BIRDMAN LOST IN
CLOUDS IN FRANCE
Vandenborn, Circling High in
the Air, Is Finally Found by
Searching Aviator
Especial Gable 10 The Call

=
PARIS, March 5.-The flying men, the
aviators, are accomplishing even more
remarkable feats.
Rougier made superb flight one day
this week over the bay at Monte Carlo.
He flew almost to Cap. Martin, and, re-
turning, alighted gently on the mar
row pier at Monte Carlo. feat which
only year ago was considered too
dangerous for an aviator to attempt.
Vandenborn, who used to be racing
bicyclist, made a sensational cross
country flight from Mournelon to
Rheims. After circling over the parade
ground of the Rheims barracks. Van
denborn alighted, drank tea with the
officers and started off again.
He enjoyed, or suffered, new ex-
perience for pilots of the air-he lost
his way in the clouds. Like a bird in
fog, he made wide circles. some miles
in extent. trying to learn where. or
rather over where. he was At last he
descended. got his bearings from some
peasants and set off.
Meantime Henry Furman became
anxious about his pupil and sent an
other aviator, Chaey, in search He
sailed away, but had not gone far when
he met Vandenborn returning, and they
flew together
Such hide and seek in the clouds
illustrates better than anything else
the progress aviators are making and
the skill thew are attaining in France

Neither the government nor the

Mr. President, the territories of
these two republics run contermin-
ouSly for 1000 miles, and the line
which divides them arbitrary.
