uon lies IN the terrific speed. AT
IFS to $50 miles an hour a mono
plane up 1000 or 5000 feet is an
elusive target.
The Italians have given the war
plane its only real test, against
the Turks, and the ease with
which they drop bombs into
camps and troops proved the air
fighters efficiency.
But bombs, even the most pow
erful, are not effective against
modern forts. Their destructive
radius is too limited.
The most effective weapon is
liquid fire. A gasolene bomb
which bursts into flame upon i'm
pact is. the terrible weapon pro-
posed for the aerial navy. A rain
of these would quickly destroy
city.
Equipped with a noiseless en-
CINE, which is the next forward
step, with searchlight flashing

poor target, while battleship,
cruiser or unprotected city lies at
its mercy.
The great value of the sky
squadron lies in its mobility. 1t

LARGEST WAlNUTS.
So Man from Iowa Says-But We
Call Them BY Another Name.

Call Them BY Another Name.
Contractor l.. +. Lee was not born
in the cinnamon seed land of the
sunny south. On the contrary he
first gazed upon the beautiful rays
of rising sun as their splendor
was reflected from the snow clad
wastes of Iowa.
Coming as he does from the land
which is first in snow and corn
as well as in wrestlers, he can tell
that cotton is not corn, but there
are a number of other things which
grow and thrive under the genial
rays of a southern sun, the names
of which he wotteth not.
Being a building contractor, than
whom there is none better, he can SIT
by the hour and talk entertainingly
of the merits of reinforced constrnt :
ton. He can tell you, in sentences
as well rounded as were those OF the
most perfect epics OF the dead and
gone poets, of dead and gone ages,
all the merits and demerits of this
make of brick as against that and
he can calculate to the hundredth
part of a drachm the carrying Ca
Sacity or the textile strength CT a
steel girder. He can do all this, but
for the life of him he cannot tell an
Oklahoma bois dare apple from an
Iowa walnut.
Coming from Bromide yesterday,
while passing through the hardwood
section of country between that place
and this city, Mr.. Lee, so it is said
had-spasms of delight over the vast
crops of gigantic walnuts, hanging
in Elberta- like clusters from the
branches of the parent trees. These
aforesaid "walnuts" were, in truth,
bois dare apples.
To all of the foregoing and above
/ Judge r. A. Hefner and Contractor
| John S. Owens, who were with Mr..
Lee yesterday, are willing to make
supporting affidavits.

the practice, although not illegal, seems
to be against public policy. The interest
of the Attorney General in the case arises
from the fact that there is possibility
that either the Sherman law or the ma

the collection of varying charges and the
favorng of one section of the country
against another.

BY MEXICAN REBELS
Maj. Rice Requests Additional
U. S. Troops for PaIomos,

Mexican rebels concentrating at Pa
Tomas. Mexico, contemplate attacking
United States forces opposite that place
tonight, in the opinion of Maj. Sedgwick
Rice, commanding a detachment Of the
Sd United States Cavalry there. He has
requested Gen. Steever to send reinforce
ments. Maj. Rice says there are about
i. 100 rebels now there. Gen. Steever in
reporting Maj. Rice's dispatch to the War
Department says he does not take the
majors view seriously, and has informed
him that troops cannot be spared. How
ever. should il be demonstrated that the
rebels have such an idea in mind, troops
will be sent there immediately.
The War Department has wired Gen.
Steever to rush any responsible inforIns-
ton he can collect regarding the de-
signs of the rebels at Palomas and
elsewhere along the border.
The view of War Department Off,
Gals is that Orozco intends to follow
the border line closely on his march
toward Sonora This. the officers be-
lieve will serve a double purpose. IL
Will allow the smuggling OF small
OF arms and ammunition, which
the army men believe possible because
of the vast extent of the line. Then,
further. IL the rebels are hard pressed
by the federals they will prefer to cross
the line into the United States and
surrender rather than be taken pris-
oners by the Mexican federals.
