Aviators, e1oo. 900 Prizes

There is plenty of announcement for av- iators who wish to outdo the feats already accomplished by flying men, and for designers and inventors who seek to perfect the biplane and monoplane. says Tit-Bits. Prizes ranging in value from $500 to e20,0c0 are open to be won during 1914 and it is safe to affirm that this year will see the performance of even greater flying feats than have been a1- ready accomplished
 The most interesting prize, perhaps. is the es0,00o, which is being offered by the Union Aerienne. which is formed of members of the Aero Club of France and
 is supported by the French government This prize is offered to the constructor or an aeroplane affording the greatest de- gre of safety; and several recompenses of $500 and upwards will be distributed to inventors of machines which the jury may consider worthy of encouragement.
 Complete liberty is left to the com petitors as to the manner of attacking the problem. and the competition is open to persons of every nationality. The jury, which will consist of 10 members appoint ed by the Union, and five nominated by the ministers of public works. marine and war. will examine the machines submitted on different dates. fixed by itself.
 A prize of f10,090 Is waiting for the first aviator to fly from Europe to America. while there promises to be an exciting con- test for the prize of E5000 for the winner of the seaplane race round Great Britain. Everyone will hope that MT. Hawker. who made such a gallant attempt last year. will again enter this arduous test and emerge successful.
 Another great competition of particular interest to this country is the reliability trial, which will probably be held by the government in April next, to discover the best British built engine. There have been about 30 responses to this tardy eff fort of the authorities to encourage the home industry. The first prize is f50O0 and there wllbe an additional e40.Oo0 in orders to the firms who produce the best work
 Among smaller prizes might be men tioned the R1000 offered for a seapIane race, open to all nationalities probably to be flown between two Riviera resorts; prize or 9S00 for an 'all round France. competition, with Is stopping places, and similar prize for a circuit of Paris Five hundred pounds Is being offered by a newspaper for q flight across Africa from Sa1ro to the cape, a distance of about 5600 miles, while e400 is being offered by the Paris municipal council for a race from Paris to a capital. probably in the near east, via Vienna and Budapest The same sum is offered by the Aero Club of France for the longest direct nopstop flight; while f360 is offered for the great est number of hits on painted target in competition for bomb throwing from aeroplanes.

 The cold. hard fact about it is that she cannot. Neither can he. Solomon who knew lot, said all men were liars; ana human experience in the centuries since hasn't produced many reasons to change the verdict.
 Not necessarily wilfuI and deliberate liars-let's give them that benefit. But let US also be candid. :. man in love is like man in drink-he Is too intoxicated to be responsible for an he says.
 Do you suppose there ever was man in love, from Adam down. who didn't swear by all the deitie- that he would never let the woman take in washing to support him? Yet the washtub supports almost as many homes the pick and shovel

If he remem- DOTS his ecstatic promises at all. it is NagueiN The wses woman doesn't pre- shme upon them.

 Tenor

been used except in a trifling degree. ment against the abolition of privi- legeS which are vital to hundreds of thousands of her nationals abroad
 The Kokumin is possibly quite right as to the economic value of the Jap anese in California and their commend- able civic qualities. It Is likely, too, that were they left alone in unrestricted possession of the land they acquire they would in generation be good Californians and forget their Japanese origin. But these are matters in which only the Californians have any right to Judge, and the Kokumin cannot dis credit an act thrashed out in both houses of the legislature by describing it as the trick of a. labor faction. Good or bad, each act represents the decision 'of the representatives of a very vide awake people. On this occasion they ap- pear to have decided against the Japan ese. It may be a deplorab1e error, but there is nothing in any treaty that can be summoned as a deus ex machina to bring them to their senses. and the one reprisal which Japanese politicians so far have been able to devise is to boycot an exhibition--an eloquent comment on Japans method of in- terpreting treaties.
 If the omissions in the treaty which leave Japan dumbly impotent in the face of California eXclusionism were de- liberately made. they can only have been by Japan, with an eye to the con- tinuance of the domestic policy to which she has always consistently clung.

JAPAN HAS LAND LAWS
 AKIN TO CALIFORNIA;

l It is not without significance that | Japan has always set her face innexi- bly, against the ownership of land by | foreigners, says the Japan Chronicle,
 Kobe. Even permissive bill, so word ed as to be almost an evasion of the
 rights it professed to grant, has been repeatedly shelved. It is also to be remembered in this connection that Ja- ! pan prohibits the employment of for eign laborers. and prohibits foreigners
 from engaging in agricultural pur- suits. On the other hand, the land policy of America. as expressed the other day | by Japanese contemporary, is Liberal 1 beyond the widest dreams of the Ja- panese." There are no restrictions against foreigners buying or leasing land, and America is far too interested in agriculture to prohibit cultivation by any foreigners who care to indulge in it.
 The case standing as it does. it is very difficult to see upon what grounds
 the Japaneses ambassador at Wash
 ington can make protests against the bill now before the California assembly, The protests already made have been largely in the nature of bluff, for if the
 American Secretary of State were to
 ask. What is the policy pursued in Ja-
 pan with regard to the ownership and the cultivation of land by foreigners? the Japaneses ambassador would have some difficulty in saving face" The opinion of foreign office official pub lished yesterday Is more pessimistic than is usual in utterances of the sort but substantially defines the hopeless- ness of Japan's position. The mo
 room" theory has come back on Japan
 rather badly. Had she adopted the same liberal policy as America, there would be something to offer in coming to a compromise; but she has not; she has pursued the narrowest possible land policy, with the result that, confronted with narrowing of America's land policy, she finds that there is mo room for reciprocal negotiations. She is hoist with Count Komuras petard.
 Whether it be wise, or liberal, or even just, of California to take these measures which, as President Wilson says, seem to be directed against the Japanese, is another matter The Kokumin had some very angry remarks to make on the subject, complaining
 that every quarrel during the last 20 years has been of American manufac- ture. But this Is professedly not na tional quarrel at all, but merely a ques- ton of the interpretation of treaty rights. And Japanese statesmanship
 must answer to Japanese public opinion for the peculiarly shirt sighted policy which has consistently denied to for eighers rights which could never have

DEPRESSION RULES
 AT CLOSE IN WHEAT
Huge Primary Receipts and Small Export Clearances
 Mainly Responsible

Chicago, July u.-Huge primary re- ceipts and small export clearances today explained a net decline in the value of wheat. Depression ruled at the close. which was isQ1a cent under last night. Corn scored a gain of 191A cent and oats rise of a shade to IS cents. In pro visions the outcome was unchanged to 10 cents higher.
 Arrivals of nearly 100000 bushels more wheat this week than during the corre- spending time a year ago brought home to speoulators the formidable pressure to be expected from the new winter crop. Moreover the weeks receipts at Chicago were more than double the shipments and 10 times the volume of today's export oiearances from the whole of the Uni ted States
 Black rust complaints from South Da- lSota and heat reports from the north west became more numerous and threat ened to unnerve the bears.
 Intensely hot dry weather over the greater portion of the surplus producing states led to a sharp advance in corn. Unfavorable crop reports gave the bulls an advantage in oats. Provisions were firmer with hogs and corn.
 Future quotations were as follows.
