ZEPPELINS VALUE LIMITED
That Is Henry Woodhouse's View of Result
Of Combat.

A despatch was received from Toronto last
night saving that Flight b-Lieutenant
r. Al. Warneford was not known to those
interested in aviation in that city, nor were
the army records available to tell his home.
Henry Woodhouse of the Aero Club of
America commented on his exploit last night:
cone thing that the incident seems to
prove is that the Germans have not discov-
cred the non-infammable gas with which
they said that they filed their Z4ppelins.
"Another thing it seems to show is that
the zoppelins do not have the gun platforms
on top to prevent attacks from above by
aeroplanes. as has been claimed.
Furthermore, the incident points out
strongly that the value of Zeppelin is strict
ly limited, and that a Zeppelin is compare
lively far less efficient than an aeroplane. A
Zeppelin cannot operate safely by daylight
because it is a big target for guns on the
ground, and because it is likely to be chased
and destroyed by ~aeroplanea as this one was"

there are on the northern coast Of Norway
just beyond Sweden, a large number of the
fiords which would make better harbors than
any Russia has on her northern front.
These events of recent years have accen-
tuated Swedish distrust Of Russia.
First-The change wL:oh has changed
Finland from an autonomous dependency
of the Russian crown into practically a con-
qnered province. This begun IN 1898, and
has resulted in the roofing ont of the Swed-
ish and Finnish culture, the extensive re-
placing Of the Finnish by the Russian Ian
guage, and the destruction of the conslitu-
tonal liberties of Finland.
Second The continued extension of Rus
sian strategic railways on the north toward
the Swedish and Norwegian frontiers.
Third-The separation of Norway AMI
Sweden in 1905, which caused bad blood
between the two countries. almost led to
war, and reduced the likelihood of co-opera-
ton against Russia and Norway's success
in obtaining from the Triple Entente a
guarantee of her neutrality.
Fourth-The consequent growth of friend
ly feeling between Sweden aud the enemies
of the Triple Entente.
FIfth-Varfous incidents of espionage
which came to a climax early in 1914 when
Baron Assanowitch, an attacle of the Rus
sian Legation in Stockholm, was transferred
to Sofia at the request of the Swedish Gov
6 nment and the dissolution by the Swedish
Government, soon after, of the marriage of
Prince Wilhelm, second son of the King,
with Princess Marie Pavlovna. q cousin of
the Gear, who was accused of giving Swed-
ish military secrets to the attache.
This and other espionage developments
b bought to a head the Swedish suspicion Of
Russia. Thirty thousand peasants marched
to he capital on Feb. 6, 1914, and demand
ell an increase of taxes for national defense.
An anti-militarist Cabinet was overthrown
and newer ard heavier war taxes were
voted.
This was the condition when the war began
in August. Tue first result was to bring
about almost at once "a impeachment be-
tween Sweden and Norway. This marked
the beginning of closer relations between
all the scandinavian countries, Denmark,
Norway aud Sweden. A conference of the
three kings at Malmoe, Sweden, on Dc.
Is 10, resulted in an understanding for
common action.
Ever since the war started Russia has
apparently maintained a conciliatory attitude
toward Sweden, which has been in strong
contrast with the frequent sinking Of Swe-
dish merchant ships of late by German sub
marines.-N. Y. Times, It'll Joute.

Washingto.. Two friends

correspondence for forty-fve years

week. One is G. Is. Mitchell, of Ow-

after the national encampment of the

County.

county.
In the campaign which ended last
Tuesday, the Republicans made a
clean, honest, decent, respectable
fight There were good, live, red
blooded Republicans who worked
faithfully and untiringly in every sec
tion of the county for the success of
the State and Judicial District tick
cts. They felt that there was some
thing worth while to work for; that
the records of the Democratic candi-
dates for state offices and the princi-
pie of the third term candidates in
the district offices and the principle
of third term candidates in the dis
trict justified them in doing all they
could to see to it that these records
and principles should not receive the
support and encouragement of the
people.
Those who were leaders in the cam
paign have no cause for personal re-
greet because of their activities. They
went out into the country and made
the best fight they knew how to
make. They met with a strong, ac-
tive opposition on the part of the
Democratic leaders. The best of per-
sonal feeling prevailed on both sides
throughout the campaign, and out of
the wreck of battle there is nothing
left to those who took an active part
but a feeling of good will and good
fellowship.
