OUR INADEQUATE AERO SERVICE.

OUR INADEQUATE AERO SERVICE.
, The aviation corps in connection with
the United States punitive expedition
into Mexico was composed of eight aero
planes at the outset, and of that number
three were promptly put out OF commits
sion or found TO be inefficient for the
service required, leaving a sum ytotal of
five machines in actual operation during
the early stages of the operations against
Villa and at time, too, when the serv-
ices of the aviation corps were most in
demand to search out the lair of the
raider of Columbus, n. NJ. There never
was any better proof of the absolute
unpreparedness of the United States in
all departments OF army and navy. The
aviation branch of an army service has
within recent years come TO be recog-
nized as most important and its impor
lance has been demonstrated time and
rope and in Asia during the past 1911
months. Yet the United States has sat
idly by while all these demonstrations
were being made and has made practi-
cally no advance in aviation and has
failed to equip itself with enough ma
chimes to make anything more than a
ridiculous showing. We have surprising
ly few machines and our aviators have
not reached anywhere near the skill OF
the aviators of the nations now at war.
Perhaps one trouble may have been due
10 unsatisfactory engines; but even that
ioes not excuse the apparent lethargy
a most promising feature of
defense. The early failure OF
part of the aviation corps in the Mexi-
an expedition ought to prod the United
States into unwonted activity toward
up that department. We can
eadily imagine what would happen to !

powerful aeroplanes descend upon them
With hostile intent and with no defen

A man was attacked by huge rat in
the street at Bennington the other day
and was able to beat off the animal only
by dint of much kicking; Middlebury
man, while sleeping, was attacked by
rats and had one hand nearly chewed off
and was otherwise mutilated; an Albany
farmer was so oyerrun by rats that he
started a cunning campaign and shot
himself to death while trying to rid his
barn of the pest. Manifestly, along with
the preparatory work in the Swat the
fly" campaign, there ought to go 'Kill
the rat" crusade. The rat is capable of
doing as much mischief and real harm
as the fly and is ten times more objec-
tionable about the premises. Kill EN-!

The officials at the head of the Yer
mont National Guard are without doubt
making mental calculation Of the moves
incident to prompt mobilization of the
regiment in case of sudden call from
Washington. 1t is by no means outside
of the realm of probability that the mill
tia of the country will be called out for
active service either on the Mexican
border or in Mexico itself. Therefore,
little forehandedness on the part of the
officers and men will not come amiss.

DOUBLE FEATURE BILL AT HE LION

Two features compose the program at the Lion today, one a drama of the mountains and the other one of the funniest comedies shown here in
 many a day The drama is "Hesper Of The Mountains" in which the
 popular and much dimpled Lillian
 Walker plays the leading role. E.vart
 Overton, Templar Sake, Josephine
 Earle and other well known Vita
 graph players give splendid support to Miss Walker and the story of
 "Hesper or The Mountains" is one
 that will interest and entertain to q
 high degree. The comedy is simply
 knockout. for it is "Tillie's Tomato
 Surprise featuring the very fat and
 funny Marie Dressler. Tillie's To- mato Surprise" was written by Acton Davies. q brother of Maitland Davies formerly of Phoenix Marie Dresslei will be remembered in Phoenix for her work in "Tllies Punctured Ro- nance" in which she scored a hit and in "Fillie's Tomato Surprise she is thrown through a brick wall jumps from d bridge to Q moving train from which she jumps into Q big box of feathers, and as she was already covered with molasses, sht collected most of the feathers. This program will be seen at the Lion to- | day and also tomorrow. and should prove a big drawing attraction.

The North Dominion Copper Min ing and Development Corporation, of Globe, Arizona, capitalized at $5,O00,- 900, fully paid and -assessable, opened offices at Al West Adams, yesterday, and Samuel Sutherland, the secretary treasurer of the com panY stated he was well pleased witE the manner in which the Phoenix people were subscribing for his com pany's stock.
 Many samples of ore are on display, and the company is distributing a views of the property, and the Ari- zona Eeastern railroad, which was given right of way through the prop perty some years ago, and who are now planning on running spur tracks wherever they may be needed.
 A local printer got out the pros pectus" for the North Dominion.
