The Situation in Ulster No historical parallel is ever complete, but exactly the same things which are being said of the Ulster Volunteers of the to-day perennid of rebellious American colonisté in 1775, and though the latter called forth heaps of regimenta and ships, historical records do not show that Great Britain's enterprise was attended with Beabsolute fortune. In a certain sense almo, Ulster is stronger than were: the | American colonists, for whereas State particularism nearly ruined the American cause and prevented the appearance in the field of more than 35,000 men at any one time, Ulster is united and can place three times this number in the field. But it is the realisation of this forceful: preparedness of Ulster, the Army arrangements of the Nationalists, and the position which the regular Army will-ar will not take up which must make every one hope that a settie. ment on peaceful and non-political lines will be arrived at The Bituation has now reached that acute stage when anything might happer, and politicians mast sink all self and party interests in the endeavour to find the solu tion which will prevent the meeting of these trained forces in open warfare.

Factors of Safety In Aeroplanes. An attempt is made to estimate the greatest probable load from the experiments on planes and the probable conditions of flight. Thus it is estimated that the effect of a gust may be to increase the load on the wings to four times the weight, while the effect of banking may increase it to 1.4 times. These might come togeth er, when the load would be 5.6 times the weight. It is consider ed that in the case of a steep dive the load due to strening out might be eight times the weight, though it is stated that wish pro- per care in flying this should not exceed six times the weight. It will be seen that these estimates slightly exceed those we made, though the method of estimating them is very different, It is stated that the ratio of breaking lond to static weight in aotaal maobines which have been placed: before the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics vary from 3 to 7. In the case of machines having the lower figure being flown in bad weather, therefore, a failure of the wind would hardly be sur prising,
Dealing now with the factor of in safety, the Committeo consider that in the near future this should not be less than two, taking the maximum load at mix times the static weight
