AEROPLANEs IN WAR.

The intelligent use of the aeroplane
i'm war is to have a test in the skilled
hands of Americans Drring the Bal
kan war the airShipS were utilized to
a limited extent, and usually under
conditions that handicapped the oper-
ators. This will not be the case at
Vera Cruz, for the aeroplanes belong
ing to the United States army and
navy are the best that can be con-
structed and as brave a body of aVia-
tors that the world could produce. 1t
is not egotistical TO make this asser-
ton, even though it be known that
the United States has not kept pace
with European nations in the develop
ment of aerOnautics. We lack in num-
bers but not in the perfection of ma
chimes and the skill of men.
Every nation interested in aerial
warships Will watch the maneuvers at
the Mexican port. If General Mas
continues to hold and fOrtify his posi-
ton fifteen miles outside of Vera Cruz,
the American air scouts will be able
to report his every movement, and,
incidentally. may drop few modern
bombs on his camp. From the posi-
bilities afforded by the position of the
two forces the aeroplane is sure TO re-
ceive a far more practical test than
ever before.
The presence of numerous skilled
men in the air will make il impossible
for the MeXicans TO hide their move
ments, and at the same time the avia-
tors will map the country. thus facili-
tating operations by the American
forces.-Pittsburgh Post.

If il were not for the Mexican sit
uation, the United States would be
aroused to a high pitch of excitement
over the Colorado labor war. In
point of actual bloodshed the fighting
i'm the Trinidad fields has eclipsed
that in Mexico. Yesterday the num-
Der of known dead was 20, among
whom were numbered many women
and children. Scores more may also
have been victims. In Vera Cruz
only II Americans have been killed,
all Of them fighting men.
Such condition of industrial war
fare is the more appalling when it is
considered that it is not mountain
feud beyond the reach of civil authOri-
ties but "A direct clash between the
forces of labor and the state itself.
There seems one point in the Situa-
ton TO stand out above everything
else, the inefficiency and perversiOn
which the government of Colorado has
shown from first to last in dealing
with both strikers and operators.
Fighting may result in a temporary
subjugation of the miners who have
taken the law i'm their own hands,
but il will not eXtinguish the sullen
and Smouldering flame that will be
ready to break out in renewed viO-
lence. Justice and upright methods
will have to be restored to Colorado
government before real hope can be
found.-Grand Rapids News.

MIXED WATER DANGEROUS.

Il. is comforting TO have the assur-
ance Of purity in the water Of the wells
from which some Of our large indus
tries draw their supplies as well for
what may happen as for what has hap
pened.
The predominant thought when the
city's waterworks system was installed
forty-one years ago was fire protection
The contest between the advocates of
direct and Indirect pressure was
founded on that issue Domestic SER
vice was a secondary consideration. 1t
developed sooner than anticipated
through the Inspiration given it by the
late A. H. Stephenson. who conceived
the idea of attaching the pumps 10 ar
sian wells or pumping the artesian
water f-om "a reservoir fed by the
l-ells.
Mr.. stephenson and his brothers
were engaged in The driven well bust
ness and were recognized authority
ON water supply. Mr.. Stephenson so
inspired the city authorities with the
feasibility Of his plan that expert
mental wells-six inches i'm diameter
were sunk with the gratifying results
known. Previous TO the completion
of a sufficient number of wells TO sup
ply the needs of the city river water
was pumped into the standpipe. This
wafer Vas just as good for fire protec-
ton as the srtesian water and better
fer sprinkllng as it is soft and con
tains more OF less fertilizins matter
but for the same reason it was not mt
tor domestic purposes.
From time to time for one reason
or s.zather. similar to that which caus-
ed 4he use Of the Singer well in the
Dresent instance. river water was turn
ed into the mains. This happened on
one or two occasions when there were
big fires. At these times the public
was warAed not 10 use the water for
domestic service for several days.
The policy of the water department
shoald be, and probably Will be we
assume. TO avoid as far as possible the
uso ih,the city mains of any but arte-
sian water from the city wells. The
factory wells are not deep enough to
draw more than surface water. which
though seeped through sand is in dam
ger of contamination from the many
vaults and cesspools located in their
vicinity. As long as the department
sticks 60 artesian water il is safe, but
when it departs from that practice il
takes a chance.

JAPAN's WISE POLICY.

With commendable taste and graft
flying Difference to its professed desire
to maintain friendly relations with the
United States the government of
Japan declined to act for Huerta in
the pending negotiations for peace.
The declination was based on the
ground that TO manifest interest in
either party to the controversy might
be construed as an expression of IA
yoritism.
The position taken by Japan is in
harmony with the recent declaration
made by Count Okuma, the new pre-
mier of Japan, that his government
desires TO preserve the strictest neu-
trality between the United States and
Mexico. Not that under ordinary cir
cumstances the American government
could construe the assumption of such
an office as an unfriendly act, but that
ir view of suspicious and chs -ges of
unfriendliness Japan could scarcely
have acceded TO Huertas request with
cut mourning unfriendly criticism.
Pres. Wilson is said TO go so far as
TO regard Japans declination as a
friendly act. which may be an over
drawn conception of the motives which
prompted it, but at least it is obvious
that Japan does not care to add to
the suspicious which exist in the minds
of the American people by taking a
part not necessarily unfriendly, but
which might he construed as such.
1t is much better for all concerned
i'm American relations with Japan that
the latter should stand aloof and
preserve the strict neutrality an
uounccd BY it's prime minister. We
wish TO be friendly with Japan and 10
avoid all disturbing circumstances.
