 Close of War

Washington, October LA review oi
 ''anti- dumping legislation in force ir Canada, Australia and British South Africa has been prepared by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce in con nection with proposals to protect Ameri- can industry from unfair competition al the close of the European war
 Secretary of Commerce Redfield has announced that he will propose such leg islation at the winter session of Congress to prevent foreign manufacturers from flooding the American market in an eff fort to stifle new industries built up under war conditions
 Canada and British South Africa pre-. vent what Is called dumping" by tariff law that imposes on all goods sold te importers at price less than the "faii home market price" a special tariff equa

NO LOWER HOUSE FOR CHINA THIS YEAR Yuan Deems Step Inadvis- able and Postpones It
 12 Months

Picking, August M.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. .)-Notwithstan that the election laws recently promul- gated by President Yuan Shi-kai called for the election of a lower house of the Chinese legislative body, by September of this year, it has been decided to de- fer the election until another year. Under prooont conditions the President thought 1t inadvisable to install the lower house of Congress and has notified the mem bers of the Tsan Cheng Yuan that they will continue to act for the Li Fla Yuan as the lower house Is to be called.
 The Tsan Cheng Yuan is an appointed body rather than an elective one, and consists of 50 members designated by the President. It corresponds in way to the Senate of the United States. At least it was originally intended that this body should have much the same func- tions as the upper house of Congress in America but under changed conditions brought about by alleged plots among members of the Chinese Congress the President dissolved Congress and reor' ganized the government on a basis which he rega rded as better suited to Chinese conditions
 Under the new arrangement, the Tsan Yuan Is a sort of state council which rati- fies the executive orders and stands as a substitute for the bicameral organiza- tion which the President promises to the country later.
 The members of the Senate or state council have been advised that they vii resume sessions in September and con tinue indefinitely to perform their owr duties as well as those of the lower house of Congress

FRENCH AWATORS
 WILL AID BRITISH Dozen Experts in England Now to Help in Keeping
 Off Zeppelins

London, September 21.-(Correspond- ence of Associated Press.)-Nearly 8 dozen French aviators. all of them picked men, have come to England to aid British fliers in keeping off Zep- pelins, according to report.
 The Paris air patrol has been re- markedly effective. Though the battle line Is less than 50 miles from the city, Paris has been virtually immune for months from air attacks an immunity doubtless due to the fact that day and night French birdmen are on the wing over the city.
 Until the raid of September 8, Eng land hardly took the Zeppelin raids seriously. But when the city proper was attacked by the raiders a great cnange came. Lighting restrictions, already severe, were made even more drastic, the air service was reorgan- ized with the appointment of Admiral Sir Percy Scott as the head of ths forces defending London and new and more powerful anti-aircraft guns were installed at strategic points.
 The French aviators, it is said, ars drilling the English fliers in the arr , of pursuing Zeppelins in a manner that the French have proved effective. Int 1 English, 1t is said, spiral upward wher a Zeppelin is sighted. This process re. 1 quires considerable time.

Battlefield Surgery

Aoh 1At-1AtSs
 The award by the Paris Academic aes Sciences of the Lecomte triennia1 prise of a2000 to Sir Almroth Wright. the great bacteriologist, directs attention to the changes which have taken place during the war in the treatment of wounds. Be- fore the day of Lord Lister, who intro duced the antiseptic method in 1865, the number of deaths from blood poisoning among injured persons and those upon whom operations had been performed was enormous.
 Lister proved that this could be avoided by cleanliness and by disinfecting the wounds and everything brought into con- tact with them. This method (called anti- septic) was adopted in all civilized coun- tries but during the past few years the use of disinfectants has been abandoned, and surgeons have relied solely upon ab- solute cleanliness (called the asepttc method). The change was due to the opinion that disinfectants interfered with the natural healing and disinfecting pro- cess of the human body.
 When the war started, owing to tho dirty condition of the wounds. the sur geons reverted in many cases to the anti septic, method, hoping thereby to render the dirt innocuous Then Sir Almroth Wright, MT. Goadby, and other great bac- teriologists, pointed out that a mixture of dirt and dIsinfectants impedes the Cow from the wound of the lymph. Natu,c s cleanser, and that, instead of using dis infectants, the wounds should be properly drained by the use of suitable dressings Thousands of valuable lives and ltaiDs have thus been saved. Now the bacteri-
 ologists are talking about inoculatinG beforehand against blood poisoning. jsist as they do against typhoid. If this idea proves successful. wounds will be robbed of half their dangers.

How Aeroplanes Signal r, fho 1el.- rr,t D;%~


 To a commander the value of mli- tary aeroplane Is its power to locate hostile artillery and direct gunfire, rather than its bomb dropping possi- bilities. Thus it is very necessary that pilot several thousand feet in the air should be able to communi- cate with the headquarters staff on earth so that he may convey the neces- sary information for the guidance of gunners hurling shells at targets miles ahead which they cannot see. The French are using very ingenious method of signalling from an aero plane by means of soot clouds. An apparatus filled with lampblack rests near the hand of the aviator, and when he presses a lever some of this soot passes down a pipe and is dis charged in a black cloud. The pipe is so delicately arranged that the clouds may be small or large. The operator can spell out the Morse telegraphic code in little clouds, and they can be read from earth when the aviator is 1000 feet high. ..-t s .ei sleA Another Clever means of signalling from aircraft is that carried out by means of lamps and mirrors. A lamp which has a flash of 10000 candle power sends piercing rays of light through tube fitted with powerful l magnifying glasses When a message
  in the required direction, presses a button. and a brilliant light flashes out, long or short according to the pressure. The officers on earth re- ceive, the message and may send . | reply in the same way, being provided with similar mirrors and lamps. The 1 rays of light sent out are almost as bright as sunlight, so that they can l be seen with the naked eye for dis tance of four miles in the daytime and at night for distance of eight miles l When military aviators wish to drop | written communication to earth with out descending they utilize an in- 1 genious bomb. This contains the docu- ment, and the proiectile is weighed l so that 1t falls sharp end first As 1 the end strikes the ground a trigger Is released which sets fire to B. torch l on top and thus the location of the bomb Is indicated day or night.
 The stationary balloons which are | being used in large numbers. at the 1 front are in constant communication with earth though. they float at q height of over 1000 feet. Telephone wires are attached to the guide rope l which secures the aircraft to searth and the observer aloft and the off l.cers acn earth exchange messages by 1 telephone as simply as though the, II were, carrying on a business conver- sation in the city

 Padgett Monday

Washington. october 1.-President Wilson will discuss with Secretary Daniels and Representative Padgett chairman of the House naval affairs committed next Monday navy plans in connection with the national defense programme to be presented to Con gress.
 In previous conferences with the President only general outlines of pro- posed increases in appropriations have been taken up. Secretary Daniels said today No definite decision has been reached. he explained, as to the spe- cific amount of the appropriation to be urged for each branch of the serv- ice or as 10 the number of battleships submarines or aeroplanes to recom- mend. The secretary is known, how ever to favor an increase in submar- ines which virtually would be double the number in commission or building and also to believe that the aeronaut- ieal equipment of the navy should be largely expanded No definite indica- ton has been given as to battleship appropriations to be urged.

A Promising Crank Year

TOIu tAc 1SCW LOh n k,dh
 It is entirely natural in these exciting times that there should be, as apparently there is a larger and more aggressive mobilization of the national crank forces than usual The permanent first-line ar ray of our standard cranlSs, who are al- ways with us, has certainly been a good deal swollen of late by accessions of the more violent and frantic types, the result presumably, of the worlds tumult and turmoil. Cranks rampant and cranks couchant; cranks roaring and believing because sense demanded moderation and restraint, and busybody cranks prattling about peace because this is the one par ticular time when to do so Is most Irri- tatingly absurd. Then We have instances of physically dangerous war developed cranks running amuck with murderOus knives and of pestiferous nuisance cranks running amucJx with blatherskite yawp in what should be calm and unbiased in- vestigation proceedings.
 All these and many more varieties we have had and still have with us. and 1 their number seems to threaten increase rather than diminution. Undoubtedly the crank crop this year promises bumper proportions. Yet there appears no legiti-
 mate reason for uneasiness about it. To l pC6lil WitA thCiC dic HO CTdHk cOHSSH- trations in any legislative halls, either | state or national, to be dreaded. Then
 again, the crank migratory season is now
 near at hand, They Twill soon swarm Buzzing hives of them will speedily settle
 in ''conferences' of one sort and anothe,
 in many widely scattered lakeside sea- side and mountain resorts. Vast herds will be corralled in remote chautau. quaries. The episodical, sporadic ones
 left behind should not be difficult prob.
 lem. There may be few more of them this year than usual, that Is all. The ohstrepous ones will be automat tically
 sequestered by the routine machinery oi
 public safety and order. The more fan.
 tastic will scale their dizzy peaks oi idiocy and harmlessly grimace and gibbel
 thereon as is their wont. The plain, con. ventional nuisance type will plod hi. l wearisome way among us as of yore Al
 will be tolerated and endured as of ths
 days work. just part of the sane man. burden.
