Our Aircraft Needs.

THE BOMBING operations off the East coast
conclusively proved that all war ships, great
and small, can be sunk by bombs dropped from
the air The size OF the bomb required is measured
by the size and protective OF the ship. II
also proved that direct hit is not necessary,
the explosion close to the vessel rips open its
side seams.
AS matter of fact, what really seems to have
been demonstrated is the size Of the explosive
necessary destroy the different types of ships,
that vessels be located and attacked far out at
sea, and that with but meager experience,
airplanes have fair better degree of ac-
curacy from height of I,aoo to 1000 feet. This,
and would make air warfare against naves a
is to increase accuracy from a much greater alti-
tude or distance.
That this will come is certain. That it will come
within the lifetime of the present navies and the
ships building, is hardly probable. 1t is a
problem of science and mechanism as we'll, or
more than, experience. Trials will undoubtedly
continue with obsolete ships marks, a part
of annual naval and with stationary
targets and moving dummy targets. To find the
feet will be the first problem to perfect.
The rest is just what has been worked out and
accomplished in naval warfare, where distance of
range and accuracy have increased with size of
guns and protective armor. When it is considered
how long it has taken to develop range finders,
sighting appliances and other devices, and to bring
the accuracy of fire of modern naval attack be-
tween moving and maneuvering vessels, it can
be fairly estimated what is still ahead in perfect
ing attack from the air.

Parallel and Competing.

lk TO MAN is impartial where his interests
~ are concerned" We thank Mr. Harvey,
our correspondent, who used the John
sonian quotation in his defense of New York as
to Its opposition to the improvement of the ST
lawrence waterway. 1t expresses exactly what is
the matter with New York as it sits on its Erie
Canal manger. Mr. Harvey, able lawyer that he
IS makes the best possible argument for the State
and its CANAL but it fails to reach
&fhe man who owns toll ferry naturally OBJ
jects. he says, to the building of county bridge
to take away his traffic. Quite so; but the bridge
is built and no justihes that sort of human
nature which would obstruct economical WAYS of
traffic for an objector's own personal benefit His
selhshness is not allowed to prevent the public
good.
This example which he gives, is a sufficient
justification for "the alliance between those Mddle)
States and Canada to parallel and divert travel
from our domestic waterway" If the ST. Law
renee route is not better, cheaper, faster and in
every way much superior route, it cannot divert
this traffic. The largest barge the East has un-
dertaken to build for the canal traffic is Goo to
700 stons, available only for canal navigation. The
West has sent through of nearly three times
this tonnage with the same draught and capable of
navigating the Lakes. This is the difference.
These large barges have gross tonnage of
100 70 100 tons The 81. Lawrence waterway
tons, depending upon whether the finally adopted
channels are twenty-five or thirty-foot draueht
The-best the Erie Canal provides is ten feet and
that lis. uncertain Moreover present experience
has Proved that the navigation of the canal takes
much donger than will the St. Lawrence route
and the transportation costs are and win be yerv
much more, being estimated from three to four
times ss great
But in one thing Mr.. Harvey is absolutely
right and after all is said this is the most essen
tial fact. The Erie Canal can be and will be
Incorporated in the general scheme and made a
feeder and an alternate route" The Herald has
good reason to believe that the completion of the
greater waterway will increase the canals use and
enhance its value. The new barges will have to
breSk cargo at Buffalo and take through what re-
mzhider they can They will take back what they
can setsat New York, or route, picking up full
load again at Buffalo other lake ports They

jcet and with entire confidence in the canals future

Game of Chess.

T looks very much as If Lloyd George and
BRAND have been, and playing a game of
political chess, with full, mutual understand
ing between them to what each ones next move
would or will be- The game of each is to help
keep the other in power and Lloyd George has
especial cause to wish to keep the moderate BRAND
in control, the alternative is the much more
aggressive, militant Poincare.
Z A real break of the British-French entente
would be ruin to both, as to all Europe So when
It becomes necessary for BRAND to move a major
p'eee--to satisfy the French chauvinists, George
promptly moves into position to play smash with
this French game. He tells the French what BRAND
dare not say. He moves to gain what BRAND, is
probably quite willing to concede, but dare not,
wltfout the usual byplay of dangerously strained
relations, threatening complete rupture" which
makes the French people stop, look and listen
I. The latest play of this sort is another toward
the Silesian king-row. France has persistently
postponed the boundary settlement. One excuse
after the other is offered 1t develops that further
delay is exceedingly dangerous. How can France
yield? BRAND studies the chess board, winks at
Lloyd George and makes his move for more troops
IN Silesia- Great Britain refuses to send any and
also to yield that France should send them across
German territory, Germany having refused safe pas
sage.
The result is checkmate and BRAND is in
position to yield as to the meeting of the Supreme
Council to fix the boundary and France will send
her reinforcing division into Silesa where they will
be very useful while the British haven't division
nor half division they could send 1t is a pretty
game to watch 1t has been played with wonderful
political skill, and the end is not yet, though each
play brings IT nearer with the entente growing more
cordial in spite of the frequent spasms
.- In the first days of August the council will
meet and there will probably be more words, more
moves, more wrist slapping but settlement will be
reached. This will not be the best nor the wisest
but only time can smooth out the rough edges
The immediate essential is to get Silesia off the
boards Every politician is an opportunist; only
statesmen look beyond next month, and frequently
tune is the best and surest producer of statesman

Peace to Its Ashes.

II is useless to try to revive the dead and the
i plan to put supercharge the users oi
electricity to enable the w. R. and E. to increase
its revenues, is dead. Why not increase the gas
rate and the telephone rate and give that surplus
to this street railway? The mere fact that the
street railway company owns the electric service
but not the gas telephone, in way changes
the equities the justice nor the honesty of the prop
osition.
If the various organizations whose joint COM
mittee passed this final obituary resolution over
the corpse of this proposed scheme to make 45 ooo
of electricity pay unearned rate, in order
to fatten the revenues of street railway, would
but submit this resolution to secret referendu N
of their MEMBERS they might be enlightened if not
surprised We suspect the committee knows quite
we'll that majority of their organization MEM
any such jugglery.
hearse There too many large users of cleo
tricity to make the revival of the corpse possible
When they negatived the proposition, the lid of
the casket was finally closed. 1t meant appeal
the courts, if attempted and the would not
permit that sort of financing. Moreover, the tss-
timony of the larger users, showed that it would
be unwise for the w. R. and E. itself to attempt
it. Private electric services increasing ard
any supercharge would but add to them reducing
revenues. Anyway, the public knows, the
District Commissioners know, the District Cong
sona Committee know, and deal that simply is
not square and honest cannot be put across. The

tions. They have the prouder privilege of voting,

well be that countries like Poland and Turkey have
no adequate means of stopping their people and the
people themselves do not know.
But most of the foreign governments are well
equipped in agencies to restrict those leaving their
shores for America to within the number who will
be admitted here. None of the steamship COM
panes that transport these people are excusable If
they bring surplus above the laws limits. 1t is
their business to know and they should be compelled
to-pay passage both ways for all they bring in
excess
But this government is not blameless and will
not be until it has agencies at all European ports
from which these would-be immigrants sail, to
check and also, select Such bill has been intro
duced by Representative Johnson. 1t should and it
is believed, will pass This will avoid rule of first
come first served The best and most desirable Of
those who offer can be chosen.
This selection, too should be made before any
applicant has been led to pay, to prepare to pay
his passageway. 1t is pitiable read of those who
have sold their all; torn up by the roots, their an
chorages in their homelands, only to be turned
back at these longed-for shores as of the surplus
under the present law, or as undesirable from any
cause They should be stopped the other side
and the best aid agencies for stopping it, is to
forbid steamship lines soliciting immigrants.
The Johnson bill should not supercede the pres
ent temporary restrictive law, which should be made
permanent. But it should provide for this laws
administration in foreign countries. The expense
would not be much than the proper admins
tration of the law this side, which would become
but a checking corrective system There is
strong objection to this country being again
made open to all who will, OF the ht both
physically and mentally. There is such thing as

Favors Nature Study.
the Editor. The Washington Herald

To the Editor, The washington herse:
Within comparatively recent
time the study of nature, as a part
of tire curriculum of our pubic
schools, has taken wonderful
hold upon the minds Of teachers
parents and children throughout
the country, and the advantages OF
studies are more or less appointed
and favorably regarded by the In
telligent classes of all communities.
They were generally introduced into
the schools of England many years
ago, and the movement supported
by the convincing arguments in
their favor by many teachers in
that country. including Mr.. Hux-
ley, who published a number OF es-
says in favor of their adoption by
the school boards. The beneficial
effects upon the cultured classes
in Great Britain and the refining
influence due to the introduction
of these elementary biological
studies into their schools have
since become very evident and in
more ways than one. Boys and
girls of the classes referred to
take a pride in being able to
describe and name many Of the
wild flowers of their country as
we'll as the British fish, reptiles.
birds and mammals. Here, it is the
exception to meet with a child in
its teens able to do this. while, as
a rule, they are crassly ignorant of
all such matters.
This is a question that has deeply
interested the writer for over half
a century and during all that time
his work in such fields has prac-
tically been continuous and increas-
ing. 1t was not until during the
past year however that he was
brought in immediate contact with
every phase that the subject pre-
sented, due to giving talks to the
children on nature in several of
the larger public schools of the
city: meeting many OF the teachers; I;
ana, finally. being appointed in
structor to the nature study de-
partment of the summer course of
the George Washington University.
Now 1t Is not the object of the
present letter TO point out what
nature study consists in as a study
for the various grades and classes
in our public schools, for the reason
that the writer has before him, at
this time, the preparation and pub
location of an article covering every
phase of the subject, and that one
included. Upon the other hand. II
hould prove TO be of q distinct ad-
vantage to bring before the COM
munity In general, and parents,
teachers and children in particular,

Tc the Editor. The washington Herald:
Thanks for your fsre-reduction
campaign. Once more the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
is trying to squeeze out of q reduc-
tion in fare. How long must we, the
patrons Of this company. have to put
up with this anyway? 1t is about
time for a showdown, and II this
matter is put off once more. We. the
users of the w. r. & E. will have
TO take drastic action. We have no
objection to paying the stockholders
of said company reasonable profit,
but we do most strenuously object
to holding the bag any longer for
them to use all of our extra coppers.
We have lots of uses for said cop
pers. For instance. the kiddies
night have an ice cream soda once
a month or a car ride to Glen Echo,
were il not for the fact that the fare
is SO high that We cannot well at
ford to ride very often unless we
absolutely have to. Furthermore.
unless the W. r. & f. Co. comes
across half way. there will be q lot
of its patrons who live within walk
ing distance who viii start to walk
There are a lot of us who could
walk IL necessary, and we will GER
tainly start to do so pretty soon,
then where will the w. r. & E. Co.
get off Another raise in fare. l
guess, Fine. Well, / guess We can
continue to walk, as lots of us
walked farther than we do now dur
ing the last so-called strike" on
the above-named company. What's
the matter up on the Hill? Must the
common" people shoulder all of this
burden? Some of us are waking up.
and every one knows when the
American public really wakes. then
something is due to happen. There
are a few of US working in the Dis
trict Of Columbia who have a vote
in the States, and unless some relief
is granted us, we will sure use our
ballots before long in a manner that

COAL CLEANING PROCESS

A process for cleaning coal that

ties Of low-grsde Goals and mate

mines has been the subject of lsbor-
story studies OF the U. S. Bureau
Of Mtnes, the results of which can
now be announced
The method, known as the Trent
process, consists Of agitSting to-
gether powdered coal, water and oil.
This produces q partly desshed plas
tic fuel, called an smslgam. The
oil picks out and Joins with the
coal particles and excludes the
water and ash that remains sus-
pended In the water. Then the
smalgam OF oil and coal can be
freed from mechanically held water
