British Nominee to B the Associated Press LONDON. October 1.—Lord Carson (former Sir Edward Carson, the Cnionist leader in Ulster) will be the British government's nominee as i representative on the Ulster boundary commission, says the Daily Express. The newspaper adds that the appoint- ment of Lord Carson will be calcu- ed to give Ulster the greatest pos- gible confidence in the commission's decision. The government bill providing for the Irish boundary commission passed its second reading in the House of Commons last night. Previously an Ulsterite motion for rejection of the bill was defeated, 291 to 124. Continuation of the debate yester- | day brought out only one interesting | point—a statement from former Pre- { mier Lloyd George that there w s no record in the cabinet minutes that any pledge such as suggested by count Long had been given, and that he himself was unable to recall any such pledge as that the six counties should always belong to Ulster and that there should be no interference with the boundaries beyond slight readjustments.

Some declared they had stood in line in front of their booth for hours, and upon reaching the window after such a pa- tient vigil had been informed there were no tickets there corresponding to the card that had been maifed to them. Others were disappointed because their seats were not the best in the grounds, and the remainder were on hand to beg on bended knees for seats “at any price.” To all of the latter there was but one response—"“Take your chance in getting the uncalled for tickets tomorrow.” The disap- pointed ones were told they had been allotted their seats in the order their requests had been received. They would have found quick purchasers at a profit, though, had they been in- clined to sell.

The spectator gets a Eraphic picture of what airplanes and radio, combined with high explos and gas, might be like in battle the outward show of Ame: aviation prowess is a mere sample of what this country has in store should another war come to be fought out in the clouds. Acrial weapons of the United States already built or designed would make a sky battle a spectacular affair. Fighting pursuit planes, with a speed of 170 miles an hour—faster than those of any other country—already have been built. By means of a re- ntly developed supercharger, which pumps air into the carburetor. t ntain this speed at 30,000 fe ltitude, despite the rarefied air, while pilots supplied with oxygen apparatus can fly at 40,000 feet, far out of range of anti-aircraft guns. Concen- Great Bombers Ready. America now has bombers capable of carrying six 100-pound bombs, four 300-pounde; two 6§00-pounders, with sighting apparatus recently de- veloped far more accurate than that of any foreign power. This mean deadly use of explosives and gas while the bombins planes are pro- tected by high altitude But the greatest destroyers are de- signed as night bombers. They are even bigger than the Braling bomber here that astounds spectators. This superdreadnaught of heavier-than-air boats, with a wing spread of feet weighing 21 tons when loaded, speeds through the air at 96 miles per hour carrying two and one-half tons of bombs, a commanding officer, two pilots, two engineers, three gunners, a radio operator and a fuel pumper. The plane can stay in the air 9 hours and 18 minutes. But now the Army lets it be known there is being developed a larger ma chine capable of flving longer d stances, powered by a centralized plant of four liberty engines driving one propeller. These new machines, carrying at least three tons of bombs are counted on to put the finishing touches to land fighting. or Steering by Radio. The Army also has already develop- ed radio steered aerial torpedoes of | great effectiveness, as well as radio | controlled airplanes, directed either | from the ground or from another | plane Another air accomplishment an- nounced as of great importance is | the development of an earth indicator | compass which, when supplemented | | by a flight indicator and draft meter, | makes possible aerial navigation without regard to land marks. The | world flyers tested this out and| found it successful. There also have | been perfected vertical scale instru- ments so that planes can fly in fog or | in dark with precision—a finding of great importance in bombing and | aerial photography. Aerial photography has been devel- | oped to perfection. With the new in- | struments a photographer already has photographed 2,200 miles of ter- | ritory in an hour and 15 minutes, | taking three or four pictures at a| time.

Accomplishments since the war have been so great as almost com- pletely to revolutionize aerial war. The point has been reached where, with new explosives and gases, air- planes could almost annihilate ground forces and probably make navies ineffective.
