Upon Him.
[By United Press

LONDON, Aug. 23.-London society
and official circles today are laughing
heartily over Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer David Lloyd Georges latest
encounter with "suffragettes.' AL
thought the chancellor's tormentors
were not the real article, he got a
rare fright, and several Scotland
Yard men who winked at the hoax
have been severely reprimanded.
The suffragettes have been on
Lloyd-George trail for the past three
years and he never goes anywhere
without a bodyguard of plainclothes
men. When he received an invitation
to Wilmington Hall, Cheshire, home OF
Sir Alfred Mond. head of the British
chemical trust" he felt no hesitation
in accepting, for Sir Alfred is one OF
of the pillars of liberalism upon whom
the chancellor could depend for pro

Popular Talks on Law

unfortunate aeroaaut. But fancy
the damages resulting from a COL
lision between two giant airships of
the Zepplin type!
With the present interest sin avia-
ton and the popular encouragement
which it is receiving, the attitude OF
the lawmakers is likely to be favor
able to them as far as granting to
them the right to freely navigate the
air is concerned. Landowners are
not likely to endeavor to demand a
fee from aerOnauts passing over
their property. The legislators are
likely to grant great freedom of
passage and the courts are likely to
sustain the legislation.
But as to fixing the responsibility
for injury resulting from the opera
ton of airships, the law seems in
clined to hold the aeronaut to strict
account. If the aeronaut wishes to
take the risk of siding in the air, he
must further take all the risk of
causing injury to persons or proper
ty over which he passes. If a pass
ing airship let's fall any object which
Injuries your property you may sue
the person who is responsible for the
operation of the airship.
A few cases have already arisen in
England. A British aeronaut was
driving his aeroplane and attempted
to descend Into a field. The field
was occupied by a COW and the cow
apparently resented the appearance
of this strange object from above.
AS the aeroplane descended the COW
rushed toward it, making hostile
demonstrations. The aerOnaut en-
deavored to avoid the Infatuated bo-
vine, but was unsuccessful and her
cowship succeeded in plunging be-
meath the machine just as it reached
the earth. The results were dis
to the cow, and the sequel
came when the farmer who owned
the cow sued the aeronaut and re-
covered damages for the loss of the
cow.
The aeropIane his found its way
into the classified ad columns as we'll
as into the courts, as witnessing the
following ad which appeared in
German Newspaper:
Lost from an aeroplane, gold
watch and chain. Last seen disap-
bearing in large stack of rye on a
ield near Ulzen."
