Those are the principles of ' the American flag, the American people, the Ameri- can nation. We are being baptized again in the faith of our fathers. On this flag day we must be confirmed again in the convictions for which ““Old Glory” stands and has always stood. Brave men have fought for the flag of this nation. Noble hearts have laid down their lives for it. Loving women have unteld hardships that it might wave on forever over a land of freedom. From 1778 to 1917 is a long stretch of time. Great deeds have been written on the books. 'The Star Spangled Banner has braved ad- versities from Bunker Hill to Manila Bay,—and it has never been defeated. That it shall never know surrender the men of this nation' on Tuesday, June 5 stepped up to the registration booths and wrote their names for the call to arms. Ten million young men there arc between the ages of twenty- one and thirty-one who stand ready to die for the flag. There are ten million more hetweeén the ages of thirty-one and forty-ane. And ten million more between the ages of forty-one amd fifty-one. And, if rieeds be, there are the men who marched behind the American flag at ‘' Gettysburg, and Appomatox, and Shiloh, and Antie- tam. They are old but the spirit is still there. It never dies. So long as any man in this nation has a leg to stand on, or a hand to hold a rifle, 0Old Glary will never know a dearth af defenders. It is born in the blood. This nation of all nations honors and reveres its flag because of what that flag means, because of what it stands for, because of its clean record. We \have accepted the gage of battle for it, we must dedicate again our lives to it on tomorrow its birthday. That \ll the meaning of this Flag Day. AS IT SHOULD BE. Attorney General Gregory's order to prosecute all nien between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one .who neglected or refused to conform to the Selective Service law is no more than was expected by the country at large. Jail is the place for those who wilfully side-stepped Uncle Sam's order to present themselves on Tues- day, June 5 for registration. In jail they should be. The interests of the patriotic young men who responded demand that the slackers and shirkers should be rounded up and punished. The first steps toward such an end are naw under way. The Herald is today publishing some 1,500 names of those in this city who did their duty. ‘These names are from the books in the sixth ward. As soon as other ward lists are completed these names too will he published. By a process of elimina- tion the autharities will very readily determine just who did not register. By a fair trial the Federal authori- ties will decide why the recalcitrants falled to take advantage of an op- portunity to obey the law. There was plenty of publicity previous to regis- tration day. There are very few ex- cuses that will hold water when the disobedient ones are brought to bay. New Britain having over-subscribed to the Liberty Yoan of 1917 should feel justly proud. But New Britain should not stop there. If we are one aof the few cities in the country that have done slightly’ more than our share of the work we are to be con- gratulated. If we can be the only city that actually doubles its quota of sub: ptions we, shall indeed have cal for rejoicing. At any rate, Uncle S8am will know where the old 'town stands.

TO SEND 1,000 AVIATORS A MONTH This Is Just Double the Porce First Considered. ‘Washington, June 13.—The govern- ment hak completed tentative plans to send 1,000 aviators a month to France and the first big overseas force of air men will bé ready to embark some time in September. These men will have received pre- Hminary training in technical schools and on aviation fields bfore they leave the United States, and, in fact, "the majority of those who W&1 go with the first cOntingent are now hard at work on the rudiments of flying. On arriving in France they have a short period in intensive - tralning under peace, « . . and wve Dishonored and that ‘| liminary training, and thousands have COLONEL VANDERBILT'S REGIMENT - READY FIRST IN NEW YORK COL. CORNELIVS VANDERBILT The place of honor in the race to full war strength by New York's na- tional guard organizations that are being made ready for service in France was won by the Twenty-sec- ond regiment of engineers. Colonel Cornelius Vanderbilt reported that the:37 officers and 1,061 men had been mobllized at the regiment’s ar- mory in accordance with Governor ‘Whitman's orders, Regular army officers sald the fact that the Twenty- second was recruited with such rapid- ity showed good organization work. Colonel Vanderbilt took command of the Twenty-second in December last. The regiment had been on the border, commanded by a regular army officer, and had made a record for efficiency, even if. considered only as a body of infantry. Regular army officers said the reg- iment will not need much intensive training before goifig' to France. One battalion is schooled in road repair- ing and trench work. The other has made a specialty of bridge building. Colonel Vanderbilt has been in the New. York national guard for more than sixteen years. He served sev- eral years in the Twelfth infantry, reaching thc rank of captain. In October, 1908, he was detailed to the inspector general's department with the rank of major, and on June 1, 1912, was promoted to lieutenant colonel. He went to the Mexican border, where his work was com- mended by Major General O'Ryan, in command of the New York division.

American manufacturers have ‘Promised to supply all of the training planes needed by this country and its allies, and thus make it possible for the French and English to_devote all of their energies to turning out the fast and powerful battle planes of the supremacy of the air, It is not unlike- | ly that some of great factories which | in the past have been used for -the g manufacture of automobiles will be turned into airplane plants. Federal officials have made a thor- ough investigation of the conditions [herc and have found an unexpected respose. They have received from manufacturers this reply to all of thelr questions. “Tell us what you want; tell us how many airplanes the United States and her allies need and they will be sup- plied. A country that can turn out hundreds of thousands of automo- | biles a year will not fail its govern- ment when the demand is made.” Experts from England, France and the United States are at work with the one purpose in view of a co-ordi- ; nation of effort that will eliminate Germany from the fighting in the air, | & step which will.go far toward short- | ening the war. In fact, much more has been ac- complished in this direction that his generally been made known. Three aviation fields at Dayton, Ohio; De- | troit, Mich.,, and Champaign, Il | where the aviators will receive their | first taste of practical training, are already more than half completed, and thousands of men are rushing the work, Six or seven other training flelds have been authorized. The Tesponse on the part of the young | men of the country has also been | most comforting to the government officials. Already more than enough physically fit for air service, have | come forward and started their pfe- | filed applications and are the government’s decision, It is estimated also that nearly ! $:000 of the young men who entered the training camps for reserve officers will be available for service as avia- tors. The army officers in charge of these camps, it is sald, have kept a careful watch of the men in order to determine those who are best fitted for the work. The program of 1,000 aviators a month is just double the force first considered by the Aircraft Production board. This is the result of data fur- nished by members of the visiting ! French, English and Italian commis- sions. It is felt that Germany had; been checkmated in the fighting on solid ground. lear the air of Ger- mans, it was stated, and the longest step toward the successful culmina- tion of the war has been taken. Reports received here concerning the battle of Mesines and part that the airmen played in bringing victory to the British has added impetus to the steps which have been taken. The awaiting < officials here feel that the plans which have been dra,wn up will meet the sit- uation. It is felt that with the assistance which America can give soon in win- ‘ning supremacy of the air, all of the territory occupied by the armies of the Allles can be protected and ob- servations made for miles behind the German lines. | FATHER AN D SON ENLISTING BRITISH WHY DELAY?

THE OUTPOST. Patrols are by no means sufficlent to guarantee the security of a force i hostile territory, or in the prox- imity of an enemy in friendly terri- tory. Every camp or bivuoac should be protected by covering detachments' known as Outposts, although it is true that an Outpost tay also exer- cise the functions of a Patrol and become an Outpost Patrol- The Outpost Patrol is used to keen in close contract with the enemy, and | this has been found to be the mos§ economical form of protection, since, it the Commander is kept constantly advised of the whereabouts of the enemy, it will be unnecessary for himy to make use of as elaborate. & system, of Outposts as otherwise to guard against _surprise- Nevertheless, hq | should always err on the side of caus flmhmanmo:thm The size and disposition of an Out- |, post will depend uponi & number of factors, including the size of the ‘whole command, the proximity of the enemy, the particular situation with Tespect to the enemy, and the na- ture’ of the terrain. Outposts may vary in strength from & very small fraction to one-third of the entire force. The principle to be kept in mind is that Outposts, like Patrols, should at least always be suf- ficiently large to insure reasonable security. A few sentinels and pa- trols will usually answer for a single Company, but for a large command, & more elaborate system of Outposts must be established. o The supreme duty of an Outpost is to prevent surprise and prevent an attack upon the camp befowe the troops are prédpared to resist. For a camp to be “jumped,” in the col- loquial language of the army, is an offense on the part of the Commander" which is neither to be explained nor extenwated. This does not mean that a camp or bivouac may not be over- whelmed with a sudden attack by an enemy force, but at least the com- mand should have sufficient warning from its Outposts to make an organ- ized show of resistance. —_— only son of General White, in com- mand of the Brittsh recruiting com- migsion in the United States.

Washington, June 13.—The trial at Boston of Werner Horn, held in connection with an attempt to dyna- mite the Canadian Pacific railway bridge across the St. Croix river on February 2, 1915, was suspended by Horn’s habeas corpus suit. Under a federal indictment charging unlawful transportation of explosives from New York through Massachusetts to ‘Vanceboro, Me., the American term- inus of the international bridge, Horn has been held in jail at Boston in default of $10,000 bail.

He contended that mere alove of his reserve.army commission oper-: ated to give su ption—while tn: -.. commission of an alleged “public” - and belligerent act of war against an enemy of Germany. He contended that his authority to act was implied and that express authorisation or command- from his government was unnecessary. Although the German government has not avowed respon- sibility for his acts, Horn contended that he could not be punished In American courts and was punishable only for violation of American neu- trality. Refusal of Federal Judges Hale tand Putnam to entertain or permit filing of his habeas corpus suit also was set up by Horn as ground for re- lease from Boston and return to. Maine. Denial of constitutional riglits of 'habeas corpus was alleged- That Horn, even though a German army officer, is punishable for infrac- tion of United States civil law al- though upon an enterprise against an enemy of Germany, was contended by’ the department of justice in the su- preme court proceedings.
