Hartman lived to clutch the golden keys
as few men of any age or nation have

represented the ideals or hopes or yearn-

himself In the interests Of others; he never
fought directly and purposefully the fight
Of the people. And thus, with all his gifts,
he could never attain the highest measure

Cauazry of Air Will Play Important
Part in the Warfare of the Future

ticians in both the military and naval
arms are studying the utilization of air
craft in cooperation with land and sea
forces. The studies in this direction
began with the idea that for practical
purposes the airship could be used Tor
observation and reconnaissance only.
The whole problem has widened. The
experiments this summer are not only
in the direction of stable and rapid
flight, but in the arming of aircraft
with light guns for use against other
vessels in the air and in experiments
with the discharge or dropping of ex-
plosives upon docks, warships, fortin-
cations, arsenals or camps. The Ger
man army Siderable craft-the Gross
and the Zeppelin and the privately built
dirigible, the P~arseval--are each cap
able of carrying from one to four tons
of explosives. Ballistic engineers are
at work on the problem of directing
explosives from airships and the
effects of merely dropping them upon
steel surfaces or upon earthworks pro-
tecting artillery.
Theoretically, a ship such as the new
model Zeppelin, with q radius of action
OF 1,426 miles, could rise from its r
Dor in Lake Constance, proceed to any
European port, and during the nigh;
descend close to a Dreadnought ana

Many Minds, with Millions at
Command, Devising Plans for :
Use of Aerial Warcraft.
BY ELMER ROBERTS.

THE active preparations, offensive
/ and defensive, for warfare in the
air by the German general staff is a
certain indication of the conviction
thai air navigation has zone beyond
sport or experiment, and has become
an instrument for the national defense,
upon whose development many minds
are at work and millions planned. h
construction proceeds upon two main
lines-the building of craft for me-
ehanical flight capable of carrying sew
eral tons in men and material, and
the preparation of engines for destroy
ing such craft, says the writer in Col
lier's for September.
The Krupps, whose business is that
of creating instruments of destruction,
are turning out guns of two sorts. one
for hurting burning projectiles a mile
or more through the air, another
for throwing shells perpendicularly or
at an angle. Naval gunners are at
practise firing on captive balloons

A AGAINST
WATER DIVERSION

Company, which is openly proceeding to pipe potable water out
of the State, in disregard of the State law which forbids diver
sion? There is a State Water Supply Commission drawing
salaries, and it is supposed to be the guardian of the waters of
the State. But the commission looks on indiferently, and what
ever doubt there is in the law respecting the diversion of socaled
we'll water, the commission appears to give that benefit to the
water company. The East Jersey Water Company is opposing
the application of Newark for additional watershed, evidently
with the object of appropriating the water rights there when the
opportunity offers, while it's Hudson county subsidiary is insult
ing the State law by it's preparations to pipe New Jersey water
to Staten Island and force it upon the taxpayers there. Would
1t not be proper for the Newark Board of Works to join the Jer-
sey City board in it's proposed action?

JERSEY A GATEWAY
AT BOTH ENDS

New Jersey shore, where it properly belongs. Mayor Reyburn, of
Philadelphia, is not a model official by any means, but he is right in
his opposition to establishing the station in a thickly populated
section of his town, to recreate there the nuisance that New York
was glad enough to get rid of when the immigrant business was
transferred from Castle Garden to Ellis Island, on the Jersey
shore. There is plenty of room and every convenience, without
nuisance, at Gloucester, on the Delaware. If a station is located
there, New Jersey will be a gateway at both its ends to the
American contnsnt for the millions coming from Europe.

If the Legislature shall order a special election on that question

to the popular initiative amendments that "the referendum is
