The success OF the official experiments
with the Holland submarine boat, and
the demonstration in Paris last week of the
feasibility of steering balloons against
the wind, lead US to the conclusion that
land wars OF the future may be fought with
aerial battleships. and naval hostilities
conducted by means of batteries moving
on the floor of the sea. The development
of wireless telegraphy may ultimately in
troduce US to some way of destroying an
army at distance, without firing a gun,

Testimony offered before the subcom-
mittee on transportation of the National
Industrial Commission, now sitting in
Chicago. would almost seem to throw a
shadow of doubt on Mr. Hanna's assertion
that such a thing as a trust does not
exist in the United States One witness, a
prominent merchant of the Windy City
has sworn that five men who daily meet
in secret session after the close of the
Chicago exchange, dictate the price which
is to be paid to farmers for their grain
on the day following. and absolutely con-
trol that question. But Hanna probably
would say that this was not a trust, but
only combination for business purposes
with the methods Of which neither the law
nor the public have any legitimate con-
cern.

As illustrating one of the reasons why our
British cousins should love US, and apollo
gize for the provincial impudence of the
Canadian claim to our territory in Alaska,
it is instructive to note what an English
authority on food supply has to say. 1t
appears that if the United Kingdom de-
pended upon homegrown wheat, the an
nual supply would only last two and one
half months. The British colonies and In
dia could only furnish enough more to last
one and one-half months. At present more
than the difference suggested is supplied
by the cereal regions of the United States.
Ii commerce between this country and
Great Britain were cut off, there would be
a terrible time of it in the tight little
island" before the rest of the world could
meet the deficiency. even if that were prac-
tically possible within few years, as TO
which there may be some room for doubt.

stead Of a run. the canting of the wind
now made it a reach for the outer har-

over toward the Jersey coast with the
intention OF getting the wind astern

the Columbia's tactics. Twice she
lowered her spinnaler boom as if to
break out the big sail. but rs the wind

her main boom instead and reached

maneuver Of the Columbia had been
successful, ii was a decidedly costly

holding on to her immense canvas in
the vain hope that the wind would
shift back again. But when she did
change her sails she made up for lost
time by Cutfo0ting her antagonist. She
seemed to skim over the water, scarce

spurted from either side twenty feet
into the air. after the Columbia had
gotten a mile ahead and the yachts
were way over under the New Jersey
shore the breeze again half failed. and
the Shamrock drew gradually ahead.
1t was marvellous that in so light a
breeze a boat could slip SO swiftly
through the sea. After that the Sham
rock was never headed. but from that
time TO the finish the Columbia had
nothing but bad luck. In addition to
her faster footing powers in the ex-
tremely light air every puff of the
capricious wind seemed to strike the
Shamrock and leave the yankee boat
practically becalmed. Taken altogeth-
