AEROPLANES LEADING
So far, the meager news from the
Fnuico-Germaa frontier indi
cates that the aeroplane is more
efficient than the dirigible in the
severe test of war. Whether or
not the story told of Rolaud
Garros,'the famous French aviator,
is true it is manifestly quite possi
ble and It points the way to very
material victories for "flying ma
chines over big balloons.
It is said that *Garroe deliber
ately drove his swift aeroplane
against the huge bulk of a Ger
man military dirigible, knowing,
as he "must, that ho would dig with
the crew of the airship. Both
crilft plunged to the earth. There
were no survivors.
'It is clearly possible for aviators
who are willing to die for their
country to trade oue man in this
vav for a dozen or more of <ho
enemy. It would not be difficult
tor a hero with a martyr's spirit
to oarrv the crew of a big airship
to Certain death. The aeroplane
is much the swifter. It can clira'o
above the dirigible and keep out
of" range or missiles from the
balloon. Such sacrifice of one
life for several, one small nnd
relatively cheap aircraft for a
vastly Sigjrer and more costly bal
loon requiring m*ch longer to
build, will probably be thrilling
incidents of the great war now in
progress. Many an aviator may
bo willing to rush to sure death
for the sake of costing the enemy
much greater losses than his coun
try must suffer in his heroic fate.
America is also tke land of the
free and the home of the safe.
And business was dull in Eu
rope before anyone began to shoot
ui> what there was of it
The statistics us might now tell
us how many general wars it
takes to waste as much money as
one congress.
'Correspondent Boalt may still
possess a certain journalistic use
fulness as a sea serpeut editor, for
instance.
I'ncle Joe Cannon's decision to
run for congress is no compliment
to the sort of poker they play in
Danville, III
Some unkind folks say the rea
son there's uo peace-at-anv-price
feeling in Europe is that Secretary
Bryaji has it all.
No doubt Colonel Roosevelt
would greatly prefer the privilege
of being heard at any time to
mere "leave to print."
How. long is it since Europe
was' deriding Mexico as a laud
of ignprant barbarians who knew
nothing better than war'.'
Presently it will be seen
whether it is as safe for a man to
kill an orator in Paris as it is for
a woman to shoot an editor.
A motor truck driver who ran
over an aged wonv.u and killod
her has been arrested i'or not hav
ing a license. License to kill?
Very likely the suffragists who
are giving away their old jewelry
to be melted up in aid of tlio
cause would prefer new, anyhow.
Patriots who go home to figh
might go just as numerously au.l
somewhat more gracefully without
the offer of pardon for old offenses.
If thet war lasts until nest yea
it ought to be easy to persuade
Americans that California's expo
ilion is better for close-range
study thau Euope's battlefields.
That Paris jury really should
hav9 said whether the open season
for editors also applies to any
other man a woman may happen to
dislike.
Those Australasians lost n'i>
time in turning tho German lieJ
teuaut who aspired to internation
al tennis honors down at Pitts
burg, loose for army duty at home.
Tho militants who have- pro
claimed a truce in Groat Britain
may bo moved by pity for man in
the hour when, all the world see*
what a mess he can make of run«
uing great nations.
It is imaginable that a good
many Americans who have been
more or less denationalized by
much foreign travel are not so
sure of European superiority as
they were a week ago.
WANT TO PRY LID
OFF BAKIIAIIY COAST
Sau Tranclsco, Aug. 12—Frantit
efforts are being made here today
to pry the lid off the Burbary coast
for 1915. Keepers of the coast re
sorts of all sorts don't care a cent
—not now, at any rate—how tight
the lid is screwed ou after the fair
is over, but they do so want to
get the benefit of that exposition.
-Most coasters had looked forward
to such a rush of business whila
the big show was in progress that
they could retire on competencies as
soon as the gates closed. And
then all at once, so suddenly that
.it first they hardly realized what
happeued to them, down slamme.l
the lid.
It was a step taken not exactly
in the iuterest of good morals,
though it pleased the reformers.
The police commission issued its
orders at the behest of business
men, who said the coast would keep
mere visitors away from the fair
than it would attract. Tho coast
ers—aud some of the business men
agree with them—argue the con
trary.
