RAILROAD AFFILIATION
BARS GENERAL CHAPMAN
Modesto Herald.

The Call vigorously combats a PROPOSE
ton looking to the appointment Of Cen
eral Chapman of Red Bluff as member
of the Interstate Commerce Commission,
arguing that he is too closely allied with
the Southern Pacific Company to be
placed in a position to pass upon inter-
state railroad rates and regulations. And
The Call is right Chapman in every other
respect is eminently-even pre-eminently-
qualified for the position, but his known
affiliation with the Southern Pacific Com
pany would destroy his usefulness, no
matter how honest his motives. And the
honesty of Chipman's motives would be
questioned be it noted, by men who have
known him to accept railroad "sugges-
tions" in politics to promote railroad ends.
But while a known ally of the Southern
Pacific Company should by no means be
made member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, 1t by no means follows
that known enemy of our great railroad
corporation should be named for the
place. The appointee should in this re-
spect be as free from prejudice as from
favor, and a man who could neither be
influenced by railroad pressure nor by
popular clamor' melted by metropolitan
papers for selfish and spiteful purposes.

GERMAN ARMY EXPERIMENTS

DEPORTS OF the results of the German army
~ maneuvers for the year contain much interest
ing information concerning the adaptation to
military uses OF carrier pigeons, trained dogs BIZ
cycles, balloons and automobiles. In the operations
10000 men were employed and the field OF the
maneuvers extended a wide range OF country SO
that every means of communication between distant
posts tested and its value calculated for use in
case OF actual
The campaign was conducted in a country that
to large extent mountainous and there were
heavy rains during nearly the whole period, and yet
despite the uneven nature and wet condition of the
roads large number OF bicycles were used for car
rying dispatches and proved to be OF great service
1t is said that during the whole week OF the
maneuvers dispatches carried at night from the
field OF battle to the headquarters Karlsruhe by
lays OF ten men, a distance Of about sixty to eighty
miles II bicycsts suddenly attacked the road
by cavalry and have not time to take up position
OF shelter they dismount, lay their machines fiat on
the road, retreat PAGES, and receive the cavalry
with quick fire. 1t is curious fact that horses have
most decided objection to charge bicycle spread
out the road
The use of the automobile is said to have been a
brilliant success Those tried were very small with
two seats, for officer and driver They carried dis
patches elderly staff officers quickly from one po-
sition to another, and sometimes attained and kept
up speed of forty miles hour. There were several
accidents mostly at night, from reckless driving
Further experiments, it is said, are going to be made
in this direction, especially with regard to motor
cars luggage wagons.
Dogs were used to carry ammunition to the front
and dispatches to the and said to have proven
very useful auxiaries to the army Those used were
thoroughly trained and as alert to do their mill
tary work sporting dog is do the work expected
of him in the hunting field Extensive use was made
OF pigeons, but nothing OF novelty was noted in their
service The operations OF the balloons were him
dered to great extent by the rainy weather and
little if any Improvement was noted over the bal
looms OF former years It is stated that wherever the
Emperor stood signal balloon with flag attached
was sent up in order to enable the orderes with dis
patches to find him at Every time his Majesty
decided upon ending the maneuvers for the day a
large round ball was sent up to the signal balloon
Another novelty was the introduction of an oxygen
! light for signaling purposes

how eager the Germans make use OF everything
that can be OF any service whatever in war Whether
