Poohi He brushed that aside as he
would a gossamer. He was thinking
of laws as insistent as those which
keep the universe together. 1t was not
the will of Germany, it was not the
agitation of jingo party 1t was the
cosnic mind which had brought the
German Navy league into existence.
National pride entered into race, no
man could say how. Then again,
geography was very unfortunate for
Germany Its commerce could not go
out of its own door without passing
the windows of England. That was
troublesome and compelled Germany
to build a navy that would be useful
in making war difficult-to put it po-
litely.
many's navy was necessary for her
European and world politics. 1t was
not building against England. That
was too mean an idea for cosmic
theory. Germany was simply measur-
ing lis needs, and was developing
steadily. as it was compelled by nature
to do. So with theidea that Germany
was speeding up it's construction, Ger
many was not speeding up. If 1t
fought, the time could not come for
twenty years, for Germany had much
to settle before it could fight England.

nature. The twentieth century was for
Germany as the nineteenth had been
for England. That was decreed in the
nature of things.
M Clemenceau is no friend to lot
teries or to gambling in any shape or
form He has just submitted to the
chamber of deputies bill framed with
a view to the abolition of lotteries, and
in the meantime to a general liquida-
tion of those which have been author
ized. The method which he suggests
for this liquidation Is somewhat COM
plicated, and as this question is scarce
ly likely to be discussed for some time
at the Palais Bourbon, and as, If the
bill is adopted, the proposed scheme
will probably be modified 1t is unnec-
essary to enter into details. If the
suppression of lotteries is voted the
public will be deprived of a mild form
of excitement, but little else, as we do
not hear of people running themselves
over lottery tickets, the average price
of which is no more than 20 cents.
An amusing little adventure hap
pened the other day to the French min

an official visit to a little town In the
southeast of France which is famous

Escaping Steam of Locomotive Ahead

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 1.-Two
men dead is the result of a grewsome
accident at $50 this morning in the
Santa Fe yards in this city.
w. e. Bell, who was instantly killed,
and J. F. Cook, fatally injured, dying
shortly after noon. were the victims OF
the disaster brought on by their own
carelessness in sitting on the rails OF
one of the tracks while their switch
engine was blocked by an outgoing
freight train.
They were struck by another loco
motive bound for the roundhouse'
which they did not see approaching un>
iii it was too late to leap for safety.
The crew of the light engine were un-
able to see the men on the track in
front of them on account of clouds of
steam from the helper engine of the
freight train which was opposite
them on the adjoining track.
Bell was instantly killed and his body
horribly mangled beneath the wheels
Of the big engine. Cook. the other
switchman. was dragged for number
OF feet and his skull fractured He was
placed on the switch engine rushed
by his fellow employees to the depot,
where assistance was given him and
he was placed on a passenger train
and taken to the hOSpltal IN Los All
geles. where he died at noon.
Bell had been here about year ana
leaves a family of seven children, rang
ing in age from il years down, and a
wife. Little Is known of Cook, who had
worked here only a week, coming from

The coroners jury this afternoon re-
turned the verdict of accidental death
due to their own carelessness. and held
the engineer and fireman of the engine

WEEK OF FLYING
TO BE ARRANGED
FOR ANGEL CITY
LOS ANGELES is TO HAVE
AVIATION CONTESTS
AERoPLANEs FROM WORLD TO
COMPETE
Southern California Metropolis Can
Handle Airship Races IN Winter
Months, Which No other
Town Can Do

Plans for a week of flying in Los
Angeles which win attract the atten-
tion of the world are being put in shape
for discussion next week. An effort Will
be made to bring to Southern Callfor-
MIA early next year, If possible the
Coupe Internationale d d'AViation with
its week of preliminary flights of aero
planes.
This event will be much greater in
the second contests than the first COM
petition recently closed at Rheims. II
will occupy columns of space in news
papers all over the world, not only Tor
the week of the events but as well from
the time the location is decided. Ihe
interest excited by the contests at
Rheims and the intense desire of Euro
pean aViators to win the trophy away
from America will make the second in
ternationaI aviation races even more
memorable than the first.
For this reason Americans VINO are
conversant with progress in aeronau-
tics realize the Importance of the event.
At present New York is not greatly IN
terested, but after the Hudson-F 'uHon
exhibition that city will undoubtedly
make a strong effort to raise FUNDS sur
ficient to guarantee the aeroplane con
tests. other cities are considering the
competition, especially Denver, Spokane
st. Louis and Chicago.
A feature possessed alone by Los An
geles is the ability to handle a great
contest of this sort in midwtnter, wneh
aviation is not taken up in any other
city. Officers of the chamber OF COM
merce and others believe that this fea-
ture may be made a great drawing
card. both to participants and specta-
tors in case the Aero club of America
can be persuaded to consider the propo-
sition to hold the next contests In the
winter.
Advertising Great
"This would be the finest advertising
scheme in the world, aside from its i'm
portance in encouraging aviation, said
Willis H. Booth, president of the cham
her of commerce, yesterday afternoon.
"If it were heralded over the world the
next races have been assigned to Los
Angeles and in the middle of winter it
would call attention to what we may
do here in winter as nothing else could.
"This matter is an immense thing; 1t
must necessarily be handled just like
an exposition. l am convinced of the
advantages coming in getting 1t here at
Los Angeles next time, and hope that
we may land it. Dick Ferris talked so
much about aeronautics on the way east
that I changed my route and went to
Washington to see the Wright brothers
fly, and I certainly did not regret the
two or three days 1 lost on that ac-
count.
"The public interest in travelling
through the air is awakened immense
ly. and we must not lose sight of the
importance of that fact. We want to
keep Los Angeles up with the process
sion or flying ahead Of It,"
Mr.. Booth and Dick Ferris talked
over the matter informally yesterday
and decided to talk it over with prom
inent business men as soon as Mr..
Booth gets President Taft'S visit ar
ranged for.

CATTLE KILLED
BY OAK LEAVES
ST0CKMEN IN SOUTHWEST
SUFFER LOSSES
Action of Tannic Acid on Stomachs
of Grazing Animals Extremely
lnjurious-Linseed Oil Is
Only Remedy

The stockmen grazing their cattle on
the National forests in the Southwest,
especially in Colorado and New Mexico,
have suffered serious losses during the
present summer through the cattle eat
ing oak leaves.
In that section of the country the
season has been unusually dry and
grass extremely scarce. To exc out the
scanty forage supply, the cattle have
browsed heavily on the scrub oak
which covers large portions of the
range. Ordinarily the stock does not
browse much on the oak and the little
they do get, taken with the other food,
is not injurious, but when, as in the
present season, the oak browse furn-
ishes a large proportion of the daily
food of the cattle, the results are seri-
Gus.
The oak leaves and sprouts contain
a large percentage of tannic acid. The
action of this acid on the stomach is
extremely injurious and the losses
have been unusually severe. The
symptoms of the disease are staring
eyes, feverish and blistered lips and
nose, the animal ceases to Craze or
seek for food, standing in one place
for hours at a time. The coat becomes
rough and the hair is all turned the
wrong way, as in cases of loco poison
ing. The animal does not chew its
cud and in a comparatively short time
it becomes too weak to remain on its
feet and death rapidly follows.
So far as is known the only available
remedy for this trouble is linseed oil
given as a drench in amounts from one
to two quarts. The oil appears to
overcome the injurious effects of the
tannic acid and if the disease is not
advanced too far and the animal can
be furnished on sufficient food SO it
will not be forced to eat the oak, it
will generally recover. The best
method, of course. in handling the
trouble, is If possible. to get the cattle
away from the range where the oak
is found and furnish them with plainly
OF fresh green feed to build up again.
