Editor The Star.
In your paper recently you printed
one OF the most logical and scholarly
letters that had ever appeared In
your correspondence columns.
This letter was signed by william
wykes. who states plainly he Was
born British subject, has been
citizen Of the United States for more
than rs years. and served two years
In the late war.

position taken by the French towards

splendid argument with broad and
unsupported comparisons between the
depredations Of the Germans In the
late war and the damage done in
Ireland by British militarism during
the last 500 years" and with that
done by the French army IN Europe

accused man was tried, found guilty OF
burning coal, condemned and promptly
executed.
The invisible, gaseous products Of
the combustion of coal were early pro-

when ladies Of rank, their faces made

The nature of the smoke and odor
from burning coal remained a mystery
until after the middle of the Seven

obtained was known as "oil Of coal"

PLANE STEERED BY RADIO
Fifty Miles During Experiment
in France.

A number of experiments have been
made with radio-controlled vessels and
airplanes, but one of the most success
full trials was that recently held in
France, when a plane was driven 800
miles and steered the entire trip by
radio. The indications were received
on an apparatus called the radio
%goniometer, which showed the air
planes position with relation to the
wireless station. This device enabled
the pilot to make the journey with an
error Of only 2 per cent in direction
on the outward flight and with entire
accuracy on the return.
One advantage of the apparatus, If
practicable, SAYS the Los Angeles
