day, displacing the water power bill.
This will be done at Wilson's re-

CHARLOTTESVILLE Ea.-The city
of Charlottesville won big victory in
the annexation proceedings which have

Fishburns, decided in favor of city eX-
tension. All the territory asked for
will be taken in. with the exception
of the grounds of the University of

effect July l. will give Charlottesville
a population of about $4,000, making it
a city of the first class.

Aerial Warfare.

from To Deyton Nsws.
The casualties that have occurred in
Che air during the war are unnum-
bered- That is to say. the world has
no way of knowing just how many
men have met their deaths while
operating aeroplanes or Zeppelins, be-
cause the nations at war do not give
out the details of such things, unless
they happen to the other fellow but
il would seem that with so many men
IN the air at all times. as is the case
now, considerable number of fatali-
ties must have resulted.
Foreign newspapers claim that the
Germans have brought down 1876 hos
tile aircraft since the beginning Of the
war The German government makes
no claim, but the number seems rea-
sonabIe- 1t is known that France alone
has lost ffty-seven flying machines
since the war started. and something
like a third of them have been brought
down By the enemy's fire. England ad-
mits she has lost forty-seven aero
planes. and the Russians have lost
something like twenty-five but we
have no further figures available.
II is known. however, that many Ger
man aeroplanes and several Zeppelin.
have been destroyed for the Germans.
In nearly every instance there has. of
course. been loss of life. but when II is
remembered that all of the warning
nations must have hundreds of these
machines in the air, the aggregate of
losses is not great. Especially is II not
great when one considers that the
operator of an aeroplane or Zeppelin
enemy and subject to attack by other
machines of the same kind and by the
Gunfire of the enemy. In fact, all
things considered. 1t would seem that
as IL he were upon horse making his
way through a war-stricken region.

HYATTSVILLE. February 26.-Mem-
bers of the delegation representing
Prince Georges county in the legisla-
ture are practically a unit in favor of
the bill to issue bonds in the sum of
$250,00O for the construction of "A state
road between the District of Columbia
and Annapolis. but when it comes TO
the question of fixing the route for the
highway the proposition takes on an
other phase. and that is the political
future of the representatives. Just
how Senator William F. Holmead and
Delegates MetZerott. Fisher Van Horn
and Blandford stand on the proposition
is not known The only thing that can
be said is that Senator Holmead and
Delegates Metzerott and Van Horn are
from the upper section and would, po-
litically at least. favor the old stage
road route. while Delegates Fisher and
Blandford may be regarded as lower
county men and for similar reason
might favor the Central avenue route.
1t is certain that politics will cut a big
figure in the final settlement of the
problem.

A bill is now in course of preparation
which, if enacted into law, will prac-
fically legislate out of office all but
three of the justices of the peace in
Prince Georges county. These Offices
cannot be abolished without an amend
ment to the state constitution, but I'M

remains with the present justices that
their commissions, save for whatever

From the Toronto Globe.
With the practice of making French
speeches to French-speaking audiences,
no fault can reasonably be found. II
is a decided advantage to the commu-
nifty generally to have English-s speak
ing public men able to speak also in
French, as there are many French
speaking public men who can speak
very well in English, and even take a
keen and effective part in parliament
tary debates. Sir Robert Borden has
learned French sufficiently well to
make speeches in it, and he is none the
worse for the accomplishment. Speaker
Sprou1e has tried to learn French well
enough to read the prayers to the
house of commons in that language as
well as in English. and with such sue
cess that late lamented rench-speak-
ing member, when asked what he
thought of DIR. Sproule's French. re-
marked that perhaps God may under
stand it,
