Mhey had been subjected. He declar
i ed with a smile that he would b off
4 aeain within, a few days in at at-
temot to make a one-stop trans-
1 continental flight. The single stop
; trill be made at Dallas, Tex., and
. the lieutenant said that he expected
to make the attempt within the
: coming week.
J r The official congratulations of the
army were given to the victorious
h aviator by Col. Archie Miller, com
f fiander of Long Island flying fields,
j who awaited sympathetically until
, ' The most joyous member of the
party, at least as far as demonstra-
tions went, was Trixie, the German
J police dog, who accompanied the
i flying parson as his mascot Trixie's
delight at finding the solid earth un-
der her once more knew no bounds.
I and she dashed around and around

I'- Maynard's Own Story.
I Mineola. Oct. 18. "From the
:; standpoint of, pleasure," said Lieu
i tenant Maynard, in an interview after
I landing, describing his round trip,
"we had quite a' bit out of it, flying
i over a number of states and getting
! into touch with people in different
I parts of the-tountry. '
r "Our hardships were scattered
rover the continent. The first day
b was not so bad. We were tired out
f at night, very tired, in fact, when
we reached Chicago on the way to
: San Francisco. The Aero club had
Bleeping quarters for us on the field.
They offered to take us in town, but
it would have taken us a couple of
I hours to get back in the morning,
j so we decided to stay on the field.
I We didn't get much sleep. We had
1 straw pillows and straw mattresses,
and it was not very comfortable,
j "Next morning we started out and
j encountered the roughest weather
of the trip. We finally got to
I Omaha and the weather got better.
The wind was against us, but we
i finally made Cheyenne. We were
delighted at the amount of ground
j we had covered at that time.
? "It was freezing cold at Cheyenne.
S -We were ready to start before sun-
? tip next morning. Four minutes be-
fore the sun appeared we started
our motor. We were pouring water
s into the radiator, and some of it fell
, into the overflow pipes and froze,
j ' 20 Degrees Above Zero.
I "The temperature was about 20
degrees above zero. We had to
thaw the pipes out and in so doing
we thought we had blown the radi-
ator to pieces. We took it off,
j .brought it to town and had it re
1 paired, got it back and were ready
1 io leave by 12:30.
j "We got to Salduro that night at
j punset. The people there gave us
1 i great reception. We got away
J shortly after sunrise next morning
4 and made. San Francisco at 1:12.
The enthusiasm was manifested by
! the great number of people that
i turned out, the congratulations that
were freely extended to us and the
numerous invitations to receptions
that we received.
j "The ontrol' stop commanders
j were unprepared for our coming.
; . Before starting the trip we thought
I that the Rockies would be the worst
i part for us. As a matter of fact,
I they were not at all bad. Over the
I Rockies 500 feet above them, we
' found we could glide to a safe land
l jng place in any valley...
i Couldn't Find Field.
1 . "When we got near Reno we had
J trouble in finding the field. Smoke
I hung over the city and made it dif
? fieult to see. , Going out of Reno,
X we had to climb straight up.
f ? "Going from Reno to Sacramento
I was the most beautiful and most
dangerous part of the trip. The
-mountains were covered with trees
'and snow. There was hardly room
j enough to drive an oxcart through.
t iVe crossed the mountains at an al
; titude of about 13,000 feet
' "We had trouble in finding San
Francisco because of the heavy fog
. which hung over the city and were
half way across the bay before we
.could see the shore. We lost about
i 10 minutes trying to find the city,
, but had a wonderful reception when
once we arrived. It seemed as
, though the whole city was out to
welcome us. I hated to leave there.
' "I talked in a couple of the
churches there last Sunday and had
1 all kinds of invitations I could not
; accept and was rather disappointed
to have to go away.
"I was invited to lunch by the
4 king of Belgium. He was late, and
i I did not have t;.me to wait. I in-
vited hira to ride, and he-informed
me his stay was so short he would
? not have time. .
"We had three days in San Fran-
tisco, and got away about 1:20 in
I the afternoon on Tuesday. We
?4 found Battle Mountain, Nev., about
4 the most enthusiastic town in the
'i west
"Battle Mountain is the home
I town of Capt Lowell H. Smith. The
: whole place turned out at the school
house that night, and they gave a
t dinner and dance in our honor. I
. did not dance. They presented us
- with a g6ld nugget and three arrow
v heads. We took Trixie, the dog,
i . u. tnr Mimunv." .'
' Sergeant Klein interrupted the
lieutenant here to remark that dur
ing the flight Trixie kept me com
pany and helped to keep me warm,
die saidjthe dog was unusually eold
'in the mornings, but kept her nose
lout into the wind most of the time
and seemed to enjoy the trip.

U. S. Isolation Broken Down.
Washington, Oct 18. Comple
tion of the transcontinental air
derby "plainly demonstrates that the
isolation of the United States with
respect to Asia and Europe is com
pletely broken down," Brig. Gen.
William Mitchell, chief of operations
of the army air service, declared in
a statement tonight to the Associ
ated Press.
"The air line distance covered."
said General Mitchell, "is 5,408
miles, in less than 50 hours of actual
flying time. It is as far as from
Constantinople to New York; from
Berlin to Denver; from Tokio to
San Francisco, and twice the dis
tance from Europe to America.
-"From a military aspect, there no
longer can be any doubt that a com
plete control of the air by any na
tion means military control of the
world. From the standpoint of dis
tances, Asia' is only divided from
America by 81 miles of water across
Behring strait, while the greatest
distance that has to be covered over
kVater between the American con-
100 miles if the route through Can
ada, Greenland, Iceland, the islands
north of Great Britain to Great
Britain itself-is followed. .
"The rapidity with which the air
dromes were established in this test
across the country shows that air
dromes can . be established with
equal rapidity for long stretches by
any other nation. A rigid dirigible
airship can carry 10 tons of cargo
now, besides its crew, fuel for a long
trip, and armament for its defense
10 tons of material will keep 1,000
airplanes working for one day.
Winners in the Greatest Air
Contest in History of Flying
DKeck. WCMine and Zt.-BMTnayPA
Here are the winners of the greatest aviation test in history, the
first transcontinental air flight. "Lieutenant Maynard, and his mechani
cian, W. C. Kline, made the trip from New York to San Francisco and
return in 10 days, including stops, and barring Sunday flying.
' They are the first of 60 contestants in the great air race to com-
Slete the trip across the continent and return. Lieutenant Maynard left
lew York Wednesday, October 8, arrived in San Francisco Saturday,
October 11, started his return trip Tuesday, October 14, and arrived at
the end of his course in Mineola yesterday at 1:50:05 p. m.
Breaks All Rerds in
Transcontinental Flight
Cheyenne, Wyo.," Oct. 18. Lieu
tenant Queen broke all records for
distance in one day's flight, accord
ing to computations made at the
landing field, flying 1,046 miles from
Bryan, O., to Cheyenne, Saturday.
This is said to be 160 miles farther
than Lieutenant Maynard's best
day's flight.

help of monarchist bands in order to
attack Moscow from there.
"In the northwest the blood
drunken trio, Yudenitch, Balakovitch
and Rodziacko, are advancing on
Petrograd. The Esthonian peace
negotiations served as a means to
lull the red Petrograd troops and as
a soporific.
"The army defending the ap
proaches to Petrograd j failed to
withstand the first blow, and danger
has again come to Petrograd. The
English and French radio stations
announce with joy the fact of our
failures on the road to Petrograd.
The stock exchange and the press of
the whole world are sharing the joy
and predicting the speedy, fall of
Petrograd. But they are wrong this
time. Petrograd will not fall. It
will stand. We shall not surrender
Petrograd.
Decries the Enemy.,
"For the defense of the first town i
of the proletarian revolution suffi
cient strength will be found in the '
peasants and the workers of the
land. Yudenitch's successes are
those of a cavalry raid. Troops are
being sent to the assistance of Pe
trograd and the retrograd workers,
who rose first of all. We must
break the skulls of Yudenitch's
bands and the Anglo-French impe
rialists." An account of the rapid success
gained by the army of General Deni
kine over the bolsheviki in central
Russia is given in an official com
munique issued from the war office
today. A bolshevik offensive cam
paign on an extensive scale against
fcSttassMpssKagsnBsssCTsassESBasBE w 'rt n' 'zsssie r i ji
Tsaritsch, on the lower Volga, was
opened, it states, on October 11. Op
erations were conducted on both
banks of the Volga and also to the
westward of the Volga as far as the
Don river. . '
In two days, it is stated, the bol
sheviki gained considerable ground.
Then volunteers under Generals
Wrangel and Ulaggai delivered a
sharp counter-attack, recovering all
the ground which had been lost and
inflicting severe losses on the bol
sheviki. Further to the west the
Cossack forces crossed the Don on a
wide front, taking 1,200 prisoners,
with many guns.
Still farther westward the Cos
sacks occupied the line of the Kho
per river, one of the northern tribu
taries of the Don, taking the towns
of Kalatch and Pavlovsk. Prison
ers to the number of 2,150, including
a complete field battalion, were tak
en and another regiment was de
stroyed. Large numbers of prison
ers were also taken at Orel and
Chernigoff. ; .. N
. Final Crash Inevitable.
Washington, Oct. 18. "The final
crash of the Trotzky-Lenine regime
may b delayed some weeks, but it is
inevitable.'-'
Ofikial information received here
thus summarizes the situation in
Russia. The closing act of the red
drama is already under way, ac
cording to reports from military at
taches and special agents.
"Only the inertia" of the anti
bolshevik groups has permitted the
present Moscow government to re
main alive beyond September 15, one
official who has made a special
study of the situation, said. The bol
shevik organization, the reports
said, has been so poor at the founda
tion the confidence of the masses
that only a push was necessary to
start the fall. This push has been
lacking because there was no ef
ficient co-operation between the anti-red
leaders, and In the absence of
initiative or ability on the part of
any one of them to start the forward
movement.
General Denikine'a advance to
ward Moscow, the campaign of attri
tion wa?cd by the northwest Rus
sian voiunteers and the stiffening
of Admiral Kolchak and his Cossack
allies, the reports say, have fur
nished more than the hoped-for
pressure.
Official dispatches today did not
report the fall of Petrograd, which,
however, was announced in Paris.
Ukraine Anti-bolshevik.
The fall of Petrograd, however, is
considered of minor importance as
compared with the results of Deni
kines advance.'
Official reports from the Ukraine,
once a stronghold of the reds, de
clare that it is now almost wholly
anti-bolshevik.
"The entire Ukraine will be free
of bolsheviki by spring, without out
side assistance," says one govern
ment dispatch revived here.
''- h the ".Hues still num
ber more than 500,000 men the ne
cessity of dividing the forces into so
many widely scattered armies, the
increasing effect of the impaired
morale and the lack of efficient co
operation from the interior, due to
the cfllapse of industrial life, mili
tary experts here do not consider
that figure as indicating anything
like the true military strength.
Reports to the Russian embassy
indicated that 134,000 square miles
of Russian territory had been freed
of the bolsheviki since September
20, and that the advance of the anti
red forces had cut the route over
which bolshevik propaganda might
spread to India and Afghanistan'
mm Moscow, The capture of 85.- '
650 prisoners, 700 machine guns, 90
ctnnon and tour armored trains by
the Kolchak forces also was. report
ed. 4
Another report to the embassy
said more than 30,000 of the most
prominent intellectuals of Russia
were being held hostage in Moscow
under sentence of death, many hav-i..,-!
already been executed. The re
mainder, it was said, would be exe
cuted if General Denikine attempted
to capture the city.
