AERIAL STRUGGLE IS LIKELY
France Reckoning with Possibility
of Having to Meet Germany.
Gen. BonnaI Commissioned 40 Pre-
pare Report on Strategical and
Tactical Plans.

Paris. March 12.-France is already reck-
oning with the possibility Of having to
meet Germany in an aerial struggle. Gen.
Lacroix. president OF the French National
Airship League. has commissioned Gen.
BonnaI to prepare a report on the STRAIT
egical and tactical plans which the
French aerial forces would have to fol-
low in the event of a Franco-German
war. Some essential points Of Gen. Bon
nails recommendations are published in
the Paris Figaro.
He begins by assuming that Germany
would place in the first line 10000 men.
distributed as follows: Four hundred and
fifty thousand in Lower Alsace. 15O.00 In
Upper Alsace, and 10000 in the Rhine
provinces. OF twelve German airship
cruisers, six would be stationed In Co
.logne. three at Metz. and three at Tegel
AS the most vulnerable part Of France
ne points to the region between the riv-
ers Mosel and Meuse, and it is here that
France must at once seek to obtain the
mastery Of the air.
The imperative condition for military
airship, Gen B0nnal holds. is to get above
the enemy's vessel. and this depends on
the speed that can be developed in ma
neuvering Speed therefore Is the main
thing. because If the enemy's airship
moves faster it can escape attack by
swiftly maneuvering horizontally while
the other is straining all efforts TO rise.

ASOUITH'S FATE IN BALANCE
English Government May Be De-
feated ON Snap Division
Parliament ReassembIes on March
20 and Action May Mean Resig-
nation of Prime Minister.

London. March 1.-THE government
may be assumed to be safe till March
%. but when Parliament reassembles on
March %. after four days holiday. it is
generally conceded that It may be de-
feated any day on snap division. If
that should happen people are speculat-
ing whether the prime minister would
feel himself obliged to resign at once.
Defeat on one of the government
main proposals would. OF course. be fol-
lowed by immediate resignation But
when conditions are such as at present
in the house ii is the unlocked for defeat
on a side issue that is most generally
feared. It was defeat of this kind that
brought about Lord Rosebery's resigna-
ton in 1895.
Campbell Bannerman was war secre-
tary and incurred a vote Of censure arts
ing out OF an unsatisfactory reply TO a
question as TO the supply of cordite.
Rosebery then resigned. though he did
not do so in the previous year when he
was defeated on he address. Between
1871 and 1873 Gladstone was defeated
several times, Hul uiu ilot EEoiSAks AlC vas
defeated on a vote as 10 the House Of
Lords In 1885 and still held on.
Going further back. Lord John Russell
between 1893 and 1871 was defeated re-
peatedly, but refused to resign until
Pools vote of want OF confidence was
passed. and then he pointed out that
Pitt had been defeated In the House OF
Commons no less than fourteen times
and had persistently refused to resign.
Mr.. Asquith has TO go back to 17Ss for
a precedent for sending up resolutions
to the House of Lords. In December OF
that year Pitt moved three resolutions
in the Commons dealing with the diff
culties caused by King Georges Illness.
These were not considered to meet the
case, and. in the following month Pitt
moved FIVE resolutions, on which the
regency bill was to be founded These
were eventually agreed to and adopted
by the House of Lords.

AMERICANS DRESS BETTER
Head of London Department Store
Tells of Recent Visit.
Declares Fair Sex of the United
states Spend Four Times rs
Much on Dress.

London, March 12.-Mr. Lawrie, general
manager of London's biggest department
store, gave an address ne other evening
to the System Club, the members OF
which are London business men, on his
recent visit to the United States.
Unless Britons woke up he said, they
would no longer be able to call them
selves a nation of shopkeepers. He was
surprised at the enormous size of AmerI-
can stores. If man in London saw a
store with $50 feet frontage he was stag
gered, but what would the Londoner
think Of an American store with a 'front.'
age OF 500 feet or 500 feet and twelve
floors. every one of which was crowded
with people?
How was 1t, asked Mr.. Lawrie, that
New York had a dozen great stores and
London win its larger population only
two or three? It was because the aver
age American woman spent three or four
times as much on dress and Other things
as the English woman. He saw no poor
or dirty people in America. II was a
land OF luxury and plenty.
Mr.. Lawrie's statement that American
women spend more money on their
clothes than English women is accepted
as only partly explaining why American
women are better dressed than English
women.
4 think good deal of the American
woman's success in dressing lies in two
facts" said the manager of a Bond street
firm. "she has studied the art OF dress
ing and she has cultivated original Ideas
of her own. You do not find the American
woman coming in to be advised. but with
her own ideas. which she expects to be
carried out to the smallest detail. These
ideas are distinctly original and in good
taste. Her eye for color schemes is ex-
cellent, Both these facts so long way
TO prove why the American women is
always smart.
There Is another thing very strongly
in favor Of the American woman. She
naturally has a very beautiful figure
Her clothes are worthy of more con-
slderation In her eyes than sport, and al
though she is an athlete. she does not
show that disregard for dress often 10 be
noticed in the sporting woman who thinks
Of nothing but hockey or golf"
