The Freedom of the Seas
Aviator's Training Is Infensir
'L'o the Editor of
The Thieve
Dear Sir;
While the United States and Germ-
any are so far at verianee as to be a
war with each other, they are in comp.
1010 agreement in the use of the same
phrase to deemihe ti condition whiel
they both say must he insisted upon as
one of the tering of peace, which cond.
rtinua
t ,o be constant in pence and fu
war. This phrase is the 'Freedom of
the 5881
One would think that this was a dc..
sirable Condition which did not nxiat
formerly, and which is to be brought
about by the war. 11 is a pity Presi-
dent Wilson has 1101 stated clearly
what 11e moans by the phrase or in
what reopen and by whom the freedom
of the seas was interfered with before
the war. The ports of all nations were
open to the ships of all nations, and
only pirates, of whom practically there
were Crone, attacked ships on the high
seas. After war was declared, the
German Navy very modestly retired to
the Kiel Canal, but Britain kept her
cruisers patroling the North Sea, and
halting ships of all nations, including
those of the United States, that were
bound for Northern Europe, and search
ing them for supplies of fold and wee
materials intended for Germany,
The United States protested to Brit-
ain against this interference with her
shipping, but Britaiu was doing only
what the United States would have
done had she been in Britain's plaoe.
Of course since the United States went
into the war and thus became one with
Britain she ceased to protest, but
whether at the peace oonferenoe she
will revive the former protests or not
remains to be seen Queer things hap-
pen sometimes.
The German .Imperial Chancellor,
Von Hertling, however, is more explicit
as to what he means by the phrase.
He says; "It would. however, be highly
important for the freedom of aatpping
in future if strongly fortified naval
bases on ini`portant international routes
such as England has at Gibraltar Malta
Aden Hongkong, the Falkland Islands,
and many ether places were removed.'t
These words of the German Chance
allot would have some meauing if those
strongly fortified planes, whioh Britain
maintains, had ever, in the slightest
degree, interfered with shipping; but
Britain can defy ever) the German
Chancellor himself to prove that they
so interfered, his words aro meaning-
less
It was supposed that the German
Chancellor referred to Britain as the
curtailer of the freedom of the seas,
and these words of the Imperial Ler-
man Chancellor prove that this suppos-
tii0n is oorreet,
These places have been no more a
matinee to the freedom of the seas
than the policeman on his beat is to
the freedom of the law-abiding citizen,
. Britain maintains then, solely for
proteotion of her own immense and
worldwide commerce, and not until she
is utterly defeated will she rolingciah
them at the behest of Germany,

The second stage in the cadet's
training ie at the big.new flying fielde,
wifere he first goes into the air and
applies the theoretioal knowledge gain
ed at the ground schools and continu-
ed in advance instruction here. The
cadet's first joy ride and hie earlier
tripe generally are taken in company
with the instructor, who has full eon -
trot and responsibility for the machine,
and whose main purposes are, first, to
estimate the cadet's coolness, an4 se•
ooud, to accustom him to the feel of
the air. As soon ea his skill warrants
it, the cadet is allowed to direct the
controls himself, always subject to the
oheoVo£ the instructor, in order that he
may learn safely just how to manage
the wings, rudder and engine, This
early practice coneiata chiefly of short
flights with many starts and landings,
the Most difficult phllso in flying.
Then when the cadet hoe shown him
self a master of these principles, he
goal ftp alone into the air for the first
time. He is watuhed with most infin-
ite care by the instructors below, with
the most rigid instructions to prevent
accidents and fully coached upon land.

More .honey is Wanted
Sugar is an, important war food, its
price ie high and there will probably be
a thortago in the near future. Honey,
the unequalled natural sweet that sup
ar cannot wholly replace, is being affect
ed in sympathy. The unusually large
atop in 1916 in Ontario, Qnobso and
'Manitoba, was sold quickly at prides
slightly above those of the previeue
seasoe and present indi0ati0ne point to
still greater demand and higher prices
for the new crop, Thus, by producing
as much honey as possible this year,
