as, field, last Tuesday as it was re-
turning from Ross field, California, to
Langley field, Va, having stopped at
San Antonio by the way. Preparations
were being made for a flight for the
benefit of four newspaper men and
eight army officers. AS the big gas
beg was being taken out of its hangar,
it was struck by a gust of wind that
crumpled it badly and made the situa-
ton look so serious that it was DEEM
ed advisable to. put it back. During
the attempt to do this the envelope
was torn, and escaping gas caught fire.
The destruction was almost instanta-
neous. All of the people around were
singed, but none of them dangerously.
The ship originally cost the govern
ment. s270ooo. and at the time of its
destruction was valued at about S7O,-
900. This is the fourth big airship
that tthe government has lost within
the past two years.

In a copyrighted cablegram to the
New York Times, according to the Au-
gustas chronicle, the claim is made by
DIR. Cfuehet, of Bordeaux, that he has
succeeded in transfusing the blood of
animals to human beings. Patients, he
declares, realize such remarkable eff
fects from animal blood that they in
yariably ask to have the operation re-
peated. We are further informed by
the cablegram that the result claimed
by Dr., Cruchet r. has, been considered
impossible by physicians. There is
supposed to be an irreconcilable diff
ference in the structure Of the blood
of animals and of man. The serum of
animal blood in all experiments has
destroyed the corpuscles of human
blood. DIR. Cruchet started expert
ments by transfusing the blood Of cows
and sheep to dogs. The TRANSMISSION
blood contained 10 per cent Of citrate
of soda to prevent coagulation and ac-
cording to the statements Of the doc
tor the TRANSMISSION succeeded in thir-
teen iouB Of sixteen cases. Inspired by
this success he next transfused a
sleeps blood to human patients. The
operation was followed by chills and
slight temperature, both of which
quickly disappeared. The patients
showed rapid Improvement with the
return Of appetite and color. DR.. Cru
chet states that he used sleeps blood
only because it was convenient, and
that the blood of horse or other ami
NAL would have done as well.

pose to build on an entirely new foun-
dation all conventions relating to our
contracts with the western world. We
have no objection to President Will
sons fourteen points, the modern prin-
ciples of nationalities, or other large
ideas which have been proclaimed in
the past few years as part of the new
gospel of international law, but on the
other hand we shall demand extension
to Turkey of all the elementary rights
Of sovereign people, the same as are
founded by other nations" Hamid
Bey said the Kemalists regarded the
holding of a peace conference at Smyr-
ma as "one of the highest Importance"
For the purpose of the peace confer

the national assembly to Smyrna.
Thus we shall concentrate in the pres
