Aeroplane May Be
Factor in War Between
Italians and Turks

Should the war between Italy and
Turkey last any length of time, it is
Just probable that the civilized world
plishments of the aeropIane in the cam
psign.
The italian government has a couple
of aeroplanes and Turkey has one.
These may be sent to the scene of battle
and used for various purposes by the
two armies. If the aeroplanes should
prove themselves real power in battle,
1t is likely that both nations will hur--
riedly purchase extra machines a2d
have them rushed to the front.
Whether or not the Italians and Turks
use the flying machine, the other pow
ers would eventually bring them into
play should war break out between the
larger countries. The other nations Of
Europe and the United States will watch
the present fight between Italy and
Turkey very closely to see II these
countries bring the aeroplane into the
scrap. Should they be used the other
nations would be benefited greatly by
the experience Of Turkey and Italy, in
the fact that IT would be the first dem
onstration Of the use of the aeroplane
as an offensive and defensive weapon.
The Italians or Turks can use the
aeroplane to a most cruel advantage
should they take the right steps. The
present aeroplane is capable of lifting
about 200 pounds of extra weight in ad-
dition to the pilot. With an assistant a
machine can life but about so to 1N
extra pounds.
This would enable pilot and a helper
to take up about fifty pounds of high
explosives to be dropped upon the bat
tleships Of the enemy, or into defense
,ess city. Great havoc would he
wrought, for no gun has yet proven its
ability to hit an object so high in the
air as an aeroplane would sail in case
of war,

pin Brown Is chairman, placed itself
squarely on record as opposingI8uch

be carried to the Chamber of Com
merce, giving their reasons for this
The announcement that the Commits
sloners had definitely decided to in
crease the water tax, did not reach the
committee until after 1t had adjourned.
An aftercall was not made, the indi-
viduals declaring it is better to wait
until the official report of the proceed
ings OF the Commissioners sessions is
received. Another meeting of the COM
mittee will be held the first part of the
coming week The resolutions adopted
at the meeting today, together with ad-
ditional ones to be drawn up for the
next meeting, will be submitted to the
night.
The municipal legislation committee
today declared that any increase In the
existing rates will result in a hardship
to the very residents of the Districts
who are unable to bear them.
Tenants Are Sufferers.
1t is the tenants of the buildings
who will suffer, the committee de-
clared, even more than the property
owners themselves.
Therefore, we earnestly urge the
Chamber of Commerce to take all
necessary steps to prevent any adj
vance whatsoever in the present water
tax" the committee declared.
Steps to call a mass meeting of the
citizens of the District to protest
against the proposed increase, will
be taken Immediately.
THE Commissioners are given the
rcwer by Congress to regulate and fix
to 4 certain extent the rates to be
charged for water. How far this goes
IL Is unnecessary to inquire in the con-
sideration Of This matter at the present

slorers is that the water rates should
be Increased in order to cover up the
cost of installing the water registers

mittee stated.

The United States Government will
Issue n proclamation of neutrality in
the Turko-Italian war and will give
warning TO all American vessels TO on
serve the HUSTLE blockade OF the TT
poliran ports This was the announce
ment 1T the state Department today.
A telegram was received this after
noon from Ambassador Rockhll, al
Constantinople, stating that the doc
is still open for peace negotiations pc
tween italy and Turkey. He said that
great excitement prevails al Constant
nopIe and that the military authorities
have issued stringent orders Tor the
maintenance of order in the city.
Another telegram was received al the
department from the AmCl lean charge
at Berlin, saying that at the request OF
Italy the German embassy IN CONSTANT
nopie has assumed charge OF Italian IN
A dispatch to the State Department
received late today from the American
charge d'affaires at Berlin says tnat
by the request of Italy the Germany
embassy in Constantinople has assumed
charge of italian interests.
A conference was held this morning
NV Acting Secretary Of State 4dee. the
solicitor and the counsellor of the State
Denartmeut. to prepare the details OF
the proclamation and to review the sit-
uation as it now appears TO exist. AT,
fer the conference the counsellor and
solicitor began the preparation OF the
measure.
The fact was noted. however. taa'
no formal declaration of war has beer
issued by either Italy or Turkey, but
this is not necessary to the procedure
of declaring neutrality.
1t was recalled at the department
today, that in the case of the Russian
Japanese war no formal declaration
was ever received by this Govern
ment. but that a position of neutrality
was taken by the United States and
was maintained throughout that con-
fict This Is precedent enough foI
the Administration and the forthcom,
ing declaration will be put out with
in the next few days. probably or
Monday
This declaration will be sent to Presi
dent Taft for his signature. Only the
sovereign or the executive Of a powe
can issue such a proclamation. AS soor

UNCLE SAM WILL
REMAIN NEUTRAL

as II Is signed by the President the fact
will be telegraphed to the State De-
partment and the proclamation trans
mitted to the two governments now In
conflict and to the other powers which
may be interested.
All gossip about mediation by THIS
Government is confined officially to the
admission at the State Department
that the letter of former Ambassador
Oscar Straus has. been received but
not acted upon. Other suggestions of
the same nature have come from peace
advocates. but they. too, have been
filed away for consideration at the
proper time.
Absolutely no intimation was given
out at the State Department today
about the probable course of this Gov
eminent toward mediation. The unof-
fetal statements today are to the effect
that mediation will not be taken up by
this Government for some weeks, II at
all.
Before this country would feel justified
in interfering with the existing hostill-
ties to the extent of Offering its good
Offices in a movement for peace, some
suggestion must come from one or the
other Of the beligerents to the effect
that interference would be acceptable
In that event, the United States might
IL is said today, step in and propose
peace negotiations.
When President Roosevelt offered 10
arrange for such negotiations be-
tween Japan and Russia, he did so
only after an invitation had come
that his services would be accepta-
able. President Roosevelt only or
fered the Japs and Russians me-
dunn through WHICH they might pro-
coed. -
So far, this Government has not
been even remotely interested vitality
in the -Tripolitan war, but today the
chance came for the United States
to have a hand in the proceeding.
ThiS chance was offered when Tur-
key asked the State Department to
take care Of her subjects in Italy.
There is no reason, 1t was said today,
for declining to perform this service,
and it likely is, Therefore, that the
United States will become the guardians
Of the Turks who now may be on 1tal-
Ia nsoil. The request of the Turks was
received at the State Department this
morning and action deferred until Sec
rotary Knox, and perhaps President
Taft, can be conferred with.
There will be no unfriendliness towarj
Italy, intended or implied, in the UnitGN
States assuming to offer protection to
the Turks in Italy. This Is an interna'
tional service recognized by all powers
and one at which Italy will be unable to
take umbrage.
