LOOKING BEYOND BALLOON.
American Army to Experiment With
AeropIanes.

Washington, Dec. 10.-1he army is
already looking beyond the simple bal
loon, the dirigible balloon and like
contrivances for navigating the air, to
the more scientific aeroplane, and it
was announced today that The chief sig
nal officer will soon call upon American
inventors to submit plans for a practi-
cal machine, heavier than air, to be
used instead of balloon for military
purposes. The terms OF the advance
ments are now under consideration.
The beginning of experimentation in
the use Of seroplanes, it is said, will
not interfere with the War department
plans now in execution for the training
of selected men in the use Of balloons
nor with the projected construction of
at least two dirigible airships.

tinguished, it is said, at noon yester-

three predecessors in the matter Of pa
thetic scenes; hundreds OF women re-
manned near the mines all day, scream
ing and crying until they almost col
lapsed. As on former days, hot coffee
was served at intervals by the company
