the In finance of the
American Game Protective and Pro
pagating association, whoso members

ing and propagating game.
WASHINGTON. Big navy men
are getting ready to put up a stiff
fight, not only against the cut
President Coolldge is underlined to
want, in the next appropriation for
Warship building, but In favor of a
much more liberal allowance than
the present one.
Their argument Is that the arm-,
ament limitation agreement which
resulted from the international con
ference called by President Harding
to put a stop to the race for naval
supremacy didn't in reality, stop it,
but simply changed Its form. The
United States, it is contended, has
assumed that the race was stopped
completely, hut England and Japan
haven't, and consequently this coun
try will be completely out-classed
as a sea power sonn. at the present
rate.

What the Harding confercn.ee 'lid
was to set a limit on capital ships,
but no limit whatever wan placed
on cruisers up to 10,000 tons. A
10,000-ton cruiser Is a small affair
MADE - MOT BORW
compared with a 30.000-ton battle
ship, but leaving battleships out of
consideration the former Is do
cldedly formidable craft.
And this Is the type of vessel
which the Kngllsh and Japanese are
now concentrating upon building:
The upshot presently will he, the
big navy folk predict, that while the
I'uiled States may remain, at least
theoretically. upon a battleship
equality with England anil some
what Japan's superior, she. will he
relatively so weuk In crulHcrs as to
be, net, ut a hopeless disadvantage.
To be sure, President Coolldge
plans to call nnotlu r conference, to
limit crulser-bulldlng. hut the big
navy group doesn't believe there is
the remotest possibility Bttliand und
Japan will agree to this.
By Just one method, the big navy
Ites think, does America stand
some chance of bringing the Kngllsh
and Japanese lo terms -by setting
the Kngllah and Japann.se so hot
a cruiscr-bnlldlng Pace that they
can't keep up with It. Rather thnn
bo outbuilt, or strained beyond their
powers of financial endurunco by
: America's greater resources. It s
foreseen that the two other peoples
would be willing to call a halt all
round, at some reasonable figure.
