Langley: e
y "We may at least see,' said he,
that the application of practical
flying machines to the art of war
may be such as to change the whole
conditions of warfare; when each
of two opposing hosts will have its
every movement known to the
other, when no lines of fertilization
will keep out the foe, and when the
difficulties of defending q country
against an attacking enemy in the
air will be such that we may hope
that this will hasten rather than
retari the coming of, the day when
war shall cease"
And as to size and speed, it is
by no means certain what the flu
ture airship may develop. The dy-
namics of the air are quite I'M

HOLD GIRL TO MAKE

dramatically complained that Rob-
ert Crenshaw, a bartender, had
forced her to lead life of shame,
was arrested yesterday by order
of Judge Huneke, who put her un.
der a $500 bond when she failed to
put it up was held in the female
ward of the county Jail. The po-
lice believe that she intends to
leave the city and not appear
against Crenshaw. This belief
was caused by information she and
Crenshaw, who is at liberty on
bond, stayed at Mrs. Bonds house
on Indiana av Thursday night. The
police are investigating. Mrs. Bond
denies that the two stayed there
together.

Special Correspondence to The Press
SEATTLE, May 30.-When the
Atlantic battleship fleet came to Sc
attic the city saw the spectacle of
a giddy S5-year-old girl, everitable
Barbara Frietchie in patriotism,
running away from home and
grown children to see the ships and
the big land parade of sailors. Her
grown daughter, on account of the
mothers feebleness, opposed the
old ladys plans to see the fleet, as
the family lives in one OF the city's
suburbs.
When Mrs. Sarah Nickerson
heard of the edict of her daughter
she did not protest; she seemed to
acquisce to the inevitable. But
she asked to visit a friend nearby,
an elderly woman, though not as
old as herself. Mrs. Nickerson re-
counted the days of the civil war,
told her sympathetic companion of
the killing of her young husband in
the Battle of the Wilderness, of
her duties as self appointed nurse
in the hospitals of Alexandria, and
of the lonely years-almOst half a
century-that followed.
The two old ladies decided that
they must see the fleet. They stole
away to the city,. AMI engaged a
room at a hotel on the line of
march, so that they could see the
battleships enter the harbor, and
out of which they might watch the
bluejackets and marines in their
parade 1880 strong. Then they
returned home and were overheard
ddiscussing plans for the great day.

THROUGHOUT the recital Brsco remained keenly

of soothing repose with word to say until the

"Ah You were a bit masterful, doubt.
