foreign nations have statutes relating
10 the practice Of the art which Marconi
founded. The United States is almost
the only power participating in the IN
tcrnational conference OF 1905 which has
failed To ratiGy the convention adopted
on that occasion. In the mean time the
American governments own interests
have suffered distinctly. With the dis
patch and receipt of official messages
amateurs have long been in the habit OF
interfering. ard the evil has gone On
from bad to worse. If such an embar-
r2sSment is possible in time of peace
what guarantee is there that il would
not prove even more formidable in time

other government in the world would
have so long tolerated what is certainly
nuisance. if not much worse than
nuisance In our opinion. the longer 1t
waits the more difficulty will tho govern

whether the number of amateurs in the

thousand. as has been asserted. but there
is a prospect that If will grow steadily

The Conklin bill providing for the re-

pension fund created by the bill is csten-

the plan is So crude that. according to

The plan is one Of those half-baked
efforts To- deal with a serious problem
against which the State civil Service

GERMANY'S AIR FLEET.

According To the Berlin correspondent
Of The London Daily Mail" Germany
already has no fewer than fourteen diri-
gibles available for Use by her army and
is building at least nine more. Those

80 feet i'm length. are capable of travel
ling from twenty To thirty-two miles an
hour and have q radius of action of
from three hundred 10 five hundred
miles. Some Of the largest airships
which have been completed can each
carry twenty six men besides the crew
while others viii accommodate from
eight to twelve. Two Of the new dirigi.
bles are expected to develop q speed Of
forty-fve or fifty miles an-hour. Nearly
or quite a thousand men are said to have
been trained in the use of military air
