New Rulers Plan To Surpass All
Predecessors In Influence Over
Newspapers
Associated Press

ZURICH, April 25-According to
reports reaching here from Berlin,
the rulers of new Germany have re-
solved to surpass all the efforts of
their predecessors in the exercise of
official influence over the press.
immediately opposite TIE German
Foreign Office stands one of the
palaces of the Royal House of Prus-
sia, which of late years has been oc-
cupied by Prince Frederick Leopold,
a cousin of the former Emperor This
palace is to become the headquarters
of the new press bureau which the
government will create soon. 1t will
be more than mere government de-
partment, for it also will contain a
club for journalists.
One part OF the palatial building, a
Berlin dispatch says, will be devoted
to the offices of officials whose work
will be that of inspiring the press,
and the remainder will be transform
ed into luxurious clubrooms.
There will be library, writing
room, reading-rooms, smoking rooms,
billard-rooms, restaurant, an Amer
lean Elr, lounge rooms and a gym
nasium. with telegraph office con-
viently attached.
Eve-y conceivable device, it is stat
ed, will be employed to capture and
retain the sympathies of newspaper
men.

RIGID ALRSHIPS
FOR LONG TRIPS
Increase Size OF Planes Is AccOmpa-
ined By Greater Relative
Efficiency
Associated Press

LONDON, April 25-British ex-
perts, seeking to forecast the future
potentialities of aircraft, seem to
agree that it is to the airship of rigid
construction, not to the airplane, that
commercial usefulness.
The limitations of airplanes design
ed on present principles are defin-
itely known. Technically, it is an ac-
cepted fact that an alrplane cannot be
produced which is capable of trans
porting a commercially adequate load
for longer nonstop flight than 1000
miles. For practical purposes 500 to
800 miles are regarded as the work
abe limits.
But the prospects OF air-hips are
much less easy to diagnose. 1t is
recognized that rigid aiTsi1irs can fly
ior distances of 1850 miles carrying
commercial load of approximately
fifteen tons and that they are en-
abled to undertake long flights now
believed to be impossible of attain
ment by airplanes.
Every increase in the size of air
ships is accompanied by greater rela-
tive efficiency, but the medium-sized
airships have greater advantages, it
is said, than is generally supposed.
For example, the North Sea class
of 500 horsepower is capable of
transporting a load cf more than
three tons, whereas the four-engined
giant airplane Of 1000 horsepower is
able to lift less than four tons and
burns twice as much gasoline.

PARIS, April 25-By no one will
the departure of the American sol
diers from Paris be more keenly felt
than by the humble "megottiers''-
the pickers-up Of cigar stubs and ci
garette ends. TIL; has been a gold

quante who is the recognized bo:j
of the tt ade and enplo.-s some thirt..'

went on. "People are beginning to sit
outside the cafes again, and my men
pick up all the fag ends on the side
walk. Another squad cleans up the
music hall lounges early in the morn
ing. People smoke more than ever" "
Out in the Latin quarter, Papa
Cinquante has a drying and sorting
shed where the cigar stubs are cut up
and made into pipe mixture, and the
csrarette ends are sifted and turned
into new smokes. He pays from IS
cents to $1.25 pound for the raw
material, according to quality" he

Hun Pleasure Seekers
Help Pay Wars Cost

BERLIN, April 25-German pleas
ure seekers viii be called upon to pay
a considerable part Of the cost of the
war through special amusement tax
which will form an important part of
the governments new financial policy.
The tax will apply to admissions to
theatres, concerts, the moviesl and
dances. Starting at ten per cent on
the cheaper tickets it rises to thirty
per cent on the price Of better seats.
The passion for amusement afte-
long years of war is so great that the
tax is not expected to discourage as-
tendance at theatres.
Gambling is in great favor in Ger
many just now, and the playing card
tax which in ordinary times would be
considered prohibitive is expected to
have practically no effect on sales OF
cards.

People Will Call Him
Back AS They Did
John M. Stone.
is THE FAVORITE
IN THIS SECTION
Regarded Everywhere
AS "The Man of
The Hour"

1t must be obvious to everybody
now that Hon. A. H. Longino will be
the next Governor of Mississippi. His
entry into the race, at the urgent scli-
citation of his fellow -Mississippians,
has been acclaimed, it seems, in every
nook and corner of most counties in
the state. He is regarded "ve1~where,
according to press and , as a
nOn-factIonal, non-section. - didate
as the man OF the hour-and the
people seem determined to "call him
back to the executive chair as they
did John M. Stone, another time tried
and fire tested patriot; to put him
back in the Million Dollar Capitol
which was built under his admins
tration without bonds, graft or scan
dal.
The Hazlehurst Courier says "to
the good news that the Raymond
Gazette brings that Longino is
sweeping Kinds County from center
to circumference we can add that we
believe in the counties of Copiah,
Simpson, Lawrence, Lincoln, Pike.
Walthall and Claiborne, the only sec
tions with which we are familiar
Longino will get more votes than the
other three candidates combined"
Slmllar news comes from every
where. Here in Leflore county, where
Longino and his estimable wife once
resided, to count Long no supporters
would be Ike taking the census. Re-
port comes from every polling pre-
clnct in Leflore county, and the sa.
is true here at Greenwood, that cas-
lily seventyiive per cent of the quail
lfied electors are enthusiastic for
Longino. Nor does the Longino sup
port stop at the Leflore county line
Gratifying reports come from Holmes,
Sunflower, Washington, Sharkey, Is
saquena, Humphreys, Carroll, Talla-
hatchie, Grenada, Yazoo and other
counties in this part of the State.
AS the Carthageian pointed out
some time ago, "the people are all
powerful and nothing can withstand
their wishes when they make up their
minds they want to do thing" The
sentiment for Longino seems to have
crystalized as solidly as the sentiment
was in 1875, when the white people
rose as one man and said they were
tired of the conditions of affairs then
existing, and put the state back into
competent hands.
The canvass that Longino is making
is as clean as his own stainless life,
and it is being highly commended By
5 the Christian manhood and woman
hood of Mississippi.
