This doesn't mean that a new gas has got to be & covered for hellum s aiready known hus beon used With success, dut it would mean that more attention weuld have to be given to the production of this gas which under prasent conditions s much more expensive than hydrogen. What can be expected !f an airship Gependimg upon hydrogen as s lifting &8s !s endangered by fire could have no better {llstration than that furnished by the Roms disaster. Experts declare that It the Roma had been filled with beltun Instead of hydrogen the ot life would in all probability have besn s song is what was predicted and what {seem to bs directed toward putting new ! &wept through the great gasbag becauss of the highly inflammable hy- drogen gas. Thus it would appear that if experi- mentations are going to be continued with dirigfbles that adequate production of hellum must be provided for if the degres of safety which it would assure 1s going to be furnished, and ragl.r less of the hazards that are known to exist in connection with aeronautics it is to be expected that safety will not be en- tirely overlooked. Every indication points to the fact that hellum production rests entirely with the govérnment. If it will stand the expense it will be produced and yet the production of it is likely to depend upon what deeision Is reached in regard to the future of rigld or semi rigld di- rigibles. We' haven't disposed of all our big airships as yet and for the proper protection of them as well as the flves of those who must operate them the re- cent disaster lays emphasis upon th need of the safety gas. HAND IN HAND ONCE MORE. Not so long ago there was a confer- ence between the premiers of France and Great Britaln that resulted In an understanding regarding the calling of an economic conference concerning Eu- rope. It was following that decision that Premier Briand tired of the attl- tude that was taken concerning his pol- fcles and the erfticlsms that were aimed at his motives and suddenly resigned. That upset the situation a bit and be- cause thers was uncertainty regarding the position of France there was a de- sire for the postponement of the Genoa meeting. This made necessary & meet- ing of premiers again and with Poincare representing France that has taken place and understandings and agree- ments have been reached which do not differ much from those that were the outcome of the meeting some Weeks ago. It iz agreed that there should be such a conference as planned at Genoa. that France and Great Britala should stand and work together, that there should be a restriction of the purpose of the conference and that Germany and Russia shall be admitted when re- quirements have been complied with. Thus everything seems to he harmoni- ous again between the cross-channel countries. In other words though there h been a change In the head of the French cabinet there doesn’t appear to de much difference between the Poin- care and the Briand views. When they get down and lock the situation square- ly in the face they see the same facis and they understand that the moves need to be made to meet them Thus when Poincare reaches an agree- ment with Lloyd George he much opposed to the Brland policies as was indicated by his previous state- ments, With the virtual endorsement of the Briand arrangement there are reasons to feel that a period of misunderstani- ing has beén bridged and that hencé- forth France and Great Britain will work hand {n hamd as had been pre ously intended and as conditions re quire. The delay n the date of thel Genoa conference !s only a matter of a month but that time can be put to good use in preparation, sama fsn't %0 RIDDANCE. The to the effect that of the wooden vessels which were con- structed on the Pacific coast for war service have been sold by the emergen- cy fleet corporation fer about $1500 aplece doesn't mean that they are act- ually being glven away but nearly so. Yet it Is no more than was expected and 00D renort a group possibly the amount received is m: than was really expected by the gov ernment agent. The vessels are with- out ‘engines and equipment and it seems probable that they will be altered into barges, which would confirm the oplr fon =0 often expressed that they were not fit fo rthe service for which they were built and intended Even though the sum to be recetved will be with but & mere plitance compared what they cost it is well that thev| are to be put to some use.

"Tilson today talked at some length with your correspondent regard- ing his recent visit to Panama and con- ditions as he found them, especially re- lating to American shipping interests and ‘fortifications of the Canal Zone. The Colonel experienced an excapeion- ally rough passage. both to amd from Panama and in answer to the question Have you recovered your land legs vet, remarked “Yes, but in my opinion the only man who ever exhibited any sign of brain power and went to sea, Wam Noah. He had some excuse, for he had no other place to go.* Colonel Tilson then related some of the incidents that most impressed him regarding the needs of the Panama Canal Zone, from commercial and military standpoints. It was not Col. Tilson’ first visit there, for he went down be- fore during the early days of canal con- struction. As ordance expert on the military affairs committee of the house Mr. Tilson had been especlally interesi- ed in the defemces of the zone; as a mebrer of the ways and mean committee he is especially interested with ship- ping and commerclal conditions there, and it was for the purpose of studying them and incidentally the question of free tolls, that he made the recent trip. “We must protect our coastwise ship- ping,” said he “and by coastwise I mean Atlantic and Pacific and those passing through the camal. In fact I believe we should protect all our ship- ping that goes on under the American flag. 1 see no reason why we should not protect them by a subsidy If inter national objection Is made to the toll plan. American shipping is now at a great disadvantage owing to the severe restrie- tlon under the LaFollette act and the subsidies paid by other countries. The number of ships flying the American flag in the canal zone was exceedingly small as compared to ships fiving the British and Japanese flags, and those of other countries having large commercial interests. I found that the W. R. Grace Company of New York, which has just Acquired ome of the big mew ships is sending it out under the Panamanian flag, although Panama has no merchant marins of its own. I was informed that the W. R. Grace Co.. which controls the Pacific Mail Line sends out from Van- couver under the British flag. This avoicance of he use of the American flag is said 3 be based on the heavy restrictions of the LaFollette seaman's act and the prohibition amendment and othar restrictive methods which must be adopted to carry ont American laws whioh ships sailing under foreign flags wed not adopt. That flag of the Panama republic on an American ship was very noticeable as the merchant marine of Panama con-- sists of about 30 small boats—just little filshing cloops—that come into the har- bor at Vanama each turn of the tide, which has a rise of 12 feet at that point. When the tide goes out, the little boats are keeled over on one side high and dry, and from them their catch bs land- od and sold as it would be in a regular market place. When the tide comes in the market place is covered 12 feet of watér, and the little boats put out again and day aftér day this is re: peated. And that's all there is to the Panama merchant marine. whose flag the great shiping comnany of Gmce flies, bacause American laws prohidit meth- ods that permit successful competition. But 1t was the island of Haltl that “fered §re myst remanzhie harber scene. We saw there something like 200 vers little hoats sounding into harbor, like a mosauito fleet, but equipped with all sorts of material for salls. There were old bags. old flour sacks, or any- thing that ceuld cateh the wind, many so full of big holes that it was a mys- tery how wind enough could be ‘caught” to move them along. It was one degree worse than the Panama fleet Commenting on the military situation at the camal zone Col. Tilson said that in his opinion these were the most urg- ent needs: Bullding A'hajuila dam and <0 ensuring sufficient water power and electric power the zone: commu- nication across the canal elther by tun- nel or a bridge; fortification of To- bage island. for Even If the treaties of the ence cpted Col. Tilson those improvements are a necessity. Re- garding the building of the Alhajuela dam Col. Tilson sald the water would be utilizea in two ways and womid be a refutation that “thé mill cam never grind again with watge that is pass- ed” By building the dam and mak- ing a reserve water supply in Charges river the same water would be used for supplying the locks and for electric pjower. “In other words” sald he “vou can have vour puddinz and eat It, too.” The colonel went into detail as to the need of an emergency water supply for the canal in case of unexpected trouble, tefanically the circum: stances which might arise to make such a supoly necessary without delay. Col. Tilson referred to the courtesy extend. ed him in making the inspection, and to the great improvements in roary stnce hig’ previous visit. He went out to the jungles beyoni the government reser- vation and made as thorough a personal Inspection of canal conditions as was possible in the short time be remeined confer- are ac believes in Panama. The political hattle of 1922 15 mow well under way and no matter what Qebate s starte in congress, it becomes political and sectional before it is end- ed. The demovrats say thé “Harding Hontymoon year” is now over and the second year of the admintstration wil not run as smoothly as the first.

The republicans hava found thelr tremen- dous majority top-heavy and urwieldy. Many men are utterly lacking in team work or Inallnation to fal! in 1ne with rect 1zed leaders. And the republicans would rather looss soms districts than have that element to conntand with in thelr own party. They ars wiling to 1nse certain districts, but are determined mot to lst too many alip through thelr fingers, and it will be one of the sharp- est campaigns in yeara sccording to the present outlosk. = Judge Balley, of the Distriet of Co- lumbla court has fust rulec that f a wife leaves her lome without & just vause she is mot entitied to support by her fipsband.

The Seminoles in Florida were of a very hostile dispo- sition to the Americans. Determining to crush them once and for all. Jack- son set out with 3000 white tfoops and 2000 Indian allies. It was not the for-: eign agents who had long been prac- tising their intrigues and villainies in this country. Among the men of this class was ‘Woodbine, Arbuthnot and an officer named Robert C. Ambrister, Woodbine was able (luckily) to escape before the arrival of Jackson. Arbuthnot trusted to the sanctity of the Spanish neutral- ity with fatal results, and Ambrister was found at Suwanee. These adven- representative of opposite characteris- tics, but here is a case in which they are. In a previous article it was shown that the person who makes his( or her) | capital letters of undue size and makes them rather fancy is pretty sure to be egotistical and self-satisfied in some one particular thing, if not in all things. The small capital letter. plainly made, indicates the reverse. It is one of those unconsclous eviderices which are the result of the person's funda- mental character working out. Such capitals. you will find, nearly always indicate a large degree of in- | nate refinement, modesty and simplic- ity, and while they should by no means {be considered a mark of ge; t it {is true that many men of genius do write this way. It is simply because the iman who is really big is usually above petty vanities. By plain capitals we mean princi- {pally those capital letters which are ;made just alike, or almost like the small letters, differing from the prin- cipally in size, or those which are sim- ple imitations of printed letters.

As evidence against the older pris- oner, Arbuthnot, a letter was produc- ed, signeq by 12 chiefs, purporting that Arbuthnot was to represent them In any business whatever and could write letters for them. To the second charge a letter was produded written by the prisoner to his son at Suwanes warning him of the coming of Jackson and directing him to remove all his property to a place of safety, and also to tell the Indian chief, Bowlegs, that it was use- less to oppose the Amiericans. This Information, it is belived, was the causc of Jackson's dissppointment In his de~ ire of vengeance, as it allowed the In- dians to escape into the woods. It was then shown by the prosecution that Arbuthnot had in his possession 10 kegs of powder. Although offered the services of a counsel the prisoner spoke in his own defense. He said that the letter to his son was only to enable him to save his submit to the Americans; and as to the powder, he sald, It was no more than a new supply that was needed Indians. The court then ruled that whatever the purport of the writer when send- ing the letter, whether for innocent purposes or mot, it, nevertheless had enabled the Indians to escape annihi- lation. Also that if he solq the 10 kegs of powder to the Indians at this time it would make a great difference in the attitude of the hisfllities. The court courtmartial then sen- tenced the prisoner to death by hang- ing. Although his fate was undeserved it would not have overtaken a man of prudence. The same court conssting of Brevet Maj. Gen. Gaines. six officers of the militia and six officers of the regular army, then tried Ambrister. He plead- ed not gullty and showed that in his defense, his escapades were not for the purpose of wrongdoing. but more for the love of adventurs. He was the nephew of the governor of New Provi- dence, and was about to return to Kng- land where he expected to be married, but love of adventite had led him to the India trouble in Florida. He was first sentenced to be shot. but the court seeing that he had had no sin- ister designs refuted this sentence to one of “50 lashes on the bare back and atraid to eat for fear I'd make a scene Give me a hamburger, and a jar of dirty water.

At every point | the British government has based its| policy upon the trustworthiness of the | Irish representatives, and their power and will to deliver tae goods. If thelr Yower should prove less than thefr will a new and very serious situation will have arisen. The Genmoa Conteremce—Mr. Harding and Mr. Hughes may be relied on to do the best they can to cooperate in Mr. Lloyd George's plan in the Interests of their own country, but that this best will go beyond the moral influence that the presence of qualified sympathetic “observers” can Impart does not seem likély at this time. The chances that they may be able to do more would be vastly improved, in the opinion of per- sons in close touch with cabinet elr- cles, if the conference Were postponed and preliminary decislons reached be- tween London and Paris in line with the formulated conditions of participation by M. Poincare. British Trade—So far as the exports of British goods and commodities are concerned, thg board of trade returns for January show an improvement on the figures for the previous month, and the total Is the best since March last.
