LACK OF FUNDS STILL HAMPERS
Frm a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. e .-(Special.)-The first
public flight of the Nebraska National
Guard aviation corps took place last
nlKht at the aviation camp at the stste
fair grounds.
The Nebraska jruard Is the first state
ruard to organize the iiew method of
warfare and the flight last nlKht u In
every way a success. The corps ! com
posed of unlta with each having cue ma
chine. The corps la In charuo of Captain
Shaffer, who has one machine In charge
of corps unit No. 1 The other t'nlt is
In charge of Camtoln McMillan, who, like
Captain Shaffer. Is an experienced flyer.
Captain Is Delayed.
Captain Shaffer has been delayed on
slderably in the assembling of hi ma
chine, but Captain McMillan brought
with him to the camn hli own machine
ready for action and last nltfht a largo
crowd of people witnessed two fine
fllg'nts, the captain aolng ud nearly 2,(i0
feet and dropping bombs In an effort to
show the crowd the method used In
aerial warfare. Either of tho bombs
dropped would havo done lernble execu
Hon to a battery, war ship or body of
men.
Accidents to McMillan.
Captain McMillan, has had two acci
dents alnce hla entry into aviation, nee
he dropped 400 feet and sustained a
broken shoutder, wlille ejiother drop
broke a leg in two places. However, such
things do not seem to have lessened his
t:rdor in the cause and when he heard
that General Hall had organised at ftvl
ttlon adjunct to the Nebraska guard Ja
wlrsd him from hla homo In Iown that his
services and machine wers at tho call of
tho general. Glad to secuto such, ft valu
able assistant to Captajn Shaffer General
Hall wired him to come. Captain Phaffer
receives to lay other tnan Ills board.
The same can be said of the two doxen
. mi.ltia men who have offered their serv
ices in the aviation school. They come
from different companies ot me ne-i.-.
-I,- tfnard and receive nothing but
their board.
Morehead Bees Flights.
Governor Morehead waa present last
night and expressed himself as more than
pleased with the work that Is going on
t'nfortunately the guard Is badly cramped
' for funds because of the penurious system
of the last legislature In refusing to ap
propriate funds sufficient. Had the guard
a thousand or two to put Into this work
the chances are that Nebraska could
take the front rank along the lines of
military aviation.
Much of the suocess ' of the present
school must be given Captain Shaffer,
formerly Instructor at the Curtis school
of aviation at San Diego, Cal. He has
, taken an active Interest In the work and
haa already expended nearly $2,000 for
material and other things which the Ne
braska' school needed, from his own pri
vate funds. As a partial recognition of
that service General Hall has commis
sioned him a captain in the National
Guard of the state and made hlra chief
of aviation.
Another flight will be made next Sun
day afternoon or evening.
