BERLIN PROTESTS
. BEING STRIPPED OF
STATUS AS CAPITAL
BERLIN June 17 (by Associated
Press).—A huge meeting was held the
other day to protest against the efforts
to strip Berlin of its status as a capi
tal. Mayor Wermuth and several others
painted Berlin as a world city of artt
a city for visitors and a city of the
future. Despite its present smuttiness,
crime and disorder, they said, Berlin
will regain its reputation as the clean
est, safest and best governed city in
the world. Wermuth said that further
disturbances would bring agony, and
urged all to work to improve condi
tions.
Sydicus Willner admitted that Ber
lin never was popular, especially in
Germany and that “Berlin is consid
ered a black sheep among German
cities.” He explained that its posi
tion necessitated the presence of good,
bad and indifferent.
Dr. Max Osborn declared that im
perial Berlin had clogged itself with
lonely buildings and senseless monu
ments. “The real Berlin is hidden
behind these pretentious characterless
things but now there is no barrier to
recreating it as a city of art without
parallel,” he declared.
GERMAN ZEPPELINS
THEIR OWN UNDOING
LONDON, June 17 (by Associated
Press).—While wireless telegraphy
made it possible for German Zeppelin
squadrons to approach the English
coast at night and often raid London
and other cities, it also was theii
undoing. The British one day captured
a German “listening-in” set, and im
mediately so improved upon it that
the intelligence department had ar
instrument which picked up thf
faintest earth curents and magnified
them by a valve amplifier. Lieuten
ant Colonel A. G. T. Cusins recentlj
told the story to the institute of elec
trical engineers.

American Navy Needs 358,000 Sailors
Effectively to Man Its Ships
By CAPT. W. A. MOFFETT, U. S. S. Mississippi
The American navy has accomplished marvelous
things, even since the armistice. It has been maneu
vering constantly and training its men, and it is in
such a high state of efficiency that it could go into
battle tomorrow or any day as easily as you or I could
go to a tea party.
Nevertheless this great ocean machine is in dan
ger. The reservists are getting out. The enlisted
strength on many vessel^has been reduced. Impor
tant units will have to be tied up at the dock unless
there is some relief—and the relief rests in congress.
The authorized strength of the regular navy is 138,000 men. The navy’s
estimate of its need is 358,000 men. It cannot be effective with a lesser
number. But the last congress adjourned without giving us the authori
zation for this number.
The navy must not be handicapped. If it is all the money spent for
Liberty bonds and all the money that will be pledged to the Victory loan
will go for naught. The United States must have a navy to back up its
ideals. Peacje must not dismantle the navy. And this is the problem
Chicago and the middle West must solve.
I GLIDDEN, AIR SERVICE PUBLICITY
Capt. Charles J. Glidden has been
made chief of publicity of the United
States air service, with headquarters
in New York. It Is stated that the 1
air service will soon open a recruiting
campaign to secure nearly 20,000 men.
Captain Glidden for several months
before the armistice had charge of air
service publicity in New England and
then from Omaha. j
Captain Glidden Is a remarkable
man. Although sixty-two years of age,
he looks not a day past forty-five. He
made the long distance telephone, built
the first one and developed its use
through advertising many years ago
while president of the New England
Bell Telephone company. Later he
was president of the Bell Telephone
company in Texas, where he did pio
neering work in telephone develop- I
ment. *

thusiast, and has a record of having
made three flights from Paris, two from London, two from Hull, England, and
42 in the United States.
When the automobile came along he saw its possibilities and led traveling
by auto in every civilized country of the world. He was the first promoter
of automobile reliability tours, originating the famous Glldden tours, which
were annual events in America for a number of years until the war, and haB
offered the Glldden trophy this year for a permanent possession to the winner
of a transcontinental run, from New York to San Francisco.
“The value of advertising is unlimited,” he says.
