AEROPLANES TO LOCATE SEALS

The past sealing season in the Gulf
of st. Lawrence, which closed May
l, was failure owing to the diff
Guilty of reaching the herds in the
unusually heavy ice, and entailed a
loss of about $4,000 upon the own
ers of vessels. Next year it is pro-
posed to engage two aviators to Wis
it the east coast and the Gulf Of st.
Lawrence, respectively, just before
the opening of the season and locate
the herds. If successful, this plan
will save the large amount Of time
now lost by sealers in searching for
their prey, and should add correspond

A FUND FOR AERO DEFENSE.

In view of the extremely backward
condition Of aeronautics in the Unit
ed States, both in number of machines
and qualified operators, the Areo
club of America proposes a national
subscription, similar to those organic.
ed in France and Germany in 19l2-'1a
with view of training aviators pro-
curing aeroplanes for the national
guard, naval militia and the post
office department, and TO do what
ever else appears necessary and pos
sible to create an efficient aeronau-
teal reserve, which at this time would
seem most urgent. 1t is pointed out
that not only have we practically no
aeroplanes, but that Que of the $50
licensed aviators in the United States
probably not over half a dozen have
made flights of so miles across coun-
try, and none have any knowledge
Of military requirements. The Ma
tional competition, commencing in
July, which has already been noted,
Is hoped to stimulate interest and as
sist in this movement.

Those who know America we'll.

that the masses as well as the most
intellectual circles are not likely to

The aim and character of the German
military party revealed themselves
fully when the present war broke out
thirst for power, justification of the
means employed by the object to be
attained, disregard of individual
rights, contempt Of treaties, violation
of the laws and usages of war. And
following ON comes the enumeration
of actual results; belligerency impos-
ed upon those whose neutrality has
been guaranteed, the bombardment of
undefended coasts and unarmed cities,
the numbering of women and children
and n-combatants, the devastation
of fertile countries and prosperous in
dustries, the wanton destruction Of
monuments Of history and treasures of
art. 1t will take years to wipe out
the stainl When we look back upon
the many events which, in rapid sue
cession have taken place during the
last eight months, we feel as though
we were carried back centuries into
the past, and as if the customs es-
tablished by law-abiding citizens had
been wiped out of existence.
We, brought up as we have been to
revere the memory of men such as
Abraham Lincoln, who, while great
war was being waged under his ad-
ministration could still proclaim, that
his policy was actuated with malice
towards none and with charity for all, -
we marvel TO witness, in our modern
times, backward movement Of the
world towards a primitive conception
of warfare. Fortunately our faith in
civilization remains mistaken; and
when we think of America, this great,
young and beautiful nation, the child
of liberty, we know we feel that there
It is Unnecessary to plead a cause of
justice. We cannot imagine Ameri-
cans approving the savage invasion
Of the Belgian provinces by
those who had promised to respect and
protect their neutrality; we feel sure
that the devastation of our rich and
industrious provinces in the north and
east, the bombardment of catbedrals,
churches, town halls and other monu-
ments of art and beauty, the i'll treat
ment of non-combatants and OF q de-
fenseless population, arouse general
reprobation.
With you, the whole philosophy Of
government rests on principles Of JUS
tice, the sovereignty Of law, the re
spect and protection of inalienable
rights against arbitrary rule Of legis-
lation. This conception Of organized
power has received the solemn ad-
hesion of all your leading men, as
well as the conservation Of time. For
these reasons we feel full confidence
that the sympathy Of all true Ameri.
cans will never cease TO be with our
just cause.

"The Transportation of Consump-

a paper by DR., Henry b, Hemeuway
Of Evantson, ILL.,, read before the

Memenway said that although con-
sumptives were prone to travel in
greater numbers than any other one
class of persons afflicted with dis
east, humanitarianism as well as law
would protect them in their desire to
travel unless it be shown that their
journey particularly endangered their
fellow-travelers. The conclusion to
which he came after reviewing statis-
ties and laws bearing on the case,
was that the dangers involved were
comparatively slight, and that any at
tempt at segregation of consump-

PARIS, May 8O.-( (By mail to New
York)-Deputy Marquis de Chambrun
member of the Committee of foreign
affairs and great sysa.4ltlsonsof lieaera,l
la Fayetter whose name figures in
American history by the side of that
Of George Washington has been re-
peatedly asked by American sympa-
thizers with the allies cause, this
question:
THE Germans are using every
means to spread their propaganda in
the United States. They are sending
writer's, lecturers, diplomatic repre-
sentatiyes and others to tell their
side of the story. Why don't you,
who speak and write English per-
fectly, and whose name will count
great deal in our country, cross the
Atlantic and tell Frances side?
The Marquis, whose wife is an
American woman, here maident name
being Miss Margaret Rives Nichols,
step-daughter of Bellamy Storer, of
Cincinnati, has always modestly re-
piled: France has no need TO adopt
such methods. Invited by the United
Press to write his ideas on this sub
ject he consented. Here is his ar
ticle:
By the Marquis de Chambrun
One or the characteristics of the
present war is the propaganda made
by belligerent nations in neutral coun-
tries, through publicity and by var
ious means, in view of enlisting sym
pathy and gaining moral support.
Why then, have we refrained from
sending men to America for
the purpose of influencing public
opinion in favor of the allies? The
answer is simple. We rely on the JUS
tice Of our cause. We have full con-
fidence in the clear sightedness of the
American people.
1t is indeed difficult for us to sep
arate the United States from the cause
Of liberty. When France first learn
ed of the struggle for American in
dependence, cher heart was enlisted"
and our government was soon obliged
to follow the popular feeling aroused
dy the departure of La Fayette who
had spontaneously gone over to fight
for the American colonies in open re-
bellion. Thus, the just cause of your
independence had awakened in France
an irresistible national feeling. In
the mind of thinking men the great
prestige of the United States abroad
still rests on the freedom OF her in
stitutions, on the recognized worth Of
her constitution, even more than on
her great material prosperity. We
feel sure that it is superflous, as far
as the free citizens of such a re-
public are concerned, to resort to the
petty means Of propaganda in the
present crisis. From one end of the
States to the other It is surely under
stood that true and great spirit
has lifted up the French people in
their effort to resist an unjustified
invasion Of our territory. 1t is known
that our cause is the cause Of lib
srty.
