FLYING ENGLISH CHANNEL
Hubert Latham Started to Cross Today
and His Machine Dropped When
About Eight Miles From
French Coast.

Calais, France, July lo.--In an attempt
to fly across the English Channel today,
Hubert Latham nearly lost his life as
his monoplane dropped into the water

to be the ambition Of aeronauts. Com
ditions for the trial were considered per-
feet, and the monoplane soon disappear
cd out Of the sight Of the big crowd
which had gathered to witness the start.
Later a French torpedo boat returned
with the aeronaut and his machine.

of the torpedo boat about eight miles
from the coast It was just by good
fortune that the Frenchmen saw the
monoplane floating on the water, They
investigated and found Latham cling.
ing to the framework. He was hauled
