KEEPING THE PEACE.

King Edwards diplomacy is already bearing
precious fruit. We are told that the French
government has taken strong initiative tow
ard preventing a breach between Great Britain
and Russia It is making representations to
the Russian government which il expects TO be
effective. There is no doubt that such repre-
sensations from that source will have much
weight at ST. Petersburg. There can be no
doubt, either, that France Is more ready to
make them now than she would have been
before the cordial approachment between her
self and Great Britain, which was so largely
brought about by King Edward. That SOW
erelgns tactful diplomacy is now probably one
OF the strongest forces making FOR the preser-

HOLLAND AS AN AERONAUT.

When q man who has won reputation in one
line of invention lets it be known that lie Is
hopeful of achieving success i'll another, the
fact is sure TO arrest attention. John p Hol-
land. the autho. OF several improvements in the
submarine boat. has long been fascinated by
the possibilities of aerial navigation, and The
Tribune YESTERDAY mentioned thar he has nearly
completed flying machine in whose merits
he feels much confidence. Ii consists OF light,
strong frame of aluminium and wire, and Is 70

pected to serve double purpose not only sus-
tanning the apparatus when il is once aloft but
also enabling the aeronaut by the exercise OF
muscular power to rise from the ground and 10
make Roadway through the air
4 long series Of experiments by other men has
demonstrated the soundness OF the principle of
the aeroplane. Chanute, Langley, Lilienthal
and Maxim have shown that if the area be sutti-
GENTLY extensive. horizontal sheet OF cloth or
metal will hold up almost any amount of weight
so long as the device is kept moving. IL Mr..
Holland uses stout enough materials and estab-
fishes the proper proportion between the sur
face of his wings and the burden TO be carried.
there should be no question about his ability 10
execute the first part Of his programme. Little
success has attended the operations OF launching
and landing mainly. however because few at
tempts mt actual hight have yet been made with
this type of machine. There seems to be no
fundamental reason for deemips either proceed

AS much cannot be said for effecting horizon

sort of engine. The idea of initiating the bird
has captivated many minds. but competent on.
gineers pronounce il fallaciOus. The movements
of birds wings are swift and complicated, and
il is extremely doubtful whether these can eve-
be exactly reproduced by any inanimatc mechan-
ism. What is much more important man is ap-
parently not strong enough 10 do the required
work. The birds superiority Is the result of
constant effort for thousands OF years. Both its
power and skill have been evolved by continll-
Gus practice Man might hope TO equal them in
the same war. the benefits Of special exercise

THEY OIIGHT TO AGREE.

1t is extremely unfortunate that there should
be MISUNDERSTANDING and dissensions between
a few of the magistrates in our police courts
and members of the Police Department. Both
sides may lie somewhat in fault. No doubt pa
trolmen in many cases make arrests without
convincing evidence against their prisoners, and
unquestionably several OF the justices in the
lowest of criminal courts may fall now and then
into the error of setting free accused prisoners
who deserve to be held for trial.
There ought TO be cordial cooperation between
all ranks of the force and the dispensers of JUS
tice. Commissioner McAdoo declares that he
is exceedingly anxious to bring this about. and
the magistrates should meet him at least half

WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.

Washington July 2l.-Naval officers here be-
lieve that the Anglo Russian complications over
the seizure of the Malacca will be only a furry
although there may be an international ques-
ton between London and Constantinople over
the passage Of Russian ships through the Oar
danelles- The attitude OF Great Britain was
commended. but none OF the officers believed
there would be any serious difficulty between
Russia and England or Russia and Germany
over the seizures 1t said that Russia had
the right of search under the circumstances and

American naval officers believe that the Rus

They no other hope of Russian defeat Of the
Japanese. If the Baltic fleet can form a union
with the vessels at vlaAlivostok there will be
some chance Of driving the Japanese from the
sea. This will serve 10 relieve Port Arthur IL
that base does not fall in the mean time. II
will also have the effect of interfering with
transportation OF troops and munitions OF war
and in that way deprive the Japanese Of the
means OF reinforcing their armies in Manchuria
and OF necessary supplies. Army officers are not
willing to share this view TO the same extent
although they admit that such step would be
of the greatest Importance to the Russian cause
Some OF them believe. however. that Russia will
still be able 10 drive the Japanese from the i'm
portant positions they now hold. This predc-
ton is based on the possibility OF Russian re-
cuperatiOn and the Introduction into Manchuria
