America Sails Over New Course.

~ va S0uo WV uN0" SV0Uo0s
New York. Sept. 1.:-Otficials Of the
Aero Club of America have mapped a
new course for the proposed ocean
flight of the %aeroplane America when
it takes place which is designed to
overcome the difficulty Of carrying Il
sufficient supply Of gasoline. Instead
of the long flight of 1000 miles from
st. Johns to the Azores, it is proposed
to establish an emergency station at
the Flemish cap, q shOal off the New
fOundland banks, 42O miles in u south
easterly direction from St. Johns.
There are sixty fathOms of water there.
The distance from there to the Azores
is in round numbers S7j miles. Henry
WOodhOuse, a member of the transat-
lantic flight committee of the club, sug-
gested this, and it was approved. He
said of his proposal:
Ito lessen the dangers of the flight
it may be possible to consider the mat
ter of stopping ut Flemish cap on the
way to the Azores. There additional
fuel could be taken aboard, though the
stop should be discretional OF the part
of the pilots. That would cut the long
est distance to be flown in a single
flight to S75 miles, the Flemish cap be-
ing 42O miles from st. Johns.
"This would divide the flight into
four legs.
1.-The entire distance can be covered
within forty hours easily, leaving thir.
ty-two hours for stops"

Crown Prince Nav Go to Africa.

Berlin. Sept. 2.-CrOwn Prince Fred
erick Williams trip through the Ger
man colonies. which he desired to
make this year but to which the en-
peror refused to consent, may he made
in 1918.
According to a usually we'll inform
ed source. the emperor's consent has
been gained. and all that remains to
be done is to induce the reichStag to
appropriate $4,000 for expenses.
This is likely to prove IA serious OBJ
stacle. When the subject was raised
ut the last session it encountered so
much opposition that the emperOr'S
decision to refuse to permit the crown
prince to make the trip was in part
aScribed to the reich>tag's attitude.
Other reasons are understood to have
been his wish that the crown prince
first Go some real work with the gen
eral staff and his conviction that prop
er precautions to protect the personal
welfare of the future ruler had not
been taken. The latter object. it is
reported. has been removed. and the
other will be removed next spring.

In innumerable decisions handed
down by the, courts it has been held
that the men have right to 'organize,
ask for better conditions, ask for
| higher wages, ask for more sanitary
surroundings, or ask for anything
! within reason to improve their moral,
intellectual physical and social well
fare. The courts have further said
, that the employers have right to or
ganize and combat these demands
and seek to get the men for the low
est wage possible, and to work the
man under conditions named by them.

Scores and scores Of decisions have
been handed down by the courts
