Opportunity Welcome One.

The chance to try out aeroplanes in
practical work was welcomed by the War
Department, as it will be the nearest ap-
proach to actual war conditions likely
soon to be afforded the department.
When the question of sending troops
To the border to preserve neutrality was
first discussed there was suggestion
made of trying the machine now owned
by the government for scouting work.
Gen. Allen, chief signal officer. said that
he was afraid to risk the experiment, as
the machine was an old one and the en-
CINE was too unreliable for field use.
Then the suggestion was made to the
War Department by John Barry Ryan
commodore of the United States aero
nautical reserve. to have some of the re
serve men act as volunteer scouts. This
was considered by the War Department
for several days Aeroplanes just now
are rather hard to obtain, but there was
one new one available in the reserve. 1t
was the first Wright machine that had
been turned out commercials. 1t was
tho property of Robert Collier of New
York formerly a director of the Wright
Company and himself a member of tho
ae ronautical reserve. 1t was on exhibit
ton at the Boston show and has been
described an unusually we'll finished
machine. ii has been made without re-
gard to expense and is the finest sort of
. specimen of aeropane building.

Champ Clark Quoted.

When the democrats attending the eau
Gus entered the House lobby last night
they found there an easel supporting d
big placard Oh which, in black letters
was the following:
II do not know how long | shall lie
here. but long as am here | intend
to fight for the right to amend every
section of every great bill which comes
into the House, and do not care straw
whether the democrats control the House
or the republicans.
Beneath this placard was a note calling
attention to the fact that this was an cN
tract from a speech made on the floor of
the House by Champ Clark June I. 1910.
InaSmuch Mr. Clark in supporting
the Mccall bill now contends that there
should be no opportunity afforded mem
bers to amend that measure the placarded
quotation from his previous speech Great

of the Capitol last night, and there was
considerable speculation as to what par

ules in the Payne tariff law. will tend to

ing the largest percentage of pupils

the Richmond institution has taken a
high place in both classes on the hon

cent of the Bible class membership.
Owing to the large number of papers
which the Washington officials have

Washington. April 21.-There was a
shake-up in the diplomatic service late
Thursday which changed the plans of
several high officers in the corps. 1t
began with the resignation of Herbert

to which post he was appointed in
1906. Coincident with this came the
order TO Henry s. Boutell of Chicago
who was appointed TO be minister to
Portugal and had only gone as far as
London to await orders at that city.
l.. S. Swenson was then transferred
from Switzerland to the place vacated
by Mr.. Pierce in Norway and Mr.. Bou-
tell was sent to Switzerland. This
made a vacancy in Portugal to which
Secretary Knox sent f. b. Morgan,
now minister to Paraguay and IRA
quay. vacancy is left in the post to
the two latter countries.

sistant secretary of state in Washing

admirers were out in force and did their
best to aid their favorites to win, but 1t
was useless, the glassblowers were not In 1t

hit over the right field fence for two bases.
Kilmer struck out and Hafner was passed.
Guthbrod struck out and 1t looked as If
the inning would soon be over. G. Davis
hit singer to Pitt (for short) which the

and you should have heard the noise.
Things went along quietly until the
fifth inning, when Pitt landed on first
after clean hit. Borden sacrificed Pitt
to second. Lillig went out on fly to
