AEROPLANE PRODUCTION.

PHILADELPHIA, March 23. The: oaanalty lists are having precisely' the anticipated effect upon the sensitive minds of Americans, at home (writes FHillerton L. Waldo). Before we entered th© war there were doubtless people m the far West so ignorant, of what was happening m France that they imagined "camouflage" to be a kind of cheese, and ! so sadly wanting m the knowledge of the geography even of our own coastline that they would believe you ff you told) them Sandy Hook was a Scotchman. As the names como m of' the men killed whom they know, their attitude underwent a rapid change. They now liave the aching intimacy of a personal concern m the war they had not felt before. Now if you tell them of the immense need of tonnage, of the iniperative'demand for food oonsei*vation, of th© requisition of the utmost man-power, womaVi -power, and childpower of the land, they will soberly listen and ask what they ought to do. The visit of the Archibshop of York to our shores is among the most important stimuli we have received. He speaks with the authority of one who has lived with the Grand Fleet and with Tommy m the trenches, and "one who comes among us m the authority of an obser-vant-visit to the front, is accorded a respectful attention that is independent of rank or station.
