telegraphs that only time can solve
the mystery OF the giant airships Of
Germany and their noh.actsvity com.
bined with the German boasts. Each
OF the improved air vessels costs
roughly 100000. Then there must be
added salaries Of the $50 to 800 men
who now work night and day on the
construction Of the super-zeppelins.
The correspondent asks why so
many troops are quartered in Fried.
richshaven to protect the Zeppelin
sheds where the balloons are making.
Why, he asks, are anti-aeroplane guns
mounted upon all the heights?
So far, the correspondent says, none
Of the improved Zeppelins have been
used. Those that have done raiding
and recommending work in Poland and
France are Of old type. The I'm.

looms Is part Of the mystery. There

fail to result.
Brig. Geu. Hugh L. Scott, chief of

favorable interviews recently with
Gen. Hill, Carranza defender Of Naco,
Sonora, and also with Maytorena. Gen.
Scott, however, has been unable to OBJ
tain from Maytorena final and official
settlement OF the matter.
Gen. Scott, who came here from
Washington two weeks ago to settle
tho intermittent border trouble caused
by Mexican warfare with its accom-.
paniment Of firing acros the boundary,
had expected to dispose of the AFFAIR
early this week. He says, however,
that the situation is far firm. hopeless.
The plan proposed to the Mexican
leaders provided for the withdrawal
ofMaytorena from his blockade of Ma
co, Sonora, the evacuation of the town
by Hil and his removal to Aqua Pieta
and the neutralizing Of the Sonora Dor

ECONOMY YES, RETRENcHMEN7
MO-

We want economy in State appro.
priatlons and expenditures, but Ger.
tainly no retrenchment. The per
capita cost of administering the state
government in West Virginia Is only
$3.50 as compared with $1,000 for
Pennsylvania and several times
$3.50 by most other States. The cost
Of government in West Virginia Is
about the lowest, II not the very low,
est in the Union. Where is the man
who will say it is not worth twice
$3.50 to him to live under the protec
ton Of the government of West vir
ginia. One Of our troubles Is that
there are many thousands Of people
who are not even putting UP their
$3.50 each year. We are not much In
favor of tinkering with the constitu
ton, but provision to make the vot
ing privilege contingent upon the pay
ment Of at least the capitation tau
would help a great deal to wipe out
the deficit in the. State treasury.
