BALLOONS INTERCEPT
WIRELESS MESSAGES
Military Aeronautics Shown to Be
of Great Value in Warfare

LONDON, Oct. S.-Experiments car
ried out by Mr. A de Mowbray Bel
lairs and Lieut.. H. L. Maitland, of the
Essex Regiment, near Warley, have
shown that it is possible for balloonists
to intercept messages in course OF
transmission by wireless telegraphy
The experiments were conducted at a
height of more than mile, with the
aid of a newly invented portable wire
less apparatus which can be slung in
an ingenious manner to meet the re-
uuirements of balloonists. Several
wireless messages were intercepted, and
it was shown that wireless telegraphy
could be used in a more satisfactory
manner than at the altitude at which
the wireless apparatus is usually erect
ed.
A we'll known aviator who is famil-
lar with the experiments now being
carried out by Messrs. Bellairs and
Maitland said, in an interview, that he
regarded these experiments as proving
conclusively the value Of wireless teleg-
raphy as an adjunct of military aeron-
autics.
"The trouble with the ordinary aero
plane" he continued, sis that no eX-
listing type of aeroplane can be held
stationary in the air for the purpose
OF making useful observations, or. for
receiving and transmitting wireless
messages. With q balloon, however,
there is no reason why the aeronauts
should not be able to remain at such an
altitude as to be practically invisible,
while able to make minute observations
with powerful glasses.
"There is no reason why balloon
should not be colored azure to resem-
BILE the sky, while, in the event of be-
ing observed, the aeronauts could easily
throw out sufficient ballast to get be-
yond the reach Of any high-angle
guns"

CLAIMS BRITISH THRONE
SHOULD BE HELD IN CHECK

LONDON, Oct. S.-Mr. Keir Har-
die has made still another attack on
the throne in a speech at Tynemouth.
He said:
"This country in it's government is
becoming less democratic. The power
of the cabinet is growing and the con-
troll of the house of commons over it
is nothing like so effective as it was
even twenty years ago. But with the
growth of the power of the cabinet the
growth of another power is becoming
stronger every year.
IT refer to the power of the throne.
Every influence which works in the
dark and over which we have no con-
troll is an influence that ought to be
held in check.
II do not want to see a republican
agitation renewed in this country; but
if things go on as they are going now
the day will come when the battle OF
the people against privilege will require
to be fought over again and the rights
of the house OF commons won afresh'"

LOCKSMITHS TORTURED
BY PARTISAN RIOTERS

PARIS, Oct. 8.-We were taken into
the house. tied to a post, and kicked
and beaten till we nearly tainted. A
man stabbed us with large fork, an
other held a knife to our breasts, and
we promised, under compulsion, to obey
their orders"
This testimony was given before a
Paris magistrate by a number of lock-
smiths, who were tortured by members
of the Locksmiths' syndicate on strike
because they refused to leave their en-
ployers in the lurch and continued
working after the strike had been de-
clared
The men were hunted down by twen-
ty strikers, kept without food from six
in the morning till six at night, and
after being tortured were marched
down to the Bourse du Travail, where
they were put on a platform to. face a
room full of 1000 strikers
The strikers threw at the wretched
men everything they could lay their
hands on, struck them with their boots,
spat in their faces, and maltreated
them till they swore allegiance to the
Locksmiths syndicate,
The ringleaders in those proceedings
were arrested. and two of them have
been imprisoned.

The outdoor meetings of the Los An
geles chapter of the American Wo-
mans league, h I'D on the grounds of
the chapter house and at the parks
have been a great su cess, atfordlng
business men and women the ENJOY
ment of q holiday combined with busl-
ness and social diversion
Until the $4,000 chapter house is
built and occupied the outdoor meet
ings will be continued, and for the
convenience of the members meetings
will be held in the open. The growth
Of the chapter has exceeded the linz
tations of ordinary halls, thus involV-
ing an outlay for which there Is no
provision by the chapter. However, a
meeting will soon be called by the
president, Pearl Adams Spaulding, to
arrange for the winter meetings.
Thes next outdoor event will be the
pure food luncheon, November 10, on
the grounds of the chapter house. Ar
rangements for this will be perfected
by the board of trustees, consisting of
DR.. Henriette +. Sweet, Mrs. Ella *.
Sprinkel, Mrs. Leland Norton, Claudia
Hazen White, Mrs. Amelia A Guntoil,
vice presidents; Miss Jennie Van Allen,
secretary and treasurer, and DR.. John
Schmitz and r. b. Hallett, members
at large 1t is planned to build tables
that will serve for the present ana
future entertainment of the chapter,
which, in this semi-trOpical climate
will be of an outdoor character.
The luncheon probably will be
served afternoon and evening, the
members being privileged to invite one
guest. 4 requisition has been sent
providing for 1000 people. 1t will be
the most notable luncheon ever given
here, as 100000 people will be the
guests of the pure food manufacturers
of the United states, who are planning
to use advertising space in the Wo-
mans National Daily
rood PRODUCT SAAIPLING
To convince the National advertisers
of the strength and beauty of the
American Woman's league and give
the members an opportunity to sample
their food products before giving the
approval of the league they Will turnlsh
a box of their products.
Every chapter in the United states
will secure the place to hold the
luncheon and the means to serve IT,
The success of this luncheon depends
entirely upon the league members ana
involves an enormous amount of detail
therefore every woman is requested TO
send an immediate acceptance, that
place may be held for them in the
luncheon given bv the Los Angeles
chapter. The final report will be made
october 10, i.fter which no additions
can be considered.
Glasses were organized at the chap
ter house last Saturday night and a
winters work planned that will be IN
valuable to members taking the course.
Members who have not aValled thenl-
selves of this rare opportunity are
urged to register at the chapter house,

PARIS, Oct. S.--An expert who had
been commissioned by the minister OF
a aericulture to report on vintage pros
pects in the Burgundy region has re-
ported that practically the whole crop

weather continues the grapes are not
likely to ripen next year. Similar re-
ports are being received from the
south of France. In the Haute CAR
