TO ESTABLISH FRANCE.

Four men lunched together recentlyys One Of
them. was vice president Of the United States
Rubber company, one an attache Of the British
embassy, another was an A. E. F. major, who
was connected with some rather important bust
ness concerns in the United States, while the
fourth Was an Italian banker with vision, says
- writer in the N. e. A. Service.
Az is usual the man with the vision did most
Of the talking. His name is Mercurio and while
an Italian he has long been established as .
banker, IN Paris These are some Of the things
he said:
Long before the war closed some Of US had
been studying the steps necessary to take for the
future Of France.
Against some discouragements have form
ed group Of men, who, while they win, hope,
serve national ends, win have this special aim
IN view-to provide sound basis for individual
a. distinguished from national aims. We have
called this organization the "Societe Francaice
ld'Action Economique." In France Spain, Italy
and elsewhere we have secured the services OF
leading engineers, publicists, commercial experts
and economists One group is devoted to study
and Is equipped to aid in practical ways the
execution Of plans which may be approved. The
purpose Of another group is the survey Of exist
ing business, Investigation for the establishment
Of new business and in general the stuly Of in
dustrial undertakings at home and abroad.
TO the extent that we shall succeed we
realize that we must be neutral, we must be
sure, we must be responsible. We are indie
pendent Of any particular group or interest in
any country"
The investigations of this society are already
responsible for two great projects, both now in
course of execution. One is the establishment
Of train ferries between France and England, a
similar project being under survey for Spain
another is the reorganizat ION Of the water borne
traffic of the Seine and aims to make Paris in
fact seaport.

THE GREAT FLIGHT.

Surprise has been shown that the British at
tempt to fly the Atlantic should be made from
this side Of the ocean.
Withsa secretly built Sopwith two-seater with
q 12-cyiinder 375 horsepower Rolls Royce Eagle
engine. Harry Hawker, pilot. and Lieutenant
Commander Mackenzie Grieve, royal navy navi-
gator, sailed from Liverpool to attempt flight
from st. Johns, NJ, to Ireland. 1t now looks as
though the big flight win be race between
Hawker and Lieut. Commander Patrick Bel
linger, who has been selected by the y. S. navy
department to pilot one Of the three giant navy
seaplanes now being co>lpleted at Rockaway
Point.
The proposed French flight Is from Africa to
South Americas shorter distance
The reason why the Britishers, should decide
to fly from America to Europe IS because the
prevailing winds blow from west to east.
If it were not for that it would be better to 60
the other way, The movement Of the earth, on
its axis is from west to east, and If it were pos
sible for an arplane rising in the air say at Lon
don to remain poised there Absolutely withol>
any motion at all New York would swing beneath
it in five hours
But the movement of the air with the earth
is such that no motionless poise is possible. The
machine must fly. The flight eastward is easier
on account of the air movement. While the
Newfoundland Ireland route is the best course,
it crosses an uncertain weather area. In general
the northeast trade winds in the northeast area
of the Atlantic become southwest or counter
trade wind above $1,000 feet, and blows at q
miles an hour. At $4,000 feet the velocity Of the
west winds is 80 miles an hour. $. s. -
On the other side of the ocean the height at
which the southwest counter trade wind begins
varies greatly, being sometimes below mile
and sometimes above eight miles, 2
The Engiishmen expect to make the 1900
miles In 10 LIZ hours. Thei rmachines it is said,
could remain in the air for "a hours ct 100 miles
an hour. The real difficulties simmer down to.

VOTE ON BEER AMENDMENT.

+ Friends and foes alike Of the liquor traffic
viii await with interest the results Of the cleo
ton to be held in Michigan next Monday. when
the voters of the state viii pass upon so-called
beer and wine amendment to the present law
which provides for statewide prohibition Of the
bone dry" variety. The proposed amendment
reads as follows: = - =
& ut shall be forever lawful in this state to inn
port, transport, manufacture use, buy, sell, keep
for sale, give away, barter or furnish every kind
Of cider, wines, beer, ale and porter and to pos
sess the same in private residence. So much
of Section II, Article XVI Of this constitution
as prohibits the manufacture, sale, keeping for
sale. giving away, bartering or furnishing of
vinous, malt, brewed or fermented liquors, is
hereby repealed. The legislature by general
laws shall reasonably license and regulate the
sale and keeping for sale of vinous malt, brewed
or fermented liquors; provided, however, that
the electors of each city, village or township for
ever shall have the right to prohibit the manu-
facture, sale or keeping for sale of vinous, malt
brewed or fermented liquors within such CITY,
village or township"
Attention is called by opponents of the saloon
traffic to the fact that the wording of this pro-
posed amendment is such that, in reality far
more may be included within its scope than APP
pears at first sight on the surface.
The State Anti-Saloon League is circulating
widely q statement under the caption, 1.-THE
Forty Points," in which an attempt is made to
point out the full significance of the proposals.
1t is claimed by the anti-saloon leaders that the
adoption of the amendment would amount to a
repeal Of the local option law and would prevent
the people from initiating by petition any new
option law giving a county the right to prohibit
such liquors as are mentioned in the proposed
amendment.
