RADIUS OF ACTION.

For a commander TO send an air craft
on a trip OF 1000 miles from its base"
saws The Sphere" would be folly II
the vessels radius OF action were only
800 miles II could certainly travel the
100 miles, but then it would come to A
dead stop. leaving il probably al the
mercy OF the enemy"
The aeroplane, for instance. has much
greater elevation powers than the dirigi-
Bile. Ii can climb 10 1900 feet. and then
its endurance is about exhausted. The
Zeppelin can rise TO 10000 feet and then
travel for twenty hours at that elevation
The dir. .ible has an average speed OF
forty miles an hour. against the seventy
five miles an hour OF the aeroplane. But
no aeroplane loaded with the required
weight Of guns and ammunition has yet
travelled at a speed greater than sixty
miles an hour. This is he speed of the
Zeppelins now being built
The aeroplane that runs short of fuel
falls TO earth But when a dirigibe has
no more fuel it becomes mere balloon.
To rely on local supplies in time OF war
would be foolish. and II would be mad
ness TO run too far over the enemy.
This is the reason the Zeppelin is being
built larger. IL can then carry enough
fuel to enable il to run 500 to 100 miles
into the enemys country and return
without alighting.
A vessels range of action must, there
fore be defined most conservatively, more
especially as strong opposing winds may
lead TO the abnormal consumption OF fuel
While We are on the subject of aero
planes. the British army man@uvres Of
last fall should not be forgotten The
aviators on both sides threw all the plans
of the commanding generals into confu-
sion and brought the war game TO
standstil.
The air scouts were so active and so
alert that it proved impossible To keep

no danger 10 itself
IAN this means simply the abolition VI
infantry and cavalry and the end of land
war as we now know il"
The London sphere thoroughly
aroused. devotes much space in its cur
rent issue TO a technical explanation Of
the great lead that Germany has achieved
in military and naval aeronautics.
The term radius Of action is usually
employed in wrong sense when applied
to aerial vessels. that journal points out
At present air craft are practicable only
for naval and military purposes, and thus
we must take the strategic meaning or
the phrase radius OF action
This is the maximum distance vessel
can travel from its base and still have
fuel for It's return Journey. II an airship
makes a run OF 1000 miles from its base
and then has TO stop for fresh fuel and
stores its real range Of action is only 90
miles In other words. The proper DENIM
ton of the term is half the total distance
which a vessel can travel with its maxi

before tho gum were fired.
This is very recent instance of the

what might be termed the impotency Of

VETERANS AT GETTYSBURG
C0nfederates and Federals Are All En-
thusiastic Over The July
Celebration

What will be the greatest me-
mortal ever held on any battle field
will occur at Gettysburg on the first
three days of next July. Forty thous-
and veterans, from every state in the
Union, are expected, of whom upward
of fifteen thousand will come from the
South. The occasion is the fftieth an
niversary of the battle.
A meeting was recently held in
Philadelphia of representatives of
two-thirds of all the states to arrange
many of the details for this memoir
able celebration. / have talked with
some Of the former Confederate off
GERS about the coming reunion, and
they seem to be fully as enthusiastic
as are the Northern veterans.
The great reunion will not be
confined to survivors of Gettysburg it
self. When various states and the ma
tlonal government made appropria-
tons to defray the expenses of the old
soldiers who will attend the ceremon-
les on the great field, it was express
ly stipulated that all old soldiers are
| to be welcomed.
Unless present plans go astray, the
corner stone of the Peace Monument
will be laid on July 1. This will be, so
far as the North is concerned, the final
touch for the memorable field.
1t is proposed to locate this monu-
ment perhaps midway between High
Tide Monument and the spot where
Picket's men came over the crest on
their grand assault the third day of
the battle.
General Lees equestrian statue will
crown the ridge, where he stood and
watched Pickett's men make their final
charge. Hence, the Peace Monument
will probably be about half way be-
tween Lee, on the one side, and the
spot where Hancock fell, on the other

THE WHITE MANS GREED HURTS
THE RED MAN

Under the heading "The White
Mans Greed Hurts the Red Man."
there appeared in the Dayton MONT
Leader a pitiful story of the harm
caused by drink to the Camas Prairie
Indians and their chief. These Indians
live in beautiful valley and, until
they acquired the liquor habit, were
rich and prosperous. As the direct re-
suit of the use of intoxicating liquor,
death has come to full score of them,
and blood curdling tales might be told
of the tragedies thus occasioned among
these otherwise peaceful citizens.
The story is as follows: "Sub-chief
Michel of the Camas Prairie Indians,
who was convicted OF bootlegging and
sentenced to serve time was pardoned
last week by President Taft. The In
dian has aged greatly during the past
eight years, and today is an object of
pity. Twelve years ago he was a fine
specimen, big, tall and stately in his
bearing. Thirteen years ago he was
friendly, happy and contented. At
that time he was reported to be worth
100000. His business brought him in
contact with white men who were not
averse to giving him liquor which,
with false friends, has brought about
his downfall. The white mans Booze
has ruined this Indian as it does the
whites. The government acted prop
erly in prohibiting its use in reserva-
tions or its sale or gift to the Indian"
