Six Army Planes Complete Flight of 6,000 Miles Secretary Weeks Orders Cita tions for Pilots Who Flew to Porto Rico With Land Planes. Washington, April 8.—The six army airplanes which left San Antonio, Tex., a month ago on a 6,000-mile flight to Porto Rico and thence to Washington, landed at Bolling field to day, bringing to successful conclusion one of the most remarkable flights ever atten.pted by the army air ser vice. Secretary Weeks extended the welcome to the 12 pilots who made the trip and directed that a ettation be placed in their records crediting them properly with their achieve ment. Air service officials said the flight negotiated by land planes over wide stretches of water and strange land areas without accident and on sched ule, splendidly illustrated the role air craft could take in the scheme of na tional defense. Capt. Thomas G. Lanphier, in com mand of the squadron, declared Porto Rico formed the logical base of action for an air force against enemy fleet approaching the Panama canal from the Atlantic side, adding that it had been proved possible to concentrate an air force at Porto Rico within 24 *■ hours and attack an enemy fleet or bombard land bases within a radius of 80Q miles. Major General Patrick, chief of the army air service, also called attention to the part aircraft could play in de fending the country and providing means of quick communication be tween the continental United States and the island posser-aions.

Custer Survivor Given Pension Indian Scout, Only Man to Es cape in Massacre, Is Liv ing in Montana. By Cniverml Service. Washington, April 3.—A survivor of the famous Custer massacre, in which it was believed everyone was killed, has been unearthed and pen sioned, the Department of the Interior announced today’. He Is Hhuh-Shee-Ahsh. alias Curley, a Crow Indian living on a reserva tion in Montana, lie has satiefied the government that he was a scout with Colonel Custer at the time every man in his command was voted by the tribes of northern Cheyenne and the Sioux. With three other Indian scouts, Shuh-Shee-Ahsli went with Custer Into the battle of the Little Big Horn on June 23, 1876. On the morning following the battle, when soldiers sent to the relief of Custer surveyed the scene, they were able to account for every man except one of the scouts. A search of War department records reveals that this man, who could not be accounted for, was the Crow Indian now claiming a pension. “The fourth scout who left the field of Custer’s fight, named Curley, was actually’ with Custer throughout the battle. Ho escaped by mingling with the Sioux and Cheyennes and rejoined his detachment four days later," the Mar department reported In confirming his service.
