Jules Verdrne. who left New YORK
for Paris this week, took occasion be-
fore his departure TO express astonish-
ment that the birthplace of aviation
has developed the science so little. He
said the Americans are too slow, and
rromised that he would In the near
future construct aeroplanes capable OF
flying from one hundred and fifty to
two hundred miles an hour.
The appalling death list OF
aviation imprcsses thoughtful men ano
the consensus of wise opinion is that
aeroplanes should be made safer be-
fore they are made faster OF what
avail is that bright. daring fellows
shall learn to fly If they perish as soon
as they succeed
From England comes the announce
ment that the British War Office has
suspended the use of monoplanes In
the army, because of the numerous ia
talities in the use of these speedy ma
chimes. Until this order is modified
British army aviators will use only
biplanes. The biplane is not and new

but il is more stable and safer. Their.

Recent aerial disasters in France have
been even more numerous than IN
England. The French might do wors'
than to follow the English example
and temper their rage for Increase
speed by more regard for safety.
