is A HYDRoAERoPLANE A WAR VESSEL?

There is good deal to be said in support OF the
attitude taken by Count Bernstorf the German
Ambassador in his protest made to the United
States Government that American made hydroaero-
planes such as have been shipped to European bel
ligerents are war vessels and therefore should not
be shipped from a neutral country.
The German Ambassador points out in effect that
while these airships which he alleges have been
sent to Europe from the Curtiss works in Ham
mondsport New York, are not specifically referred
to in the Hague agreement, drawn up on October
Is. 1907. in the list of articles which neutral
nation may not send to belligerent nation in
time of war; the failure of the agreement to specify
hydroaeroplanes as war vessels was due to the
''simpe reason that this kind of war vessel did not
exist at that time. =
The German soldiers themselves, together with
those of most of the other warning nations, have
demonstrated since the outbreak of the present Euro
pean struggle that arships of one kind or another
have been used with deadly effect for making attacks
on the enemy. While the German Zeppelins that
were used to drop bombs on English soil, where
they wrought considerable destruction, cannot of
course be cassed as hydroaeroplanes, there is no
doubt that some of the airships that have done
damage during the war have been of the hydro
aeroplane type.
Count Bernstorffs protest certainly is worthy of
careful consideration by this Government 1t may
be contended that hydroaeroplaneS shipped from
this country may not when shipped, be equipped
with apparatus for use in discharging bombs or
with any other armament and therefore cannot be
classed warshps any more than can a merchant
vessel of the seagoing type be so classed, though
both the hydroaeropane and the purely-seagoing
vessel may be capable of being equipped with arm
ament after they arrive in the belligerent country
to which they are consigned by the neutral manu-
facturers.
Yet at the same time it must be borne in mind
that the hydroaeropanes and the ordinary merchant
vessel of the purely going type vary in many
essential features with relation to their usefulness
in warfare. Practically no rebuilding would be
necessary in the of the water-ar craft to equip
it for bomb-droppng, whereas the ordinary \mer-
chant ship would have to be practically rebuilt by
the country receiving it in order to be useful as
vessel of war.
AT any rate Count Bernstorff's protest raises
delicate question that needs to be decided with the
utmost care SO that justice may be done to all con-
cerned

GERMANY S BIG GUNS AND OURS

Just we in United States were beginning to
feel bit eated because the Watervleit arsenal
near Boston had turned out gun capable of hurl-
ing missile weighing 2,400 pounds for II miles,
that is shell weighing more than ton hurled as
far as from point three miles the other side of
Carlisle into Market Square, Harrisburg-along
come two dispatches stating that the German gun
makers have produced shooting irons that can do
even better than that,
cabegram from Amsterdam announces the
Germans have created new naval gun with range
OF % miles, and another Disqualification Berlin
says a writer in the "Artilleristsche Montas
Wefte y tells of naval gun that the Krupps are
manufacturing which hurls one-tbn projectile
three miles further than the best British weapon
and which would permit the Germans to command
the English from Calais to distance six miles
inland
Purely from the viewpoint of scientific achieve
ment 1t is bit Disappointing to us to learn that
the Germans have produced guns that shoot further
than our newest and best. Maybe. however if we
keep at 1t, we ultimately can produce one better
than theirs. Then the temporary satisfaction would
be ours until the Kaiser in turn raised the limit
again. However that may be- it is gratifying for
us to know that the only way in which we are likely
to have to try out the relative merits of orr ouns
and Germany's is on paper

in the theatres, will go long way toward improv-
ing the drama in his country and in ours.
There are not many current plays, of course,
which can be expected to take their place In this
country permanent literature. 1t must be remem-
bered that the works of dramatsts not intended
to please readers of printed pages, but to enter
tain theatregoers through the interpretations OF
actors and actresses Histrionic conditions of ne
cessity limit the literary value of dramas, and as
result dramas as pieces of literature have been OF
less interest to average readers than have novels
The very fact, however that the reading of plays
has its difficulties gives such reading its advantages
In the perusal of printed drama one is required to
use much imagination, not only to picture the sur
roundings in the different scenes but also to visual
ize the various characters. For,-excepting in
dramas such as Ibsen's in which the settings of
and so forth generally given in detail,-
there are in printed plays explanatory or de-
scriptve passages between dialogues for the read
er's enlightenment, as there are in novels. The
reader of drama, whether it be of Shake
speare' works popular production of the pres
ent day, must with the lack of stage interpretation
be himself both actor and auditor.

So unsightly was her appearance she
gave up all social life. Failing to find
relief with doctors and remedies, she
became despondent and discouraged
After few weeks treatment with
liquid ointment the sealy redness dis
appeared, pustues healed and she was
entirely cprHd. A few months follow
ing her mother wrote that Amolox had
done wonders for her daughter, and she
was married last week. Seems like a
fairy tale, doesn't it' Yet this is the
truth. This is only one of the many
eases that are being reported in towns
where Amolox has been introduced and
its merits have become known. Amo-
