PHONE LEAGUE TO BATTLE FOR
CITY TELEPHONE SERVICE
From now on the heaviest fighting
of the Penny Phone League will be
aimed at getting the city to seize the
Automatic equipment and operate a
cost telephone service. At the meet
ing of the league last night it was
declared that the new council com
mittee which will handle telephone
stuff is so strong against the proposed
sale of the Automatic to Bell interests
that the deal will not be permitted by
the present city council. A commit
tee was appointed to interview alder
wen who will take the matter UP next
week in the gas, oil and electric light
committee.
The league has spent SCOOPS,
mostly for printing, stationery and
postage. OF this, Locals 9 and 134
of the Electrical Workers Union paid
$50 each and $50 was contributed
by Chicago Telephone Co. employees.
These delegates have been seated:

AMERICAN CITIZEN KICKS ON
THE COLORADO WAR

Franklin Wendell Buckingham, lit
S. Racine, Chicago, has sent the fol-
lowing letter to President Wilson:
81 was reading in The Day Book,
an adless newspaper of this city,
about the Colorado coal strike. l
write this letter as a protest against
the horrible conditions in the coal
mines being allowed to exist. 1t seems
to me it is little short of barbarism.
l am an American citizen, having
been born in Michigan, and my an
cestors came to this country on the
Mayfower and my father being born
in the state of Vermont.
Therefore, l as an American citi-
zen respectfully ask you to use your
executive power to put stop to all
such affairs. feel that it is dis
grace to the United States of Amer
lea, and am becoming ashamed to
admit my citizenship. 1t seems to be
the fault of capitalists, such as John
D. Rockefeller and others. Respect
fully yours.

in Austria, Belgium, and some of the
German States.
Two extremes of organization are found
the highly centralized and the decentraliz-
ed. England furnishes an example of the
former, with a chief Inspector, division
inspectors, district inspectors, and the
lower grades OF inspectors. In England Is
also found much specialization Of func-
tions among medical inspectors, danger
Gus trades inspectors, electrical inspcc-
tors, etc.
In the inspection departments of Prus-
sia and Switzerland which are examples
of the decentralized type, there are no
chief inspectors, each district inspector
having the whole field of Industrial In
spection under his Jurisdiction. Austria
has central Industrial inspector, but his
supervision does not extend as far as
that of the chief inspector in England.
In France there Is practically no head to
the inspection department, the division
inspectors being charged With much Of
the inspectorlal work.
Little progress in scientific standardiza-
ton OF safety and sanitation has been
made in Europe and labor laws in many
Instances fail to give exact standards for
the guidance of inspectors and for the
use of manufacturers and employees. In
spoction tn detect violations of laws Is still
the method used by most inspectors, and
most European inspection departments
are far behind the more progressive de-
paItments in the United states in the
matter of keeping records Of Inspections,
violations, etc.

BIRDS THAT CROSS THE SEA

How such tiny migrants as goldcrests
cross the sea has often been a mystery
to many, although It has always been
known that they sometimes alight upon
the fishing boats In the North Sea to
rest and break the long Journey.
Redwings and heldfares leave their
nesting haunts in Scandinavia and ar
rive in flocks to feed on the hips and
haws in our hedgerows, or the berries
of the elder rowan tree, and even the
mistletoe. Following in their wake come
the merlin, tho great gray shrike tho
goldcrest, the short-eared owl and others,
including the woodcocks, which, on ar
rival after crossing the North Sea- ara
often so exhausted as to suffer them
selves to be overtaken and picked up by
hand.
Strange as it may seem, the larger
migratory birds sometimes give a lift to
smaller and weaker travellers, who,
availing themselves of the broad plat
form afforded by their expanded pinlons
and the soft plumage of the dorsal
feathers, among which they nestle and
hold on with their tiny feet, are carried
across the North Sea in comfort and
alght In safety on our British soil.
In this way golden-crested wren was
actually observed to alight from the
back of a short-eared owl OH It's arrival
from Norway to our shores.-Tit-B

eral speeding UP Of strategic operations.
Because OF the eye in the air, opposing
army corps will become more like naval
squadrons; their presence and strength
will be revealed to each other, as the
presence and strength of battleship
fleets are revealed at sea. With posi-
tions, strengths and movements known,
II is evident that q new strategy must
be developed. Great mobility and great
numbers will count for more than ever
before
with cards thus OF necessity all laid
on the table, we may expect moro mcrci-
ful preiminaries than i'm the past. Be
fore the days of the airship and aero
plane a general had TO feel the enemy's
strength. He sent out skrmishers and
cavalry, whose losses were the only test
he had OF the strength and position of
his foe. Even then he might be fooled
by feints, by masked movements At
Mutden tho Japanese caused the RUS
slams to think that the Russian right
flank would be turned. Reserves were
hurried east to countesact the expected
n,ovment. Countermauhing westward,
they could be thrown only piccemeal
against the true japanese flank attack.
The result can be imagined Suppose that
the Russians had commanded the air.
Suppose that they had discovered the
actual movements OF the Japanese re-
serves and met flank attack with out
Hanking movement. What different
battle II would have been!

AIRCRAFT POSSIBILITIES
UNDER FIRST WAR TEST
Present Conflict will Indicate Prac-
tical Value In Strategy.

Aircraft Of all kinds are so new and
untried as far as actual operations in
warfare are concerned that a great deal
of interest attaches to them in the pres
ent war in Europe, and their success in
securing valuable information regarding
the enemy is discussed in an article in
the special war number of the Scien-
tlfc American OF September 5, from
which the following extract is derived:
No one can tell exactly how efficient
aircraft will be In the present war. But
1t Is certain that battles must be more
carefully planned. The cavalry raids
which marked our Civil War, the hidden
movements Of a mobile force, so we'll
handled that it could even defeat larger
numbers, Will be quite impossible, sim
ply because they will be detected by the
airscout.
' Modern armies are so huge that they
cannot easily be rearrangcd after their
"strategical edeployment,' as it is
called, has once been decided upon.
Hence the use OF aircraft will develop
farsightedness in the preliminary dis
position of troops and bring about a gem

see remarkablet changets. A large city
mas grown up outside the walls and big
modern buildings occupy some of the
most historic sites. Tho Rome OF to-
DAY does not sit upon her seven hills and
from her throne of beauty rule the world.
Che climbs down and hustles. and. al
though she does not rule the world, her
people are learning the more important
art OF how to rule themselves. We Wis
lted the Senate q short time ago and
as we looked down upon that conven-
tlonal body, many of them wearing COM
portable sack coats and Longing easily
IN their chairs, We recalled with a smile
our days of college Latin and its descrlp-
tion of the Roman Senate! At present IL
Is appointed for life by the King and in
the not far distant past it's authority
would have been absolute, but now II
is largely in the nature of rubber
stamp It's principal function is to rat
ify the action of the House of Deputies,
which Is elected by universal male suf-
rage, and, while 1t possesses the power
of veto, this very wisely is never used.
1t Is, however a mark OF distinction
TO be appointed to the Senate, and some
of ltalH's most eminent men arc on It's
rolls. We were accompanied by Countess
Iampni salazar who is much admired
by prominent mon on account of her po-
lttical writings, and we were escorted
through the fine, old Palace Madama of
the sixteenth century, which now belongs
to the Government, by Baron Raffaele
Garafalo, president of the highest Court
of Justice in Rome. After the session
had adjourned we were introduced to %
number of the Senator's, among them
Giovanni Cordolini a veteran patriot and
historian; Oreste Tommasino, formerly
Superintendent of Public Instruction and
a high authority on education; Raffaele
di Cesare, whose works on ecclesiastical
policy and the relations between the Vat
lean and the Qurinal have been trans
lated into English; Angelo Annaratone,
former Prefect of Rome; Giulio Monte
verde, the renowned sculptor, some of
whose most noted marbles are in a
rotunda of the Senate which bears his
name. Among the other distinguished
Senators whom we met personally was
Prince Prospero Colonna di Sonnino rep
of one of the oldest families
in Italy. He was the predecessor of the
famous Socialist Ernesta Nathan as
Mayor.
