DIPLOMATS FAVOR It
Advocate Site Near Washing
ton for Aviation Meet.
VIEWS ARE FREELY GIVEN
Ambassador Mayor des Planches Be-
lieves Italy Might Be Represent
ed-Other Nations Interested.

Foreign diplomats in Washington, who.
as rule. are reticent in expressing
views on any subject of internal interest
to the United SAFES, speak out In con-
cert. however, their hope that the next
international aviation meet will be held
| in Washington.
This meet as is generally known, will
be held somewhere in America next DC
tober. Washington and Baltimore have
been working together to secure the
meet at some point near here and be-
tween Washington and Baltimore.
italian Ambassadors Opinion.
When the subject was preached to
Mayor des Planches, the Italian am
bassador, who is soon to retire, he said:
4 feel confident that II the aviation
meet is held near Washington it will at
tract worldwide attention and be an
event in which all nations would desire
to be represented In aeroplanes the
Italian army is sIlll In the experimental
age, but we have in the army already
two heavier than.air machines and one
dlrigible balloon.
If the aviation meet is held in Wash
lneton and the Washington Baltimore
aviation committee receives the support
OF the United States government, the
Italian government would probably he
willing 10 send one of its aeroplanes to
represent it at the meet. This, of course
would have to be done in the usual
official way
Swiss Minister Interested.
The same feeling is voiced BY Paul
Ritter, the Swiss minister, who said that
switzerland is much interested In the
development of aerial navigation quite as
much in a commercial way as from a
military standpoint. He thinks that as
the meet is to be held in America there
can be no question that Washington is
the most appropriate city.
He believes many European aviators
would rather participate for honor in
Washington than for large money prizes
elsewhere, and that If the government
would officially sanction the meet il
would 6ain the adherence of many for
eign avIators who would not otherwise
take part.
Officials of the French and British en-
bassies expressed themselves in the same
way. Col. Baron de Bode, the Russian
military attache. who has closely followed
all trials of the Wright machine here.
said he believes unquestionably that
1shington is the place for the meet.
lrtland Fled Bishop, president of
Aero Club of America, is coming to
.-snington Monday to look over the
SITES offered for the international meet.
The location probably will be settled
soon after he returns to New York.

machinery of the supreme court of the
state will be necessary to adjust the
matter.

EXCAvAT|NG FOR
NEW STRUCTURE
The CentraIia HdW. Go. to Ex-
pend Several Thousand Dol
lars for Improvements to
Property.

Excavations are now being made
in the rear of the Centralia Hard
ware company on Grand Avenue for
the basement of the new addition to
be made to their property.
L. M. Nash, of the company, states
that the work will be pushed on as
fast as possible, owing to the fact
that their business is increasing and
their store space lis becoming too
small, and they need the room.
The additional structure will be 80
by sc feet, two stroies high and base
ment. The annex is to be made of
Carey concrete blocks and George
Moulton, the contractor, has charge
of that part of the work.
The plans are not quite completed,
but Architect George Miller will have
them ready in a short time, after
which the work will begin on the
building proper.
The cost of the improvements will
amount to several thousand dollars,
and the same will be valuable adj
dition to the appearance of the street
