George O. Squier, second in command of the signal corps headquarters at the War Department, said last night, concerning the aerial route: "The plan is entirely feasible.

There Is no reason why It could not be a success. The Zeppelin airship passenger line in Germany has made progresf. The proposed line between this city and Baltimore could be a success, provided the right kind of dirigibles -wjere used. I do not believe, however, that tne passage could be made in 40 minutes, as contended by Mr. Bolglano." Other aeronautical enthusiasts last night expressed their belief that the proposed aerial transportation line between the Capital and Baltimore could be a success.

Homer Is Much Impressed With the Simplicity and Scope of the "Universal Tongue." ACCUSE WOMEN OF HOLD-UP Is Esperanto, the new international language, sufficiently advanced to warrant Its Incorporation as a part of the curriculum of the public schools? W. V.

Cox, the new president of the board of 'education, says not, and another member of the board, R. R. Horner, is undecided upon the relative value of Esperanto as a study. Mr. Cox EBld: "At the nrese.nt time we are unable to include French or Spanish in the curriculum of the public schools.

To my mind these two languages are of Infinitely more benefit to the average person than all the Esperanto taught. To a certain extent Esperanto is a wonderful thing, but I am Inclined to think its scope will necessarily be limited. It is about as hard to adopt a universal language as to adopt a universal line ot thought. "Just now we lack many necessary studies in the public schools. Each new study taught means an added outlay of njoney.

After we have instilled into the minds of'our children all the necessary elements of education which they In future life will be called upon to use, then will be the proper time to teach Esperanto. It is also very hard to say just what the future may bring forth. The value of Esperanto increase to such an extent that It will be indispensable In the schools. However, the demand is not that urgent at the present time." Mr. Homer's Views.

R. R. Horner said: "I attended several of the meetings of the Esperanto congress and I am thoroughly Impressed with the simplicity and scope of the new language. As to whether it is necessary In the schools 1 am undecided. Probably within a lew years it may become absolutely necessary, and I have no doubt when that time comes Esperanto will be taught just as any other study.

I do not know how the other members of the board feel on the matter, but it Is possible we may meet and decide on the merits of the question." U. IMVe 420to42i7tfaSL 417 to4258thSt. Shop Early.

BREAKS -WESTON'S RECORD. John Ennis Reaches Pacific Coast in 78 on His Tramp West. 'Sacramento, Aug. eight days out of New Tork city oy POST Want Ads 1 arc FREE column of government troops arid effected the crossing of the Tlpltapa River. The rout of the government army seems to have been complete.

Government Troops Flee. Mr. Olivares reports that General Toledo, who was In command of the Madriz troops, arrived in Managua the day following his defeat and announced that his force had been seized with panic and, fled when attacked. Some of the soldiers made their way to Granada, while others continued their flight to the capital Itself. Qrana'fla also appears to be at the mercy of an undisciplined mob of soldiery, who is reported to be pillaging the houses there.

It is added that tradan force is already at the gates of the city, and is preparing to take the place by assault. From the evident demoralized condition of the Madriz forces, bserVers here believe that Granada will be taken by Estrada with little trouble 'the way to the capital thus practically will be clear. It seems to be the unanimous opinion in Managua, Mr. Olivares reports, that the power of Madriz is steadily weakening, and his overthrow may be momentarily expected. The revolutionary army is only 20 miles from the capital, and the capture of Managua is looked upon as inevitable.

Ready to Abdicate. It also was announced that Dr Madriz has publicly declared his intention to turn over to Jose Dolores Estrada, a brother of Gen. Juan Estrada, the de facto authority actually in his hands. In turn Jose Dolores Estrada has announced his purpose of making way for the leaders of the Estrada revolution. The family of Dr.

Madriz already has left the capital for Corinto, and the dispatch declared that Madriz was preparing to follow them. Gen. Mas and his family and Gen. Toledo, it also was declared, were making hasty preparations to leave the country. In support of Mr.

Olivares' advices Consul Johnson reports that the Madriz family arrived in Corinto Friday, and that, with Gen. Irias and his household, they expected to leave for Mexico or the United States on Monday aboard either the gunboat Angela or the northbound Pacific Mail steamer. In a statement issued last night Dr. Modesto Barrios, one of the Madriz emissaries in Washington, admitted the overthrow of the Madriz faction. He said: "I have no advices from Nicaragua regarding the capture of Granada by the revolutionists or of the battle on the Te- pltapa River on Friday, but I fear the Madriz army has been routed and that Gen.

Estrada is in full control of Managua by this time. My failure to receive information after so important an engagement is an ill omen." Dr. Barrios and Sebastian Salinas have been in Washington as special envoys of Dr. Madriz in the hope of having the Department of State intercede in behalf of their leader. They have maintained friendly terms with Dr.

Salvadore Castrillo, the Washington representative of Gen. Estrada. Dr. Castrillo said last night that he did not have the slightest doubt but tTiSt Gen. Estrada had won and that the revolution was nearlng its end, with the insurgents as victors.

He stated that the crossing of the river by the revolutionists means absolute victory. The cablegram to Dr. Castrillo was: "All our army forced a passage at Pan- alota. The enemy was routed after fourteen hours' fighting, leaving in our hands one field piece, 100,000 cartridges for small arms, 200 rifles, together with provisions and prisoners." Dr. Castrillo says that the regular Estrada army will be reinforced "on the west side of the river by an army of 1,000 revolutionists under Gen.
