Republicans for Wilson.

Last week the editor of the
New York Press sent private let
tiers to Republican voters, selected
at random from readers on its
mail subscription lists, and not
living in New York City or other
large cities. The main part of
the letter was:
For which of the following do
you intend to vote: Taft, Wilson
or RooseveltY
Are you in favor of the plan
proposed by the former President
of breaking up the present Re-
publican party and forming a new
onel For whom did you vote in
19O89
"Of the 1000 first replying,
virtually all voted for Mr.. Taft
four years ago. Of the 1000 re-
plying, 442 said they would vote
for Mr.. Taft this year, 1856 for
Mr.. Roosevelt, 1872 for Mr.. Will
son and 81 said they would not
vote at all or were undecided.
Most of those declaring they
would vote for Mr.. Wilson, gave
as their reason their disgust with
Republican factionalism. Some
were voting for him as the surest
way, in their judgment, to defeat
the Colonel and prevent him from
breaking up the Republican party.
Some of those in the not-voting
class said they might vote for Mr..
Taft or Mr.. Wilson if it became
necessary, in their judgment, to
do this to prevent the Colonel
from breaking up their party.
Some of those recording them
selves for Mr.. Taft lamented his
nomination, but would vote for
him to prevent the Colonel from
breaking no their party.

URGES STUDY OF TREES
Clifford Pinchot Advises Boy

Age and Size.

Clifford Pinchot, chief scout forester of
statement for the Boy Scouts, showing
how they may learn the age of tree
and how to gain practical information in
their trips through the wood. In this
statement Mr.. Pinchot appeals to the
boys to cooperate with the foresters,
saying that it Is duty which the boys
owe to their country. He says in his
statement:
IF you can get into the woods where
cutting is going on. even if it is only of
small stuff for firewood, l suggest that
YOU do this: Count the rings OF growth
on the stump of tree, first making sure
what kind of tree ii is. Count the rings
from the center outward. Each ring
means a year in the life of the tree. and
of the tree Then measure the thickness
of the tree across the stump.
IF the tree has not yet been worked
up into logs or into tirewood you can
easily measure its height by running a
tape line, or piece of string from the
butt Of the first log to the top of the
crown. adding the height of the stump.
If YOU make several of these stem
analyses OH trees Of different sizes and
then compare the results you will find
out many interesting things about how
that kind of tree grows; for example,
1t is young. fastest in diameter when it
is older, and that later on in life diameter
growth falls o.. and height growth is
very, very slow.

A WESTERN ROMANCE.
Jealousy, Love and Heroism
Plains of Great Southwest.

Stalking the Sheriff is the name Of q
cracking good western story, which is
made the leader tomorrow in our Sunday
Magazine. II is typical tale of the
great southwest. written by Bailey Mil
lard who is westerner. by birth and liv-
ing and preference. and knows all about
the subject The sheriff was in love with
a cha rming western girl who lived in the
neighborhood. but it happened that fine
strapping chap was also enamored Of
Pearl, and seemed to have the inside
track. The sheriff's opportunity came
when THE young, man got into sort of
brawl, which resulted in the sudden
death of one of the party. The rival was
the obvious victim, and the sheriff was
quick witted enough to embrace the op
por;unity to get him out of the way.
So the latter, through lot of testi-
mony. real and cooked up. was put into
prison for Ions sentence. But finally
he was able to escape-and then began
the stalking of the dishonest sheriff
What makes the situation unusually in
teresting is that Pearl would not permit
her real lover to do any slaughtering.
How everything came out properly ac-
cordinc to Sunday Magazine standards
is what gives the tale its real drama,
and makes it worthy OF first place in our
next issue.

Washingtonians to Be Treated
to Flying This Summer.
PRACTICE ON THE RIVER
War Department Plans to Put Two
Hydro Aeroplanes on the Potomac.
Also Selects Barracks.

Washingtonians generally. and Congress
in particular. will have a chance this
summer to see more OF aviation than
formerly without going to College Park
The War Department Is buying two new
hydro-aeroplanes that will be placed on
the Potomac river and will convert two
more of the machines now at College
Park into water machines. There will be
new flying center established, probably
al the Washington barracks. and the
army aviators who now handle the ma
chimes at College Park will be given a
course in water flying. The new station
may be used also for training the student
aviators.
The Signal Corps will buy two new
water machines. One of these will be a
Wright and the other Curtiss. OF the
machines at College Park, the standard
Wright probably will be converted for
water flying and the same will be done
with the new Curtiss recently purchased.
Field Suited for Practice.
The field at the barracks is exceliently
suited for hydro-aeroplane station.
There is a very fair flying field in the
big drill ground, and the junction of the
grounds gives stretch of several miles
Of water that normally is ideally smooth
for flying.
1t is possible that after the new sta
ton is esta blished there will be flying
at the barracks in the morning end at
College Park in the afternoon. 1t is likely
that most of the student aviators will
be given their preliminary training flights

Report of German Exhibit.
There has just been issued by the bu-
reau OF manufactures, Department of
Commerce and Labor. a report from
Consul General A. NJ. Thackara, at Ber-
lin. giving an account of the aeroplane
exhibition held there in April. The re-
port goes into many interesting technical
details as 10 motors and new machines.
One Of the important points that have
been developed by the German manu-
facturer is the use of a built-up wood
tube that is reported to be both stronger
and lighter than solid wood for any sort
OF construction.
The same pamphlet contains an inter-
esting report from Consul T. j. Albert of
Brunswick, Germany. on the status of
the airship industry in that country. He
says the aeroplane and the dirigible are
not making the popular progress that
was at first hoped. because the public
is still afraid to trust itself in the air
The government is supporting the in
dustry, and the chief output of the sew
eral aeroplane and balloon factories is
absorbed for military use.

Was fairly representative of the attitude
of the people OF this country. although

States instigated the secession and then
refused TO permit the Colombian govern
ment TO put IL down. The government
repeatedly has asked the United States
10 arbitrate the controversy. and the
United States has just as often refused
asserting that the matter at issue Is po-
iitical and not legal and that no govern
ment Is wiling TO submit political ques-
ton TO arbitration.
Meanwhile the Colombian government
protests that il was deliberately despoiled
OF its territory in violation OF the well
recognized principles OF Internal onal law
II asserts that the Unitedr States nego-
t.ated treaty with Colombia for the
acquisition of the rights necessary to
the building of the Panama canal and
its operation after completion. agreeing
that the treaty should not become effec-
until after ratification by the two
governments. Ii further asserts that

Secretary Hay always firmly denied that
the United States had had anything to
