AVIATION IIM FRANCE.
French eminence in aviation,

In llic endeavor In lie supreme
no expense lias be.»n spared; red
(ape lias been summarily nil; and
adaptation of Ibe new human
power |o military as well as In
commercial and sporting ends has
enli. led the enthusiastic support
of 'citizens because appealing to
the traditions of martial valor.
That the new mode of locomotion
test* virtues always conspicuous
in warriors and that aviators can
lie heroes, has been fully shown;
and the fact accounts for the na
tional enthusiasm.
Such being the French record
as to the science and art of aer
ial locomotion it ia quite proper
that legal questions arising from
the new discovery and the new
culnm, should be first tested in
Franco. Upon some of the inter
national legal aspects of use of
flying craft jurists look action as
soon as it was evident that vie
llpgue conference pledges were
ratified making illegal hurling of
projectiles from balloons in lime
'of war; and the principle in equ
ally binding upon other,* forms of
aerial craft.
Already a privately callcd in
ternational judicial congress on
aviation, meeting in Paris, has set
forth a tentative code governing
use of aircraft, which it hopes
later will be made tho basis of
international governmental ac
tion. However, there are legal
aspects of the problem which are
both local and universal, involv
ing the right of owners of land
to control the same for purposes
lof landing or flight of I lie flying
|machines, and the measure of
[control over use of the air above
jJand. which it*- terrestrial own
• er can enforce. It is these sim-I
I pier and more common place of
jlhe matter that are now likely to
be. passed upon by the French
•.courts.
