PARIS, Sept. An interesting inven-
tion-a propeller -sledge-is about to be
tested in tho Sahara The results already
obtained have been so successful that It
promises, In It's perfected form, TO super
sede the camel and the aeroplnue as a
means Of rapid transport across the
desert.
The Idea originated with Corporal Me-
chanic Cros OF the military aviation
center at Biskra, in Algeria. In the form
OF SledSe driven by n sixty horsepower
aeroplane motor, capable of carrying three
persons and of travelling easily over sand
dunes with gradient of orte in five at
a speed OF twelve to twenty miles an
hour. The original idea OF Corporal Cros
was to construct a sedge to convey aero
planes In the desert across the sand dunes
OF the Grand Erg. which had hitherto
been impassablc TO every vehicle. whether
the traction was mechanical or animal.
IT has proved so successful, however.
that 1t is question whether 1t will not
prove means OF rapid communication
across the Sahara. The use OF the aero
plane across the desert after two years
OF labor has not passed out of the on
perimeptal stage, The preliminary ex-
periments made with the propeller sledge
will be continued. and the officers of tho
aviation center at BisSra propose to i'm
prove 1t by the use of lifting planes,
which will enable II To clear obstacles
Just as a hen clears IL hedge.

more from bis articles than from scores
of political editorials in the German

The Vital Question.

The question is then this: Has the
government really the support OF the ma
jority of voters behind ii when It pre-
pares to grant the demand OF the Irish
for home rule? This Is by no means GER
tain-for one must not forget for a mo-
ment the chasm of III will, hatred, dis
trust and contempt which for centuries
has separated the people OF the two
Islands. 1t Will be interesting to see not
only IL the present government be strong
enough to carry tho present fight TO an
end. but also II it will dare TO do so with
out a fresh appeal TO the voters to indorse
this policy.
At all events. 1t Is an exceedingly in
teresting. though uncanny situation in
English politics which has been created
by the determined resistance of Ulster
to home rule. situation which seems to
show that very long time may still
elapse before the people of Ireland get
the independence they have been signing
for through many generations.

Liberals Not So Strong.

In regard to this question, the position
Of the liberal government IS not quite as
strong as II would like to have 1t ap
pear.
The Unionlsts assert that the last gen.
eral election was fought, not on the
issue OF homo rule, but on the question Of
the constitutional power OF the house of
lords, There is a grain OF truth In this
assertion, for although the leader Of the
Tories In the house OF lords, Lord Lans-
downe, in the midst Of the campaign en-
phasiZed that Asquith clearly intended to
