those laws and been convicted. He
has been sentenced to year of i'm
prisonment under those laws, and
Thursday he should go to Jail. But
will he?
In the opinion OF Mr.. HowAr and
his friends the issue OF jurisdiction
is very far from being settled. Mr..
HowAT's cause has been taken up
by the Kansas Federation of Labor.
WILLIAM HOWE, the secretary Of the
federation, has given formal notice
of the fact, and he adds:
From the day ALEXANDER HowAr
goes to Jail. September s, until the
day he is released not a ton OF coal
will be dug by union miners in Dis
trict No. H."
And there you are. The issue is
changed in name only. Instead of
being the question whether the gov
ernment of Kansas is government
by the people or q government by Mr..
HowAT it becomes the question
whether or not that government is a
government by strike precipitated
in Mr.. HowAT's behalf-merely a diff
ferent way Of saying the same thing.
The population Of Kansas is 1852
257. OF these people about 10000
represent organized labor. The re-
naming 1,75S,657 are merely folks
And 1t is this negligible 94.5 per cent.
of the population which is venturing
to align itself in opposition to the
5.5 per cent. arrayed behind the
Howat battle flags. That is, some
Of the 5.5 per cent. are supporting
HowAT. The fact is that no in
considerable numbers Of organized
labor men are not opposed to the in
dustrial court law. Many have
brought cases under it and have ap-
proved its decisions.
But Mr.. HowAT is against 1t and
Mr.. HOWE Is against it. and Mr.. HOWE
inferentialiy aflrms that some Of the
several hundred miners in District
No. IA are against it.. So that is the
lineup.

He scoops hole out OF the hard
ground three to four inches deep by
three inches wide. A foot or so away
from this he scoops another hole. and
he then bores a small channel under
ground from one to the other. There
is thus free air passage connecting
the two little excavations.
He places some dried dagsa leaves
in the first hole, lights them and covers
them over with moist clay. He pierces
this clay with sharpened piece of
wood to allow draught to go
through.
Into the other hole he inserts q small
hollow reed--this Is the pipe stem

MOUNT VERNON SHRINE
OF FRIENDS OF FRANCE
Messages From Notables Ac-
company Hughes's Speech.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Thc dual
anniversary OF the birth of Lafayette
and the first Battle of the Marne was
celebrated with impressive ceremonies
to-day at the tomb OF Washington.
President Harding sent a message
which was read by member Of the
National Lafayctte-Marne Day Com
mittee. IL was identical with that read
at the Lafayette-Marne ceremonies in
New York city. Messages from Presi-
dent Millerand Premier BRAND and
Ambassador Jusserand were read stimuli
taneously here and at the New YORK
celebration.
Secretary Hughes. one Of the
speakers, said:
II deem II most fitting that there
should be associated with this celebra-
tion the observance of the anniversary
of tho first Battle of the Marne. for
through that battle. turning seemingly
irretrievable retreat into a magnificent
victory, the preservation OF those great
principles Of, human liberty and right
which Lafayette cherished was ulti-
stately assured.
ut is further gratifying that In this
the friendship and good will
which we entertain for France will bc
emphasized Tho re-
iations between the two countries arc
built on a solid foundation OF service
and Of mutual helpfulness in the cause
OF free institutions"
Marshal Foch sent this message:
"On this day when you celebrate tho
double anniversary so dear to all friends
OF liberty. and a reminder OF the
mighty bonds which will ever unite our
two countries--of the birthday OF Lafay-
ette and of the Battle of the Marne--
/ wish to convey to YOU the renewed
expression Of my faithful and strongly

Messages From President Harding and President Mil

President Harding and President MIL
lerand OF France joined In the celebra-
tion yesterday of the anniversaries OF
the battle OF the Marne and the birthday
of Cen. Lafayette by sending messages
Of greeting and remembrance to the
committee In charge Of the ceremonies
These were held at the statue OF La
fayette at the south side of Union
Square, facing a bronze figure of Wash
ington.
For those invited to speak and to
hear the speeches q stand had been
erected near the figure Of Lafayette
Before the friends OF France took their
seats they hung wreaths OF flowers on
the pedestal OF the Lafayette statue and
draped the base with the Stars and
Stripes and the Tricolor.
More than q thousand men and
women, many of whom were crossing
the square on their way from work,
paused to listen to the tributes paid TO
the Frenchman who supported the cause
of American Independence century
and half ago, and to those other brave
soldiers who helped push back the Ger
mans from the gate OF the capital of
Lafayettes own country.
Harding Tribute to Lafayette.
Charles A. Downer. representing the
committee on arrangements, read Presi-
dent Harding's message. which said In
part:
Il trust may be permitted to record
in writing a slight acknowledgment of
my recognition Of our Indebtedness to
Gen. Lafayette. With no sordid mo-
tivcs, but infiamed with ardent SYM
pathy and passionate desire to help
them. he espoused the cause of the
struggling colonies and hastened to
their support. He sought no selfish end
and asked no pay. but found his reward
il the thanks Of Congress and the un-
dying affection OF generations of Ameri-
cans, whose gratitude has been and al

propriate occasions

Lessons of the ZR-2.
That Type Of Craft Called Obsolete
and Impractical


| To THE New YonK HERALD: Now
| that the giant airship ZR-2 has met
with the usual fate that Is In store
for all air craft Of her design and con-
struction, let us hope that the Govern
ment will at last profit from this dis
aster by discontinuing to spend. or
rather to waste. further money and
precious lives In constructing and ex-
perimenting with this obsolete and per-
fectly impractical type of airship. Any
type of airship that cannot be used with
safety In ordinary winds OF forty to
fifty miles an hour velocity must be
OF the year we are subject to winds Of
this velocity.
It is just as impossible to navigate
successfully or safely a ship without
keel as to attempt to navigate an
airship without backbone. 1t simply
can never be done. as you are going
directly contrary to the laws Of natural
forces.
All our present troubles In expert
menting with lighter than air air craft
are due to the fact that our designers,
engineers and constructors have. like
sheep, been following along the lines
of foreign inventors and constructors.
AS consequence they have as yet not
developed any new or original ideas OF
their own. II construction along these
old and proven impractical lines Is not
discontinued we never will get any,
where or produce a safe, sane and prac-
tical airship.
The principles involved in the con-
struction Of the present type of airship
are fundamentally wrong. and they must
be discarded before any further head
way can possibly be made in the aero
nautical field as far as the lighter than
air vessels are concerned.
The big ZR-2 airship was doomed
TO destruction before her keel was even
laid. Her principles of construction
were absolutely wrong from beginning
to end. No alrship anywhere near her
dimensions constructed along her lines
can possibly avoid developing hump
which In every case will inevitably lead
to ''buckling."
When the ZR-2 was noticed to de-
velop this hump" she should have
Immediately been scrapped as being
both useless and impractical, even for
only reasons OF safety to her crew alone,
especially when inflated with such a
highly dangerous gas as hydrogen. Had
helium gas been used for buoyancy the
loss OF life would possibly have been
nil.
Investigation into the causes leading
up to this most depiorable accid ent to
the ZR-2 will no doubt disclose the fact
that "buckling' was the direct cause
OF the catastrophe. AS result OF this
'buckling'' the hydrogen gas chambers
located at the section OF the ship where
the initial break occurred were un-
doubtedly ruptured. and when this large
volume OF highly explosive gas en-
veloped the ship 1t most probably came
In contact with one OF the minute sparks
emanating from the commutator OF one
OF the electric motors. thus causing the
first and most terrific explosion, and
this In consequence causing a secondary
explosion Of the petrol tanks.
