EsRles to Fight Airships.

For the protection of the pilots of its wo dertul fleet of aeroplanes the French war ofhce has devised the amazing scheme ot employing golden eagles to haraSS the enemy-such, at any rate, is stat, ment made by a writer in the well known German sporting review, "Allgcmoine Forst und Jagdzeitung. "
 Faster SChuster, who is responsible for this story, took up ornithology after retiring from the pulpit, and writes with an Assumption of assurance and with au impression of intimate ace quaintance with the facts of the case. He implies that he has recently visited the French acrodromes at Chalons and Nice where he says, the birds arc kept, and where he has seen them. His des- cription of the procedure is as follows:
 "Ihe military at Chalons and at Nice have To lght six eagles, which arc to be employed in attacking tho aviators and aeroplaues of the enemy for a successful attack on neroplanos could be made by powerful birds flying against tho ma chimes and rendering them unservice- able. First, the eagles are accustomed to the roar and rattle of the machine and to the sound of gun fire; this les son lasts three weeks. Model flying machines are made, to which scraps of meat are fastened, and in the meantime the birds are kept on starvation rations. Then when the aeroplanes are thrown into the air the eagles fly at the scraps of meat with tremendous force, and thus destroy the models. Later the birds are expected to wound the pilot with beak and claws, rendering him hors de combat. "-New York Tribune.

Sedan Dav.


 Six million men engaged in murder ing one another.
 Six million men in the prime of life and the flood-tide of perfect health, all of them effective parts of the massive machinery of organized manslaughter, contending with all the implements of systematized destruction that modern science can devise.
 As Kipling phrases it in his ringing verse:
 Once more we hear the word
 That sickened earth of old:
 'No law except the sword,
 Unsheathed and uncontrolled !"
 For autocracy and militarism the celebration of Sedan Day yesterday must have marked the pinnacle of human ecstasy.
 That was the day to which the war lords have looked forward for genera tion. That was the day for which all civilization has been laid under tribute. That was the day for which corrupt diplomacy and lying statesmanship have been cunningly nursing the old race hatreds and fauning the embers of ancient feuds. That was the day to which nation after nation has been inn poverishing its peasants aud its artisans to provider the necessary armament That was the day for which the sub- jects of Kings and Kaisers have been taught to regard themselves as food for cannon.
 A glorious day for all who believe in war for wars sake. An especially glorious day for the Divine right of Kings; for without this doctrine there could have been no celebration. But when the smoke of the guns has cleared away it may not seem so glorious especially to those rulers by "Divine right upon whose hands rests the bloodguilt of the most devastating war known to the history of the human race.
 The final reckoning is yet to be paid, but civilization will be stupid indeed if the autocracy that has lived by the sword does not die by tfie sword in atonement for it's unspeakable crimes against God and man--Few York World. A.

"A Scrap of Paper"

Just for scrap of paper, exclaimed the German imperial chancellor in his 1 final interview with the British ambass- ador-''just for scrap of paper Great Britain is going to make war on a kindred nation!
 That "scrap of paper" was the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium. The whole history of human liberty is written on just such scraps of paper.
 The Magma Charta was "a scrap of paper"
 The Bill of Rights was ca scrap of paper''
 The Declaration of Independence was "a scrap of paper"
 The Constitution of the United States is "a scrap of paper.
 The Emancipation Proclamation was "a scrap of paper" | The decisions of the United States supreme court and of the British law lords are "a scrap of paper."
 For a hundred years "a scrap of paper" has maintained an unbroken peace between the United States and the British possessions of Canada along au uulOTbll6u lTOuIlcT Ol O,OOO nll10S
 The Clayton-Bulwer treaty was "a srcap of paper" but the United States, despite the temptation, took no move to construct an isthmian canal until that scrap of paper could be amended with the consent of both parties to the con- tract.
 The -Pauncefote treaty is "a srcap of paper, and one of the most brilliant moral victories won by Pesi- dent Wilson is the act of congress which voluntarily repealed violation of the terms of that "scrap of paper. '" Respect for these scraps of paper measures nations honor no less than its freedom. Democracy itself is only "a scrap of paper" but it losses forces that no autocracy can stay. The Ger man army is the most wonderful mili- tary machine ever constructed by the hand and brain of man, but in the final reckoning of history "a scrap of paper" will prove more powerful than all the kisers legions.

When the convention opened yesterday at the Hyperion Theater i'll New Haven, there was a large band ot women in attend ance, and as soon as the resolutions committee was appointed every member received communications from the suffragists asking him to use his in- fiuence for the insertion of the suffrage plank. So long as women have not the vote they have to he satisfied with in- direct influence, and the test of the efficacy of this influence is being made just now when so large a body of women is pressing for declaration in favor of suffrage.

Bismarck's Bite.

Bismarck had little regard for women who attempted to think for themselves in matters of state and politics. More over, he never took any pains to con. ceal his dislike for them. Occasionally, however, when his adversary was a clever woman, he found the snub re- turned as effectively as he gave it.
 One day he paid visit to the Rus- sian embassy at Berlin. Several women who were present joined in the conver- sation, which turned on some of the political questions of tbe day. Bis marck was as gruf and surly to the women as usual; he fiouted even the mistress of the house, the Countess Schouvaloff. -a
 At last, to the relief of everybody, Bismarck took his leave. A few mo- ments later the family mastiff was heard barking at the great man, in the courtyard.
 Immediately the countess ran to the open window and called, in tones of gentle entreaty:
