Poor Service Under State Control.

In Italy the results of the state rail
road operation are thus far notorious
ly bad The operation results, OF
course, in an annual deficit, and al
though the traffic constantly increases,
the receipts constantly diminish. Dur
ing a recent months operation, out of
1000 passenger trains 1856 were an
hour or more late, and there is con-
slant and bitter complaint both from
shippers and passengers as to the un-
satisfactory character of the service.

High Freight Rates.

Shippers in the United States who
are growing about freight rates may
take comfort from the fact that a ship
per in Sac Paulo. Brazil. has just paid
freight amounting to $197.4O on $50
sacks Of potatoes or about $1.32 a bag
for haul Of 800 miles between the
two principal cities of Brazil-a haul,
which corresponds to one from New
York to Boston This rate is not ex.
ceptional, though perhaps higher than

State Ownership Not a Success

In Japan state railroad ownership
has proved SO disastrous to the
finances OF the country that the gov
eminent is now looking to a syndicate
OF foreign capitalists to help it out.
The statement is made that govern.
ment ownership there has imperiled
the national finances, prevented rail.

The Airship In War.

Defense in warfare usually keeps
pace with the attack, and already spe
cial artillery is being designed to cope
with the airship peril. At the worst
an airship could only carry out al
annoying exploit. The risk. however,
is great enough to make it advisable
that the next Hague conference should
turn its attention to this subject. Man
kind may, perhaps, discover solidarity
enough to decide that the last of its
great discoveries shall be innocent.

keeping close to his residence and with

News Of the defeat of the Zelayan
army at Rama has been carefully

won the battle araund Rama, and are
soon to turn their guns In the direc-

The present Government is In no
condition to oppose the advance of
General Estrada's army. President
Madriz has behind him a strong po-
liticai force. but few lighting men. and
no preparations have been made to re-
pei an attack.
General vasouez is now here on sick
leave. Only few days ago he was
at Rama. but left his forces under
