DARIS, France, March 2I.-Cigaret
smoking by women all over the
world is so common now that few
consider it worthy of comment. The
attitude of most persons nowadays -
that cigarets made of light Turkish to
bacco are to be considered like dinner
Wines-something which may become
the basis of a vice by overuse, even as
ordinary viands may lead to gluttony.
But in Paris the women of certain
sets-and I do not mean the demimonds
are now going a step further and re-
jecting the paper covered cigaret for
the pipe and cigar.
''Why?" a friend of mine replied when
I found her with a "diplomaticO' be-
tween her teeth in her bOudoir. "Cig9r-

English FOrtify Pass
To Keep Russians From
Invading Indian Empire

Peshawur India, March 21.-With Sc
crecy. and speed unusual in public work,
English army engineers are rushing
to completion the forts and roads OF
Khybor pass, to make it a Gibraltar
against invasion from the north As
domestic unrest grows in india the
fear Of the Russian bear and the un-
ruly states between Russia and the In
dian empire increases, and England is
clearly determined not to be attacked
in the rear in the event Of native re-
belliOn.
Two years ago the road across the
famous pass was hardly more than a
trail for pack animals, but today k-hy-
Dor is traversed by two roads suitable
for the fastest and heaviest military
traction. The defensive works have
been constructed with such secrecy that
none OF the details are known to the
public It is believed that the natural
battlements formed by the cliffs above
the roads are hOneycOmbed with hidden
embrasures, behind which great noun
tain guns lie hidden. Competent en-
gineers believe that unless the defend
ing force is cut off from the south, the
pass can be defended by a small garri-
son even against a host such as the
ancient invaders Of India brought from
the north.

German Expedition to Make
Trip in Air TO Kaiser
Wilhelm Territory.
WILL FLY HIGH TO
ESCAPE THE FEVERS

n ERLIN, Germany, March 21.-An
X expedition of remarkable interest
is now being formed in Germany
to explore the Kaiser Wilhelm terri
tory in New Guinea by means Of a Par
sevaI airship.
The organizer is herr Grade. who has
had considerable experience in flight
i'm tropical countries. Herr Sizzling,
one of the Parseval company's pilots,
VIII accompany the expedition, and one
OF the English naval aviators also has
been invited to take part in IL
Believe 1t May Succeed
Apart from the Inflated W Gilman ex-
petitions. and some even more unfOr-
tunate balloon trips, there has hitherto
been no organized attempt to explore
unknown country by mears Of aircraft.
provided that the necessary funds be
raised and that the airship proves itself
amenable to a tropical climate, there
seems to be no reason why the proposed
expedition should not be highly sue
cesstul, and mark a tremendous deVel-
Opment In exploration. In this respect
the alrship is Of greater value than the
aerOplane.
One OF LarEest Islands on Earth.
New Guinea, with the exception OF
Australia, is the largest island in the
world, and IS separated from the Brit
ism colony by the Torres straits. Its
area is approximately $4,000 square
miles. of which the German portion Oc-
cupies rather more than One-fOurth.
Many portions of it are practically un-
explored. and little is known of the in
terror. owing to the dense forests, which
are continuous up to a great height,
and the vast areas OF tall and almost
impenetrable grass.
Thirty years ago there EEas not one
white man in the German territory. Fe-
yer is very prevalent even at a height
of 1000 feet, and the other obstacles to
be faced by the territorial parties have
greatly hiudered excursions into the in
terror. The mountain ranges rise TO
height of 5000 feet
Exploration by airship IS practically
the only means By which this interest
ing country can be efficiently surveyed
with due regard to the health and
safety of the exploring party.
