Messages by Missiles.-A hollow
three inch shell, fused to emit on
striking a gas of smoke like density by
day, and luminous at night, and used
TO transmit messages from division
headquarters, to advanced or exposed
positions, is another war time secret
which has now been made public.
This form Of communication was
first used by the Germans, and after
ward adopted by the Allies. A sample
of the shell-one that was captured
from the enemy during the st. Mihiel
drive-was brought home by Vice
Admiral Albert Gleaves on his return
from France.
According to Admiral Gleaves, the
shell has a range of about 1000 yards,
and is self propelling: It's velocity was
such as to require IA seconds to travel
that distance SLOW enough" the ad-
miral said, to enable an active man to
dodge it. should he see or hear it COM
ing. When it struck, it could be read

or its light by night, picked up. cap

Air Waves.-That aircraft actually
navigate a kind Of invisible sea Is re-
vealed by a series Of motion pictures,
the first Of their kind ever taken. that
show the air in motion against the
wings Of an aeroplane. Three miles OF
film were used in making the photo
graphs, and they reveal the plane, in
stead of being continuously upheld by
the air, travelling from crest to crest
of a series of waves: In more techni-
cal words, the element Of rarefaction
which produces the lifting power OF an
aeroplane Is not constant, but Is ex-
erted in intermittent moving air waves,
not unlike the waves tf the ocean.
These air waves have their period OF
followed by collapse
which, again like the sea, has its un-
dertow; and, during more than quar-
ter of the time in fight the air fiow
created by the air screws has no lifting
power on the wings. To take the pic
lures required special camera de-
v1sed by the invention section Of the
United States army.

CANADA AND TITLES.
opposition in the Dominion to Growth
of a Class System.


of Class System.
In deciding, by a vote Of 94 to 43, to
ask the British king "graciously to re-
frain" in the future from comforting
titles upon persons living in the Do
minion, the Canadian house of COM
mons brings to a head an agitation OF
long standing. 1t is victory-at least
a temporary one-for those who have
feared the transplantation of the Brit
ish class system across the Atlantic
and who have, for that reason, fought
tenaciously against the growing habit
of the British crown of awarding hon
ors to Canadians of prominence.
For many years the number Of Cana
dians who received titles bestowed by
the British king was not enough to
build up any considerable class or to
present any danger Of such class be-
coming an appreciable factor in the life
of the Dominion. But Of late the an
nual honor lists have contained more
and more Canadian names and the
tendency has thoroughly alarmed those
who cling loyalty to the conception OF
Canada founded upon the strictest
possible Interpretation of the theories
of democracy and personal equality.
This alarm has been accentuated,
and the opposition to honor giving
strengthened, by the conviction in many
quarters that the titles awarded are
seldom given with single eye to merit
or virtue. 1t is even held by many
that the services rendered have been
too seldom rendered to the Dominion
and too often to one or other OF the
British political parties or leaders.
That was notoriously the case in the
recent rapid elevation to the British
peerage of q Canadian now living in
England.
But the Canadian opposition to the
honoring of men who, having been
Canadians, decide to live abroad-is
not strong. 1t is concentrated upon
the possibility of the building up in
the Dominion of a numerous and pow
erful aristocracy, Unidentified perhaps
with a considerable portion OF the
wealth of the country and exercising
through these two mediums-social
power and money-an undue and un-
healthy influence upon the life of the
country.
Whether the king will refrain from
awarding titles to Canadians in the
future in compliance with the resolu-
ton of the Dominion legislators is an
open question. 1t is not actually a
matter for the king personally, but for
the British political parties, which
draw up the annual honor lists and
award the titles through the action OF
the monarch. So long as it remains
an advantage for both Liberals and
Unionists to retain this considerable
and useful power of giving or with
holding desirable rewards to faithful
followers it will be extremely difficult
to induce them to forego the practice.

it. and they are now talking about it

it. and they are now talking about 1t
on all sides.
After denouncing the crimes OF the
Poles, who have made plea for as
sistance, the district attorney took from
his pocket a typewriter statement
which he read with great slowness and
emphasis.
He began by saying that he had
waited five years until the people had
become calm and could fairly consider
what he had to say.
He then asked what could Georgia
reply if the Poles demanded by what
right the citizens Of the state protested
when a Jew was convicted In her
courts on the testimony of perjured
criminal and in trial that was as I'm
fair as ever stained the annals of Rus
in.
And further, the district attorney
declared, what would be our response
when this Jew was taken from prison
walls and murdered by a mob, not one
OF whom has been punished?"
Mr.. Alexander concluded by urging
that 1.-The real murderer OF Mary Pha-
gan" be duly tried and sentenced for
the crime.
1t was understood that Mr.. Alexan-
der referred to the negro Conlcy, whose
career since the Frank trial has been
cne of continual crime, and he Is now
under n 2O:year sentence for q mid
night burglary. 1t was stated by the
police that Conley was the head Of an
organized gang of burglars planned the
robberes, sold the loot and divided
the proceeds.
It is known that Mr.. Alexander made
n thorough study of all the evidence
in the Leo Frank case and he was
strongly of the opinion that he was in
noccnt. The case, it will be recalled,
attracted national attention and for
some time afterward was an icsue In
local, country and state politics.
The fact that Mr.. Alexander ts
lawyer of prominence and is the pro-
scouting attorney for the government
gives unusual weight to any statement
he may make and rcvives a subject
which was at one time discussed from
one end of the country to the other.
