FRANCES AIRSHIP FLEET.
War Department TO Develop the Aero
plane Service.

Paris Dec. The relative practicability
OF dirigfble balloons and aeroplanes as war
units in the future is the theme OF intense
discussion, following a letter from Baron
q EstoUruelles de Constant, Senator and
president Of the Parliamentary group IA
voring international arbitration, TO Cen
eral Brun. Minister Of War. calling atten-
ton 10 the fact that France is far behind
other countries in the development OF mill
tary aeronautics.
The Senator's warning has been taken
I'D by the National Aerial League. which
has pointed out TO the Aerostatic Com
mission OF the Chamber the pitiful posi-
ton OF France as compared with Germany
Frances solitary Vile de Paris contrast
ing markedly with Germany's ten dirigible
balloons. The commission agreed that II
was urgent that the government prepare a
complete programme for the construction
OF dirigibles and aeroplanes.
The Minister Of War has outlined 10 the
Cabinet his tentative plans. and in so doing
said that the dirigibles would be augmented
so that In 1911 France would have "a sat
isfactory feet" and that French engineers
and constructors were now busy modelling
and building aeroplanes. II is the inten-
ton also 10 establish a school for pilots
as well as provide a practice course be-
tween Nice and MarseiIles.
II is understood that the War Depart
rnent is convinced that the aeroplane will
be the more serviceabe unit in the future
and expects 20 strengthen the army in that
direction. rather than in dlrigible balloons.

ing, and officials OF other Eastern railroads,
held conference yesterday IN the Central
Building. No. I43 Liberty street The con-
ference was to be on general railroad mat
ters, but the expected demands OF the

Mr.. Baer went TO Philadelphia after the
conference.
William II. Truesdale. president OF the
Delaware. Lackawanna & Western. who
attended the conference. said:
u have refrained from talking on this
subject all along because there is nothing
yet to say about IT, We have received no
demands
In reply TO a question 10 whether he
thought there would be trouble IN Trues-
dale, he said;
All can say is. that there should not
be any trouble"
James Murdoch, fifth vice-president Of
the Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen.
who came here yesterday. said:
I'VE have not even formulated demands
yet. and the talk OF strike is perfectly
absurd. We do not and never contemplated
a strike. and there will be no strike II Is
true that we have community OF interests
with the conductors. and the conductors
and trainmen act together when anything
is TO be done. The ranks Of the conductors
are largely recruited from the trainmen.
1T is doubtful now II We make any re-
quest for higher wages before the new
year. but We have had feeling for long
time that the trainmen should have their
wages raised TO the Chicago standard Be
that as il may. wish to say emphatically
that there will be no strike"
