1t is absolutely essential In plans
for any Zeppelin movement upon
England that a part of the English
Channel be seized and held in se-
curity. Thereafter about $4,000, 900
must be invested In a dozen airships
and their substantial housings.
If a dozen Zeppelins were success
fully brought forth from their garages
ana successfully sent across the Eng
lish Channel, 1t is very doubtful If
many of them would ever return.
The first danger is from the weather,
the second danger is from any FIRE
within themselves, the third danger is
that they are such large targets for
any kind of rifle fire., and the fourth
danger is that they are no match for
aeroplanee in warfare. Aeroplanes
can fly higher and lower and faster.
and can use firearms more effectively
and with less danger to the user.

II We Only KnsW

If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim eternal roughness
SEEM wonder-just the same
Should We help where now we hinder,
Should we pity where we blame?
All! we judge each other harshiy,
Knowing not life's hidden force
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbd at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good
And we'd love each better
If we only understood.
Could we judge ali deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives
Often we would find it better
Just to judge all actions good
We should love each other better
If we only understood

Delay, but Not Forgetfulness

THERE is excellent meat in the suggestion
j of Alderman Ordway Fuller that efforts
10 induce the Richmond Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad to abolish its grade cross
ings on Broad and Belvidere Streets be de-
ferred until the first Of next year. Alderman
Fuller thinks that by that time prosperity
either will have returned or else be in clear
sight Of all who have eyes to see, and his
thought is that the railroad company, under
these more cheerful circumstances, will not
suffer so much when the necessary operation
is performed.
1t is true certainly that no public service
corporation should be required or expected to
make large outlays at time like this if
there is reasonable expectation of change in
the near future That reasonable expectation
exists. and it is good sense and good policy.
not to speak of proper consideration for the
none-too- prosperous railroads 10 defer urgent
action for few months.
But that does not mean that the project
should not be considered or that Richmond
should lose its vision Of streets free from
dangerous and unsightly grade crossings.
The reform that the Board Of Aldermen is
considering is q vital one. Members of the
Board owe it to themselves and to their city

An Ugly Issue in New Work
