 Piggies Go to Market.
 Those who had occasion to go with in a quarter of a mile of the railroad tracks this morning about 10 o'clock were astonished by a combination of weird noises sounding not unlike a combination of a dozen steam circus pianos.

The cars were constructed in such a way as to make room for three tiers of pigs and by this arrangement several hundred were carried in the cars. AS it was just about time for feeding when the car came into Der lin the animals were unusually noisy.

May l be permitted to Invite to your

value in dollars of our dyestuffs ex-
ported in 1913 IN relation to the value
in dollars OF the dyestuire imported in
1914 bears no similar relation to the
quantity. the cost OF AmC rican artificial

of instances excessively greater than the
cost of the foreign dyestuffs imported
in 1914.
The reason for the great demand for
dysstuffs from abroad to-day Is because.

The Capture OF the Herr Professor.

1t must be assumed that the cable
operator dropped an unnecessary en-
into the family name of the hero
mentioned in this Reuter- despatch
from the front:
Among the captives taken at Thlau-
court was Professor OTTo ScHMIERN-
KAsE, the exploter Of poison gas as a
form Of civilized torture"
In these brief lines our evening
contemporaries dismissed carelessly
the important loss to Germany
for the period Of the war, at least
of tho noblest product Of Kultur,
and the sweetest.
Reuters correspondent, however is
mistaken. Professor ScHMIERKAsE
did not invent Gas earlier editions
had. it) or even exploit, poison gas.
SO far as known, the professor never
harmed a man in his life. His role
was rather that of prophet. His per-
sonality has been studied by the Ger
mans for years and his philosophy
has become II cult, not only In the
Fatherland, but even beyond It's Dor
ders. From this 1t might have been
predicted that typical kultural dis
tortion would evolve the idea Of poi.

ITALYS NATIONAL AIR.
Americans Have Not Yet Learned to
Recognize 1t.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sir:
have noticed with some establishment
and not n little disgust on the part
of n few friends that in New York the
Italian national air does not receive the
same consideration as that of tho other
allies.
Yesterday, at the close OF the concert
of the Marine Band in Madison Square,
observed that soldiers and sailors
stood at attention and the public re-
moved their hats when the band played
the Marseilaise, the English national
hymn, &c, while soldiers and sailors re-
sumed rest position and hats were re-
placed when the band began to play the
royal Italian march.
Please to note that the march came
right after the Marseilaise and pre-
coded the English national air
Is this. with regard to soldiers and
sailors, the result of superior orders.
and on the part OF the public the con-
sequence OF their ignorance of this air :?
] do not know.
trust, however, that you will pub
lisl few words on this matter so that
military men and the public. at least
during the present time, may show the
same respect for the italian national
air as they accord to the national airs
OF the other allies. / think / may say
that Italy is not the least among the
nations of the Entente, and that she Is
brilliantly carrying out the part as
signed to her UBERTo CoRuzzI.

SPANISH INFLUENZA.
1t Was "Juckson's Itch" and "Tyler's
Grippe"

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. VIII
you allow me to point out that the So
called Spanish influenza" is a very old
complaint, and that perhaps a good
deal more is being made of 1t than is
necessary? 1t Is epidemic catarrh

and has been known as a catarrhal
disease since 1923. So at least we learn
through DIR. Frank Baker of Washing
ton. d. c., who supplied the medical
Technology In the preparation of the
STANDARD Dictionary"
In addition to this we owe to a spe-
cialist correspondent the fact that this
disease has been known to man under
variety of names. For instance, In
Andrew Jackson's time 1s29) it was
known as "Jackson's itch" When
Tyler was in the political arena his op-
ponents called It "Tyler's grippe"-a
name OF which the latter word has sur
vived for years and is still in use in
our own time. This word grippe" Is
one OF the French names for influenza.
To the Russians 1t is known as the
"Chinese catarrh," the Germans were
wont to call It the Russian pest (Shades
OF Lenine and Trotzky-would that they
were shades y. The Italians appro-
priately call It the German disease,
for 1t reached them through Teuton'c
sources, and the French called 1t also
the Italian fever, no doubt associating
II with the Roman fever. and Spa sh
catarrh but to them belongs the credit
OF introducing the term influenza" as
generic name. This they are sad to
have done in the seventeenth century
when they attributed the disease to GER

No American aviator had a finer
single exploit to his credit than Lieu
tenant DAVID +. PUTNAM, who has
gone the way of LUFBERy, THAw,
ROOSEVELT and many others of our
young heroes of the air.
His performance above Rheims
last June, when he engaged ten en-
envy Albatrosses and brought down
half of them, has not been surpassed
in the war unless perhaps by FoNCK,
the greatest Of the French fllers since
GUYNEMER.
PUTNAM was not only great avia.

went into the clouds for his foe as
his ancestor, ISRAEL, went into the

successful machine in the Caproni
triplane. 1t is claimed for the larg-
est OF these bombing machines that
1t could carry at least Eve tons Of
explosives besides necessary fuel and
attain a speed Of eighty miles an
hour. This machine, which Is al
ready in use by the Allied nations,
would appear an equal to the new
German plane. Some Of the Caproni
machines were used in a raid made
last August upon the Austrian naval
bases at Trieste and Pola, raid
so successful that the objective was
attained and that Of the 232 air
planes employed only one was lost.
The superiority Of the Allied air
service over the German has been
declsively shown in all the recent
encounters along the western front,
and the success of their raids has
been proved by damages to the war
Industries Of the Rhine valley. 1t
was evidently to meet this superiority
Of service that the Germans have
tried this new type Of aircraft. That
Its first trial was not a success is
shown by the fact that three Of the
planes were shot down within the
Allied lines. The giant airplane
stands good chance of being
scrapped along with the monster sub
marine and the long distance gun.

The New German AIrpIanes.

A despatch from the British front
in France reports the appearance in
bombing raid over the Allied line
in the st. Quentin sector of num-
Der of German alrplanes of huge size
carrying bombs thirteen feet long
which contained 1000 pounds of ex-
plosives." This is evidently the new
type of air machine to which the
German military authorities referred
in connection with their plans for
the building Of monster submarines"
and giant long distance guns.
The production of large plane
that would successfully meet all the
war conditions sought in the German
machine has undoubtedly been one
Of the aims of the military aircraft
builders. Early in the war the Rus
slams, it was asserted, had solved
the problem in the large Sykorsky
airplanes. 1t was discovered, how
ever, upon actual trial on the eastern
llohl, tlhb VII aNNouht VI DIV" cPSth
1t was an easy target for the anti
aircraft guns, and that even If 1t
escaped these defences 1t was from
Its unwieldiness no match for the
small, fast German machines.
The Germans in their first bomb
ing raids depended largely upon the
Zeppelins, which were capable Of car
rying three or four tons Of explo,
slves and of remaining in the air
forty or fifty hours continuously. The
fact that they proved n good target
for land defences and were forced
TO fly mt such great heights practi.
cally compelled the abandonment of
their use. They wore succeeded by
II Gotha biplane which was capable
of carrying as many as fifteen bombs
and three guns.
The Italians have developed a most
