Col. lleghes and his aevompanying steff of militia officers intended to make a study of the use of eeroplenee itt Unitary tactics when they left for England last month. The phe- unleei .effectiee work of t$1,treese,o:yeilicolif 4 , in the Britioa manoeit :wording to eable deepa,tehes, rendered practieally abortive the attempted stmt. egy of tbe opposing Generals and brought the manimuvres to a sudden close, will, doubtless have the effect of convineing the Colonel and ma,kina al- most irre$istible the demand for the es- tablishment of an airship corps in ,con- nection with Canada's military defence. Last year the eueetion Was Under eon - sideration by the Militia Council, and it is understood that in the annual esti- mates submitted to the Cabinet Council there was a tentative sum set down for the purpose of two army aeroplanes. This estimate was, however, cut out on th,e ground that the nee of airships in werfam was still only in the experimen. tel stage, and Canada could afferd to wait a little loner and let other come tries do the experimenting. The effee-; tiveuess of the aeroplane corps as dem- onstrated lately in England, France and itinaolity must shortly- compel the Min - Militia to follow the example of all other countries, unless the depart- ment is to be hopelmsly behind. the times and practically ineffective under modern eonditions of -warfare. BA.TTLF, IN AIR FIRST. General 'Mackenzie, chief of the Cana - diem General Staff, commenting to -day 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 new and quiek source of information will be cut off from his opponent, while renuntewi inindge. clthohaitthe ca inseilfd) nadian army or- ganization was following with keen in- I. terest all that pertained. to the use of aeroplanes in war, and a monthly bul- letin was received on this subject, and 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- papers protest against the speech, of 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." 4+4 MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY.

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."
