SUFFERED MUCH FROM COLD
Wynhalen Forced to Plane 9,121
Feet to Earth.

Mourmelon, France. Oct. Henri
Wynmalen, the aviator, established a
new worlds record for altitude to-day,
rising to a height Of 9.121 feet. The
earlier best mark. of s,409 feet, was
made by the late George Chavez
Wynmalen rose until his motor failed
him and then made perilous descent.
He suffered intensely. and his exciting
experience was similar to that OF Leon
Morane. who on September 3 ascended
S,271 feet, establishing a record that
stood until 1t was eclipsed by Chavez
wynmalen started at 6:2S o'clock and
warmed up by circling the aerodrome
several times. testing his engine When
everything was working shipshape he
gradually rose in spiral course AT an
altitude of $500 metres he encountered
biting cold. His ears and fingers were
nunbed by an icy gale that slashed his
face and checked and at times drove back
the machine. Nevertheless, the aviator
continued the struggle upward AT n
height OF 2,7SO metres C9,121 feeD the
motor stopped and there was nothing
left for WynnIaien TO do but to plane
down 10 the edrti. This was accom-
plished in thirteen minutes, but the de-
scent required a battle with a wind
which threatened to dash the biplane TO
the ground. The airman landed safely,
but was thoroughly exhausted An ex-
animation showed that the carburetor
had been frozen at the great altitude,
thus crippling the power OF the machine.
The flight was official and the record
will stand.
Henri Wynmalen Is a newcomer in the
world of aviation He first attracted in
ternationa1 attention on September 20.
when at Bourg ne rose TO a height of
1856 feet. It is notable that the most
sensational feats of aviation recently
have been accomplished by compare
lively unknown aeronauts. The altitude
record now to the credit of Wynmalen
was held successfully by Leon Morane
and George Chavez, the Peruvian av1-
ator, who was fatally injured after his
flight over the Alps and died last
Wednesday WynmaIen was born in
Holland in 1889. He secured an avia-
ton pilots license only last month.

PLAN CHANGE IN
ARMY'S UNIFORM
U. S. Soldiers Will Wear Sweat
ers Instead of BIouses for
Service in Field

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. S.-With-
in a few months the uniforms and
equipment of the soldiers at Fort Sam
Houston, as we'll aa the United States
army in general, will undergo a rad
ical change. Information has been re-
ceived here that the recommendations
of the infantry equipment board nave
been approved by the war department.
1t is understood that the service hat,
the short overcoat or peaJacket, the
sweater, the shelter hat, the poncho
and the dispatch case are features OF
the new equipment.
OF these the most radical reform will
be the replacing of the ordinary blouse
in field service by sweaters. These
sweaters are not like the ordinary ath-
letic sweaters in common use, but are
more like the jersey and will button
up in front with bright brass buttons.
In lieu of collars handkerchiefs will be
worn around the neck, these handker-
chiefs to be of olive dIab color and
twenty-four or twenty-five inches
square.
The short, overcoat or peajacket has
been selected to replace the present
long overcoat. However, the cavalry
board is opposed to this change and II
may not be adopted. Another feature
will be the elimination of the blanket
roll, so long associated with the ap-
pearance of the soldier. Under the new
arrangement the entire load of equip
ment is to be placed on the soldiers
back, his arms being left free to handle
the gun. This, 1t Is said, Will allow a
full expansion of the chest and Will
greatly add to the appearance of the
army. From the front view none Of the
equipment can be seen, the blanket
and other utensils being so rolled on
his back that he can sleep without
much discomfort In full equipment.
The insignia OF office, instead OF
being stripes for the non-commissioned
staff, it is said, will consist of a badge
pinned upon the sweater. 1t is claimed
that these changes ir uniform and
equipment are being made along the
advanced lines followed by the nations
of Europe, and 1t is said will add to
the effectiveness OF the fighting ma
chine Of the republic.

GEORG|A'S S CHEERS
Former President Is Accorded an
Enthusiastic Welcome by
Thousands in Atlanta
NEEDS FOR CONSERVATION
Fear That Natural Resources Be
Monopolized UnWarrant-
ed, He Declares
NEEDS FOR CONSERVATION
fAssociated Pressl

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. S.-Theodore
Roosevelt came into Georgia today
and found a warm welcome. He was
greeted at Atlanta by crowds which
blocked the streets, needless OF the
rain. and cheered him. Earlier in the
day he spent several hours at Rome,
Ga, inspecting the Martha Berry
School for Poor Mountain Boys and
Girls, and in speaking to another
crowd.
Col. Roosevelt made three speeches
in Atlanta. His first was at the South
ern Conservation congress. lie urged
the people of the south to take care OF
their natural wealth, and said If the
country's resources should fall into the
hands of a monopoly, the people would
revolt.
After taking dinner with Mayor
Maddox, he spoke at the Uncle Remus
day celebration beng held to raise a
fund to purchase the home OF the late
Joel Chandler Harris, author of the
Uncle Remus stories, and preserve II
as a memorial to his work. After
speaking of the achievements of Har-
ris, Col. Roosevelt talked on new ma
tionalism. He talked to the negroes
of Atlanta in negro church.
Defense OF CONSERVATION
The auditorium was only half filled
when Col. Roosevelt delivered his ad-
dress on conservation, for admission
had been denied the public, only hold
ers of tickets being permitted to en-
ter the building.
Here and there, and notably in the
west" he said, "you will find men who
say our purpose is to lock up the nat
ural resources of the country. That Is
Just as absurd as If a private indi-
vidual would say the farmer was try
ing to lock up the natural resources C1
his farm when he declined to till his
land in such ways that 1t permanently
lost it's fertility.
Let us then make it the business
of the government, national or state,
as 1t may be, to see that the mineral
resources, so far as we still have pow
er over them, that the water power OF
the country, that all similar powers
are used under such governmental
regulation as will allow ample pron'
to the users, and at the same time
guarantee the public at large In It's
rights"
VALUE OF FOREST RESERVE
Col. Roosevelt then spoke of the ne
cessity of preserving the forests, and
continued:
II hope congress will pass the bill
for the creation Of the great Appalach-
ian forest service. These forests lie ir
several different states. The waters
which rise in them often go through
more than one state and 1t should
be particularly the work of the gov
ernment to see to their preservation

the Transmlssissippi Commercial c n
gress which will meet In san ANTONIO
November 22-25. This proposition has
already been twice defeated in the
federal congress by narrow margins.
1t will be pointed out that the Pa
cific ocean, which was once consid-
cred, commercially, to belong to Am
erica, is now dominated by sub5id zed
steamship lines from Japan. Japanese
ships now come to San Francisco car

erican companies cannot compete
against them because the japanese
government gives a subsidy for mail
service and naval service in time or
war.
REPRESENTATIVES, FROM HAWAII
Honolulu will also send representa-
tives to the Transmississippi CONNER
cial congress asking Endorsement for
an additional appropriation for harbors
and jetties, and O fund for defense of
the islands. The island will also ask
special immigration laws allowing
them to import labor to work their
sugar plantations which are now SUI
fering from lack of help. They VIII
also ask the congress to petition the
United States congress to apply home-
stead, mining and other land laws OF
the United States to the Islands.
Similar requests will be laid before
the transmississlppl congress by dele
gates from the Philippine Islands. Alas
ka will also send delegates asking In
dorsement for a federal survey ana
territorial form of government. These
insular possessions doing business
chiefly with the transmississippt states
have written that they feel they have a
peculiar claim on the congress to assist
them in their efforts of development.

Texas will ask the Endorsement for
movement to secure the application to
this state of the reclamation act or
congress. other western states Will
appear before the congress presenting
their special needs, for this organiza-
ton Is a sort of clearing house lot
western ideas along commercial lines
1t gathers together information con-
cerning the needs of all states and ter
ritories affiliated with it, and carries
these recommendations to the federal
congress. These recommendations are
regarded In washington as the unselr-
ish and outspoken opinions of the peo'
nle OF the west, and are consequently
correspondingly influential. More Of the
recommendations of the transmissis-
