MOISSANT BRITISH HERO
Long Articles on Flight-Use of
the COMPASS.

London, Aug. 18.-Moissant is the hero
of the British press. His smiling por-
trait, appearing in almost every morn
ing newspaper. will make his features
as familiar to the British people as any
public favorite.
The papers print columns of descrip-
tive matter concerning his flight. and
interviews. while many of them have
editorials on the feat, which, il is held,
will bring aeroplanes into practical,
every day life. 1t is argued that If u
passenger can be carried across the
Channel in a strong wind, there is no
reason why the air should not be utilized
TO carry mails and passengers in the
near future.
The thing whicn most impresses the
London morning newspapers Is the fact
that Moissant steered by compass. All
air-men have complained that the COM
pass is useless in connection with air
flights on account of the strong vibra-
ton from the motor. Moissant appears.

If Moissant reaches London he will
receive the cup and prize offered by 4
the proceeds of the subscription raised
In London for Grahame White, which
the unsuccessful competitor in the Lon
dom Manchester flight offered as a prize
for the Paris-London trip.
The fight was accomplished in a wind
so high that experienced aeronauts re-
garded the start as foolhardy. He ex-
pected to have a French torpedo boat
follow him across the Channel, but it
was unable to get up steam in time to
accompany him, and the aeronaut was
followed in his start by only q tug.
Moissant landed at Tilmanstone before
the vessel had reached mid-Channel.
Moissant launched his aeroplane at
1915 o'clock this morning from the cliffs
near Calais. The Bleriot monoplane,
which appears to spectators less steady
In the air than the bplanes, pitched and
rolled so that spectators believed it in
imminent danger. Moissant, however,
managed his machine with the greatest
skill, and passed out of sight at Calais
at a height of five hundred feet.
Aeronaut's Recent Flights.
Moissant, after four trial flights on
August I. flew with his mechanician as
a passenger from Etampes to Issy. fifty
miles, at an elevation of three thousand
feet. arriving as the competitors in the
'cross-country race were starting from
Issy. Yesterday morning he ascended
at ISsy with Latham, and reached
Amiens after two hours flight. At
500 O'Clock this morning he again
started from Amiens, heading for Calais,
still carrying his mechanician as a pas
senger. He descended there at 1:15
o'clock.
Hubert Latham, who started from Issy
at the same time as Moissant, had trou-
BILE on the first stage of the journey, and
in landing at Amiens damaged the pro-
peller of his machine. Rushing repairs
in the hope, if possible, of Outstripping
Moissant, he succeeded in getting his
machine in shape to start this morning
but while making trial flight, prepara-
tory to continuing his journey to Eng
land the aeroplane touched a tree with
machine turned turtle and plunged to
the ground wreck. Latham escaped

CHOLERA REACHES ITALY
Outbreak in Bari-Government
Tries to Check Spread.

Rome Aug, lf.-Asiatic cholera has
proken on; in the province of Rari delle
Puglie, peninsula in the adr;.+ic and
measures have been taken bx tho GOV
eminent TO prevent as far as nossihle
the spread OF the disease. The Home
once to-day issued the following state
ment:
me oIficrais who We're sent 10 the
province OF Bari dele PusIie 70 ascer-
tain the true nature of the e,,Snectad
cases Of cholera in some of Tho VILLAGES
have established. after bactor;o,oo;c.,
examination, that cholera Is existent
there. Precautionary measures. which
were taken when the cases first aroused
suspicion. are now being vigorously car
ried out, and II is believed that the
spread of the epidemic can be prevented.
The Home Cffice. in addition to order
ing that measures of a general char
acter be taken in all the provinces OF
the Kingdom, has issued special instruc-
tions that IN the provinces adjoining
the infected territory the most eiab-
orate precautions be taken to prevent
the transmission Of the Infection
Should any cases occur they are to be
Immediately isolated.
The disease is especially severe at
Trani. a seaport on the Adriat.c. twen-
ty-five miles from Bari. where in fifteen
cases twelve have died. and al Barletta.
where nine deaths have occurred in
twelve cases. Other places seriously af-
fected include Andria. Margherita di Sa-
voia. and Trinitapor.
Strict hygienic measures have been
adopted and the people have been urged
ing the drinking water and refusing to
eat fish, fruit and uncooked vegetables
The official announcement has caused
great alarm among the people of South
crn Italy Many of the southern resi-
dents are of the ignorant type. and are
frightened by the truth more than if the
government had evaded the statement Of
facts.
Already it Is reported that instead of
obeying the prescribed rules many of
the natives are denouncing the author
titles, and. where sickness prevails, are
concealing those affected, in some cases
transporting them into the open coun-
try, fearing lest they may be placed in
quarantine. There is general move
ment from the infected districts, which
seems likely TO prove serious menace
