him. While in enjoyment of good
health, Mr.. Hazel was a man of

RUSSIAN EDISON To
CONQUER THE AIR

PARIS, May 15.-A new use for
wireless teiegraphy has been sag-
gested by Prof. Bouquet de la Brye
at the Academy of Science. He pro-
posed that the wireless system should
be utilized for enabling vessels at
sea TO find their longitude.
The Ethel tower in Paris can at
present send radio-telegrams TO points
within radius OF 1.200 miles. which
comprises the Mediterranean and a
portion OF the Atlantic IL stand
ard time were signaled from the tow
er all vessels fitted with Marconi ap-
paratus within the radius could fx
their longitude by comparing Paris
time with their own chronometers,
and thus avoid the complicated calcu-
lations which are now necessary.
The professor also suggested that
II Marconi station were established
on the Peak Of Teneriffe. in the Can.
airy islands, which Is about 10000 feet
high. all points OF the globe might be
reached by the wireless time signals
and navigation be thus much simpli-
fed.

SHORTAGE OF OFFICERS
ALARMS BRITISH ARMY

LONDON. May 15.--The shortage OF
officers in the British army has be-
come SO alarming that the command
ing officers propose calling the atten-
ton OF parliament 10 the state OF af
fairs. The cause OF the shortage Is
inadequate pay.
Before British officer enters a regf-
ment his parents must pay at least
fifteen hundred dollars a year for his
training at military college like
Sandhurst OF Woolwich. A second
lieutenant in an infantry regiment re-
ceives only one and half dollars a
day, so that he has TO be kept in
definitely by his parents or guardians
with the result that the latter are
more and more sending their sons into
business.
