Speed Indicators.

AZ useful instrument, especially in
clouds, is the air speed Indicator This
tells the pilot his speed through the
air. It also helps him to know wheth-
er he is rising or descending. For in
stance, If the speed Of the machine fly
ing leYel is 100 miles an hour, any
speed registered above that will show
that the machine is coming down, and
anything below it that the machine
is climbing. The difference In speeds
will show to what extent the craft is
descending or climbing. There is also
a proper fore-and-aft level to indicate
climb and descend, but for various
technical reasons the pilot usually de-
pends on the air speed Indicator.

Aerial Tank,

An aerial tank has been invented
and put into practical use by italian
soldiers who have astounded the world
by their extraordinary feats in noun
tain warfare. An Austrian machine
gun emplacement was so situated on
q mountain side that 1T poured q har-
assing fire into an italian post. The
Austrian position was unassailable by
ordinary means. but it was necessary
that 1t be wiped out. A "Teleferica"
car, many of which are operated by
the Italians across chasms and up
mountain sides, was armored and
equipped with machine guns. Volun-
teers were called for, and from the
many who responded two were chosen
to man the guns. This improvised
aerial dreadnaught was then swung
out across the valley, After one or
two exploration trips at a dizzy height,
the men in the car finally located the
Austrian post and quickly put it out
of action.

NEW GERMAN CHANCELLOR
PROVED TOOL OF KAISER

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE idea
SO carefully fostered by the German
sepi-official press bureau that the
appointment of Prince Maximillan,
OF Baden, as Chancellor, was along
step toward the democratization of
Germany, is completely dissipateo
by documents written by the Prince
copies of which have just reached
Washington. One is the text of a
speech the Prince delivered last De-
cember in the Baden First Chamber,
of Which he was president and the
other is letter written last Janua-
Iry to his cousin, Prince Hohenlohe.
These papers show the Prince in
his true character and are accepted
here as we'll justifying President
Wilson's inquiry asto whether in
seeking peace he speaks for those In
Germany who have conducted the
war up to this time. They disclose
the Prince as holding in cynical con-
tempt the proponent of democratic
government for the Central Pow
ers.
The letter was called forth by the
speech, in which in some quarters
was criticised because Of the unnat-
ural combination of lofty Christian
doctrine with brutal German militia
rism. The speech drew telegram
of commentator from the Kaiser,
the Prince wrote his cousin, and the
junkers caused thousands of copies
of it to be printed for general dis
tribution over the empire.
In the letter to his cousin, Prince
Max disclosed his true feelings when
he said:
"As l am opposed to western par
liamentarism for Germany and Ba-
den, | was obliged to say to the peo-
pie OF Badenfi or rather of Germany,
that | understood its merit, but
that such institutions were not real
remedies for them"
