The controversy is the outgrowth

down a. party of their followers.
The Chancellor hardly had opena
his mouth before the familiar ery of

and being trodden on. One Suffragette

that the following paargraph has just
appeared in one of the fashionable pa-

Last year the eueetion Was Under eon -

BA.TTLF, IN AIR FIRST.
General 'Mackenzie, chief of the Cana -

on the cable news from Cambridge, said:
"It would appear as though in future
warfare the contest would have &et to
be fought out in the air between the
airships and aeroplanes of the opposing
forces. The army conamender whose air
forces eouquer the other air forces will
have a tremendous advantage, as the

its information was filed away. How-
ever, as to the acttutl purchase of aero-
plane?, 'thee, was a question for the. fu-
ture. The :lana.elian army needed many
things, and there was a question as to
just esolien aeroplanes would become
necessary. The_ same problem was also
submitted to Brig, -Gen. Leseard,
General of the Canadian forces, and he
agreed with General Mackenzie that the
use of aeroplanes R3o assisted the work
of the manoeuvring armies that a deem
time was gained.
Gen. Lessard concluded by saying that
the Turko-Italian war showed the im-
portance and value of 'the aeroplane in
war. In future battles all armies would
have to have a force of airships and.
aeroplanee. These would likely meet
first, and the meeting of them would be
a rether terrible affair.

POPE AN ASSASSIN
Italian Deputy Uses Harsh
Words Against Pontiff.
Rome, Sept. 22. -The Vatican news-

Deputy Podreca yesterday during the
celebrations of the fortieth annivers-
ary of the occupation of Rome, when
he declareti that the Pope was an
assassin, as "In his name Catholic
Spain assassinated Prof. Ferrer, the
martyr."
The Pope does not seem to be
worrying over the abuse. Yesterday,
referring to the speech, he remark-
ed to a friend, "Well, they have call-
ed me many names before, but this
is the first time they thought of call-
ing me an assassin. As a, matter of
fact, I did everything that was pos-
sible to save Ferre, but failed. At
any rate 1 am an assassin in good
company, as Podreca. also called Pius
II., Pius IV. and Pius IX. assassins,
so 1 must not complain."

TWO SAFE SHIPS
The White Star Line's New
Boats Will be Secure.
New York, ,Sept. 23.- offielal an-
ouneement hqs just been made that ia
the new Atlantic 'leer building at Bel'
fast. by Harland & Wolff, Limited, fon
(he White Star Line, the name of one of
the most successful -vesselsin the his-
tory of the company is to be revived.
The name "BRITAN,:NtIC" is well ehosen,
because the White • Star Line eteamer
originally botring the name enjoyed a
long and succesNiul career, and is re-
membered with pleaeure by hundreds of
thousands whom she bore safely across
the great sea.
lin general features the new "BRIT-
ANNIC" will be similar to the "OLYM-
PIC" but she will be of somewhat larg-
er tonnage. There will also be vartorre
improvements introduced into the new
eeseel. fu two important reopects both
ressels are to bear evidence of the re.
cent change in expert and .publie opinion
as regards protection against collision,
both by the introduction of a complete
inner skin above the 104 line through-
out the most vulnerable parta of the
vessels, and also by the inereased height
and number of the watertight bonehead*
so as to render both ships as nearly un-
sinkable as possible -in fact making
them practically safe against all, con-
ceivable contingencies.
Hitherto it was considered sufficient
if it vessel could float with any two
compartments piereed; but the "OLYM-
PIC" and "rixtrrAN-yrc,,, besides hav-
ing this extrtt protection against ser-
ious damage, will be able to float with
any SIX compartments flooded; and
with thee special provisions it is not
considered within the possibility of
chanee that so many compartments
could be in this condition, Nevertheless
even in the unlikely event of such hap-
pening, -the vessels would still float.
The "OLYMPIC" will be sent to Bel-
fast this winter for the neceesary al-
terations, which will bring her in all re-
spects up to. the high standard which has
been daelded upon for the "BRITAN-
NW." 'Lite latter vessel is now in the
