London, November Reciprocal News Service.) )-Aerial navigation in the near future Win be as far ahead of the pres ent practice as the steamship is ahead Of the sailing vessel The new airplanes will be driven by steam turbines. and Instead of all the manual labor being left to the pilot, he will simply telegraph his orders to the engine room, and the crew will carry out his commands, leaving him free to use his brain, instead of his hands and lessening the physical fatigue which has so frequently been the cause of calamity Travel in the air will be more luxurious, speedy and safe.
 According to Sir E. L. Ellington, the British vice air marshal the program of the air ministry is proceeding along revolutionary lines, and promises con- siderable change in airplane and airship construction. The hurried experiments carried out in the late war were not made on a strictly scientific basis, but followed the usual trial and error system of emergency operations, so that while certain results were obtained they were not obtained in the most satisfactory or economical manner.
 Sir E. L. Ellington says that the air ministry Is now concerned with the de- yelopment of the following qualities in aircraft: Reliability, ease of control, landing and taking off in the most re- stricted places, performance, i. e., speed, climbing, etc., and cheapness.
 He corrects a popular opinion that re- liability depends principally the en- zine, pointing out that modern engines are far more developed and reliable than the planes which carry them, and will stand up under almost any trial that is put upon them, provided that they are well-overhauled prior to the flight. Most failures are due to conditions outside the engine itself, such as petrol supply, fabrication, water systems, ignition etc, and with the improvement of these con

CHOLERA IS ADDING l . ID CH|NA'S SD|STRESS.
Trip Through Famine Sections Shows People in Desperate
 Situation
By Associated Press

Peking, October 15.-Cholera is add ing to the general distress in the famine stricken district where from 25, GOO 900 to 3O,o0O, ,0O0 people are fac ing death by starvation.
 The Associated Press correspondent, who recently travelled through the heart of the territory most seriously denuded of food found conditions even more desperate than had been indicated by information previously received here.
 In the town of Hawaiian where thero were 100 families. 30 persons had died of cholera, and similar reports are com mon from various other districts.
 The picture presented to the eye of the correspondent was a dismal one The soil barren as in mid winter, prices soaring, migration of those having more money or enterprise, the people living on diet of weeds, chaff, thistles and leaves; children, especially little girls offered for sale at the average price of the small Chinese mule cholera from underfeeding, suicides of individuals in extreme despair, old women and children gleaning patches of weeds, men with no work to do and clusters of refugees living in the shel- ter of temples in market towns.

 When the frost will have killed the unconsamed leaves and weeds there will be literally nothing to eat for at least half the population. One out of 10 has already migrated without money and without destination. In the worst spots half the people are already sub sisting on the proceeds of the sale of furniture and clothing, which means that those temporarily escaping starva-

TAKES BRITISH TRADE
Electrical Business Going to America
 and Sweden-Plants Close Down

London, Noyern Der l0.-( Reciprocal News Service.)-At meeting of one of the subsidiary eompanies of probably the greatest industrial concern in Great Britain, it has just been reported that practically all of the export business ii, electrical equipment has been captured by America and Sweden. The Swedish products are believed to be German.
 The head of the large concern de clared that British electrical goods were no longer selling in China, that market having definitely gone to America be- cause of lower prices and immediate de- livery. Even in India British firms could no. compete. the illustration being given of recent Indian government invita- tion for tenders of bids for an electrica | power house. The British bid was 4s GOO pounds sterling, the American $, ,000 the Swedish 2s.0o0. The British bid was fig ured very low and not penny could be cut off,
 It was said that neither Americans nor Swedes are cutting each others throats." Both were making money on their bids. The British electrical goods plants were working on part time. Some are to be closed in the near future.
 The British capitalist planes 1t all on labor The British machinist is now getting about one pound sterling week less than the British miner and railway worker. He is demanding the pound in crease through the formidable Amal- gamated Society of Engineers (machin- ists are called engineers in Great Brit ain)- The head of the large firm de- clared that shilling a week advance would mean a one per cent increase in the cost of production, therefore a one per cent increase in prices. Since they were unable to compete on present wages it was useless to consider the new wage demand Factories would be fclosed until conditions warranted their resump- ffarz
