THE AERoPLANE IN WAR.

The use of the aeroplane in war has
been more or less problematical and the
oretical, largely due to the fact that
since the development of the machine to
its present stage there has been no war
in which satisfactory trial could be made
So it was left for the Mexican revolution
to give the first good demonstration of
the possibilities of the air machine. The
results OF the first demonstration at
Mazatlan on Thursday may be called
satisfactory, if such a designation can
be used in connection with slaughter of
human beings, because the aeroplane was
directed by the rebel forces over the be-
leaguered city, enabling the occupants
of the machine not only to inspect the
conditions inside the Notifications but
also to drop deathdealing bomb into
The center of the city. In both these
services the aeroplane proved its value
in warfare; it demonstrated what might
be accomplished in more ambitious at
machine. The bomb dropped from the
machine worked great havoc in the city,
destroying much property and making
large casualty list. Thus is added
another instrument of death to the al
ready large list of agencies used in pur.
suit of warfare, and it is a powerful in
strument because of the fact that at the
present time no effective means of pro-
lection from it have been devised. More
over. even though a single aeroplsne or
a 'heet" of aeroplanes be struck and
disabled. with consequent fall to the
earth, no large casualties would result
to the invading force because the ma
chimes would not be likely to contain
many men. At the same time the prop
lerty loss from destruction of "heet"
Of aeroplanes would be large, albeit not
reckoned so severe as the loss of human
lives. II seems therefore. that the aero

was quite a discussion over the action
of the school board in asking for the in
terest on the bonds issued by the city
for the building of the new school house,
which the city council had used in its
work and was then asked by the board
to refund it, which it did. 1t is al
legged that inasmuch as the council had
to pay the interest on the bonds the ac-
cruing interest should belong to that
body and not to the school board. City
Attorney Bailey also stated that If the
school board needed extra money, the
place for them TO apply was TO the citi-
zens in city meeting and not to the
council. May ii the sewer department
work is to be turned over to j. j. Gin
ney, water superintendent, and he will
hereafter also be known as superintend-
ent of sewers. 1t was decided by the
council that the water department could
carry on this branch of the work better
than any other department. In regard
TO a fire station for the city, Mayor
Boutwell, recommends that the city
horses be sold and the city stable be
used as a fire station. The city owns
ten horses, which cost the city s. day
each and the mayor figures that II would
be cheaper TO hire as needed.

Ambassador Page, in declaring that
gambling furnishes steadier income
than writing books and stories, must
have lost sight of the fact that writing
books and stories is q gamble in itself
when it comes to the effort to sell them
to the publishers. But Ambassador
Page took an unfortunate moral COM
parison in trying to bring out his point
that most people should be dissuaded
from trying to write for publication.
Then again the comparison may not be
very apt for the reason that gambling
except in such wide open places at Monte
Carlo is quite likely to be interdicted
completely, thus cutting off all possible
source of steady income, whereas the
opportunity to write is always open,
with the possibilities of income depend
