Lieutenant Geiger and Five Helpers
Ducked in the Potomac
River.
HYDRoAERoPLANE IN USE

A bad ducking and a narrow escape
for Lieut.. Harold Geiger and FIVE enlist.
ed men was the result Of the first at
plane at the new camp at the War COL
lege.
The bulky machine, equipped with three
pontoons, was pushed down the slide to
the water with some difficulty. The de-
scent proved too steep at the end. with
the result that the machine tipped with
with Lieut.. Geiger and Sargt Hart
mann in the seats. BY quick jump, the
aviators avoided being entangled and
dragged down by the wires, and several
enlisted men quickly dived into the water
and righted the machine.
Nothing daunted, the men pulled the
aeroplane out Of the water and launchco
it again with better success. Lieut..
Geiger took the seat alone, and spun
away over the water at a speed that
made motor boats look helpless. Present
ly he arose from the water. and after
dipping like a gull several times head
ed on down the river at an elevation Of
about 100 feet.
Makes Good Landing.
He returned to within a hundred yards
of the hangar and made good land
ing on the water, alter winch the ma
chine was towed in by a launch.
The Wright aeroplane. which is flown
by Lieut.. Rockwell. reached the camp
yesterday afternoon in tow of an automo-
bile. and was placed in the hangar. II
will be equipped with pontoons and
flown to-day.
Although everything has not gone
smoothly. the officers are greatly encour-
aged. They say that flying over water
is just as easy as land aviation, save
that the machine is not quite as sensi-
tive, because OF the weight of the pom
toons. There is also quite n knack IN
leaving the water. By holding down the
control, the machine may be kept on
the water. and is capable Of a speed of
about fifty miles an hour as a winged
boat.
1t is understood that the army Is to
have built floating hangar, lis feet
long and a little more than fifty feet
broad. The structure could be trans
ported by a tug to any point on the
Potomac or along the coast. where ex-
periments were practicable.

Two important Anniversaries.


To the editor of The Gate City:
We are approaching the aniversar-
les of two very notable birthdays:
February 18th, Lincoln's birthday.
February 22nd, Washington's birth
day.
1t is my privilege as patriotic in
structor appointed by the Grand
Army of the Republic, to call the at
tention of the superintendent of pub
lie schools and also the parochial
schools, to celebrate if possible, these
birthday anniversaries.
The Grand Army of the Republic Is
DESTROYS of implanting a pure patriot
ism in the minds and hearts of the
children OF our land until the heart
throb of our country is shown by the
glorious ensign of our country from
the school houses of the state; an6
is also DESTROYS of intoxicating the
high ideals of human brotherhood.
The birthday anniversaries of these
great men, Washington and Lincoln
should be celebrated in some way IL
all the schools, public and parochial
Where speakers are requested, the,
will be furnished on application.
Respectfully yours,

AID OFFERED
TO MILL WORKERS
American Federation of Labor Extends
Invitation for Strikers to Join
Union.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Aid was
offered the Lawrence strikers today
by the American Federation of Labor
Secretary Morrison of the federation
extended an invitation for the mill
workers to join the ranks of organic
ed labor and declared that the feder-
alton was always ready and willing
to assist wage workers, organized or
unorganized, to secure improved con-
ditions." Morrison attributed the
strike to lack of leadership and wis
dom on the part of the workers and
declared that such conditions of UNI
rest, suffering and misery, were
closely related to non-unionism."
Where a strike occurs by mem
bers of a trades union that has been
organized, the strike is always of a
peaceful nature" said Morrison. Il
certainly hope that the Lawrence
workers will become thoroughly or.
ganized and affiliated with the United
Textile Workers of America whose
numbers now reach the 100000 mark.
IF they do so their ultimate sue
cess in securing improved conditions
is assured. The strike is the direct
result of the refusal of the manufac-
turers to permit their employees to
organize and cannot be expected to
be carried on In peaceful and or.
DERBY manner"
