REAL WHALE CAPTURED
BY LONDON RIVERMEN
LONDON.—The capture of a real
whale eighteen feet long and weigh
ing half a ton, in the River Thames
just above the Parliament buildings,
constitutes something new in Lon
| don riverside history.
Splashing and floundering in shal
low water about 100 yards from the
Battersea bridge, the young whale
quickly attracted attention. It had
’ failed to take advantage of the ebb
tide and was trapped on the fore
shore. It was killed with a boat
| hook and a small party of boatmen
I raised it by means of a crane to
i a wharf where it was measured and
j weighed.
Under a strict interpretation of
the Britsih law, the whale might
! have been commandeered as the
j property of the crown Any whale
captured in British waters consti
tutes a royal perquisite The tail,
according to law, would belong to
Queen Mary, and the head to King
j George. It is generally believed
| that this partition was originally de
1 cided upon in order that the queen
i should always have a stock of bone,
but the founder of this act of cour
tesy made the error of giving her
i the wrong half.
The strugeon also can be claimed
I as a royal perquisite, and this right
j has been exercised in recent times
! A sturgeon caught in the Thames
j was served at Queen Victoria’s wed
ding banquet, and a few years ago
a Welshman who captured one in
a Welsh harbor, complied with the
dictates of loyalty by sending it to
King George.

FOR SOLUTION OF
GREAT PROBLEM
—
WASHINGTON, D.. C.—Econo
| mic demobilization after the war,
| the unscrambling of the omelette
made by pouring all a nation’s re
! sources into the frying pan of war,
is beginning to occupy the attention
' of Germany’s statesmen and finan
1 ciers. First statements on what the
; public may expect, made only re
cently and transmitted here in offi
cial despatches, show that the gov
ernment of the Hohenzollern plan
to retain a great part of the indust
rial control seized under the guise
of national necessity and that this
control may be expected to be used
as a weapon against foreign com
petition.
“When the government declares
that a state organization will not be
necessary in all directions, but that
on the contrary it is hoped that a
great part of the economic life will
be left free, then it is undoubtedly
well not to take too optimistic a
view of the size of this free do
main*” says the Beriln Tageblatt, in
reporting the government’s plans..
“Government organization is plan
ned definitely only for the textile
industry, especially, and for grocer
ies, rubber, fats and oils, hides and
leather, and shipping space. The
organizations in question will be
built on the basis of the present
war organizations, not however, in
the way that these will simply be
taken over, but more in the way o?
simplified amalgamation"
“The ‘Wirschaftsstellen’, as the
peace organizations will be called,
will not be compulsory syndicates
with financial participaton, but more
in a way that all lindustries involved
in a certain district through their
co-operative associations appoint
delegates, who become members
of the ‘Wirtsehaftsstellen’. In con
nection with the textile industry,
for instance, the spinners, weavers,
garment manufacturers, wholesale
and retail dealers, as well as the em
ployees, would come into considera
tion. The ‘Wirtsehaftsstellen’ must
in the first place take care of money
matters, that is, must divide the
money which is at disposal for the
enterprise in question. It should not
do independent business, except in
cases where the circumstances ab
solutely demand it. Real business
might be transacted, as for instance
with foreign countries, such as now
the Ukraine, where it is necessary
to take a common stand.
“The shipping trade is probably
that which will have the freest
possible position inside of this or
ganization. The fact that the posi
tion of the German tonnage and
means of transportation in the tran
sition period is entirely in the dark
has caused the steamship owners to
also be drawn into the compulsory
organization. This should be hand
led by an office, which would see
that German tonnage first and fore
most is used for German import pur
poses.
I “While the least possible compul
sion will be exercised with regard,
to steamship owners, it is the inten
ton to make it very strict toward
the textile industry. The reason
lies mainly in the great shortage of
raw materials, such as cotton, wool, j
jute, hemp, flax, silk, etc., and these ;
offices, apart from their main work
of dividing the manufacture, should
distribute the raw materials.
“A simpler thing is with regard j
to groceries, as there is no lack of j
them on the world market, but,
rather an overflow. The regula-!
tion should be in the hands of a I
board of interested parties, under j
state control, and in each case per-,
mit should be given in order to pre-j
vent foreign firms entering the Ger-!
man market by aid of inland ille- i
gitimate trade. With regard to cof- j
fee and tea, a coffee import union
and a tea regulation office will be
established in Hambur" The rice
organization will be more severe,
as the Dutch mills are said to have
amalgamated. Here a state pur
chasing agency will be formed.”

ON AERO FIELDS
DALLAS, Texas.—A hospital air
plane is the latest innovation at the
Love Field Aviation school It is
an emergency airship manned by a
skilled pilot, with a physician in the
observer’s seat and it is kept ready
during all hours of flying practice
to enable medical help to reach
a fallen aviator.
The hospital “ship” is always
ready for instant use. That there
may be no delay, the emergency
machine is “cranked up” every
twenty minutes so that the engine
may be kept warm and ready to
produce its best speed as soon as
needed. The pilot and the physician
stay close at hand.
Observers with field glasses keep
a watchful eye upon the men in
the air and the instant a flyer starts
falling, information is telegraphed
simultaneously to the ambulance, the
fire wagon and the hospital “ship”.
Oftentimes when a forced landin'*
occurs it is in a field distant from
any road, and the ambulance can
reach it only by traveling a long
and round-about way. The hospi
tal “ship” can save time, not only
by its speed, but also by going
direct to the scene of the accident.
The'ubiquitious evidence of pre
parations for accidents is thoroughly
approved b ythe young flyers and
has no depressing affect on their
spirits. Always during flying times
the ambulances manned and with
motors running, stand on the “dead
line” ready to start. Forced land
ings sometimes occur, with occa
sional accidents, but most frequently
the injuries are not serious, so the
ambulances have no terrors for the
cadets. They call them “meat
wagons.”
Adjutant \\ yman has just an-i
nounced that work in aerial wire
less and aerial photography is being
done at Love Field now, special
equipment being placed on the
planes recently for these purposes. ;
Another innovation is a “traffic
squad”, composed of two or more
machines which patrol the air dur
ing flying to see that the practicing
aviators stay within the aerial
bounds assigned them by their in
structors As the training progress-1

i es and the men become more expert,
! there is a greater tendency toward
flying far afield to some of the
dozen little towns ten to twenty
miles from Dallas. The landing of
an airship is an event in these towns
and the aviator who lands is feted
| and made much of. The instructors
j discourage these trips by penalties
but when a flyer is having his cross
! country training, “forced” landing!
are inevitable and the towns which
j have the best reputation for hos
| pitality get numerous visitors.
Now the traffic squad will patrol
: the air, the boundaraies of the train
| ing field except for those engaged
at stunts or cross country flying,
will be well marked and a reprimand
will be due for flyers who pass out
of bounds.
Reports both from Love and Call
Field at Wichitia Falls are that
; both these camps are to be made
i
schools for advanced flying and
men will be sent to them direct
from the ground schools, but only
after they have been put through
its fundamentals of flying and had
a certain number of hours in the
air in some of the other schools.
Then they will come to Love and
Call fields and receive their train
ing in stunts and in war duties.
These include acrobatic work,, ex
tensve formation flying of the diffi
cult military type, and cross country
flying with advanced instruction in
wireless, aerial gunnery and photo
graphic work.
