THE GREAT ABBEY'S FOUNDERS.

London Letter in the New York Tribune.
What a comfort 1t is to escape from
the din of a coronation preparation and
to find at bookstall such a tasteful
monograph as Henry. Troutbeck' s
Founders of Westminster Abbey"! The
cover itself suggests the quaint material
to be found within, for there are span
drels from the abbey at each corner and
the blue and red shields of Edward the
Confessor. Henry III and Henry VII
are emblazoned In gold and colors.

MUST STICK TO ONE COMPANY,
court Makes Ruling in Case of In.
Surance Agent.

The claim of the insurance DEPARTMENT
Of the District of Columbia that an insur-
ance solicitor may be licensed to work
for one company only, was sustained to-
day by Justice Anderson of the District
Supreme Court. The justice declined to
grant mandamus prayed for by John
z. Kreh. jr.. to compel George w Ing.
ham, insurance commissioner, to grant
him license to represent q second in.
surance company.
The court held that from the language
OF the code 1t was apparent that the
trainers OF the law intended a solicitor
to act for one company only. He pointed
out that the name of the company was
required by the law to be inserted In the
license ana that penalty was imposed
upon a solicitor who worked for any
other company than the one named in his
license.
Attorney f. Sprigg Perry appeared for
the solicitor and Assistant Corporation
Counsel Stephens represented the insur.
ance department.

teadfastness of the Tickle French


It Is forty years since France ceded tc
Germany with bitterness of heart and
many lamentations all of Alsace and
part of Lorraine. Through that period
the efforts to Germanize the territory cut
away from France by the sword have
been gorous and unceas:ng. 1t has beer
long, unremitting campaign by the
powerful and uncompromlsing German
government to break down the French
sentiment of the "Reichsland'' and Grad
cate French customs, the French lam
yuage and French Affiliations.
Hundreds of thousands of the people of
the annexed territory have moved across
the border into France In the last forty
years, and many Germans have settled
there. Gradually the French character
istics Of the people have become less
marked and the country has grown more
reconcled to its place in the German en-
pire. And now the German imperial par

Lorraine to the federation of the empire

standing as the rest. and the use of the

Conquering the Air.
From Leslie's


The twentieth century problem is how
to conquer the air. The success of ths
aeroplane as a practical vehicle depend.
on how thoroughly this is done. As the
navigator of the water must know it,
currents, It's eddies. its obstacles and OBJ
structions, SO the aeronaut and the avi-
ator must know the currents of the air
and how to meet them. The navigator OF
the water can see by ripples ahead or by
the foaming of the surf the dangers thai
confront him. The navigator of the air
aas no warning signal whatever. He
must be prepared for instant action and
this preparation Is the one essential for
him who would conquer the air. He must
be guided largely by intuition. helped out
by quickness of eye and ear and all the
sensibilities. The successful aviator is
the one who not only has the daring to
do the risky things, but he who has In
tuition. knowledge and skill to meet the
waves and whirlpools and even SOC allied
air rocks VIII Oh confront him, without
losing his head. The reader may smile
at thought that the currents of the air.
