AN AERIAL NAVY
MAY COME NEXT

London, Aug. 23.-Major Baden. Pow
ell the English expert on aerial navi-
cation, believes the question of air
warships is a grave and important
one.
Il believe there will be time" he
says, mot very far off either-say
ten years hence-when we shall have
an aerial navy. Surprising that all
nations have airships. Are they to be
allowed to go over one anothers coun-
tries photographing strategical posi-.
tons in times of peace? don't see
how you can prevent them. 1t is i'm
possible to fire at them, for as field
guns are made at present they have
not got the elevation"
Now that war in the air is threaten
ed by the advances. made in aerial
navigation the question of observing
frontiers high up in the atmosphere
must undoubtedly soon be solved.
Germany has become deeply interested
In the matter. owing to the recent sue
cessful flight Of her new aerial war
ship. The Germans propose that the
government alone shall possess the
right to build, own and use airships ex.
cept in cases in which a special Ii.
cense has been issued. All use of pri
vate balloons, it. is further proposed
shall be forbidden in the war, and IL
is suggested that an international
agreement be concluded providing
that where Notifications are situated
on fontiers dirigible balloons are not
to approach within radius of ten
miles.

Madison, Aug. %.

Madison, Aug. 70.
The Valyoline Oil company, head
quarters of which are in Madison. Is
making another fight on the methods
of the railroad companies favoring
the Standard Oil trust against the in
dependent dealers. The Valyoline
company, through its attorney, Harry
Potter, alleges that the railroads re-
! fuse to grant the right of stoppage
, in transit for oil shipped in barrels
in carload lots, while this privilege
Is accorded to other commodities.
and it is further alleged that this
situation is designed for the benefit
of the Standard Oil company and Is
discriminatory against the independ-
ent oil companies. These allegations
are the basis of complaint fled by
the Valyoline company with the rail-
road rate commission. The defend
ant roads are the Northwestern. the

In various cities scattered all over
the state. Its shipments are made in
barrels, whereas the Standard Oil
company makes its shipments in tanks
Z from its refinery at Whiting, Indiana
near Chicago, depositing the oil in
storage tanks around the state and
distributing to the local customers by
means of wagons. Thus the Standard
gets the advantage of the low carload
rates on its freight shipments of oil
The Valvoline company alleges that
the rates on oil shipped in barrels are
very high in comparison with the
rates on carload shipments in tanks
and because its customers are able
only to buy less than carload lots
OF barreled oil the Standard gets
very low rates to the local storage

she was persuaded by him to come to

necessary for her to look over the
