CIVIL WAR MAY
FOLLOW STRIKE
Situation in Italy Has a Des-
perate Side and Public Is
Apprehensive

Rome, Dec. 2s-The agitation
among the railway men in favor Of
for increased wages continues. but
with great secrecy. The government
is doing its utmost to check the move-
ment to prevent a serious situation.
More than 10000 men have voted in
favor of a strike. More than four
ffths of the railway mileage Of Italy
is owned by the government. In case
of walkout, this would place the
strikers in direct conflict with the
state. The public Is uneasy over the
situation.

which better management might have
saved or were lost by some accident
or an inhnitesmal majority as In Mile
End, where Tory was returned by
a majority Of two. But the great fact
remains that, contrary to all cleo
tion precedents. the same Liberal
ministry was returned three times in
succession and the second time on
the same issue. That issue was the
abolition Of the veto power Of the
house Of lords.
Premier Asquith gave indication
of the urgent importance and close
approach Of the struggle on this
question by his hurried visit to the
king.
Beyond all question. Asquith and
the other Liberal ministers mean
business and will withdraw from Of
fee unless they are allowed to carry
out their full program. There will
fbe no real opposition, itself, from
the king or even from the house Of
lords. l regard the abolition Of the
veto already as good as carried.

"The Tories already are weakening
in some Of their sanest journals and
everybody now knows that Asquith.
lac driven to 1t, will have the will and
the power to create 500 Liberal peers.
Even the tbackwoodsmen' peers per-

Questions of Safety.

Questions of Safety.
Now" he goes on to say, there is
the question of safety. Here am
face to face with grave misconcep-
|tion. People generally have come to
the conclusion that flying is highly
dangerous. and will always remain
so. l, as practical flyer, say there
lis very little danger in it now, and
that in the future there will be no
more risk in an aerial journey than
in moving from point to point in a
railway train.

and pupils who can pilot machines
off the ground number about 5000.
To teach these men to navigate a new
element with crude, experimental ma
chimes and absolutely no data to go
upon what has the death roll amount
ed to? Less than 80; and in this par
ticular connection it is significant to
recall as comparison that nine men
were killed in one great motor car
race. Analysing the deaths that have
taken place, it is possible to draw a
practical lesson from each. Thus q

"Inexperience, foolhardiness and
CONSTITUTIONAL weakness have been

Next summer, practically for the
first time, ordinary people will be
able to enjoy the sensations of air
travel. Ready for trial in the spring

which one might call an aircar. 1t

A 100-horsepower engine will propel
1t. It will have body like motor

seats, we'll protected from the wind.
There Is no reason why any wealthy
motorist should not purchase such a
machine. He may have an aerial
chauffeur If he does not want to learn
to drive himself, and enjoy aeroplan-
ing in thoroughly practical way.
I'm its sporting aspect" says the
aviator. Il foresee that flying will
enjoy greater vogue than motoring,
Motor car driving, even in its most
favorable aspects cannot be compar-
ed with flying. There is a sense OF
freedom and exhilaration in passing

AIR PROBLEMS
Grahame. White Writes on the Devel.
ODmcnt of AerOs.

London, Dec. 2S.-The most pract-
ical and also the most inspiring dis
cussion of the future of aviation ap-
pears today from the pen OF Claude
|Grahame- White, who confidently af-
firms that the year Of 1911 will wit
ness the actual development of
great new industry. The advance
|ment of the aeroplane, he pointed out.
has been checked by three defects In
the machines themselves-inability to
combat winds, constitutional weak
|nesses, and the unreliability of the
engines.
THAT these defects will be over
come and that flying machines will
be practical for every day use," says
Grahame- White, lis my firm convic-
Ition. Take flying In winds. With
the aeroplanes we had in the begin
ming it was only possible to ascend
when the wind was as low as four or
five miles an hour. Now find 1t
quite possible to remain in the air
and control the machine in a wind of
twenty-five miles. From this to abili-
'ty to fly In stronger winds is merely
Ia question of greater speed.
II have become an ardent advocate
|of high-speed flying" continues Mr..
Grahame- White. Speed gives you
power to overcome attacks Of sudden
wind gusts, which are the airmen's
peril. In high-speed monoplane.
for example, you dash through an ad-
verse gust in the same way that a
fast torpedoboat destroyer thrusts
her way through an opposing wave.
For this reason, in my CONSTITUTIONAL
work shall devote my earnest atten-
tion to a high-speed machine. For
greater weight and rigidity of con-
struction are bound to come, and
with them will dawn an era Of aerial
travel at a speed of 100 miles an
hour.
Can Fly In High Wind.
"At such speed 1t will be possible
to pilot machine through anything
short Of an actual gale. When we
have this machine. which 1t Is my in
tention to strive for constructionally,
regular aerial services will become
not only possible but profitable.

With the skepticism with which some
people always view a new idea, 1t
was contended In the infancy of the
aeroplane that no petrol motor would
lstand the strain of propelling an ae-
lroplane because of its necessary
l1ightnesS and the high speed at which
It would have to be run.
The answer to these critics has
been overwhelming. Even while oul

pellers. are admittedly imperfect

TINS is CLUETT SHIRT wEFK.

In the windows of some Of our lead
ing furnishers. displays are being
made this week of the famous Cluett
Shirts.
Many of these shirts have been
made up from shirtings exclusively
confined to the Cluett lines, and as
the variety is very large, naturally
the display Is most interesting, re-
vealing some of the most attractive
shirt patterns and styles that have
even been shown.
There are pleated bosom shirts, the
new short pleated bosom shirts, and
plain bosom shirts, all in such a be-
wildering variety of colors and pat
terms that detailed description is quite
impossible.
This display of Cluett Shirts is now
being made throughout the country,
and is one of the accepted trade fea-
lures of the season.
