A LESSON IN MILITARY AVIATION FOR US.


Congress after congress has refused to make
adequate appropriations for the development of an
aviation for the nations defense. few thou
sand dollars grudgingly allowed to equip small
military force, and the United States is far behind
every other nation in its aeronautcs, although the
airship had its origin in the United States
There evidences that the men in Con-
gress who have persistently and stupidity the
way of aviation have been enlightened by the object
lessons of the European war which have taught that
the airshp is absolutely Indispensable 1t has been
made evident that the aviator is the eyes of army

THE POLITICAL BATTLE OPENS.

General Raymond will be embarrassed, too by his

That the Democratic organization presents solid
front was made evident in Tuesdays primaries and

Of the largest and most enthusiastic ever held 1t
an election campaign.
The principal attack in this campaign is to be
made on the City Hall. All the dispositions OF the

into voting the Democratic ticket The buncombe did
not work in former mayoralty campaigns but this
year people are nervous from reading the European
war and may be scared into staying away from

MILLIONS SAVED FOR AMERICA.

It is estimated by statistical authority at Wash
ngton that in way sthis country is greatly bene-
6ted by the war-that we are saving 100000 day
by the enforced return home of the American tourists
in Europe. Next year. if the war continues $4,000
900 day will be saved for much as 100 days
How will the average person who is not in the
habit of going to Europe be benefited by this saving
il may be asked In many ways. Wealth spent
abroad is wealth lost to nation. If kept in the
country, it is spent here. Two hundred millions have
immense potential power. The money can keep a
multitude of people employed in various ways. 1t
can enrich the railroads, the resorts hotel
enterprises, tradesmen and the professions II will
be much life-bood
The loss OF these millions is a hard blow for
Europe, and the gain will be immense for the United
States. Even should the European war be ended
before another summer, the outflow of tourists to
Europe will be comparatively small. Europe will
have little attraction then for American travellers
and with many thousands the habit will have been
cured

The educational policy of the gov
eminent of India is naturally con-
trolled by many local conditions. Far
more important, however. than the
variation of the social and religious
environment of the children are the
two facts that the child population is
vast and that funds are limited.
These hit primary education more
heavily than any other part, of the
work. 1t is quite impossible to grant
free education and equslly Impossible

the time has not yet arrived when 1t

She was left an orphan when very
young, and although brought up by
a nd-hearted aunt she lacked many
OF the advantages and associations
of childhood. She was early marked
by striking beauty and was married
when she was twenty-one to a Uni
tartan minister, Mr.. Gaskell, whose
name was irnmortalized by her works
and with whom she lived in complete
happiness.
AS Is often the case, Mrs. Gaskell's
serious literary work was the result
of sorrow. Her only son died in his
youth, and she turned in this be-
reavement to her husband for his
advice He knew she enjoyed writ

finding publisher for several short

her to take up writing as a means of

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Why Gen. Dix Was Mad Secretary of the Treasury

The late lie Grand b. Cannon was
one of the wealthy citizens of New
York who Became prominently
identified with the organization Of
volunteer regiments at the outbreak
Of the Civil War. He was associated
with General John r. Wool. who
carly N 1861 was placed in com
mand of the military district OF
which New York city WAS the.
centre. After General Wool was
transferred to Fortress Monroe
Colonel Cannon, as member of his
staff, served with him at that point.
In his later years Colonel Cannon
was fond of narrating some of his
experiences in Civil War days and In
the period just prior to the outbreak
Of hostilities. He was one of the
founders of the Union League Club
in New York, and he frequently
gathered around him members of the
club, to whom he narrated. wirh

of manner and with a singularly ap-
propriate narrative style, some of the
anecdotes associated with his earlier
experiences.
Upon the walls of the Union
League Club Colonel Cannon had
caused to be placed certain me-
MORALS of General John A. Dix, ana
one day while chatting with his
friends his eye happened to fall upon
one of these quaint enblazonrles,
and he said.
81 suppose there are very few per-
sons who know how and why Cen
eral Dix became secretary Of the
treasury near the close of the admin
istration OF President Buchanan. At
the time General Dix became Secre-
tary of the treasury the general pre-
sumption was that it was because of
his fine record as soldier and his
vigorous declaration in favor of
maintaining the Union at any cost.
But the real reason for his selec-
ton was different from that ascribed
by the public. In the early part of
the last year Of President Buchan-
ans administration Philip +. Thomas,
who WAS secretary of the treasury,
went from Washington to New York
to see If he could secure from the
New York bankers a loan of $4,000, 600
for the federal government. Thomas
was ready to make any terms. He
