Mccurdy Flies From Florida to Cuba
This Morning Across the
Waves of the Blue
Gulf Of Mexico
THRILLING ADVENTURE
Trip Of 115 Miles Was Made With

Missed BY Ten Miles.
HAVANA, Jan. 30.-One Of the
most spectacular flights ever made by
an aviator failed of complete success
by less than ten miles, when McCurdy
was forced to land in the water be-
cause of the lack of lubricating OIL
Just as he was about to reach the
goal, he discovered that his motor was
running hot for lack of oil, and he
was forced to drop into the water.
1t was bitter disappointment for
him, for he had waited for week for
the proper day.
News of his start had been cabled
and Havana took a day off. Even the
government Offices were closed and
/ everybody was out watching. There
! was long wearisome wait until the
signal was finally given that McCurdy
4 was coming.
McCurdy was resuced by a torpedo
boat His machine was placed on the
boat, new oil was furnished and ht
started again for Havana, Thousands
watched him from Moro castle.

The Divided East.

| Alarmists who love to picture an
overwhelmed West in the grip Of a
oonquering orient would do well to
turn to the battle of the scripts" as
now waged in India. We are accus-
TONED to think Of eastern populations
as fairly homogeneous, and as needing
only some resolute leader to unity them
almost as one man against the occi-
dent Such ethnic differences as exist
We are in the habit of diseounting in
the superstition that the widest Of them
are amply covered by cultural inner
itanees from shintoism, Buddhism, Con-
fucianism, or Mohammedism And we
eagerly listen to Mr. Weale when. in
his Conflict of Color he warns us
Of the spread of rationalism in the
East, and of the assimilating influence
it is exerting on the "yellows" and the
browns IN that part Of the world.
All such views read like a fairy tale
in the light of the new responsibility
to which British bearers OF "the white
mans burden" are now awakening. The
vigorous agitation just begun for IAN
imperial script for India" brings out
an almost hopeless division in the very
elements Of human culture, to say moth
ing of the materials of political unity.
There are at least fifty separate al
phabets or syllaharies, with 200 ver-
naculars, in the Indian empire. To the
lack Of simple scrip must be traced
the fact that in u population OF over
294 100000, India has no fewer than 27S.-
10000 illiterates.
The need Of a unifor msystem of let.
ters is urgent. But while the native
demand Is for the Nagari. or modern
Sanskrit characters, British reformers
urge the adoption of Romanized let
ters on the ground that these would
serve as an important link between
India and modern civilization. The
problem thus raised is not for india
alone. 1t is being more or less real
lied throughout the orient. The col
onies Of France and Germany have it
on their hands. Japan is already CROP
ing towards Europeanized script, and
change Of types should certainly be
looked for in the new China. The
East must refashion its letters before
it can become menace to US. Until
touched by the breath Of this desirable
reform, it must reraain mosaic of
ideographs and hierogly
phics, bewildering to the merchant, an
obstacle to the diplomat, and the de-
spair of the missionary, Boston Her.
