German Comment, The German press continues to discuss the fate of the Zeppelin sheds at Friedrichshafen. The Germania declares that they should not constitute an object of compensation to the Allies.

Italian Comment, The National Fascist Party has published a manifesto in the Popolo d'Italia in which it says that the unfortunate incidents which marred the Victory celebration were deliberately provoked by the members of the Socialist organization “Free Italy”: The aim of these free Italians, the manifesto goes on to say, is always: “Italy without the King.” By their acts of violence, the Fascists, says the

it is rumored that a Hamburg shipping company has been founded in this connection, with a capital of 450,000 gold marks. Herr Flettner has also announced that the principle for obtaining power will be applied to automobiles, aeroplanes and to the production of electrical energy. The invention is based on the Magnus principle, known for some time in physics, which is that a cylinder rotating in a current of air exercises a pressure at right angles to the direction of the current. After numerous experiments in secret at the Aerodynamic Institute of the University of Göttingen, the idea of propelling
Institute of the University of Göttingen, the idea of propelling ships by this method was perfected, Trials were held and the invention was made public. How It Is Done. The Flettner rotor towers are strongly-built masts without either stays or sails, around which large cylinders of thin sheets of metal are so hung that they can be set swiftly rotating by means of electric power, only a very small amount of power being necessary. For the propulsion of the ship these rotating cylinders become effective only when the rotors are impinged upon laterally by the wind. Dislocations of the wind
impinged upon laterally by the wind. Dislocations of the wind pressure take place through the rotation, and the ship is driven forward as when under ordinary sail. The pressure which the wind exerts upon the ship in the direction of her course is, strange to say, extraordinarily larger than in the case of a corresponding spread of sail. In favorable circumstances, as, for instance, when the speed of the rotating cylinders is from three to four times that of the wind, the effect of the wind is about ten times as great as in the case of a sail surface
as great as in the case of a sail surface of similar spread. One man is sufficient to look after the rotor towers, thus rendering the crew of the ordinary sailing ship superfluous. By regulating the revolving speed of the towers the amount of propulsive force utilized can be altered at will and very quickly. Additional Power. So far as is known, it is not intended to use the new system of propulsion for a return to the sailing ship pure and simple, but it is intended to equip ships with propellers and with motors of moderate horsepower, auxiliary, and
with propellers and with motors of moderate horsepower, auxiliary, and then to use the wind as an additional propulsive power. If the weather be fair the auxiliary motors can be entirely dispensed with. The advocates of the new system promise a reduction in running costs amounting to from 50 to 80 per cent., and they think that it is destined to play an important part, especially in the development of freight shipping.

PARIS TIMES” LETTER BOX Taking Much for Granted, To the Editor of The Paris Times; — I was amazed to read in the morning press that the six teams which Compose the Paris Baseball League, of which I am President, were enrolled as members of the Fédération Française de Baseball, which is an organisation of which I have never heard.

I have never heard. I am certain that neither Mr. Chas. Hicks, our Vice-President; Mr. Thorp, our financial adviser, or Mr. Hoffman, our Treasurer, had ever been at the meeting at which we are supposed to have given our approval to the new organisation. We, as the baseball pioneers, at least of recent historical times, are proud of our position as the boosters of the American national game abroad, and if any new arrangement to further the sport is to be launched, we feel that the Paris Baseball League should at least be consulted. It is highly probable that no

It is highly probable that no 10 percent of the gentlemen who are named at the executive committee of the “Fédération” have ever seen a baseball game, but if they are really desirous of boosting the game in France and care to get in touch with our organisation at 73 Rue Denfert Rochereau, they will find us agreeable to any forward-looking move, albeit adverse to having our teams named as members of a league of which they have never heard.

Because November 9, on which date he takes office, falls upon a Sunday—tomorrow—Sir Alfred Bower was “admitted” this afternoon at the Guildhall. The picturesque ceremonies customary on Lord Mayor’s Day will be held on Monday.

There is something appropriate in the fact that Sir Alfred is a distinguished Liveryman of the Vintners’ Company. For wine has been his principal business for many years, although his interests in the welfare of the City are as varied as they are keen. Who, of Fleet Street, has not sat among the casks in El Vino and in the temperate glow of comforting beverage, discussed the world’s affairs? Of course there are other hospitable wine cellars in the City associated with the enterprise of the New Lord Mayor, but El Vino is a sanctuary. In his young days, Sir
El Vino is a sanctuary. In his young days, Sir Alfred was a well-known cyclist and he remains an ardent pedestrian despite his sixty-four years. His home is at Chislehurst and there is little he loves better than to take long walks over the Downs which extend from this delightful part of Kent. On Monday he will be driven to the Law Courts in the famous ornamental coach with traditional pomp and circumstance, and it will not be until he has made there his statutory declaration of office that he will leave for the Mansion House as Lord Mayor of

The Book of the Day WOMAN ALL SUFFICIENT Phantasy and an unleashed imagination are vitally necessary in the writing of such a book as Gerhardt Hauptmann’s latest.

The Island of Women. “Die Insel der Grossen Mutter,” (The Island of the Great Mother), or as the subtitle explains, “The Miracle of the Isle of Women,” has proved something of a disappointment because of its strangeness and unconvincing quality. A group of one hundred women arrives on an island from a shipwreck. The women are of different ages and nationalities. The only male among them
of different ages and nationalities. The only male among them is Phaon, the twelve-year-old son of a German woman who died soon after landing. Need of organization and some form of government is felt by all; one of the oldest women, a German painter, is elected president. Order and system are introduced under her rule and every resource of the favored tropical isle is made to yield its utmost. Three years after the landing, one of the women, Babette Lindemann, of a visionary and hysterical nature and imbued with the concepts of Hindu philosophy, makes the startling claim that she
concepts of Hindu philosophy, makes the startling claim that she is about to become a mother. Skepticism is evinced by the colony, but a few months later her prediction is proved true. Babette declares the birth to be miraculous and the fulfillment of a vision she had as a child in India, when it was foretold that she would one day be the mother of a god. Her visionary ideas spread to the other women, all of whom, with the exception of six, give birth to sons and daughters. A negress among them becomes the mother of a white child.
negress among them becomes the mother of a white child. The Outcome. The result of this is the dethronement of man and the belief in the mission of woman to redeem and populate the world without man’s aid. Phaon, now a youth of sixteen, sinks into disfavor and contempt and is relegated to a secluded part of the island. As the children grow up, the girls are separated from the boys, the latter being permitted to live in order to perform all manual labor. A revolt against this subjugation follows and the boys charge down on the women's quarters, where
and the boys charge down on the women's quarters, where they are received with a frenzy of joy by the girls and all the children indulge in a dance orgy before their protesting mothers.

Matignon (118 R. du Faubourg St.-Honoré) PARIS The hue and cry has been raised — Where are the old-fashioned mothers? While the returns from the recent election in America do not disclose the election of many women to office outside of, shall I say, a Governess in Texas, one in Wyoming, and a Congresswoman in New Jersey, and quite a feat, by the way; still, from all accounts the feminine electoral list was of such length as to give due consideration to the entrance of women in
to give due consideration to the entrance of women in the political arena, and this brings us to the pointed question as to whether woman is neglecting her home duties in an effort to obtain a hand in government, either municipal, State or national. The real home-body women who look back to the time when their mothers devoted themselves entirely to the duties of the household, and when the sacred and sweet lullaby hour arrived rocked them to sleep to the tune of some old, familiar melody; this class is fearing that the modern mother is losing sight of these
fearing that the modern mother is losing sight of these old-time customs and is gradually but assuredly drifting away from her home moorings, and in addition to the vast amount of time and labor which must be devoted to politics by those who would be politically active, and, in consequence, ambitious for office — and this applies to both men and women — the calls on the woman’s time outside her home are many, such as the theater, the card game, and other social obligations; and the thought arises that the mother is apt to be persuaded not only to
the mother is apt to be persuaded not only to neglect her domestic affairs, but to leave the children and these duties in the hands of the servants. While it is admitted that, in most instances, the physical care of the child may, with perfect safety, be left to the faithful servant, there is still a grave doubt if anything can repay the child, or the mother for losing those precious bedtime moments, and who can look back on the days of the old-fashioned mother can well appreciate this. Albeit, the question is a moot one. There are those who,
the question is a moot one. There are those who, while they express some reason for fear in this respect, nevertheless feel that the danger point has been passed, and that mothers will eventually settle down to their home ties in the manner practiced by their mothers and grandmothers. Mother Nature is, in the final analysis, the supreme dictator, and it is quite difficult to deprive her of her rights. While the pendulum has of late been swinging almost beyond the limit, it will swing back and regulate affairs to normalcy. It is a perfectly natural desire of the modern
normalcy. It is a perfectly natural desire of the modern and normal woman to seek pleasure and recreation away from the humdrum of household cares, but, all said and done, there is nothing so natural, nothing which makes such a strong appeal to woman as the nurture and care of her children, and will eventually be proved, if it be true that she is straining at the home ties, that she will not deny the children their nightly lullaby for the sweet privilege of motherhood for other things which are but momentary and, in the end, afford no lasting satisfaction.
