Pie has not vanished off the gusta-

to 5000 pies a day. 1t is the best Die
town In the United States.
Out IN Chicago a representative of
the Chicago Pie Company succeeded in
escaping a proposed $500 increase in
his tax assessment by declaring that pie
is losing its hold on { d. American peo-
pie. But such a statement would not
go well here. The capital OF the pie
belt Is the National Capital.
washington has been known for
years to the trade as the best pie town
in the United States" said the manager
OF the Connecticut Pie Company. In
proportion to population. bakers sell
more pies than any other city in the
country, probably in the world
Washington is the best pie town in the
bolt not because there is an extraordi-
nary ayidity for pie here, but probably
because more pastry is bought and less
baked at home here than elsewhere.

End Of a Myth of the Sea.

From the New York World.
Near the first anniversary of the sink
ing of the Titanic are two events strongly
reflective of the influence of that men,
Orable disaster for greater safety in
ocean travel. The huge Vaterland,
launched yesterday at Hamburg, will
carry eghty-three lfeboats, and seventy
of these can be launched from either side
of the ship and can accommodate the
whole capacity of the vessel in human
freight. No list of the ship can put out
of commission half the boats.
The reconstructed Olympic starts on it's
first voyage with an outer shell to take
the force and damage of such glancing
blow as wrecked the Titanic and leave
an inner shell to keep it afloat. 1t was
held unsuitable before this reconstruc-
ton. 1t is now called unsuitable, but
carries more than double its old number
of lifebOats in Difference to the truth of
bitter experience as against the claims of
marine architects. So passes a modern
myth of the sea. There is no such thing
as an unsuitable ship. But at what cost
TO human life has the illusion been shat
tered!

A German Airship in France.

Probably brisk exchange Of diplomatic
dispatches between Germany and France
will result from the accidental landing
of the German military dirigible Zeppelin
w in French territory. The incident Is
precisely Of the kind to appeal strongly
to the French sentiment regarding the
possibility of German invasion. and woe
betide the government at Paris if it does
not vigorously resent in official repre-
sensations to Berlin the indiscretion of
the officers who took the Zeppelin over
the Vosges mountains on her official trial
trip 1t would seem from the dis
patches that the German airship sailed
over at least 100 miles of French terri
tory before it came to land The excuse
eiven was that the big balloon was
caught in strong currents that rendered
1t somewhat unmanageabIe and the pilot
lost his way in the clouds and did not
realize that he was travelling over France.
1t is also claimed that when the landing
became necessary, owing to the fuel sup
ply running low, the pilot believed he
was bringing the dirigible to ground on
the German side of the frontier and
made the rather ludicrous blunder of mis-
taking a couple of maneuvering cavalry
squadrons for German soldiery. Fortu-
nately for the German officers en- the
dirigihle no photographs or maps of any
kind were found to suggest the posi-
bility that this was spying trip. OF
course. the German government has no
need to undertake the mapping of France
by airship. There is probably at this
time in the war office at Berl n a series
of detailed mans of every SQUARE ,ot of
French territory. including the location
of every fortress and arsenal. just as
France doubtless has a complete know
edge Of German military conditions and
topography 1t may be that the German
dirigible was allowed to drift over tn,
vosges knowingly with the idea OF seeing
