MILITARY experts throughout the world have learned many lessons from the Balkan war, and Just now these lessons re being put up to the various govern ments in serious forms. Instead of abolishing war forever, the awful hor rors of death and tho disaster to In dustry and commerce which the war Inflicted bid fair to lend greater terror to future conflicts. Probably tho foremost lesson glean ed and taken up in practical fashion is the exnmplo of military effectiveness In the use of the aeroplane. I.ittlo Bul garia, with her nine or ten ulr craft, V ,. Photo by Amorlcan PreBs Association. DUUMHIAN AVIATOR IN FLKII1T. proved conclusively that future wars will lie largely dependent upon cllklent aeroplanes and aviators. The adoption of the planes for mili tary and naval purposes has already received n great Impetus In tho policy of tho foremost nations. Hnglnnd and the United States have been urged recently by leading aero nautical experts to appropriate mil lions for the establishment of adequate war fleets for tho air. A bill was sub mitted to the New York legislature re rently urging tho establishment of an aviation con in the national guard of that state. Also, tho federal govern ment is being asked to spend at least 110,000,000 on equipment for military air operations. Tho policy behind the step projected In New York state Is that of having nut only that common weallh, but later tho rest, take up the aero mllltnry question, Instead of leav ing the matter to the federal govern ment. It is generally admitted that the Individual states could not put the aviation corps on a par Willi the regu lar military service, but It Is believed that with widespread activity over the country this end could be gained in time. Using the lesson of the Balkan war, Alfred V. I.nwson of New York has sounded a poslllvo cry of alarm for the United Stales with referenco to the country's aeronautical deficiency. Mr. Law son wrote an open letter to con gress, copies of which were sent to each member of the scnatu and hoirso, expressing the warning. Mr. I.nwson Is publisher of Aircraft and ono of the foremost authorities on aeronautics In the country. Ho declares that America stands In danger of easy Invasion by another country by means of air fleets. Ho urges the need of great fleets of planes to meet this danger. The I'nlleil Slides stands thirteenth among the nations of tho earth In tho advance of aerial military strength. Utile Belgium anil Greece, Bulgaria and Spain stand ahead of this country as regards expenditures on aerial equip mi nt. It Is argued that one of the more strongly equipped mil lulls could send a fleet of warships bearing air craft to our coast and throw the fleets of planes over the country to drop bombs and devastation upon the land without a degree of risk. The aero planes could make repeated attacks from aloft, return to (he, ships each lime for reloading and keep up the performance Indefinitely, while this country would be powerless to strike back.

Tho details are requirements rather than specifications, because nothing is said in them about the typo of aeroplane, and performance Is tho only essential insisted on, Tho requirements are the most severe that have ever been de manded by the government not quite so severe in some respects as thoso of European powers, but enough so to make them Impossible of fulfillment by any machines now In the service. Tho most spectacular requirement from the viewpoint of the public Is that they shall carry armor. This, however, Is a very thin plate of chrome steel and is merely an Inci dental protection to tho aviator and engine In case n stray small arm mis sile should find tho machine, ft con tingency that tho olllccrs regard as re mote, but possible. One of the most exacting require ments from the manufacturers' stand point Is the wide range of speed de manded. Tho machine must have a minimum speed of not more than thirty-eight miles nn hour nnd a maximum of at least fifty-five miles. It shall be able to climb 2,000 feet In ten min utes and to make a flguro 8 In a rec tangle COO by 250 yards without losing more than 100 feet In altitude. The machine mnnt bo fitted with a self starter, so- that a single nvlntor can mnke a flight without assistance. This Is In case a scout Is forced to land out of range of assistance and needs to get his machine Into tho air again by himself. The weight requirement has not been changed, except that more Instruments arc demanded, nnd these shall be con sidered a part of the machine Itself and shall not flguro In the useful load to be carried. It 1h demanded that the machine, shall be fitted with a trachoinetcr, com pass, an aneroid barometer, barograph, map holder, pad and pencil holder, clock nnd nn angle of Incidence Indica tor. Tho Instruments shall all be of the make and typo approved by the army. Besides these, there must bo n wireless outfit, with the sending key In easy reach of both the pilot nnd the observer. Clnude Orahume-Whlto, tho well known English flying man and manu facturer of aeroplanes, has written a long article which Is published In sev eral London and provincial papers, In which ho declares that the British gov eminent must siend at least $.",000,0011 this year If It wishes to keep pace with Frnuco and .Germany. The money, he Photo by American Presi Association. IIUIAIAHMN AVIAMll AT UAI'IIINR. says, Is not only needed for air cr.ifl Itself, but for the training of pilots, observers and mechanics. Mr. (irnlinmo White says: "The grant of fl.lXHMKH), which I have suggested uhnvc as being essential for flying, would be quite Inadequate If our gov ernment could be Induced to go whole hearledly Into fills all Important mailer of lighter than air flying craft.

HOLMAN BEATS CALLIOPE llarton, of Coos, However, Is 'ot So Jiolsy Colonel Hush's War ltccord. Seaker McArthur Is working like a Trojan these days In trying to keep the houso up to high tension in per forming business. Tho speaker's Job Is no sinecure. Members are restless and nervous, and prone to wander away from their desks, visit and lob by with each other, visit with friends out In the lobby or go over to tho sen ate to seo how their bills are faring there. By) Iron-handed methods only Is McArthur able to keep a continuous quorum at work. For the last two days, at times, he has had to have the Bergwmtat-arnis bring In truant members. Then he would order the doors locked nnd command the door keepers to permit no member to leave the senate chamber without permis sion. It Is amusing to hear grown up men, like children In school, rlso and ask McArthur'a permission to leave tho chamber for a moment or two. McArthur, by the way, has been working Buch Ion;; hours for two weeks, that ho has only slept about flvo hours a night on the average. His voice Is growing very husky. Glen O, Holmnn though going on G2 years old, has made quite a vocal record in serving as reading clerk of the houso the past three days. The houso was In session Monday from 11 n. m. until about 1 a. m., and on Tues day from 10 a, m. to 2:30 a. m., and during this time ho read many thou sands of words and hundreds of roll calls. Yet, yesterday morning Mr. Hol mnn appeared for duty fresh ns a daisy and with voice strong ns ever. When tho house adjourned late last night his voice was still unaffected. This morning ho reported for duty, feeling kittenish. Mr, Ilolmnn Is substituting for Reading Clerk Dudley Clark, who Is entertaining a boll on his chin. A visitor to the legislative hallB to day is Arthur V. Swift, of Baker, state president of the Farmers' Co operative and Educational Union of America, who has Just come from Washington, D. C, where he worked for some time before congress In the Interest of legislation for farmers. Mr. Swift will aid here In helping per suade the legislature to pass bills of rural Importance. By those who know him Mr. Swift Is regarded as a mind marvel. He knows all the chief facts about every county In the United States and Its politics. Tho quietest member of the house Is J. 8. Barton, of Coos county. He has not made a speech or motion this session. . But he Is a fine listener, and his voto counts as much as that of tho nolBlost member. Speaker McArthur Is resourceful. Several times this session he has been seen to swing his gnvel over his left shoulder and scratch his back. Representative Eaton's wife and two lltlo daughters are here from Eugeno to visit hltn. It Is an unusual and pretty Bight to seo a legislator with two children on his knees. Representative fluslav Schnoerr, of Clackamas, was delighted today whllo conversing wlfh Colonel R S. Busch, of Bull Run, Ore., to lenrn that he and the colonel were very distantly related. The- colonel's ancestors spelled tho name 'Busch." lie Is close ly connected with the Anhelser-Bush family of tho East. Colonel Bush won Mb title during tho Civil War by heating a Confeder ate sergeant In a foot raco nt tho bat tle of Hull Run. The colonel kept on running until ho reached Oregon, where he settled down and founded Bull Run, of which he Ib the heaviest taxpayer.

BELIEVE MADERD Futo of the Former President as Yet Unknown Business Is Resumed In Mexico City. lllNITKD I'llESS I.KASKD WIIIF1 Moxlco City, Feb. 20. General Felix Diaz Is certain to ho tho next presi dent of Mexico. Ho Is extremely pop ular with tho people, who welcome a return of the methods which Porflrio Diaz" exercised so successfully over the republic for more than a score of years. The campaign to make General Diaz president will stnrt soon, and ho prob ably will be elected without opposi tion. Tho Diaz following Is demand ing the execution of former President Madcro, and his fnto Is uncertain. Tho cnpltal was quiet today, with business rapidly resuming Us normal condition. No word concerning tho fate of for mer President Madcro was obtainable today, and crowds gathered In the streets and discussed this fact, Many persons here, however, believe that Madcro has been secretly executed, but so far as can be learned there Is no foundation for the belief. General Felix Dlnz today sent the following cnblo to Torflrlo Diaz, who wns driven from tho presidency by Francisco I. Madcro. "You aro avenged. Gustnv Madoro Is dead." It Is generally believed here that If General Diaz controls tho councils of tho provisional government that he will Insist on Francisco Madoro's death. Azcona nnd Jobub Ureta, for mer Madcro lenders, who fled after Dlnz gained control, were captured at Aplzaco this morning, while en route to Vera Cruz.
