AlRSHIPS FOR U. s. ARMY

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 ''T-he air is like the ocean. This is the differences Instead of currents of water there are endless spirals and whrlpools of wind. They move Tn every direction, often at the same time. l have learned to ride them as ship does the waves of sea-.
 The remark was made by A. M. Her ring of New York, one of the successful bidders for the new war airships of the government, and regarded by aeronauts as one of the best authorities in the country on aerial navigation and heavier than-air flying machines, surrounded by models of his aeroplanes in his work ship on an upper floor of an office build ing in Lincoln Square. MT. Herring was chatting of the present state of aerial navigation and the missing link in the khain of complete success in human flight.
 Between the currents of the. sea and air. though he continued, there are many other differences. The air spirals may move now in one direction, now in another. Some of the whrlpools in the air are larger and more violent than those of Niagara Rapids. l have found them as much as 80 feet in diameter. 
 Unless one can ride them in an airship as a vessel does the waves of sea the flying machine will rock and sway or plunge wildly downward or upward with the spirals.'
 DirqibIe and Aeroplane.
 Therein lay a key to aerial navigation. as MT Herrings subsequent remarks made clear. But here. too, 1t was neces- sary to make the distinction in airships- a distinction that is familiar but often misunderstood.
 It is that between the dirigible bal loon. or the lighter-than-ai machine and the aeroplane. or flying machine. The ligliter-than- type is the bag filled with hvdropen gas. with devices for propellng and steering it. usually on platform beneath To this class the runaway French war airship La Patrle and Santos -Dumont's earlier successful mod els belonged.

Of right thinking men of all the ages yet to come
 Our government is divided into three separate and distinct coordinate branches: the legislative. the executive and the judicial Danger will surely come to this republic when any of these departments of government at tempt in the slightest degree to usurp tne functions of the other. and while now and then it may be that a court of the land, in construing the constitu- uon, may nullify section of it, l have the faith to feel that the people of the country will rise above the fallibility Of judicial tribunals and assert and preserve their own rights. Our duty IS not 10 eriticise the executive, the leg is'ature or the judiciary. Our duty is to recognize the majesty of the law when enacted by the legislature; to abide by and with the honest execution and administration of the laws when so enacted, and to respect. even though wrong, the opinions of the courts of the land. because when respect for these institutions is gone then the very framework of our government is bound 10 crumble and decay. But haven't We thus given our acquieNence to the voice of authority, if in the opinion Of the people the action taken is one which should not be exercised by that particular department? It is our in- alienable right to so further limit it's power as to prevent the recurrence of the error.

dirigible airship which have just been ap- proved by the government.
 The other type, the aeroplane, has no gas bag. It is sustained by winglilc planes, propelled by motors, and steered by men upon or under it. To this class belong Mr Heiring's inventions. and also all the airships in the government conn petition. The principles of air whirlpools and spirals described by MT. Herring ap- ply to both
 Difficulty in Control.
 ''The great difficulty has been,' he said, to keep control of the airship, maintain sits equilibrium and prevent 1t from rock ing or piunging while passing through the spifals of air
 Certain general principles apply to the whrlpools. They are so numerous and complex that inventors cannot go much further. The angles and variations in wind resistance strike the airship so quickly that they outstrp the flash of hu- man intelligence. The aeronaut may an- ticipate the resistance at one point, but it strikes his airship at another before he can provide for 1t.
 "The airship rocks or plunges. The power of the motor and therefore the speed of the car are retarded It is to the solution of this riddle that inventors are giving their thought. They must find means to ride through the air whirlpools like the ship at sea. That means control and speed. Do you realize what 1t means to add five knots an hour to the speed of flying machne?'
 This brought the conversation around b Mir. Herring inventions and the govern- ment bids for airships The details of the aeronaut's plans are guarded as in- t,io1 Even the DlanS of the three successful bidders for the govern ment aeroplanes are considered as con fdential. The models in Mir. Herring s workshop, however. gave a general plan of the flying machine as the best in- ventors see it.

Economic Club.
Native and the White Man in the Far

lecture last night by Mr.. Alleyne Ireland
before the Washington Economic Society
at the Cosmos Club.
For the last seven years Mr. Ireland
has been engaged in the preparation of a
report on colonial administration in the
far east" He spent three years in the far
east. making personal Investigations for
this work
You can make a good Filipino out of
a bad Filipino or good Bengalee out Of
a bad Bengalee. but YOU will never be
able to make either Filipino or a Benga-
lee into anything that any one will ever
mistake for a man from Kansas City,"
said Mr.. Ireland.
1t is remarkable he continued. that
In all the recent discussions of Asiatic af-
fairs the important fact has been lost
sight of that the real dividing lines OF
east are not those based on the tradi-
tional idea of east is east and west is
west, but upon the idea of north is
north and south is south
Confusion has arisen in the public
mind because of the fact that it is COM
mon to lump together as colored races
the Chinese. the Malays. the japanese.
the Fflipinos. and the Cinghalese, ire
spective of any consideration other than
that these people have not white skins.
1t is the commonest thing to find people
trying to express the future of the Fill
pinos in terms of japanese achievement
but the vital element OF the situation is
overlooked, namely. that the Japanese
have in the course of ages gone through
climatic discipline similar to that ex-
perienced by Europe and North America,
whereas the Filipinos have fallen under
those soft but degenerating influences
which prevail in every country in which
the banana will grow outside Of a hot
house."
