Tokio, September 1S.-The Pan- Pacific Association of Japan has been formed to work in harmony with the Fan-Pacific Union, the aims of which were given at a recent luncheon here attended by visiting American con- gressmen to be the bringing of the nations of the Pacific into closer re- lationship in order that they might work together for the advancement of all.

 highest lifting power of any com
 mericaI gas. natural manufac-
 tured, in the United States. In
 other words, an SOOOO-foot balloon
 inflated with sIOss gas will travel
 farther and carry at least n quar-
 ter of n ton more than the same
 sized balloon inflated at any other
 gas plant in the country.
 And then the fortunate circum- stance that adjoining the Sloss -Shef- field plaIx, where this gas is made in almost unlimited quantities, there is a big balloon field equipped with a spur track and free from high tension wires and every other obstacle dreaded by aeronauts. It is said that Birmingham Is one of the two places in the world where coal. iron ore and flux-the clements that enter into the manufac- ture of iron--are found in such close juxtaposton, within almost a stones s throw of each other. Isn't it singular. then, that in this new industry of equipping the huge leviathans of the air, Birmingham should again show up with a similar grouping of the needed elements-a suitable balloon field ad : joining plant that manufactures in sufficient quantity the best commer- cial gas for lighter than-ai machines that is found in the western hemi sphere?
 MIGHTY FLEET
 And when on next Saturday after noon-for the race will not start in the morning as so many had figured upon-the mighty fleet of a dozen or more superdreadnaughts take the air above Birmingham there will ensue one of the most keenly- contested aeronautical events witnessed since the famous Paris to Moscow race of d decade ago. On Saturday next d new air line will be inaugurated, for among the group of world renowned flyers that met for their first informal ses- sion at the Tutwiler yesterday after noon, it was confidently predicted that at least one of the dozen entrants would make the through trip "Bir- mingham to Labrador"

In France, during the July labor

J. revolution if possible and, failing In
that, to cripple France indastfIaly
so as to allow Germany to get the

The question in many minds is:

close examinations would be made
by the immigration authorities at

A large majority of the aliens or

day announced. The large number
