IIALY'S ADVANTAGE.

Italy will enter the war proited BY
the lessons learned during the last
ten months of war. In that period
she has been developing her strength
preparatory to taking the final plunge.

Military experts are at q loss to
gauge the efficiency Of the Italian
army. History does not show a very

WILL CONSUMPTION BE NEcEs
SARY7

England in her many struggles has
never been forced to resort to con.
scription except in a very limited dc.
gree. Will this struggle so tax her
vitality that levies will have to be
made and men forced to fight whether
they desire to or not?
The British have always objected
to CONSUMPTION on the grounds thai
love of mother country would prove
sufficient to fill the depleted ranks.
United States during the Civil war
was driven to this means in order to
a V the Republic. England today is
facing a crisis upon which turns the
very existence OF the United King.
dom. Will her sons rush to her dc.
tense without the lash of ,onscrip.
ton? ,Stg...t y.
There are many living today who
recall the draft riots IN New York
during the COS. CONSUMPTION will
prove as unpopular in England toda?
as it did in this nation more than
fifty years ago. If the titanic struggle
keeps up, doubtless England will have
to resort to drafting men for service.
Not even during the Napoleonio
struggle did England face such a ter.
rible loss of men as in the present
war Of nations. The problem Of sc.
curing recruits fast enough is beconr.
ing more serious every day.

DEFECTIVE GOODS.

Paris is complaining that American
manufacturers are not living up TO
their contracts for war materials.
Several large orders have been car
celed because the goods have not
come up to the specifications. One
complaint alleges specifically that 50.
900 pairs OF shoes were u~nwearable
that 2O0,0 pairs of socks were found
10 be 70 per cent cotton, when they
should hare been 20 per ce,, wooden,
and general disregard OF specifications
is noted.
1t is to be hoped that the reports
are exaggerated, but one OF the rea
sons given why this nation has failed
to capture as much of the trade in
manufactured goods as it should, is
that our exporters have not been
careful in keeping up the quality Of
goods or putting them up in packages
strong enough TO stand ,hs~Iip.
This is the time for America TO win
trade from all quarters of the globe.
Special care should be4taken to keep
up the quality and to safeguard the,
goods against damage. We may have
a monopoly now in certain lines, bu!
it is only an artificial one and We
cannot hold the trade unless We de-
liver the goods.

AEROPLANE vs.. ZEPPELIN.

Such an eminet authority as Gabriel
Noisin declares that the last day Of
the dirigfble is in sight and the first
days of the aeroplane barely begun.
He urges that the aeroplane can do
everything the Zeppelin can, only bet
ter.
His statement, made recently, is in
answer to the critics who minimize
the value of air craft as a factor in
the European war.
There are several reasons, accord.
ing to this expert, why the aeroplanc
is superior as a wal craft to the Zep-
pelin. By day the Zeppelin is forced
to limit the scope of its activities, and
for reconnaissance work it fails, as
most of its work must be done under
the cover of night.
The work Of scouting in modern
warfare falls largely to the air craft,
argues Voisin. In this field Of action
the aeroplane is infinitely superior
to the Zeppelin.
Experiments with aeroplane arma.
ment during the war have indicated
that their power to carry weight is in
creasing rapidly, owing to the increas.
ne power OF the engines. The chances
an aeroplane has against a Zeppelin,
the French expert sums up as FOL-
lows:
1.-THE Zeppelin, for all practical pur.
poses, does not exist. Should it be
foolish enough to com over our lines
in the daytime, and our artillery fail
to destroy it, it is mere chld's play
for an a~eropiane to attack it and boH.-
bard it with success. And there re-
mains always, ii other methods fail.
the radical solution Of ramming a
Zeppelin with an aeroplane. In case
Of necessity, not a single French avn
ator would hesitate to do that The

 Then a mans body was found in the Merced rived. A broken finger and other marks tended to show it was Compton. The wife went to Mo desto and identified him and theb ody was brought to Hayward, where it was buried by the woodmen of the World with full fraternal honors.
 Deputy Sheriffs Spares and Brown and Constable La Cunha of Hayward recently found Compton at a lumber yard in Pacheco. Coming to the con- clusion that Compton was not dead, the officials immediately lodged him in the Alameda county jail, after which the. wife was notified and there was a. reunion.
 The Woodmen of the World in Hay ward are seeking explanations and wondering whom they buried. It was a big funeral and Constable La Cunha. was among those who had contribut- ed flowers.

Keppler, vice-presi- dent of the machinists, who was still in Bridgeport, but 1t was feared that the reported lockout of workers at the Bennington shops there might defer temporarily local action on the eight hour day and minimum wage de- mands.
 Meanwhile the district leaders of the -machin1sts and allied metal trades workers ara preparing for the expected strike call which will follow the re- fasa1 Of the employers not only in the Bliss plant but in others in this city to concede the working demands
