Fast Thinning Ranks of G. A. r. to
Pass This Year I'm Less Than Hour

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The
biggest reunion in five years of
the Grand Army of the Republic
is expected in Washington begin
ming today and continuing to Oct.
2.
Washington is the place vete--
ans love to come for their annual
encampment, as President John
son reviewed the army here after
the war. 1t always draws a larger
crowd than any other place, and
provision is being made for U.s.
900 men, of whom $1,000 will
probably be in line of march
Wednesday.
In 1892 there were
ADJ, 900 men I'm tho q. A. II.
and IL took the line nine
hours to pass. In 1902 there
wero $4,000 men in the Or
ganization and IL took seven
hours to pass. This year the
men will pass the reviewing
stand In less than one hour.
The parade will be led by Lieut..
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, as grand
marshal. Miles is the highest
ranking surviving officer of the
civil war. President Wilson and
distinguished officials will review
it from the stand in front of the
White House.
There are $4,000 veterans on
the rolls. Age is creeping on the
men, and the death rate is in
creasing rapidly, so that the re-
unions are soon destined to fade
away.
This year, for the first time,
the committee on arrangements
has planned reunions by army
corps. An army corps comprise /
about $1,000 men, and often
there are scarcely a score left.
Every year new commander
in-chief is chosen; the present is
David j. Palmer of Des Moines.
The candidates to succeed him are
Elias n. Montfort of Cincinnati,
VIM. j. Patterson of Pennsylvan-
ia, Frank j. Cole of New Jersey,
and p. II. Coney of Kansas.

chief is by custom chosen FROM

Day of
.Airnlan
Coming

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Giant
aeroplane battle-cruisers eventu-
ally will exterminate the Zeppe-
Inns!
II the war goes on long enough
we shall see armed and armored
seaplanes of the allies as big as
the Zeppelins themselves, and
carrying, perhaps, even more men
In their crews!
So powerful in speed and gun
power will these new air craft
be that the Zeppelins will not
dare to leave their hangers.
These are the opinions OF
Henry A. Wise Wood, one of the
aeronautical experts on the Naval
Advisory Board, given to me as
the first interview by a member
Of the new board.
"Zeppelins are a rank failure,
says Wood; "the Germans them
selves recognize this, and are
now building aeroplanes on the
model of the monster Russian
Sikorsky biplanes.
Everybody can see that the
war has been responsible for an
amazing advance in the science
of aviation. Aeroplanes are get
ting bigger every day. Where is
this progress going to stop?
There is no reason why aero
planes should not be increased in
size until they are 800 feet long
as big as Zeppelins. / expect
to see seaplanes with long, tor
pedo-like bodies, with huge wings
set tandem-wise--one pair behind
the other. There will be a num-
Der of motors; and the craft will
be practically invulnerable!
Shoot the quartermaster of
one of these craft, and smash up
one, two or three of the power
units, and what would happen?
Another member of the crew
would Immediately jump into the
place of the dead steersman,
while the remaining engines
would keep the aeroplane aloft.
"Flying 100 miles an hour,
these Queen Elizabeths Of the
air could easily command full
control of the skies.
I'VE are looking for improve
ments in three very important
things in connection with aero
planes now-more scientific con-
struction, better motors, and some
new chemical fuel to take the
place of gasoline. We must have
a fuel with more power units per
weight.
'As soon as engineers, scient-
lists and chemists concentrate on
these detail of flying machines,
as they have done in the case of
automobiles, We shall see aero
planes growing In size at a rate
that would startle Jules Verne!
"Zcppelins have done nothing
Of military value. They have
dropped bombs upon unfortified
cities, even upon London itself.
But London win get used tn
bombs. When the Germans find
Y is no longer safe to navigate
heir dirigibles over England,
,hey will send over other aircraft.
England eventually will
drive off the Zeppelins with
her aeroplanes. She could
do so now did she not feel
II far more important, from
. military standpoint, to send
$ssnost of her aeropIancs TO
the fighting front.

TERRITORY MUST
PAY FOR Use OF
Phone ON MAUI
Utilities Commission Gets De-
ciSion From Office of
Attorney General

That the territory of Hawaii has no
right to exempt itself or any counties
from the public utilities rates, is the
answer made To the public utilities
commission by Deputy Attorney Gen.
eral w. III. Heen, and approved by
Attorney General /. NJ. Stainback In
reply to the query from the commits
sion relative to ]. L. Osmer. employe
Of the board of health, who desires
free use of the Maui Telephone line
when handling official business.
Attorney Heen's opinion was read
this afternoon at the meeting OF the
utilities commission. Il am of the
opinion" he wrote that you have no
power or authority to exempt the ter
ritory or the counties from paying
rentals or tolls on telephones used by
them, as such exemption would be in
violation of the constitutional provis-
ion prohibiting the taking of private
property for public use without just
compensation
Mr.. Heen's opinion is that while the
territory cannot be exempted the rates
may be reduced in certain cases.
Copies of three bills introduced in
the house Of representatives by Dele
gate ]. X. Kalanianaole, and forward
ed to the commission by Chairman
Charles r. Forbes, were read at the
meeting this afternoon. The bills are
relative to the ratification of certain
acts of the Hawaii legislature allow
ing the Honolulu Gas Company and
the Hawaiian Electric Company to ex-
tend their franchises outside of Homo
lulu to other parts OF Oahu

proved the increase of rates of the

feet on January /. Only one protest
was filed, this being from e. C. Moore
Of Haiku The new rate makes

OF $3.50 per month Removal charges
