phasizes a few points on the relation
of the aeroplane to warfare that serve
to bring out his notion that the day
is not far off when the expenditure
of millions for dreadnaught battle
ships will be unknown.

fighting men on the faraway battle

Already more than one great mill
tary and naval captain has suffered
disquieting visions of what will hap
pen when, maneuvering unopposed
and unseen In the obscurity OF the
night, not merely one or a few, but
veritable swarms Of light aeroplanes,
in 10000 lots, costing no more than
single dreadnaughts, commence trail
ing asortments of high explosives at
the end of 1000 foot lengths of piano
wire over cities and palaces and
through fleets and armies.
Many authorities are inclined to dis
parage the fighting ability of the aero
plane, basing their views on the fact
that it has been demonstrated exceed
ingly difficult to drop bombs with any
considerable accuracy from great
heights. But from slow-moving
aeroplane flying very low it should be
an easy matter to cast generous par

If precedent is followed in the case OF the
coronation of King George commemorative
services will be held in Washington (and In all
the worlds capitals where Great Britain has
embassies and legations) simultaneously with
the significant ceremony in London. Such
commemorative exercises when under the
auspices of British diplomats are always espe-
cially impressive, one Ct the most notable
within the memory of official washington be-
ing the memorial service in honor OF the late
King Edward, which was held In washington
at the same hour that the funeral was held In
England. Such services are attended by the
president of the United States and ttt mem
bers of his cabinet and by all the members of
the diplomatic corps in full uniform. When,
as in this case, the services are in honor of
British monarch, they are always held in an
Episcopal church, that being the denomina-
ton of the Church of England. The scene of
such commemorative events in Washington Is
old ST. Johns church, the famous Court
Church" or Church of the Presidents" which
is located directly opposite the White House.
Unfortunately the general public gets never
peep at such ceremonials because the church
is tiny one, seating only few hundred per.
sons and virtually every pew in the edifice has
to be reserved for the diplomats and public
officials who by virtue of their positions are
entitled to attend.

Practically the same things occur
in the use of the drawknife and the
plane. Where the American uses the
drawknife as its name would imply,
/. e., by pulling it, the Japanese gets
it in hacking push stroke. The Jap
anese drawknifa is different from the
American in that it has only one han
die instead of two and that this in
stead of being set at right angles to
the blade is in a straight line with 1t.
Its principal use is in trimming the
joints of bamboo poles.

Particularly interesting is the rela-
ton of navigation to warfare, and the
subject obsesses many now that the
governments are taking up the ex-

latest of mans inventions probably
will serve first in adding to the ter

These British courtiers will pilot the proxy of
President Taft all through the intricate prob
lem of the coronation festivities, telling him
just where to go, when to go and what to do
when he gets there. In addition Mr.. Ham.
mond will enjoy all the privileges and immuni-
ties which are secured by international Gus
tom to the ambassadors of all countries
Whereas Mr.. Hammond will be the most
conspicuous American at all the public events
connected with the coronation he is the head
of what is known as special embassy and
the other members will come In for their re.
spective shares of glory. The official staff of
the special ambassador will include military
aid who will be brigadier general of the reg
ular army and naval aid who will be of the
rank of rear admiral, and in addition there
will be three secl ecaries-young men chosen
more for their social qualifications an be-
cause of clerical ability.
The army and navy representatives in the
special embassy will of course don their spe
cial full dress uniforms on all ceremonial occa-
sions during their stay in London, but the spe
cial ambassador, alike to the regular envoy
will not be asked to appear in fancy court at
tire of any kind or to make any elaboration
of the conventional evening clothes such as
he would wear at a White House reception
There will be this difference, however, that
Mr.. Hammond will have to venture forth at all
hours of the day in his claw-hammer coat in
stead of reserving such attire for evening
events as he would do here at home. And
being somewhat short of stature anyway, this
plain American citizen in his unobtrusive cos
tune can scarcely expect to attract as much
attention in the big public parades as will the
princes of various nationalties who will be
present In all the splendor of vivid-hued court
costumes, bedecked with jeweled decorations

standing at the coronation events will be Cap

does not go to afford an impressive convey
ance for the special ambassador and his suite.
On the contrary they will travel on the regular
ocean liners, but Great Britain has invited all
the nations on the globe to send warships to

pecially to a great naval review off the English
