GERMAN BALCONISTS
FAIL WHEN Wind IS BLOWING
TOO HARD.
Investigators Are Now GUESSING
Which Direction to Pursue Their
Experiments = Steering Problem
Solved But Contrary Currents Of
Air Raises an Issue.

Berlin, Oct. 8.-The science ot
aerial navigation-at least in GERMANY
has reached a point where manv oe
the most prominent Investigators are
asking themselves in which direction
they shall pursue their experiments
The problem of steering is satisfactn-
rily solved, but there remains the i'm
portant question of the conquest Of
the contrary currents of the air and
this raises the issue between the adj
vocates of Fighter than the air" and
Heavier than the air."
Balloons inflated with gas are gen.
orally regarded here as having nearly
if not quite, attained the final stage of
their possibilities, which, as is con-
tended, although marvellous in com
parison with the position of only five
years ago, still leaves much to be
achieved before the air can be said to
be mastered.
All three systems-the rigid. the
semi-rigid and the flexible, represent
ing, respectively, the Siderable bal
loon of Count Zeppelin, the German
aeronaut; the military balloon and
that of Major Won Parseval-have.
been, and still are being, tested. All
have given evidence of the fact that
in light winds and otherwise favorable
weather they may be steered and man.
euvered with great facility. Not one
of them, however, has on any occa-
sion ventured into the air when a
strong wind was blowing, for the
good reason that their steersman are
aware that their weak motive power
would not permit progression.
The greatest speed attained by any
of them-and this applies also to
French balloons-has not exceeded in
round figures 2S miles an hour. and
at that rate in such a wind they
would be driven backward. Even the
Zeppelin, which is credited with a
speed of SO or "a miles an hour.
would do little more than hold its
own.
AS to form, the cigar shape main
tains its favor, but the manner of con-
struction, on which, it is argued. de-
Ponds the capacity of the balloon to
remain in the air, is varied. In Yep
pelin's balloon the envelope is of metal
covered with silk and rubber, the ends
and the upper portion being of Or
binary balloon material, while Parse
yals balloon is entirely composed of
flexible material similar to that used
in spherical balloons.

WARN AGAINST FOREST WASTE

Following an exhaustive investiga-
ton throughout the west, the geologi
cal survey has issued a warning
against the ''prcdigious waste Of nat
ural resources"
The alarming statement is made
that the better part of the countrys
fuel supply will be gone by the end
OF the century unless steps are taken
toward conservation.
1t is declared that in mining nearly
one-half the total coal supply IS left
on the ground and that water is
wasted to the extent of millions of
horsepower.

Well informed persons in Toxic

be permitted to die down, both sides

CANADA IS OPPOSED
To HAVING SOAMANY JAPS
FLOCK In THERE.
Such Is the Report of a Prominent
Frenchman who Is Making a Study
of American Social and Economic
conditions-He Praises the People
of the Northwest.

Chicago, Oct. Sable Felix Kline,
prominent member of the clerical
element in France, who is making a
study of American social and eco
nomic conditions, has returned from
an extensive tour of the west, Able
Kline said:
Il was much impressed while on the
Pacific coast with the anti-Japanese
feeling existing at Vancouver and
throughout British Columbia, which is
far more intense than the feeling on
the American side of the border. At
San Francisco the anti-Japanese ele-
ment is comparatively small and one
hears little of the active agitation
against the Japanese.
ION the other hand, visited Van
couver shortly after the anti-Japanese
riots, meeting the Japanese quarters.
Everywhere there was evidence Of hos
tile intention. The people have taken
up the shibboleth of Canada for the
Canadians, and they feel that the
exclusion of the yellow race is essen
tial for their self-preservation. They
are very determined in this feeling,
and are pressing their view on the
civil authorities at Ottawa and Lon
don

More Acute in Canada.

"This branch of the Japanese ques-
ton is really of much Importance to
the United States, as Japan can hardly
expect more from the United States
than she expects of Canada, where
the situation to the Japanese is far
more acute"
Speaking of the people in the west,
Able Kline says that he was struck
by the fact that they look upon the
east as a sort of foreign country, much
as the people of the Atlantic states
look upon Europe. They are making
great strides forward, principally the
region about Puget sound, which, in
Hay, loose-Timothy up to $25;
the judgment of this foreign observer,
is to be the field of Americas greatest
future development.

Dlssipates Fear of War.

Before coming to America I shared
the views Of a considerable element in
France and throughout Europe that
the Japanese question might lead the
United States into war. But personal
observation throughout the middle
west and far west has completely
changed my views. The people of the
west are not thinking Of such a thing
and scout the very idea of war. Even
in San Francisco, which is supposed
in Europe to be the center of anti
Japanese hostility, there was much
less telling than l found to exist in
the British colonies to the north. 1t is
quite evident, also, in Witnessing the
splendid development of the Pacific
coast, that war would be little short
of criminal, alike disastrous to Japan
and the United States, neither of whom
has anything to gain by such re-
course to barbarism.

as this is the home game of the year coaches and
players bending every effort to snatch VIC

confidence the brigade of midshipmen places in Its

eleven did not work so well together in the
Wesleyan game, and the forward pass proved a
dismal failure at times. as the Bucknell players
found II rather easy to solve. Pennsylvania beat
Bucknell % to on the previous Saturday, while
the Tigers up the score to % to o. In spite
of this a Bucknell player said after the game
that in his opinion Pennsylvania was stronger
than Princeton. This opinion will not be gen
orally accepted, however, by those who have
seen both teams play. There seems to be more
power behind the Princeton attack and fewer
errors of omission well of commission In
solving an opponents play and breaking it up
The Tigers have much to learn. but they seem
to realize this, and working with the single
purpose Of developing a team TO beat Yale.
Joshua Crane, jr, the Harvard coach. does not
lack initiative, and is determined TO try out his
men 20 the full before settling on a lineup. II
took some courage to move Burr from guard to
tackle and Captain Parker from centre to guard
but the change has strengthened the left side
of the line, where II needed bracing up. In the
Williams game Saturday the team played
better football than the score would Indicate
and this in face of the fact that some Of the
strongest men were out of the play on account
of minor injuries. When Harvard gets past the
experimental stage there Is every reason to be-
lieve that strong, we'll balanced team will take
