TAFT'S NEXT TRIPS.
Figuring Already on Visits to
Panama and Alaska.
TO GO TO ISTHMUS ANNUALLY
Has Announced His Purpose of Seeing
For Himself Each Twelvemonth
Progress on Canal-His Ideas on
Alaska Combated.

Although President Tafts present
completion. plans are already being
made for his next two trips. which
will take him from Washington to
Panama and Alaska. 1t is reported
that the president is figuring ON a run
down to the isthmus of Panama and
back during the three weeks of the
president is making plans, too, for
trip to Alaska next summer.
The trip to Panama will depend al
together on Mrs. Taft's health. Re
ports from Beverly of her steady i'm
provement have delighted the presi-
dent, and he is looking forward to the
sea voyage to the isthmus with her.
The president intended to have Mrs.
Taft accompany him on his present
western trip, but her health would not
permit
When the president visited Panama
last spring he announced that it would
be his policy to make trip TO the 18TH
mus once a year. He added that he
wanted first hand information on the
progress of events there and that he
believed a visit by the president to
have a most wholesome effect upon
the canals working force.
Included Alaska In Present Tour.
The president had originally included
Alaska in his present jaunt, but the
late adjournment of congress forced
him to cut it out. The president wish
es to see the territory with his own
eyes before recommending the legisla-
ton that he has proposed in regard to
its government. ..
Next to the presidents tariff speech
his Alaska program has probably
aroused the most antagonism of any
thing said on his trip. A lot of people
in the Pacific coast states have bust
ness interests in Alaska, and many
more have relatives who have settled
in that country.
The latter are ruffled at the presi-
dents Characterization of Alaska's pop
ulation as nomadic and unfit for self
government. They argue that the min
ing town populations in Alaska are no
more lacking in the qualifications nee
essary for self government than were
the miners of California and other
mineral sections of the west that have
developed into great commonwealths.
Opposed to the President.
The Pacific coast people who are op-
posed to the presidents proposed gov,
ernment by commission in Alaska say
that is the form which the wealthy
men of the territory want. They want
the commission because it will mean Il
less number of persons with whom
they will have to deal in getting sat,
| isfactory legislation
The Pacific coast people add that all
of the common people of Alaska. on
| the other hand, are demanding self
government.

MAN WHO TAUGHT WEIGHTS.
Wilbur Gives Credit For Interest In
Flying Machine to Octave Chanute.

Wilbur Gives Credit For Interest In
Flying Machine to Octave cnanute.
Speaking in New York of his first at
tempts to fly, Wilbur Wright declared
that his interest in aeroplanes and
that of his brother was first aroused
by Octave Chanute's book on aerial
navigation.
"When my brother Orville and be-
gan working on aeroplanes We simply
wanted to get something that would
stay in the air. We started with con-
trivances like box kites. 'Gliders' we
called them. We gided with them,
and then we installed engines. and
they actually stayed in the air. After
that the machines which are called
Wright aeroplanes were finished.
My brother and l were in the bicy-
Gle business in Dayton when we be-
came interested in kites. We expert
mented with them. Then we got hold
of Octave Chanute's book on aerial
navigation. We read it with great in
terest. After more studying we built
gliding machines. During all of this
time we were in the bicycle business.
We did not have much money, but all
we had was put into our aerial exper-
iments.
I'VE knew a great deal about mo-
tors, and with this knowledge we were
able to install into our gliders motors
that were able to keep us in the air.
That was the way we came to invent
aeroplanes. 1 have never studied di-
rigible balloons. l don't suppose l
know the first thing about them"

Both Aviati eo: Aaronautic Contests
Win Be r.-Id Here Next Year.
In winning the fourth international
balloon race, after the victory Of Glenn
II. Curtiss at Rheims, Edgar w. Mix
brings the cup to this country for the
second time and gives to the United
States next year both the aviation and
aeronautic contests.
The first international balloon con-
test. which started from Paris Sept
30, 1906. was won by an American
Lieutenant Frank p. Lahm. who had
as his. aid Major Henry B. Hersey.
The contest for 1907 was held in st.
Louis and was won by Oscar Erbsloh
of Germany in the balloon Pommern.
His balloon landed within a few yards
of the Atlantic ocean, on the New Jer-
sey coast. and less than one mile from
that spot landed the balloon Lille de
France, with NJ. Alfred Leblanc pilot
and Mr.. Mix as his aid
In that trip Il new worlds duration
record of forty-four hours was estab-
hshed and stood until broken the fol-
lowing year by Colonel SchaecE. who
remained in the air seventy-three
hours in his trip from Berlin to the
coast Of Norway, where he landed in
the sea.
Mr.. Mix, while an American citizen,
has spent many years in Paris. where
he is engaged in business. He is 4
member both Of the Aero Club of
France and the Aero Club of America
and has represented both countries in
the international contests. He was
born and reared in Ohio. and during
the race from st. Louis in 1907 his
balloon passed over his native place
Just after sunrise on the morning fOct.

MADE NEW YORK SMILE.
Historic German "Goose Stop" of Much
Interest In Sig Parade.

EtISIorlC SSrf1an ''SOOSG StCP OF hiuSH
interest In Sig Parade.
In parading past the grand stand in
the big Hudson-Fu!ton military parade
in New York the sailors from the Ger
man ships used the historic goose
step" bringing smiles to the faces OF
those who had never seen German ma
val and military men march.
The step, Which is used only on the
most special of occasions and which is
considered as the greatest honor that
can be paid by the Germans to any
one, is very fatiguing. 1t is impos ible
for the men to keep it up for more
than Il hundred steps or so. Much has
been written about the goose sep"
yet few know what it is. 1t con lists
of Strengthening of the body, kec ling
the knees rigid and striking down With
all the weight of the body on the toe
which is drawn rapidly back in Il tarky
fashion. Eyes are kept to the front,
and the arms are held stifly at the
sides.
The result of this is a striking effect.
The noise of thousand men thus
stepping is like that of a troo1 of
elephants. Owing to the strain OF the
men. it is never started until they are
within fifty PAGES of the one to be hon
ored and is dropped when they are
fifty PAGES past the spot. 1t looks
queer to the uninitiated.
The "goose step" is known tC the
Germans as the ''Paradeschritt.' 1t

FIELD OF FUTURE
WARFARE IN AIR.
Army Officer Discusses Posi-
biIities of Aeroplane.
COULD DESTROY A NATION.
BY Dropping lncendisry Mixture Fly
ing Machine Could Duplicate San
Francisco Fire After Circling Two or
Three Times Above a City.

Believing firmly that the field of fu-
ture war operations will be at least
partly in the air, the heads of the
United States army are looking into
the matter of trying out the aeroplane
as an offensive weapon. According to
Major George O. Squier. president of
the army aeronautical board, the aero
plane ut the present rate of construc-
tion and art of manipulation will be
capable of flying ut the rate of 100
miles an hour within two years. Lieu
tenant Foulois. who accompanied Or
vile Wright in his five mile straight
away dash from Fort Myer to Alex
andria, Va. and return. says that at
one time the aeroplane was 500 feet
in the air.
Since that fight Orville Wright has
attained height of 1900 feet in Ger
many.n Foulois declares that Wright
could have flown four times as high as
lie did ut Fort Myer if he had cared
to do SO. t
Dropping Explosives From the Air.
1t was suggested to Major Squier
that with the improved capacity of the
Wright machine to soar in the air,
practically at the will of the aviator,
the aeroplanes may be made to carry
explosives for offensive purposes, to
be dropped on cities or warships.
1T will hardly be explosives" said
Major Squier, that will constitute the
really dangerous weapon of the aero
plane. 1t will use what we term in
cendiary mixtures compositions con,
tanning phosphorus and other chemic
ais which ignite readily on contact
with the air. Destruction by fire rath
er THAN by explosion will be tile real
war work of the flying machines.
really believe that in two years or per
/ haps q little longer we will have aero
I planes that eau fly at-the rate of ,10(
miles per hour, and the dirigibles will
probably be making seventy or seven

An aeroplane armed with hundred

! cendiary mixtures could duplicate the
San Francisco fire by circling two oil
! three times around Il city. The de
! struction which they could wreak at q

aeroplane, would surpass that of q
