Trade Openings in China, The other part of Mr. Binnet's proposals, is concerned with the sharo of the Government in push- ing British engineering interests: be would put the whole of the organizations under three Com- mercial Attaches, at Peking, Shanghai, and Canton, who would have full control over the agents who are his "second line.. AT Desirable pasuch an arrangement might be, there is, we fear, little | hope of its immediate realization:

the traditional policy of lower- |faire and non-interference is too. deeply rooted to permit such a radioal: transformation as this would imply, while it (uld be objeated in some quarters that however important the British engineering industries maybe, they can scarcely claim to have three Commercial Attaches devoted to their interesis alonė. The day will doabilemn come when this traditional attitude will be modified and a new conception of the duties of a | Commercial Attache introduced, but until that happens it would seem that the British Engineering Association itself would have to

Wireless In Warfars, So it comes to this, for all practical purposen, wireless tele graphy is the nearest means of absolute security to intercom- munication that the Army posass3- es, and its use and practice is a matter which calls for strict st tention if the British Army is to sttain an adequale war effojsney. There is yet another reason why the use of wireless telegraphy should not be neglooted. It is the only means of communication with airships and aeroplanes, also with the Fleet. More particular emphasis should be laid on the need for aeroplanes to be fitted with wireless,

the Results of

the maneuvres show that theee

are the most effective connoitering purposes, as the following report proves,

More aeroplanes and airships were used thie year than ever before, and the rival fleets consisted of three. airships the Dolta, E's and Astra Torres-with 25 aeroplanes belonging to the White troops (the defendere), and aeroplanes including four monoplaned, but nonirships, belonging to the Brown roops (the-invaders). By means of wireless the Delta was able to rend reports of the movements of the Brown troops to the White headquarters.
