The last word may be considered as
spoken with regard to the arrival of the
era of air navigation as something Sc
rious and altogether outside the domain
of mere sport when so practical a gov
eminent as that OF Great Britain makes
statutes relating to the use and nonuse
of the atmosphere above the British En-
pire by foreign air craft. The statute
just enacted by Parliament gives juris-
diction in the United Kingdom to the
secretary of state for home affairs and
he has issued regulations which bar air
vessels attached to foreign armies and
navies from passing over any part of the
kingdom or its territorial waters except
upon invitation or permission of the gov
eminent, and which make it necessary
for civilians to obtain clearance papers
from British consuls before attempting
the same fight. Air navigators who Of,
fend may be fired on, and if captured
are liable to fine and Imprisonment No
more flights across the channel from
France without the full knowledge and
permission and absolutely none from
Germany without full publicity, though
Germans seem not to have attempted
anything of the kind except in the fever
ed imagination of some Britons. The reg
ulations are important, however, as
marking an era in the development of
navigation ct the air.

Frank Gritton, pressman on the night
force of the G. p. O., had a very mar
row escape from the loss of one of his
arms while at work early in the week.
While passing one of the presses in mo-
ton he slipped and in trying to save
himself from falling his hand came in
contact with the fast-working form roll
ers, and his whole arm was drawn into
the machine Examination by the Of
fee physician disclosed the fact that
while the flesh of hand and arm was
badly lacerated. no bones were broken,
and while it will be some time before
he will be able to use the injured mem
Der, he is assured by the doctor that no
permanent injury need be feared. Mr..
Gritton has been a pressman in the Of
fee for a number of years and is highly
respected by all who know him.
The following from the Utica On. "
Press in relation to the aspirations of
Albert Baker, former private secretary
to Public Printer Benedict, is the latest
in relation to the matter of a change
in the head of the G. P. o. that has
come to our notice:
Nearly thirty years ago Mr.. Baker,
then Of Norwich, typesetter employed
by a newspaper, secured a position at
the case in the Government Printing Of
fee, which was then conducted by
Thomas E. Benedict, a Cleveland ap-
pointee. The latter's observation of Mr.
Bakers work led him to advance Baker
to the foremanship and afterward to the
position of confidential secretary. When
Mr.. Benedict went out of office at the
expiration of his term, Baker went back
to setting type, but when Benedict was
later reappointed, he restored him to
the private secretaryship he had for
merry held and later promoted him to
the acting superintendency. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that during his incum-
bency of the latter office the amount of
work accomplished by the printing Office
was increased and the cost decreased
over what IT had formerly been. through
his efforts. Since 1897, when he retired
from the government service, he has
been successfully engaged in business in
New York. His qualifications for the
office speak for themselves. He is not
only practical printer, but he is
conversant with the work of
the position for which he is mentioned
because he has had practical experience
In IL. an experience during which he
proved his ability and desirability. In
. sense, his appointment would be

1t was with a proud spirit Of self-sacri-

man who had begun life as a peasant.
The German Emperor himself had in vain
tried to dissuade him from such mad
step" He turned a deaf ear to all the
threats and entreaties of his family, and
formally renounced his heirship to ST.

Prince Victor. And when he had thus
condemned himself to poverty and OBJ

Count Hans Won Hochberg. heir to the
Duchy of Rohnstock, was standing at an

Democrat and has been connected with.
and rendered valuable service to. the
State Democratic Committee for a num-
Der of years past. but. as indicated. his
friends do not base their advocacy of his
appointment on political, but rather on
practical grounds"
The President has not expressed pref
erence for any particular candidate for
the important position. Among the can
didates who are prominently mentioned
are James NJ. Lynch, head of the In
ternational Typographical Union. and a
resident of Syracuse, and Albert Baker,
a former superintendent of the Govern
ment Printing Office. Unfortunate oppo-
sition has arisen to Mr.. Lynch among
factions of unionized labor and among
politicians of the State. His qualifica-
tons, however. have not been questioned.
Judging from his other appointments,
President Wilson is likely not to be
swayed by political influence, but when
he finds the man who is, in his opinion,
big enough to fit the job he will appoint
him. That man may be Mr.. Lynch. He
may be Mr.. Baker. He may be some
one else.

High Army Testimonial.

From the Boston Transcript

geant of regulars writes to a New
York newspaper that when seeking
employment he is CURLY told that
army references don't CO." and he
has no other reference to show. His
discharge papers are marked Excel

much, but it probably means little or
nothing to the average civilian to
whom this applicant exhibits his pa
