SUNDAY SCHOOL
PICNIC CALLED OFF
Strectcar Strike In Columbus Knocks
Plans In the Head.

The street car strike in Columbus
Is said to be responsiDlc for the
Union picnic which was planned by
the Sunday schools of Prospect for
Wednesday being called off, The
Sunday schools of the village had
planned to enjoy an outing at Olen-
tangy park in Columbus. The trip
was to have been made over the
Hooking Valley railroad and this
would neccssltate the use of the
street cars in going from the Union
depot to the park. The conditions in
Columbus are not the best and ii is
considered dangerous to attempt to
use the street cars, so the picnic was
called Off
1t is probable that another date
will be selected when the strike has
been settled and that the grownups
and children will pe given the treat
which has been promised them.

if some one could be found

believe that he was not leaving be-
cause of any hard or unpleasant feel

policy of the church. He stated that
he had greatly enjoyed his work in
the city, and would not leave it with
out many regrets.
In conversation with Il Mirror re-
porter today, regarding his departure
Rev. Bailey limited that two of the

The new head of the army, Gen.
eral Leonard Wood will not forsakc
the old dlrlgiblc balloon As military
aircraft in favor of the heavier-than-
air machine.
According to the general, heavier
practicability for many purposes but
even the recent bomb throwing tests
at Atlantic city and New York have
failed to convince him that they are
as yet sufficiently perfected to meet
the requirements of war, The CHIEF
objection raised by General Wood to
this type of air craft Is their depend
cncy upon favorable weather to fly,
whereas the dirigible' gas machines
have already made successful flights
under the most adverse atmospheric
conditions.
"The drigible already has proven
that it Is useful in military maneuv-
ers," said Wood. "As scout ships,
dirigibles have sailed during ma
neuvers over ground that would be
in war the camp of the enemy and
engineers in them have demonstrated
their ability to make accurate maps
of hostile forces, their distribution
and the extent and location of their
fortihcations."
The new chief OF staff is a firm
believer in the agitation of the ques-
ton of a balloon division to the Uni
ted States army and thinks that the
reinforcement of the army In the field
with such an equipment would great
ly add to its lighting efficiency.
AS to heavier-than-ai machines he
said:
"The trouble with these from a
military standpoint is that circum-
stances have to be well nigh ideal
for starting and alighting and even
then they are quite dependant upon
favorable weather. The dirigibles will
stand much harder usage"
