religious differences among ball play

That's the worst nonsense in the

"visit and Search" in the Air.

One of the provisions of the regula-
tons which the international jurists
have drawn up allows the men on one
airplane to visit and search another
airplane. This is like allowing the
crew of one vessel at sea to board and
search another vessel, but there is a
vast difference. A ship at sea is fairly
stable, while an airplane is a pretty
difficult thing to board. The provision
reads like this:
.Private aircraft are liable to visit
and search and TO capture by belliger-
ent military aircraft"
As this reads it would appear that
