The com manding; general of the German aer ial forces has issued an interview to the German newspapers in which he attempts to discount the pros pective participation of American aviators in the war for mastery of the seas. Dispatches from the United States telling- of hundreds of aviators who are to be graduated weekly and of the thousands of air planes to be constructed give the general an occasion to speak scoff ingly of what he terms the usual Anglo-American bluff and American weakness for big talk and tall fig ures. American fliers, he says, un doubtedly will appear at no distant date in increasing numbers on the western front, but the American av iators thus far encountered have not been particularly dangerous oppon ents of the Germans, and a new squadron would merely augment the already numerical superiority of the allies and not affect the question of aerial mastery which, he asserts, is dependent on the morale of the fliers and not their numbers. "The German people,' says the" gen eral, "need not be disturbed by these foolish scare stories which show all the characteristics of American tongue valor." He adds that Amer ica's present supply of army and navy airplanes is negligible. He cites The London Morning Post to prove that the Americans have not developed a practicable type of military plane and says, therefore, they must begin from the ebginning. TARTARS OF THE LAKES COUNTRY New York Herald. Since Russia's abandonment in lyOii, of the policy off repression that came in with the Slavophile movement six years earlier, Finland has enjoyed an autonomy practi cally complete. The restoration of constitutional rights which fol lowed the great national strike" gave that country a diet of a single chamber consisting of two hundred members, elected under a system of proportional voting, with equal suffrage for men and women more than twenty-four years of age. lhe executive power has vested in a governor, acting together with a nominated senate, the senate res ponsible to the diet as well as to the tsar in his capacity of grand duke of Finland. The Finns are a distinct people, neither Slav, Teuton nor Scandina vian, but relicts of one of the Mon gol hordes that pushed into Europe. After long experiencing the dis asters that go with the condition of buffer state they selected the tsar of the Russians to be their grand duke and ruler, at the same time be ing guaranteed the rights of their own constitution and fundamental laws. Under this Russian connec tion, which began in 1809, Finland has- prospered greatly. The renais sance of the Finnish language has come since then, and with it the spir it of nationalism has grown stronger. While the Slav cry for "one law, one church, one tongue" was active from 1899 to 1905, it made little headway save among the official classes. Rus sians form a negligible factor in the population; the Orthodox church has a mere handful of adherents; more than three million of the three and one-half million inhabitants are classed at Lutherans. Swedish is the secondary lan guage. There is a Swedish party in politics. Undoubtedly the hand of that nartv is seen in the "indepen dence" movement which culminated in the Helsingfors declaration on Sat urday, though the social democratic nartv has led the way. mnianu is the bait the kaiser has been dang liner before Sweden's eyes. I The pro-Germanism of Sweden is born of cupidity, with Finland the prospective victim. Independence i mav be most attractive to Finish ' politicians and people at this time, but they must know that the best : thev can hope for is a return to the uneneviable uosition of buffer state. With German backing, Sweden wil irrab Finland if she can. That would mean bringing right up to Russia's front door an old enemy stroncer than ever. . No political party in Russia could afford to stand for a return of that condition. Just now XNew Kussia mnv he iniDotent to prevent the Finns from hrpakiner awav. but with the strengthening ' of government at Petrograd that is bound to come Finland certainly will be called up on to return to her Russian allegiance. SUBMARINE IS SUNK BY AMERICAN GUNNERS Paris, July 25 An . American steamer recently sank a large Ger man submarine according to a dis patch to the Temps from Havre.

The convenience of the camera has been further Increased by the addition of a means for accurately Judging the actinic value of the light at the time of making a picture, and thereby ar riving at the correfct length of expo sure to be given the sensitive film, says the Scientific American. The improve ment relates particularly to those cameras which carry a roll film. As these films are now made they are backed with a sheet of black or red paper for the purpose of protecting them from the light, and they have Imprinted on them numbers which ap pear under a tiny opening in the back of the camera and serve as a guldo to the operator in properly spacing the exposures on the film. The new scheme, in addition, contemplates at taching to the backing paper, pieces of sensitized paper at regular inter vals which pass along under another opening, and by observing the change which takes placo in the color of these pieces as they are exposed under the opening, the operator Is enabled to ar rive at the length of time the shutter to tQ be opened in making the exposure tgt jjesired picture.
