International Cup Yacht Race.

With the American national spirit in
famed to the war point a great many
things are being reported which. though
they now attract slight attention. would
in happier and auieter moments be
viewed with considerable interest. One
of these items is that which recounted
the launch at Bristol, Il. l.. of the cen
terboard sloop Resolute. the first OF the
three America cup defense candidates
to take the water. The printed promise
is that the Resolute will be rugged with
all possible expedition and that she may
be called on to show her sailing quail
ties this week The international cup
races have always attracted the notice
and interest of the reading population of
the world and excitement over them has
been acute in the United States and
England The interest in these races
has never been confined to yachting or
sporting circles but has enthused men
and women who have never felt a salt
breeze or been aboard a racing yacht or
other boat. Preparations for this classic
international sailing race are going
ahead and the hope is that. war threats
passed, the population Of the whole
country may fix its attention on this
on the international polo contest for
which teams OF riders are training. on
base bali and on vacation instead Of on

Scotch Heather Serving Trays
Are Absolutely New and
Beautiful.

Serving Trays are useful in so
many ways that their popularity
never lessons. Therefore to in
troduce anything that is original,
decidedly different and unusual
has been difficult.
The assortment we have lust
received embraces all these points,
and shows how we'll the makers
have co-operated with US in our
effort to procure the newest
things first. The attractiveness
and the daintiness of these new
Trays is found in the center
which is glass over brightly col
orel Scotch heather, and wild
flowers with many-hued butter
flies in their natural state. The
frames are Of nickel, some Of
them in the pierced open-work
design, handled and finished with
rubber feet to prevent marring

round and oval shapes. As a
dainty wedding gift or for use

cially desirable.

Military Aviation.

The navy aviators. as it was confidently
prophesied they would are proving the
value of their service. The immense pos
sibi!ites of the flying machine, whether
aeroplaHe or hydroplsne. have been rec

Mediation in Mexico.

From the New York World.
To accept mediation and at the same
time deliver an ultimatum Is most unu-
sual. President Wilson agrees to media
tion between this country and those who
now claim to represent our sister Repub-
lie Of Mexico" but, as heretofore, he bars
Gen. Huerta. While mediation is thus to
be attempted only upon terms which put
Huerta's acceptance beyond understand
ing, there will be general approval Of the
Presidents courteous response to the rep
resentatives of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile who propose 1t. These gentlemen
speak for great and growing nations, all
Of which, like ourselves, have refused to
recognize Gen. Huerta. If they proceed
upon the lines laid down by the Presi-
dent, they will address Gen. Huerta not
with plans of mediation, but with re-
monstrances and admonitions. Although
it may do no good to warn the dictator
of the dangers which confront him, no
harm can come from the effort. for our
military plans will proceed without inter-
ruption.

portunity to read the position Of the
army. The aeroplanc is capable of doing in
an hour what cavalry and scouts could not
do in a day. and perhaps could not do at
all. In artillery target practice in France,
and 1t is believed to some extent in this
country at Fort Riley and at the school
of fire at Fort Sill the aeroplane has been
used for securing quick adjustment in
indirect fire. promptly reporting shorts
and overs. the necessary addition or sub
traction in DETECTION and required changes
in the distribution difference. the obser-
walton being communicated to the officer
conducting the fire by means of weighted
cards dropped in rear of the guns.
For obtaining information and for OBJ
serving fire the heavier than-air machine
has demonstrated it's capacity. AS an
agent of direct offense it has not yet
proved itself, though it was reported that
a Bulgarian aviator dropped bombs into
the outworks OF Adrianople and that
Italian airmen dropped them within the
Arab lines in the Tripolitan desert But
the dropping of bombs on land, in high
military opinion. does not count for very
much There is some moral effect, but
the physical effect Is too local. The
aeropiane a1r-cooled automatic gun was
tried out at College Park and is being
experimental with In Europe. In the
news of the day Admiral Fletcher has re-
ported that flying machine scouts report
ed that at Boca and Antigua they dis
covered federal soldiers and found the
Antigua bridge intact, that the railroad
was torn up 200 yards on each side of the
bridge that soldiers were seen in the
vicinity Of Saumora. that fires were
burning along the railroad track to
Jalapa. that the railroad bridges at
Rico Moreno and at Boca Del Rio were
burning and that no soldiers were seen
south of Vera Cruz.
Here is an example of what flying ma
can do.

Ohio.

In The Sunday Stars special corre-
spondence from Columbus the Ohio sen
atorial question was entertaininsly dis
cussed.
At present Mr.. Foraker is the likelest
man for the republican nomination. There
are three candidates he by far the best
known.
The former senator is man who
strongly attracts and as strongly repels.
In word. he is strong man. He
moves without hesitation. and then
swiftly. and makes his objective very
plain. Should he win his party's nomi-
nation and then the election. the repub-
leans in the Senate would be reinforced
by one of the most brilliant debaters in
the country. and at time when such a
gift counts in that body at the highest.
Moreover so recent has been Mr.. Fora
ker's participation in public affairs. sew
eral of the questions in hand when he
was in the Senate are still in hand. and
will be after March next. A veteran
therefore familiar with the field. would
return to duty

cratic nomination, not one Of them.
however. of national consequence. For
side the state-or was some years ago
but cannot be classed with Mr.. Foraker.
Rather droli- feature of the demo-
cratic contest is the point made against
one of the candidates that in 1896 he
was gold democrat
How long ago that seems. And what
strange objection at this time. Surely
those urging it cannot be altogether
serious .a...
Why at that time. and until much
later time. Woodrow Wilson was criti-
disable. and was criticised as a god
democrat. Indeed, strictly speaking. he
is a gold democrat today. Is not Mr..
Bryan himself one? Where may a silver
democrat be found? The country is on
gold basis. and prospecting on it. Mr.
Bryan would not accept nomination for
the presidency now on platform de-
clarins for the free coinage of silver at
IS TO l as an independent act by this
country.
The democrats who repudiated their
party's platform in 1896 did so immedi-
ately after its PRONUNCIATION. They did
not desire success on it, They frankly
declared that success on it would spell
wreck for the public credit, and that
such a price should not be paid in the
party's name.
1t was this attitude which gave to their
performance SO much dignity, and earned
for them SO much admiration. They
would not play politics with such sub
ject. They would not accept the plat
form. with the hope and intention Of
trying to defeat its provisions after OBJ
tanning power in campaign that had
been fought on it. They put their con-
demnation on it while it was fresh from
the constructors hands. and thus made
it Impossible for anybody to charge
them in a spirit either earnest or jocu-
lar with bad faith.

Senate Passes Snow Bill.

In The Star yesterday u was piiii'eo
that weather of more suHtheis
character is promised for very nearly

Dillingham; bill for the removal OF snow
and ice from the paved sidewalks in
Washington DISCUSSION OF the ques
,,on of snow removal from the side
walks is more general in the seasons OF
biizzards than in the time of blossoms.
but il is good thing to have the mat
ter lesislated on SO that next winter and
next March the sidewalks will be
clear or somebody will be punished.
Under the terms of the bill it is the
duty of the property holders. the Dis
tiict Commissioners and the United
States Army engineers to see that snow
is removed from the sidewalks within
tie first four hours of daylight after
fall Of SNOW and in order to permit the
chief of engineers and the commission
ers 10 carry out their part Of the pro
gram an appropriation of $4,000 is au-
thorIzed. one-half from the federal
Treasury and one-half from the Dis
trict revenues. Congress has enacted in
previous years two laws aimed at com
polling citizens to remove snow and ice
from the sidewalk in front of their
homes or vacant property. but the
proper courts have found that those
laws were unconstitutional Senator
Dillingham; is authority for the state
nent that the pending bill has been
carefully drawn so as to meet objec-
tons which caused the courts to hold
unconstitutional TWO other laws passed
by Congress for the removal of snow
and ice from the sidewalks"
The people of the Distr.ct of Column
bia were not strongly in need of re-
niinder by law that they should clear
snow and ice from the sidewalks. With
out compulsion by law citizens have
generally, nearly universally. cleared
their sidewalks within a reasonable time
after a snowfall. II has come to be a
municipal habit and q man who did not
have his snow shoveled off. or who did
not do il himself before going to work
or directly after coming home from
neighbors very curious and upde-
s'rable citizen. But it will he helpful
to have the bill made into law After
the snowstorms of last March there was
considerable criticism that the streets
OF Washington remained too long un-
cleared. There was, it was said a lack
OF public money available for that pur-

ciaily in New York city. over the snow
