The Hague is yet to be heard from. It would be a curiously incomplete humanity which, having barred poisoned shot and the dum-dum bullet, should yet sanction massacre from the clouds.

[AERONAUTIC ADVANCE EXPECTED THIS YEAR] Friday at Baddeck Post Dispatch ??? 8 Mar 1909 [GERMANS EAGER FOR AERO RACE] Three alloons and Pilots Selected for International Contest Next October. Details have been received at the Aero Club of St. Louis concerning the men and balloons which will represent Germany at the great international contest to be held here next October. The Berlin Aero Club will be represented by Capt. Hildebrandt. It has not yet been decided what balloon this society will enter, but trial races will be held at the Dusseldorf next June to determine which airship shall compete at St. Louis. The Lower Rhine Aero Society, which has headquarters at Dusseldorf, has entered for the race a balloon which it has named Dusseldorf. Its pilot will be Capt. von Abercron. He will be accompanied by Herr Erbsloeh, a manufacturer of that city. The third balloon from from Germany will be known as the Pommern. Its pilot will be Freiherr von Hewald of Pommerania. Star Parkburough? 8 Mar 1907. N.N. [TO HAVE BIGGEST AIRSHIP.] Dr. Thomas Hopes to Tour Atlantic Cities in His New Flyer. New York, March 8.--Dr. Julian P. Thomas, of the Aero Club, who recently has made several successful balloon voyages, is having built for his use the largest airship in the world. He expects to smash the world's records this spring and fly to Philadelphia and Boston in his new machine. He is being assisted by Charles K. Hamilton, who made 190 ascensions last year and who holds the record of the highest flight yet made. The new airship, by reason of its intricate construction, is being build piecemeal in various factories in this city. It will be named the New York, will be more than 100 feet long and will cost about $15,000. It will carry one 30-horsepower engine with a capacity for one additional engine of the same power. The airship will carry three or four persons. the frame will be of steel, which will obviate such accidents as happened to Hamilton and Knabensue when the wooden frames of their airship broke last year. A gascooling device is to be installed, which, if successful, will enable the aeronauts to operate without using ballast. The cooling device will counteract the effect of the sun's heat upon the gas. Another innovation is a new propeller the shape of a wheel, with a number of small, very thin blades , instead of the large blades heretofore used. Press. ???? 8 March(?) 1987 [AERONAUTICS WILL ADVANCE RAPIDLY] Carl Myers, Well Known Here, Talks on the Subject "That the art of aeronautic is already of great and rapidly increasing importance is shown by its advance within the last few years," said Professor Carl E. Meyers, of Frankfort, an aeronautical engineer. In a lecture on "Aerial Locomotion: or, the Conquest of the Air." "During the last year Lieutenant Frank B. Lamb of the United States has won the International Aeronautic Cup, awarded by the Aero Club of France for a balloon voyage of 402 miles, from Paris to Flying dales, England, defeating 15 competitors, representing the highest skill in Europe. Forty-eight years earlier, in 1859, the veteran American aeronaut, John Wise, made a record flight nearly 1,200 miles in about 19 hours from St. Louis, Mo., to Jefferson county New, York State.this ha never been surpassed in combined speed and distance, so America holds the world's...
