Trying to Regulate Aerial Warfare

7 fort or an army or fleet, may. they, when
fighting with each otherS imperil the lives
or property OF innocent noncombatants
below? - -
The delegates were practically unani-
nous in saying no to this last question. II
was pointed out that in terrestrial warfare
the zone of hostilities is always limited
by the cumbrousness OF armies and fleets;
in battle in the air, which might move at
100 miles an hour because OF the mobility
of the flying squadrons, the zone of hos
tilities would be almost unlimited.
To cover these two points NJ. de Lapra-
dele offered a resolution to the effect that
war in the air is permitted on the sole
condition that it does not subject the per-
sons and the property of noncombatants
to greater dangers than are entailed by
war ON land or sea-"
An English proposition prohibiting all
aerial warfare was defeated and the resolu-
ton Of Il. de Lapradelle was adopted by a
large majority, .e
This was only a. vote of principle, IT is
said. In September, 1912, at the meeting in
Christiania the subject will be brought up
for final decision and the result will be
sent 20 the next peace conference at The
Hague.

Yeast Crop Swells

Those who recall the hop CROP furore
In certain sections OF Nebraska some years
ake viii be interested to learn that In
Oregon, hop growers will be greatly en-
richsd this year. 1t is reported the yield
this year will not only be one OF the best
ever known, but prices will be high Indi-
cations are that within a few days 80 cents
a pound viii be paid for the growing crop
and many familiar with the trade believe
that 4O-cent market will be reached be-
fore the autumn Is over. Indeed. one Pa
cific coast dealer makes the prediction that
hops win sell for 80 cents before the first
OF the year.
Omaha daily bee., 1911-08-14

In view Of q short crop in Europe and
bad Yields in other parts OF this country,
the Pacific northwest will have a fair crop
and Oregon very good one. Oregon
growers have contracted but q small par.
OF the years yield and they will be in d
position to profit by the high market that
Is promised.
The output OF the Oregon hop fields
is estimated this year at from 5000 70
10000 bales Taking 10000 bales as a
fair figure, the Oregon hop crop will
bring into the state, figuring ON the prob
able price, no less than S5.5O0O00
There is said to be shortage in the
world supply this year OF 10000 hundred
weight, or 20 per cent more hops than
Oregon produced in its biggest year. In
lSo6-7-s there was a large surplus Of old
hops on hand and prices were consequently
depressed. This surplus has now been
used up, it is said, only a few small lots
remaining in growers hands here and
there.
