War and Literature.
It Is customary to associate war with
the development of intellect. But as
respects the Inspiration of the Napo
leonic wars, they were preceded as
well as followed by a burst of French
literary activity. What were the spe
cial war influences that affect Shakes
peare? If the theory Is sound the pres
ent greatest of all wars should prepare
us for super-Shakespeares and super
Darwlns. But In fact the lifetime of
most men of genius Is long enough to
comprehend at least one great war.
And making allowances for the briefer
span of a Keats or Shelley, is It not
logical to conclude that the relation of
genius to war Is less one of cause than
of coincidence?—^Vew^York World.

ESTABLISHED 1897
Among the 500 retirid naval officers
recalled to active service because of
the war Is Rear Admiral Charles J.
Badger, who retired August 28, 1915,
at the age of sixty-two years. A native
of Maryland, he graduated from the
naval academy In 1873. In 1884 he
directed the Greely relief expedition.
At one time he was at the head of the
Annapolis academy, and there earned
the sobriquet of "Square Deal" Badger.
TYPE OF AIRPLANE NEEDED
British Expert Points Out Serious De
fect In Those Which Are In
Use at Present.
The most unpleasant situation In
which an airman can find himself Is to
be at a considerable height and the
view In all directions cut off by clouds.
There Is no fixed point visible, and he
can only tell If he Is flying straight by
his compass and air speed. If the wind
be "bumpy" the compass card begins
to move and only the most delicate of
steering will get It back to a steady
position.
Capt. B. C. Hucks of the British roy
al flying corps says he has found It al
most Impossible to get the compass
steady In a clond. The airplane has al
ready begun to turn and the pilot Is
almost certain to over correct. Then
the nose drops and the speed goes
up. The pilot cannot tell whether the
machine Is taking a nose-dive, Is spir
alling downwards or merely gliding a
bit too rapidly.
If a stable machine be let alone un
der these circumstances it will right
Itself eventually and glide normally.
But few pilots have nerve enough to
let It alone and they are liable to try
to pull out too suddenly, which means
dlaasater.
Captain Hucks told the Aeronautical
society in London that a machine
which will show a constant vertical or
horizontal line and be independent of
centrifugal force, was badly needed.
