Aircraft Likely to Decide
Great Struggle, Says Expert
whichever Sid Gan Drive prsb and Aeroplanss
From tho Skies First Will Have Tremendous Advsn af's
tage Il Opinion Of Alfred w. Lawson

which of the c0ntendtng forces has
the strongest air fleet, and also re-
garding the relative value Of the aer-
oplane and the dirigfble in war. Some
Of the aeronautical authorities con-
tend that the aeroplanes will have
the advantage in the air fight, where
as. others are OF the opinion that the
dirigible, and particularly the Zeppe-
lin rigid type dirigible, win prove its
superiority.
Comparison # Two Types.
] There are many points in favor Of
both types Of air craft. The Zeppelin
for instance, has an approximate lift
ing capacity Of about fifty tons and IS
capable Of staying up in the air for
more than forty.eight hours at q
stretch: 1t is able to cover more
than twelve hundred miles with Its
war load, and IS capable of lowering
over any. particular point. 1t is also
capable Of carrying q more powerful
wireless outfit than the aeroplane and
also more men, guns and ammunition.
It can also navigate in fog or dark
n IS. It can rise to q height of about
ten Thousand feet, which is consider
ably higher than necessary to keep
out Of the way OF land batteries, and
1t is also capable Of rising to that
height in less time than the military
aeroplane. It's speed will run from
fifty to sixty miles an hour.
ON the other hand, the aeroplane
has its advantages in being able to
climb higher than the dirigible and
fly1ats greater speed. The latest mill
tary aeroplanes are armOred and
carry one rapid fire gun. It has been
the theory of the authorities who as
sert that the aeroplane is superior
that the aeroplane will be able. to
ram the sdirigible by flying to 1t at,
great speed and thus destroying an
airship that cost q quarter. Of s. mil
lion dollars and carries twenty-five
persons with machine that costs
81, 900 and carries from one to two
people; whereas 1t has always been
asserted by the adherents Of the Yep
pelin airship that owing to its being
able to- carry heavier guns it will be
able to put out Of commission any
number of aeroplanes with shot and
shell before they can get within
striking reach Of the dirigible.
ptrlaibles Well Armed.
The latest Zeppelins are mounted
with guns on all sides, bottom, top
and either side, 30 that from what
ever angle they engage the enemy
they can pepper him at = distance.
Furthermore, they assert thSt before
an aeroplane can climb to a position
above hem they can be miles away
from II, and again that the; aeroplane
which climbs much more than ten
thousand feet has about used up all
Its energy for either fight or travel.
Which theories are correct will
soon be demonstrated. In fact, as I
sm now talking the superiority Of the
aeroplane and dirigibllity is, being
demonstrated in Europe, and the
success OF this demonstration is the
key to the success of the opposing
armies. Y

Secretary Convinces Committee
u. S. Is in No Condition to
Afront LIMOGES.

WASHINGTON, Feb definite
and final refusal on the part of the
Wilson Administration to consider
any Asiatic exclusion legislation dur
ing the present Congress was the
burden of the statement given to the
House immigration Committee to-
cay by Secretary of State Bryan.
For mere than an hour he set forth
to the members OF the committee. I'M
der oath of secrecy. the relations ex-
listing and the possible future compli-
cations between tho United States
and Japan, and called upon members
of the committee to refuse to con-
slider in any way the Raker bill OF
similar exclusion measures.
When he left the room only Repre-
sentatives Raker and Hayes, of Call
ifornia, were opposing him. Hayes
later denied any knowledge of a prior
committee agreement to consider
Asiatic exclusion.
The Republican members of the
committee were seriously concerned
as were the Democrats, before the
Secretary had finished his recital
Representative Johnson, of Washing
ton, who was among the most vio-
lent opponents of Asiatic immigra-
ton, refused to make any comment
on the turn affairs had taken, None
of the members except Representa-
tive Raker appeared to have the
slightest doub; that the agitation of
the Asiatic question was killed
The Secretary is understood 10 have
told the committee that the United
States is in no condition TO arouse
the jingoes of Japan, and that it was
merely the part of common sense and
maintaining the present "gentlemen's
agreement" until the public sentiment
in Japan should change, In this view
the majority of the committee con-
Cured.
Bryan also Is reported to have told
the committee members that he was
certain to reach an agreement with
Japan on the issues raised by the CAL
ifornia alien land law, if no new OBJ
stacle to such a settlement be created
by Congress.
He said he was on the best posi-
BILE terms with the japanese Ambas-
sador, and had every reason to think
that negotiations now pending would
remove any possible cloud which
might rest on the friendship between
the American and Japanese people.

that he would begin by taking a
count of all public trees within the

The age, variety and location of
each tree will be recorded, a record
which. for completeness probably will
be unequaled by any city in this

WE'D ME-: Or

PROPOSAL
Caveman Wooer Got License Be-

His Intended Bride.

Traditions of the impetuous wooins
of the prehistoric caveman were
rivalled Thursday afternoon in the
story told Recorder Broyles by Miss
Lizzie Lovern, an attractive young
woman living at the home of Mrs.
Annie Herring, No. 23S Woodward
avenue.
Instead of smoothing the knots
from one side OF mammoth bud
geon, cracking her on the skull and
dragging her off to his cave by the
hair of her head, O. Coleman, of No.
1876 Woodward avenue. pointed a
shining pistol in her face and in
formed her that he would kill her
II she did not consent to marry him.
At least, that is the story Miss Low
ern told the Recorder.
Admits Dire Threat.
Coleman was in court. He made
brief statement which partly adj
mitted and partly denied the ellega-
lions of his ferocious love making.
He had threatened her, ne said. but it
was not with any intention of doing
her harm. He had written her let
ter saying that If she persisted in
her refusals it would be "the begin
ming of the end" but this was done
only for the purpose of getting an
interview with her. Anyway, he said,
the pistol was an old one and he had
grave doubts as to whether it would
work at all.
Coleman Is Miss Lovern's brother
in-law. He married her sister. who
died three years ago. leaving three
little children. Miss Eovern has been
caring for them since. Colemsn's
wild infatuation is said to have be-

Painclothes Officers Billiard and
Chatham went to her apartments.
While they were talking to her Cole
man was seen in the front yard
Billiard and Chatham rushed out and
placed him under arrest. A pistol
was found in his pocket.
Recorder Broyles warned him that
he could be placed under a large

unrestrained. AS it was, the defend
ant was bound over under 5000 bond
for carrying concealed weapons and

Cold Wave Not to

Atlanta is concerned

Southwestern States" the weather
director said, and it is causing
clouds over most of the cotton belt.
There probably will be more rain
Thursday night and Friday, but moth

Sunday should be clear and little
colder-but no cold wave
A light rain fell Thursday after
noon.
MIR. Won Hermann said the official
thermometer stood at 81 degrees
Thursday morning and would be
about the same Friday morning
