The airship has proved its value IN
war many times during the great Euro
pean conflict Its spectacular achieve
ments have been exploited In news
dispatches until readers have become
sated with repetitions Of the same
feats. as bomb dropping. battles in air
md scouting. Another feature Of the
airship work has been exploited ON
grand scale In the Bulgarian cam
paisn. An airship travelled from base
in Hungary to Sofia. capital Of Bull
garia, a distance of GOO miles. in eight
hours. All this was not remarkable.
but the ship carried the Duke of Meek
lenburg on a military errand to confer
with King Ferdinand and his military
stan. The conference over. the ship
lifted anchor and sailed straight back
to headquarters In Hungary. II often
happens In war that nothing short Of
all actual meeting Of widely separated
military chiefs will solve difhcult
problem. The airship which goes ev-
erywhere. across the toughest country
and through the most dangerous war
zone. makes such meetings possible.

Ing ball. which on his return he. with
out solicitation. dropped at the catch

a ball the dog darted across the dia-
mond and retrieved 1t for him. Al
most human interest was depicted oil
the countenance OF the animal when
ever the catcher got under the bat for
close work. Then the four footed ball
player crouched as closely as he could
behind the catcher. and by his intent
alertness cut a comical figure. Some
times the boys would wrangle a. to

The necessity which the allies W
Europe have had to meet Of concen-
trating the power higher up is one
that might have been and probably
was foreseen. The combination was
that Of 4 republic. liberal monarchy
and an autocraty. Naturally the sys-
TENS Of the three governments are dis
similar. Russia il supposed to be an
example Of one man power. Theoret-
ically 1t Is 30. but practically there u
a division In the cOunsels. Now. 1t has
been said that the Russian drive west
ward to the German border. which
ended in disaster. was the pet project
of the Grand Duke Nicholas. Upheav-
ais In the cabinets Of England and
France indicate a lack Of harmony.
This IL but natural and could happen
In n country waging war alone. The
significant thing about the new plan
Of one military head u that 1t has been
forced upon the allies almost at. the
point Of the bayonet. What was at
first considered q weakness in Ger
many. the overpowering personality Of
the kaiser, has proved an element Of
strength in campaigning. One Of the
greatest lessons Of the war will be
demonstrated by the outcome Of this
swapping Of horses while crossing the
stream. Virtually the head Of the
great entente war council will he the
dictator Of the entente powers.

considerable quantities in the north

In late years apparently less has been
found. Recently. however. further de-
posits Of iron ore have been found in
the province Of Drenthe, where It was
discovered previously. These deposits
were revealed by the digging Of peat in
