The. announcement will cause almost
as great a sensation among friends OF

TRYING TO find AIRSHIPS THAT
BROKE AWAY FROM FRENCH SOLDIERS
By THE JOURNALS Special wIro.

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire
PARIS. Dec. 2.-An Europe is sky
gazing trying to get a glimpse Of the
runaway airship La Patrle, which
broke away from two hundred soldiers
yesterday after it dragged them 15O
yards.
The government authorities are get
ting dozens Of messages concerning the
runaway airship, but no definite news
.of the missing crafts whereabouts.
The stories that the big air vessel
passed over Wales and later over Bel
fast travelling north. are taken with
some doubt, as being somewhat too
circumstantial to indicate much accu-
racy. The statement that three men
were seen clinging to the airship seen
from the Welsh cities is certainly in
accurate if the dirigible was La Patrie,
which had no one aboard when the
wind tore II from the soldiers who
were holding it at Verdun yesterday.
The authorities hope. the ship viii
rise high enough to be blown TO pieces
in the rarihed upper atmosphere or
sink in the ocean, deeming its loss bet
ter than its descent in a foreign coun-
try, where the secrets Of it's construc-
ton must be revealed.

desire Of educated japanese to ascend
from the grossly material civilization
of that country

10 Annual Report Urges the
Enforcement Of All
Existing Laws
NO GENERAL CHANGE OF
THE ACT RECOMMENDED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-The tone OF
Attorney General Bonaparte's annual
report submitted to Congress to-day
is temp 'el to suit "The shorn lamb"
He says he refrains from any recon-
mendations or suggestions as to
changes Of substance in the antitrust
and Interstate commerce laws, "be-
cause these would involve consider
alton of questions of general policy ly-
ing beyond the Appropriate field of pub
lie duty of this department" Because
he believes Its legitimate function is
to secure the effect and partial en-
forcement Of all existing laws" How
ever, he urges the enactment Of
statutes compelling the attendance Of
. witnesses in civil cases. empowering
courts Of equity to authorize the taxi
ing of testimony before several ex-
amin simultaneously and in different
districts, and to specify the circum-
stances under which receivers may
take charge Of Bad Trusts"
He oDints out that the latter legis-
lation is desired rather with a view
to removing opportunities for miscon-
struction and possible misrepresenta-
tion Of the purpose ana scope of such
relief than because I think there is
any probability Of unfortunate conse-
quences from the granting of such
prayers by the court
Wants a Fair Field.
He wants a fair field and no favor
in the prosecution of unlawful corpora
tions. He believes that general look
ing to the more prompt and effectual
enforcement of the statutes mentioned
viii prevent great corporations, clust-
ers Of corporations and Of individuals
engaged in immense combinations and
enterprises from blocking a decision
by the court of last resort through the
enormous delay expense and trouble
involved in furnishing legal proof Of
facts in themselves perfectly motor
ious. and which are merely formally
denied to compel the production OF
such proof
He further recommends that the law
be so amended that bench warrants Of
and United States court be effective
anywhere within the United states.
Change in Official Name.
He wants the title Of Assistant At
torney- General changed and that Of
the Assistant General. who has been
dubbed trust buster" to be made
"chief counsel" The junior members
of the legal staff he would have named
solicitors" He would also have
created the office of Assistant Secre-
tary of Justice. who should have
charge of the of the administration
and routine matters Of The department
He recommeza an increase Of $1,50O IN
the salary Of Solicitor General and
81 00SO0 for each Assistant Attorney

zation of "a small. carefully selected
