Frederick Haskins, the syndicate
writer, says England is approaching
her tax raising power Old age pen
sions are costing 100 millions and in
surance of workmen against idleness
80 millions, and both costs are rising.
Why shouldn t they? When men find
that someone is ready to support them,
why should they work? The very fact
of this public willingness breeds in
dependence. In every town in this
country where there are large charita-
BILE funds available for certain classes
those classes increase there. There is
no royal road through this world. Man
must work for himself or fail, and the
country which undertakes to change
this natural law viii go out of ex
stence. 1t will take some time, but
the end is sure.

colleges and universities throughout
the country, but nowhere have these
been more marked than in the one

graduating class in its history. Dart

FIGHTING FROM THE SKIES
First Military Balloon

One hundred and twenty years ago
today the balloon made its first success
full appearance as an engine of war 1t
was at the battle of Fleurus during the
French Revolution. 1t was this balloon
that enabled the revolutionists TO win
the battle and subsequently establish
the French Republic. At sunrise Of this
day the huge silken bag, inflated with
hydrogen, was Juggling at its anchor
ropes in the French Republican camp.
The opening of the battle was signal
for General Morlot to climb into the
basket. The soldiers slowly let out the
cable until the balloon and aeronaut
rose high above the battlefield Beneath
him lay the enemy 5 lines in fun view.
While the balloon gently eddied in the
breeze, Morlot drew sketch of the
enemy strategic position and then
tossed it overheard in heavy hag-be-
decked package. Thus every move of
the foe was reported to the commander
in-chief on the ground below during the
| 10 hours in which the balloon remained
aloft. The commander s questions.
written out and attached to a cord that
! hung from the balloon, were hauled up
| by the aeronaut and quickly answered.
The idea of using a balloon in warfare
had been conceived, but not used, -
years before, at the siege of Gibraltar
At that time Joseph Montgolier, who
later made the world S first successful
passenger-carrying balloon, proposed
ito introduce into Gibraltar an entire
army, which, borne by the wind and a
gas, will enter right above the heads OF
the army But the siege was raised
before his idea could be demonstrated

Armed Aircrafts Today

Today airshiPS constitute one of the
most important factors in modern war
fare. All the great world powers have
equipped their armies with fleets of
aeroplanes and dirigible balloons, and
scientists are bending every energy to-
ward inventing new explosives and per-
fecting means Of hurting them from the
clouds with created accuracy. Some au-
thorities even predict that the next
great war viii be fought in the clouds
by sqaudrons of airships. Today Ameri-
can avlators are scouting over the Mex.
lean lines around Vera Cruz, and are
demonstrating their marvellous utility.
Equipped with the latest devices the
ultra modern army scout can fy over
the enemy's country, sketch or photo
graph the topography of the land below
the forts, cities and troop positions.
By wireless telegraph he can send bac k
the information to his headquarters
miles away. With the modern rapid
fire gun he can defend himself with q
stream of bullets. Or lie can drop high
explosive bombs from his long craft.
scattering death wherever it strikes
4 year ago it was reported a Mexican
rebel aeronaut dropped a bomb that
| killed - soldiers instantly If at night,
the auronaut can drop a star bomb that
explodes and sheds n lasting and
radiant light on the spot he is lowering
over. To escape from the new aerial
guns designed to fight airshiPs, the mod
ern aeronaut can drop the new German
bomb that spreads a dense, heavy pail
of smoke between earth and airship and
thus permit the aviator to escape. Or
he can drop another kind which gives
off a poisonous gas capable of killing
every living thing within loo yards
