AIRSHTPS AND WAR.

The accounts concerning the expe~'l
ments in aeronautics by Henri Farman
OF New York, are very enthusiastic.
His flying machine weighs LOO, and
carries man Weighing 100 pounds. and
yet 1t leaves the earth and shoots
through space with astounding speed.
The aeroplane, the dispatches say,
rose from the ground like a giant bird
and darted through the air at express
train speed. 1t rose from an especial
ly prepared dock at the will of the
inventor, and after attaining height
of twenty-five feet, few straight ahead
on direct line. finally alighting with
exquisite grace when the air pilot di-
unfinished the motive power. During
the brief space of time In which the
oeropane was skimming over the CEN
ter field of the race course. the few
hundred spectators, most of whom were
friends of the inventor or rival olivia
tors watched the flight with breathless
interest The landing provoked cheers
as vociferous as those of race-track
crowd"
AZ the development of air fight pro-
cceds. speculation becomes rife as to
the possibilities of airships In the ser
vice of militarism. The British are es-
pecially anxious for the safety of the
Islands, in the future. One forecaster
says;
=" Navies battling in the aerial blue"
are no longer the mere dream of n poet,
but more than possible fact which may
ensily spell unreasonable disaster to
this country IL we delay any longer
to rouse ourselves to face 1t. The world
cannot afford to neglect the new and
appalling possibilities which the eX-
reriments In both France and Germany
have opened out
Tho London Times, too. gives express
sion TO it's fears, In this way;
THE renl gravity of the situation
has not seized either the public mind
or that of the authorities. much less
the government Of the country"
1t is not probable that airships in the
service Of the god of war will DO
come menace to any country in the
Immediate future. But if they should
ever be perfected to such a degree that
they can be used as engines OF destruc-
tion, and not merely as points for OBJ
servatlon. war would become so hor-
rible as TO appeal to humanity for
abolition. The peace sentiment would
grow with the horrors of conflict.

NATIONAL EXTRAvAGANCE.

A deficit Of $40 900, 900 for 1908 is
likely to be the result Of the financial
expenditures of the last session Of the
United States Congress The appro-
priations for next year reached ST.
00S, 900. O0O--an increase of 40 per
cent in expenditures since 1903 Mean
time, the population has increased
twelve per cent.
According to Senator Culberson the
expenditures for the last six years ex-
coed those for the six years from 1893
to 1895 by $4I6.O0o, 600 for the army
or over 137 per cent, and by S42S,-
00O,O for the navy. or almost 986
per cent In six years the country
has expended about one and one-thlrd
billions OF dollars on the military and
naval establishments,
In our judgment too much money is
already devoted to war engines,
we think Il worse than useless
TO put this country upon a war
footing No European country seeks
TO attack us Al Judge story said,
The Atlantic rolls between us and
any formidable foe"
Many will reply that new enemy
has arisen ON the Pacific side, and
that we need a navy at least as large
as that Of Japan, not for purposes of
aggression, but merely for defense
against attack from that quarter no
some extent this procauton may be
necessary, but the financial condition
OF Japan at the present tlmo renders
warllke aggression on nor part most
unlikely

the Japanese shipping subsidies and

interests But Consul Hunter sharp

"Just as Norway was omitted from
the Baltic Agreement. so Belgium is

similar reasons. Belgium was PEI
manently mediatized in 1881 under
the guarantee of France, Prussia, Aus
tria, Russia and Great Britain. A
great deal has happened since then.

lied as base by Il first-class naval

platform contain plank declaring for

added
His tDuhoisl extreme hatred OF tho
