that it would not lie made an en

MAKING TIIE DANGER
OUS PLACE SAFE
Prom 1 loirp'tav'p Iilv.
The county officials hav blown
.q of the range of vision near the
l'nitfd iSrcthren church south of
t!,i:-. city, two giant, oittnnwomls.
which have kept people from seeing
around the corner. Th" corner of
be farm on the west and north s'de
of the roqd has been purchased, and
th" corner which bas always been
considered dangerous, on account of
the square turn, and also by reason
of the growth of trees there, will
be made safe, as the trees which
have broken the ranse of vision
have been removed and the corner
changed from the square .to conform
to a curve, and thus avoidjng the
danger of collision which lias been
there before. This teems a very
sensible idea, and thould in the Ions?
run be a very profitable inveftment.

Yesterday Hon. K. P. Windham
received a letter from his son Hen

who has been given a furlough, to

France, and an extract from tin
b tter reads as follows: "Keceived a
letter from IJc-n dated at Kheims.
France, enclosed pictures of the
great cathedral, as it was before the
bombardment and as it looks now.
Th; i cathedral is said to have been
the most beautiful structure of its
kind in the world, but now almost
a tetal ruin.
Itluims formerly had a popula

Knights of Columbus secretary tells
me it bas only about in. Olio. The
city is full of statues, monuments
and buildings (.1 great beauty, and

2,000 FEET UP
M WAY TO U. S,
Giant British Dirigible Enjoying
Brilliant Sunshine Above Clouds
on Historic Overseas Trip.
London, July 2. The air minis
try has received a report from Com
mander Scott tbat at 10:15 Green
wich mean time (4:1a p. m. New
York time, the dirigible H-3 4 was
flying westward at SO knots, 2,000
feet above the sea.
At Jhis height the H-T.4 was above
the clouds and enjoying; brilliant
sunshine. Commander Scott ex-pe-cts
to arrive Friday morning.
Expected Friday Afternoon.
Mineola. July 2. Lt. Col. Fred
erick W. Iicas, in cha-ge of the
British admiralty arrangements for
the reception of the ilirigible H-34
after its flight across the Atlantic,
announced that unless unusually
heavy winds or storms were en
countered, the dirigible would ar
rive over Koosevr-lt field early Fri
day afternoon.
No attempt will be made to land,
he said, until evening, because too
much hydrogen gas would be wast
ed in making a landing during the
hot hours of the day. There is a
bare possibility, however, that with
favorable winds the giant craft will
arrive Friday morning and land
immediately.
Kverything is in readiness for
the dirigible's reception. Two hun
dred mechanics, trained in the han
dling of lightcr-than-air craft, and
seven provisional army balloon
companies of three ollicers and 100
enlisted men each. have been
brought here and placed at the dis
posal of the British officers. who
will direct the lauding and mooring
of the It-" 4.
Smoking Barred On Field.
Kvery precaution has In en taken
to guard against accidents to the
diiigible while he is here. No
smoking will b allowed i n the
!i-ld and all men engaged in
handling the craft will be searched
and deprived of matches to prevent
accidents by fire.
No airplanes will be allowed te
fly over noosevclt field while the
dirigable is there and at all nearby
fields but flights o absolute neces
sity will be permitted. Officers in
charge of the spe-cial navy wireless
stdeetcd on Ken.;evelt field to k"op
in touch with the dirigible as she
nears the coast and to make ar
rangements for her landing, expect
to get in direct wireless communi-
i-tien with the craft Thursday
nigh?.
To aid the crew of the R-T. I io
case they are forced to land at
night or in a fog an observation
balloon will be' sent up over the
field to serve as a marker. The pilot
will be supplied ' wit It rockets and
red flares.

ed by German Counsel
lAindon. July .1. -The allie-s, ac
cording to the Kaily Mail, have re
ceived assurances that the Dutch
government in the last resort wii!
not refu.. to surrender the former
(ierman emperor for trial.
Tii" newspaper says th;t the neces
sary formal objections will 'doubt
less be raised to maintain the - right r
of Dutch sovereignty, but as the de
ovind for his person can be made in
the name of the league of nations,
national rights will not bo infring
ed and there is no doubt the Dutch
government will b quite ready tc
get rid of the unwelcome guest.
It is not considered likely. the
Mail continues, that the matter will
coit before the Dutch courts, do
i'ptte certain statements at the
Hague.
Th" chief count in the former
kaiser's indictment, the Mail under
stands, will bo bis action in caus
ing violation of Belgium and Luxem
burg. The proceeding will be conduct"!
in Fngliih. but a translation will be
made into several language; simul
taneously.
John Androw Hamilton, Lord
Sumner, will preside over the five
judges representing the Fnitcd
States. Great Pritaia. France. Italy
and Japan at the trial of the former j
German emperor, according to the
Evening News.
Sir Gordon Hewart, solicitor ger.
er;:l of Great Britain, will lead for
the prosecution. William' Ilohcn
zolkrn. it is said, will bo defended
by German counsel, assisted by nu
nierotis British lawyers, if he wishes
them.

EUROPE AND RETURN
. IN TWELVE HOURS
Jules Verne-like Vision of Com
mander Read, Who Piloted
NC-4 Across Atlantic.
New Yeirk. July 2. Regular
transatlantic aerial travel would he
roine a reality within three years, if
interest in aviation evident in time
of war were continued in time of
peace, declared Lieutenant Com mar. -or
Albert C. Read, "skipper" of the
NC-4 at a dinner given by the
American Flying club for the airmen
.vho won for the American navy the
io:ior of being first to tly across the
Atlantic.
"Anyone who says that we will
lever attain an altitude of 60,000
.Vet; that we will never be able to
ross to Europe in the forenoon and
-turn in the afternoon; that we
ill never be able to accomplish th?
hings that appear impossible now,
s a most courageous perbon, with
courage similar to those in the
dden days who said that iron ships
voul 1 never work." asserted Com
ir.r.der Ker.d.
Commander Read predicted that
i the future. long-distance, planes
voubl ba much larger than the NC
eats, which have a wing spread of
'25 tVet. ami tbat'gearing down the
uopeller to obtain a greater etlici
uicy in continuous drive of gaso
ine motors would solve much oi
he jreicnt engine troubles on long
"ights. . - . .
"The design of larger airplanes in
he future will undoubtedly incor
ora'.e the features of a gearing
lown from the motor to the pro
filer and also the connecting up
.;' several motors to drive one large
rop Her," he said.
