WHAT OF ENGLAND?
When All Nations Equal Her in Pos
session of the High Seas?

What of England, the country
which of all has most to lose and
least to gain? How is she contem-
plating the era when all nations equal
her in possession of the atmospheric
ocean, the higher seas? When the
aerial fleets of the world can pass as
readily as her own not into, but over,
the Cinque ports; over st. Paul's,
and Lombard street, and Bucking-
ham Palace; over Windsor, over Man
chester, and Birmingham, and Shelf
field; over the length of the fairest,
strongest, securest, most historic and
richest of argosied realms, from
Lands End to John o. Groat's-from
her new naval base at Rosyth to the
borders OF the Mersey?
Major F. s. Baden-Powell, late of
the Scotch Guards, summed up the
whole matter, last year, with so
quiet a significance that one would
think there could be no other SUBJ
ject so occupying the mind of his
countrymen. IF in the future all
nations adopt airships for war, much
of our insularity will be gone, and
we must make due preparation.
But in the event Of England's loss
of insularity, what preparation, or
equality of aerial equipment, can
restore to her specific supremacy
like that-with all 1t Includes
which is possessed by her, so long as
sea power is the sovereign power,
and Britannia rules the waves?"
Recalling the past, it is typical to
say the least, that all England is not
at this moment evincing for once
just apprehension; not of defeat in
war or even of violence at alien
hands, but of the falling-in of that
concession of specific immunity which
has been a sound warrant for the
guide conceit of hersel" so little rel
ished by the envious. A like apathy,
however, prevails in other countries
most concerned, in some of which
the people at large express full re-
alization of what is soon to affect
modes of life and international lib
critics and restrictions. The subju-
CATION of the atmosphere has not
come impressively like the steamboat
of Fulton, or the What hath God
wrought" over Morse's wire, but has
crept slowly from the diversion stage
to the utilization of advanced engi-
neering and equipment.
Who can doubt that the actual con-
dition is understood in the chancel-
ries of Europe-it must be that cab
inets and rulers have an inkling of
it, that British statesmen know what
it means, else why are they watching
so intently the efforts made by one
another? England, as usual, is let
ting others pull the chestnuts out of
the fire, ready to profit in imitation
of what others may produce; al
though, even she, at last, has tested,
rather unsuccessfully, dirigible air.
ship of her own.
And yet, il the statesmen of the
great powers really appreciate what
is coming, why do they insist so on
the increase of their navies?-From
Edmund Clarence Stedman's THE
Prince of the Power of the Air." in
the Century.

Biltz worked for Muncie and the
first four innings he was touched up at
a lively rate, especially in the third
when three hits counted in the three
runs made by the Quakers. In only
one inning did Muncie threaten to
count and that was the seventh when
the first three men up Wills, Wolfe
and ellis, singled. Wills met his
death in the foolish attempt of stretch
ing his single into a double, Pierce
throwing him out by ten feet. With
Wolfe and Gillis on the bags Brown
braced. struckout Cap Hall and retired
Burns at first.
The real excitement in the game
came in the third. Clarke led off with
a single, Brown beat out an easy hit
over third base. Shinn tried to adj
vance both men on a sacrifice bunt
but was retired for bunting at third
strike. Cameron then came to bat tic
