For some reason or other, France and England and Germany have been al- lowed to outstrip us. One grand at- tempt was made to build up aviation in the United States army when hang- ars and equipment were set up at Col- lege Park, Md., in 1911. Fourteen officers were trained there. During the winter of 1913 the school Wwas abandoned and the officers and ma- chines sent to San Diego, California.

President Wilson today accepted the resignation of James M. Sullivan, Minister of the Dominican Republic, ‘after a thorough Investigation into the minister’'s activities had been made by the State Department. The New Hayen man was lowered on a velvet cushion labeled “temperament- ally unfit.” Mr. Sullivan may have been guilty of ‘some: very flagrant violations of etiquette while sojourning in the land of song and serenade. He was not, however, 'in a position to wreak the damage possible by some of our rep- resentatives supposed to protect Am- erican interests in nations now -at war. The American consul-general at Munich, Germany, one T. St. John Gaffney, also gives evidences of being “temperamentally unfit.” We judge this by the following letter he penned to a New York newspaper: “I should 'have believed that by this time the American newspapers would have begun 'to realize the fact that their publishing without com- ment the dispatches' fabricated in London, Paris and Petrograd is not in the interest of neutrality laid down by President Wilson. 1t poor old “Jim™ Sullivan is out of a job for ‘what he did in & country where his actions could never have broken a breach of neutrality, why should a' man like the gentleman in Munich be allowed to hold a posi- tion ‘fraught with such terrible chances of causing evil.
