ENGLAND WORRIED
BY GERMAN AIRSHIPS
John Bull Is Stfaining Every Nerve
to Keep Up With Germany
and France

Dreadnaughts of the air will play as
great part in deciding the issue of the
next War as the Dreadnaughts of the sea;
ana II is because they wish to impress
this fact on the mind of the man In the
street that certain people have been so
loud in their denunciation of the war Of
flee for paying e1S,00O for an airship
three years ago, and afterwards making
no practical use of it, says Tit-Bits We
may nave a fleet of aeroplanes, they say
put we must also compete with France
and Germany in the matter of airships
and, judging from the extraordinary eff
forts which Germany is making at the
present time to perfect her fleet of air.
shlps' IL Is obvious that she considers
they are as essential as war vessels for
the maintenance of her power.
In the matter of airships Germany at
the present time easily stands first in
the world. They possess % dirigibles of
the rigid type, and by the end of the
present year will have 32. And it is sig
nlfleant that the Zeppelin company, which
now turns out an airship every three
weeks, hopes to be in a position at the
end of six months to double this output.
says an expert in the News of the World
Germany pins her faith to the rigid type
OF alrshfp, and considers it by far the
pest for war purposes. So convinced are
they of this that when we tried TO b,lv a
rigid airship some time ago the German
government vetoed the order, although
they allowed us to purchase a Parsiyai. A
non-rigid vessel
Some facts regarding sthe capa Utilities OF
German air dreadnoughts given by the
expert already mentioned provide an Illus
tration of their deadliness in time of war
Before an airship is accepted by the Ger
man government 1t must have done a trial
trip of continuous 1850 miles at a speed
of so miles an hour. AS a matter of fact
lS vessels now in commission have a
range of 20o0 miles. They can carry six
tons of explosives, and at the present
time are practicing with apparatus which
can direct bombs of dynamite weighing
half ton apiece. Which means to saw
that couple of these air dreadnoughts
could utterly destroy town or army, un-
less they We're first destroyed. In addi-
tion to explosives, however, each dirigible
carries heavy quick firing guns
Hangers capable of holding the largest
air vessels are being constructed. 1.-THE
later types of hangers are built on turn
tables, so that there is no difficulty in
docking, or taking the airship out on a
strong wind. The latest type at present
being constructed in Heligoland is such
turntable hangar which sinks into a
pit, so that its heavily armored roof is
flush with the ground. In addition, all
over Germany there are erected iron tow
ers as anchorages.
These towers are built with revolv-
ing tops, SO that the airships can ride in
softly, no matter how the wind changes
The towers are built close to hydrogen
stations. 1t is interesting to note that
one such tower is built on the Austrian
frontier, two on the Russian, three on the
French and eight on the North sea coast,

Justice Campbell's Tribute
Judge E. *. Campbell, chief justice of
the court of claims, from Washington,
who has been an intimate friend and
counselor for Mr.. lsnslen during many
years, was a speaker at the affair yester-
day and this tribute from Mr.. Campbell is
considered a very expressive and deserved
one to Mr. Enslen:
The occasion of reaching the highest
point in the construction of this great
building is certainly time for congratu-
latlon to those having 1t in charge and to
the people Of Birmingham. The occasion
has a personal interest to me not only
because of my long connection with the
Jefferson County Savings bank, whose
name the building will bear, but also be-
cause recalling the early history of this
bank I remember that in 1885 | was con-
neeted with the law office In Birming-
nam, where the Jefferson County Savings
pank began Us corporate existence, and 1
have been More or less intimately con-
nected with 1t ever since,
u have watched it, ri,oy TIL; have seen
it in times OF propsperr5y bud have seen
1t in times of panic, and no better tribute
to its management or its suecesA can be
given than this building Will itself afford.
Time would -ail me to recount its history.
but I think the occasion pertinently sug-

this enterprise, as back Of every good en-
terprise, is the character of a man. In
these days OF large development and big
business AMI corporate affairs we are apt
to forget that back of each and all Of
them is some individual mind thought and
action. We are too prone, think, to de-
spise the day of small things And so
While felicitating ourselves on this great
of this band, who conceived it and whose
energy has brought it to it's present stage,
| would say a Few words about the foun-
der of the Jefferson County Savings bank,
because in my judgment it is he that made
possible this occasion.

CHINESE REPUBLIC is NOT
SURPRISING OPIUM HABIT
Associated Press.

London, Aug. 13.-The report Of
Sir j. N. Jordan, British minister to
China, ON the opium question indi-
Gates that there has been some back
sliding in the effort to suppress. the
cultivation of the poppy since the in
PRODUCTION of the republican regime.
The report declares that since the
fall of the Manchus the policy of sup
preston agreed upon between China
and Great Britain has been weaken
ed, and that there has been an i'm
mense recrudescence in the cultiva-
ton of the drug. In the provinces of
Anhui, Human and Shantung the
campaign for the suppression of the
cultivation of the plant has been sue
cessful, and in consequence the i'm
portation of Indian opium into these
provinces will cease. But investiga-
tion in other parts of the republic
tells different tale. In many of the
provinces the authorities are power
less to prevent cultivation; in others
there is collusion between the powers
and the growers, and in still others
the officials are not inclined to de-
prive themselves of a rich source of
revenue.
The reports, however, are not all
from official sources, many being
supplied by missionaries and trav-
elers, so exact figures are impossible.
The minister concludes with the
statement that a great deal must be
done before the work of suppression
can be considered as complete.

BRITISH EEDICS MAY
BECOME LABOR UNION

London, Aug. 13.-The British
Medical association. at its annual
meeting, seriously debated the advis-
ability of organizing as a labor union.
Recently the official organ of the
association was mulcted for heavy Ii
bel damages for calling a practitioner
quack. lnsomuch as, under a recent
decision of the British courts the
funds of a labor union cannot be
touched for such damages. the doc
tors felt that the reorganization of
their association into a labor union
would not be without certain advant-
ages.
The British Medical association in
its recent strike against the provf-
sions of the compulsory state in
surance act emulate1 the tactics OF
labor unionists, but in spite of the
reputed higher mentality of its mem
bers, it suffered defeat on account OF
a lack OF solidarity, just as many OF
Its humber exemplars have
Following in the footsteps of the
doctors, the police are contemplating
the formation cf n labor union to be
called the Amalgamated Society of
Policemen. Letters appear every
week in the police organ, citing
grievances and suggesting the forma-
ton of union as the first step to-
wards their correction. The chief de-
mand is for maximum police salary
of ten dollars week, and one CORE
spondent suggests that, as the police
have to enforce fair play in the labor
disputes of others. they should have
little difficulty in enforcing their own
demands. One writer hinted that Il
might go badly with the public If the
police struck for their rights. One
of the chief worries of the police is
due to the suffragettes whose activ.
tiles have added greatly to their ov-
ertine, for which they get no extra
pay. Recently the force has been in
creased in order to give longer vaca-
tons, but the men feel that their lot
is still cast in hard places.

troll OF the buying agencies, is en-
aDled to bear" the wool market and
practically dictate the price it will

growers are catching on" TO the tao

the following telegram which ap-
peared in Denver paper q few days

The fact is this tariff on raw wool
is one of the fakes used by the real
beneficiaries of high protective tar
III to pull the WOOL over the eyes
of the American farmer. 1t Is OF a
piece with the tariff on wheat and
potatoes and cabbages. None of
these tariffs affect the prices paid
the farmer for his products. He is
always selling in free trade market
but he doesn't know 1t.
He knows the tariff increases the
price OF everything he buys, and It
is not hard to persuade him that 1t
will increase the price of everything
he sells He forgets that the things
he buys are produced by manufac-
turers who find IL easy to combine

full level of the tariff wall, while he
and his fellow farmers never think OF

ducts in competitive markets and re-
ceiye the prices fixed by the law OF

A Needed Object Lesson.
The democratic party has placed
wool and wheat, and many OF the
other products of the farm and range
on the free list, not because 1t
wishes to injure the farmer or the
sheep man, but because 1t wants them
to know that their prosperity is not
dependent on high protective tar
If once you get the farmer to un-
derstand that these protectionists
have been fooling him-that when
he buys in a protected market, and
that when he sells he sells In free
trade market-the temple OF protec-
tion will be deprived of most of its
foundation stones.
A rather striking Illustration OF
the way the tariff affects the farmer
was given in the United States senate
