Amships to Give Germans
World Supremacy
Special Correspondence of the Star.

LONDON, January %, 1907.
ID ECENT progress in aerial navigation
X has greatly stimulated the magma
tons Of those authors who delight
in waging bloody wars-on paper. When
in "Locksley Hail. Tennyson many years
ago "dipt into the future far as human
eye could see," his prophetic vision beheld
"the nations aerial navies graphing in the
central blue' But according to the poet
that awful conflict is to bring about the
era of universal peace-"the parliament of
man, the federation of the world"
According to Prof. Rudolf Martn OF Der
of the globe. He has just published book
entitled, From Berlin to Bagdad; The
German World Supremacy IN the coming
Era of Aerial Navigation" in which he
tells how 1t Is to be done. The perusal OF
it ought to afford some satisfaction to the
kaiser, who just now Is fighting hard to
maintain his own supremacy In Germany.
And 1t should afford no little solace to the
thousands of his poorer subjects, who
yearn to exchange a diet of horse flesh and
dog meat for the roast beef of old Eng
land. For. Of course, 1t Is England which
Is to suffer most at the hands Of the Ger
man despoiler.
When airships can travel faster than rail-
way trains now move. Great Britain, the
professor says, will be deprived of the
present strategic advantages of her geo

reduced to comparative insignificance. The
Himalayas will no longer protect India from
land attack. The professor admits that
England and America may build aerial
navies that, ship for ship, may be quite as
good as those of Germany, but they VIII
have no armies fit to cope with Germany's
highly trained legions with which, conveyed
by aerial transports, she will overwhelm
hostile countries.
-.
The narrative Of events which the pro-
lessor relates takes places between 1913
and 1880. Germany adopts an improved
form of the airship invented by Count Yep
pelin, who thus far has merely succeeded
in spending a large fortune In abortive at
tempts to conquer the air. The Zeppelin
airship consists of a cigar-shaped balloon.
with an aluminium deck, and fitted with
powerful motors and steering apparatus. In
the death-dealing perfected form Ii takes In
Prof. Martins book. the balloon has ca
pacity of from 10000 to 100000 cubic
meters, is divided into something like 100
air-tight compartments, carries 600 men on
its aluminium deck, and. among other
weapons Of destruction. IL provided with
400 or 500 aerial torpedoes. The professor
predicts that by 1915 Germany VIII have

that they will cost only. $4,000 each

ABSENTEE IRISH LANDLORD
MOST HATED OF MOBILES
LONDON, January %, 1907.

LONDON, January %, 1907.
- F kingly blood, yet dashed bitterly
by tongues of commoners in open
parliament; of ancestry the most
noble. the Oldest and grandest in
Erin's isle, yet declared the most
hated of Irish landlords. That is the posi-
ton today of the Marquis of Clanricarde.
AS the cables told at the time. William
Duffy, member of parliament for South
Galway, recently brought in a bill in the
house of commons Ito provide for the ex-
preparation of the Marquis of Clanricarde
from his Irish estates" Mr.. Duffy declared
the marquis had been in Ireland but once
In his life-to attend the funeral of his
father. over forty years ago. The marquis,
he said. was a phenomenon; curse to his
country; cold callous and hard-hearted
landlord with a career more distinguished
by misery, wretchedness and bloodiness
than even Oliver Cromwells.
He has evicted by force 1853 families"
went on Lord Clanricarde's accuser. His
estates of 5000 acres in Galway are blight
ed with his wanton cruelty He is the most
hated, the most mathematical of Irish
landlords. The people of his district are
In a state of insurrection bordering on war
and IL Is time for the government to take
action And Mr.. Duffy quoted the former
prime minister. Mr.. Balfour as saying:
the absentee landlord. The only way to deal
with his case is to bring in a bill specifi-
cally to deal with him."
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman, the
prime minister, In a speech which was
punctuated by bursts of cheering from the
entire house of commons, agreed with Mr..
Duffy and the Irish party. He declared
that there was no justification for Lord
Clanricardes actions and attitude. He
strongly condemned the nobleman. But he
regretted that parliament had too much
work on hand to pass such a bill this ses-
sion. The government, however, agreed to
accept the bill for future consideration On
vote being taken, only three members,
all Orangemen from the north of Ireland,
voted in favor of the marquis. The re-
mainder of the house of commons voted
against him.
The ultimate effect of the passing of Will
liam Dufy's bill would be to place the Clam
ricardo estates on, the market, to be sold
to the tenants under the present land law
or to the highest bidder. The money, of
course, would then be handed to the mar
quis, but he would be practically banished
from Ireland and prohibited from holding
any property there.
That would be an extraordinary condem-
nation for a man whose ancestors were
kings of Connaught; whose forefathers
founded the greatest family of Ireland
the Burkes; whose women intermarried
with the kings of Heath, of Thomond Of
Edward Nv Of England. The Clanricarde
