requested its editor, Colonel Georje
Harvey, to refrain from longer openly

Colonel Harvey was the discoverer of
Governor Wilson politically. Before

Harvey caused Mm to i.*? "mentioned,"

to bring l>r. Wilson to public attention

make him the Democratic candidate for

Every day the prospects of the Inter?
borougb'a contracting with tin? city for
extensions of it?, system appear in a new
light, one moment the city is ready
with n proposition which differs as
Tweedledum from Tweedledee from the
I proposition rejected by the city hist
summer. Tin- next the Interborougfa
Company has undergone a wonderful
change of heart and Is ready to make a
I proposition that la almost benevolent.
1 The next day it Is all turned about. The
, utmost despair preval?a The confort?es
are as far apart as ever and nothing un?
der the sun is likely to bring them to?
gether.
It all resembles what has been going
on for years except as to the equanimity
with which the public regard? the bar
gaining. Once the community used to
be elated at the news that an agreement
was near and depressed when the pros
pect faded from view. Now it reads
the alternating newi with perfect tran?
quillity. A subway sysiein Is building.
Every one would lik?- to have the Inter
borough Company operate the parts of
if which might naturally be co-ordinated
with its present system. Hut If the In*
terborough Company will not come to
reasonable term? there is another oper?
ator in sight. In any ease a useful sys?
tem of rapid transit is assured. That Is
the reason for the public's composure.
CiVIC PLANNING.
Borough President IfcAneny'a advo?
cacy of the Municipal Art Society's sug?
gestion that a Chic Planning Commis
??on lie appointed with advisory powers
respecting future city buildings and
parks is well advised. The ?-?infusion
that lias existed BO long as to a court -
hous?> site has proved the need of such
a Commission. When the question arose
the city had no pulley. Even so elemen?
tary a proposition as the preservation
of the artistic effect of the city Hall
had to be established by public debate.
Tli?? problem was approached as If no
considerations need govern the selection
of the sit?- except tin* cost ?d' land and
the convenience of rapid transit facili?
ties, it was only by long discussion
that the idea ?if grouping the city's
buildings so as to intensify their effect
as representative of the city's dignity
??ame to be accepted and the movement
toward a civic centre was evolved.
Without gome commission to work con?
stantly toward this end the conclusions
somewhat painfully r?-a?-hed In the re
Cent debate are likely to lie forgotten,
and when tiie city has to erect another
great building the old habit of promts
cuous scattering will resume its sway.
A commission such as Mr. .McAneny
urges would serve as a reminder that
the ?lays ot haphazard were past
Mi:I \i. ADJl KCT8 TO WAR.
It should not escape attention that
the present war between Italy and
Turkey is the first in which Ciere has
been an opportunity to make nSS of
two of the most Interesting modern In?
v??iitioiis. one of which has, been re?
garded as likely t?> revolutionize mili?
tary science. These are wireless teleg?
raphy and airships. It might have
been expected, ton. that tbey would In?
largely employed in this war. seeing
thai Italy has been one of the foremost
nations in experimenting will), perfect?
ing and putting them to practical use.
No army in the world has taken up
SViatloo as an adjunct more seriously
and thoroughly thai that ?>f Italy, in
the puivhase and building of dirigibles
and aeroplanes, the establishment of
hangars and Instruction grounds, and
the practical training of men in aerial
navigation. '
Yet we bave heard very little of the
achievement? or the activities of the
Department of Military Aeronautics. It
I? known that two lanre dirigibles and
a numerous fleet of aeroplanes were!
some time ?go sent to the Italian head
quartan in Tripoli, where they may be
assumed to have arrived in safety. In
<le?'d. word has come of frequent use of
the nine u ??roui a lies which four expert
Officers possess Hut it does not appear
that any marked *N9Vka has been ren?
dered, So night to any considerable dis.
lance beyond the Italian lineH has been
reported, nor la it known that au_.iu
formation of advantage has been gained
by that means. In fact, the pari played
in the war by I his new Invention has
been practlcaily negligible
Neither have vve beard "f ?*?' '''''
portant use of wireless telegraphy '?
this war. (hough lhe Italian army is
abundantly equipped with apparatus of
various types It would be interesting
to know to what extent it 1? possible
to use the syst??in without interferen?*e
by the euemy, either In obstructing or
purloining messages, in nom?? resp?>ets
Tripoli seems to afford a particularly
favorable field for wireles?; telegraphy,
as also for aerial navigation, and It Is
rather disappointing to have heard so
little of their use and to have had so
little light thrown upon their re.il
utility in war. But perhaps the very
lack of information or achievement Is

A ?able dispatch from Berlin M "The
New York Times" has Just conveyed
the somewhat astonishing Information
that two lieutenants <>?' the United States
navy are to be sent to Germany to b-arn
the German language. The dispatch con?
tinued :
It )? the first time American navnl of?
ficers have ever ne. n assigned to learn
the laminage of .-? European country.
Several in recent years have been sent
to Japan for such a purpose.
Germany must feel Battered by so dis?
tinct au attention on the pari of the
Navy Department, and the correspondent
of "The Times" thoughtfully reports that
the innovation "meets the Emperor's
cordial approval.'' The neglected tongue
of Goethe and Schiller Is looking up. It
has been recognized by tiie American
navy as one worth exploring -almost hs
promising a held for mionighl oil ex
cuisions as the Japanese
Let us hope that the detail? to Berlin
will be changed frequently, s?? that soni"
acquaintance with the genius of the tier
man tongue may presently percolate lulo
the navy. It would certainly be of bene?
fit lo our naval officers to know how to
converse in their own language with the
officers of the second largest navy and
merchant marine In the world a marine
which is constantly expanding and carry
lug German commerce into every port on
the globe. It Is of first Importance for an
American naval officer to speak Spanish,
since our navy's closest Intimacy Is with
the Latin-American countries to the south
of ii?. and In two of our ib-pendenci ?s
Spanish is the common language. Hut
German ought to come nexl even if tin
whole naval personnel has t.? be trans
ported in aqusds to serve an apprentice
ship at Kiel or Hamburg or Inter deO
Linden.
V?t alas.' We thought that tbey
taught the young idea to shoot In tier
man on the banks of the Severn. It
might be a good idea for Secretary
Meyer to help alone the lrara-lt-ou-j.be
spot experiment by enlarging tin? Navnl
Academy's Teutonic staff or setting up a
couple of dozen Herlitz school branches
in the shadow of the Maryland Stat??
House.
THAT H It IKE 7~t V f~M n<>\
Th" Inquiry of a correspondent con?
cerning the can??' of th?- unusual brill?
iancy ?>f the last full moon, which
occurred <.n January i. calls attention
t?i au lnter??stliig lunar phenomenon
which might well have commande?! g?-ii
eral public observation at the time an?'
which will not again be seen for mam
years if I? true, as our correspondent
thought, that the moon on that date was
especially luminous and brilliant, it
was. in fact, the most luminous full
moon that had b'-en obs? rv?*/l since that
of December ir-'. 1808, and it win not
be equalled again until December, 1929,
or January. lli.TO; in whichever of those
month? th?? full EDOOU m-arest the win?
ter solstice shall ocnir.
The muses of this phenomenon were
several, relating to the position? of the
sun. earth and moon. A: that lime the
earth was nearest t.? th.- s m actual
perlhHlon occurring only tw?jnfy rdx
hours before full BOOB? and. of course,
the moon was also nearest to the sun.
and therefore received Its light most
Strongly. Moreover, the moon was a'
the point In lia orbit at which It was
nearest the earth-actual perigee being
only twelve minutes later than full
moon and therefore reflected the
solar light upon the earth most strong?
ly. Again, th?? moon at the winter
solstice Is very far north of the equator,
which in the Northern Hemisphere
causes It to approach our zenith and
thus to shed Its rays almost perpendic?
ularly upon the ?-arlh. giving them
their greatest Illuminating power ?mil
minimising the loss through atmos?
pheric Influenc?e. This last ?rendition
Is emphasized every eighteen reara by
the position of the no?l<-s of I he moon's
orbit, which in that period make a
complete revolution: Which I? why the
full moon of the winter solstice Is most
brilliant at such Intervals
It may be added that the??' condi?
tions apply to the Northern Hemisphere
and have nothing to correspond with
them In the Southern, 8o that the full
moon is more brilliant here than it is
beyond the equator. It may be thai
the poet's "summer Mes of Eden." if
they lie south of the line, do see "larger
constellations burning." but their "mel?
low moons'' can scarcely be as lum'nous
as at least one whl<-h glitters In our
northern winters.
