Tr.ipH.r Aerial Navigators.

The school opened at Chemnitz, Ger
many, on May / is the first OF its kind
Ia Europe, although France has long
bad provision for instruction in aero.
nautica. At ChemnitZ study and prac-
teal training will be confined almost
exclusively to the field Of balloon CON
structiOn and navigation. The director
has engaged In ballooning for the past
twenty-five years and Is credited with
over coo ascents. In view Of the rapid
development in the construction OF
aeroplanes ii Is a question whether the
nond!rigibIe balloon will be In any ex-
tended use ten or twenty years hence.
However that may be, there Is no
doubt that the time is ripe for the
training Of a class of men familiar
with the problems of aerial navigation,
accustomed to traverse the air with
holiness and confidence and meet
promptly and effectively the emergen-
cies and accidents which are incident
to practical aeronautics.
The French are pioneers in aeronaut-
les, but as yet there IL no school in
France for the training Of aeronauts
and constructors having a definite
course Of study. The clubs and the
government provide instruction, the
clubs mainly as an encouragement to
sport and the government as a prepara-
ton for war. The chief institution Of
the government is the arsenal at Cha
lals-Menden, outside Of Paris. which 10
really a combined arsenal and expert
ment station. There Is no specified
course Of study, but the. young men
engaged there take part in official ex-
periments, tests Of new material and
in certain features OF construction un-
der military experts.
France has been alert in aer0nautics
for over 100 years. The government
has always believed in the balloon as
an adjunct In war. Instruction to the
army Is given secretly by her own ex-
perts and the manufacturers Of her fly
Ing machines. One battalion Of en-
glneers is skilled in the handling and
care Of balloons, and its members are
trained for active duty In case of war.
After two years OF service they return
to civil life, but are subject to call for
duty In the military balloon corps in
case of war. Naturally the French
government Is Jealous for its military
ballooning experts and ballooning corps
and not inclined to train outsiders In
this branch. The German school is
open to all students sixteen years of
age who can pay the price, which is
$3.50 for one years instruction. As we
are on the eve of flying machine
craze, 1t may be saving of some
heads II their owners learn the A B C
of the business from fiiers who have
been there.

pected from the North German Lloyd
and Hamburg-American.

Our New York Letter.

That New York is the pulse of
America, particularly in politics,
there is no doubt, Your correspon-
dent has always taken a lively inter-
est from early age in matters of
state, and here observing closely,
studying situations from every
standpoint, it is not difficult to draw
conclusions and report the true state
of affairs.
The indications, Notwithstanding
all the talk and newspaper COM
ment to the contrary, are, that Mr.:
Roosevelt will not be the candidate of
his party next year. If he was there
would be dividend Republican
party as there is now a divided
Democracy. That he could get the
nomination goes without saying, but
he will neither seek it nor accept it.
If Roosevelt was the candidate. while
he would get a big vote from Demo-
Gratis and Independents, he would
lose more than he gained in these
from both, from his own party. Mr..
Roosevelt is too much of a man fo
the people to suit the monied inter-
ests of the country. There are 60
ing to be aspirants and aspirants,
favored sons and favored sons, but
mark the prediction - Chas. E.
Hughes before the convention ad-
journs is going to be the nominee,
with Foraker for vice president.
The Democrats are going to lead a
forlorn hope unless they unite, for
the two wings are too far apart;
united and with new men and old is
sues, with old Democratic ideas or
ideas fashioned after the Roosevelt
tian kind, then hey~will have a
fighting chance.
Every present leader must be rel
egated, not necessarily to the rear,
but anyway to the ranks, giving
place to others, such as Douglass,
Folk and Aycock, up-to-date Demo-
crats.
While the writer knows and names
the Republican ticket, he is not as
yet prepared to forward the Demo
cratic, nor will a prophesy be put
forth until the breaches are healed,
the old leaders retired and the new
ones forced to the front. The beat
ing of the pulse can be felt, watched,
and studied, and it will be easy to
forecast results. ..

The Regulation of Warfare.
While various peace propositions
have been under consideration by COM
mittees of The Hague conference. it
should be understood that no decision
is final until adopted unanimously at
full plenary session Of the conference
Such session was held Sept. I. when
a large number of rules were adopted
relating to the regulation Of warfare.
One of particular interest to the small
er powers was that the territory Of Il
neutral should he 'inviolable and that
such a state may protect its neutrality
by force without committing hostile
act. This principle had already been
recognized in practice, but now be-
comes embodied in international law.
The right of asylum is also defined so
that if q prisoner who has once reach
ed neutral ground should be recap
tured he must be set free. Another
rule follows practice in not permitting
volunteers to be enlisted In neutral
territory or body Of filibusters organ
lied. Belligerents are also forbidden
to esta blish wireless telegraph stations
or other means Of communication In
neutral territory. The expectation OF
provisions from neutral states to bel
ligerent ports is forbidden. Finally
the rule was adopted that hostilities
must not begin without previous un-
eouivocal notice in the form either OF
a declaration Of war, setting forth its
motives, or Of an ultimatum accompa-
MED with a conditional declaration OF
war, and a state Of war must be not-
fed without delay to neutral powers.
Freneh In Morocco Aggressive.
Through the use Of captive balloon
the French forces under General Drude
at Casablanca discovered a Moorish
camp Of 600 tents hidden in the hills
six miles away. With this informa-
ton in his possession, General Drude In
person led force Of six companies IN
an attack upon the Moorish camp. The
Arab commander made gallant de-
fense, but his forces were compelled
to fee, and his camp was burned. 1t
was expected that the French would
continue the advance into the interior.

Hartman Discounts Wall Street.
On his way back from an extended
vacation in the Sierras E. 81. Harri-
man, the railway magnate, was inter-
viewed at Buffalo On the business sit
ua.ion and delivered himself Of the
following optimistic opinion Of Wall
street and the outlook:
"What sort Of a reflector is the
street after all? I'll tell you-it's a
false one. What matters it If stocks
show the upward turn Of point one
day and a downward switch Of two
or five the next? That Is no 1ndica-
ton Of the real wealth Of the country
or of the country's prosperity, and 1T
is no reflection Of actual conditions.
There's no panic coming. We've had
our panic, and now it's going away"
He said further that New Workers
were in the habit of thinking that the
busy men of the country governed all
their movements and plans by Wall
street, but he didn't pay any attention
to it, and the great west was beeom-
ing so enorm ously ri"h that its people
were able to take care Of themselves.
Passenger and freight traffic had been
enormous, crops were big, and facto-

New York's Big Bond Sale.
When the bids were opened by
Comptroller Metz Sept. 10, J. 1t was
found that New York city's $40,00O,OOO
AZ per cent gold bond issue had been
subscribed more than five times over,
the total aggregating $207, ,159, ,420. Two
of the bids were for the entire issue,
one by the Morgan syndicate and the
other by Postage Stamp White, the
man who formerly secured an allot-
ment Of government bonds with only
the stamps necessary to mail his bid to
Washington, raising the necessary
money after the award had been made.
In this case the comptroller was In
clined to doubt the expediency Of
awarding any bonds to White because
bis check for the per cent deposit OF
100000 was drawn on banking
house the status Of which was not
known. To test this the check was
sent out for immediate collection, and
when it was returned unpaid the entire
White bid was thrown out. The sale
will net 102 or thereabouts.
