TO CROSS OCEAN.
Ready for Flight Across the
Atlantic.

Atlantic City, n. ALVIN Vani-
man floated the airship Akron, in
which he hopes to cross the Atlantic,
out of its hangar last Monday, and
after circling over the meadows and
bay for nearly an hour, made a safe
landing. After he had the great gas
bag safely slowed in the shed he ex-
pressed himself as satisfied with the
test. Aboard, besides Vaniman, We're
his brother Calvin, chief engineer;
Fred Almas, assistant engineer; Geo
Gourillion, assistant navigator; Wal
ter Guest and Ralph UpsOm of Ak
ron, one of the constructors of the
ship.
While trying out a new guide rope
experiment during the trip a slight
accident occurred, but no disastrous
results followed, one of the side
planes being damaged. Temporary
repairs were made and the airship
sailed on about the bay and returned
to it's hangar.

NIEXICANs MASSACRED.
Indians Ambush Enemies and Shoot
Them Down.

San cisco.-Ambushed by
Juchiteca Indians, 500 Mexican
troops were massacred in the city Of
Juchitan a month ago, according to
Willis S. Hunt, a refugee, who ar
rived here on the transport BufOrd
Women figured conspicuously in
the slaughter, according to reports.
With machetes concealed in their
garments and shielding native war
riors, the women of the Juchiteca
tribe welcomed the Mexican troops
and assisted in their slaughter later.
The massacre was part of a retalia-
tory move to avenge the death of
tribesmen nearly 80 years ago at the
instance of President Diaz.
Juchitan can only be entered
through narrow pass not unlike
Thermopylae. With colors flying
and the regimental band playing, the
Mexican troops marched into the city.
Not one escaped Americans watched
the pass for days but no stragglers
appeared. The men were shot down
and the wounded were despatched
by the women of the city. Juchitan
is a city of about 10000 inhabitants.

serve and practice the principle of
selfsacrifice that made this nation
what it is today. For four long
weary years this nation grOaned for
it's favOrite sons and daughters.
Shall she then so soon forget all
these trials and sacrifices that not
one day in all the year shall be de-
voted to their memories? Not for
the sake of the dead-but for the
sake of the unborn generations yet
to be.
If, then, this day is set apart by
common consent of the nation for the
perpetuation of a sense of gratitude
for sacrifice on the field of battle,
what should be your attitude and
mine towards this day? Can it
mean sacrifice to us when We disre-
gard the sacredness of the day?
When from selfishness or from care
lessness we devote the day to selfish
ends?
Friends, this is more than an in
dividual matter. 1t is a nations
conscience. When we fail to keep
this day we are disregaTding the plea
of them that watch over the destinies
of our Great Republic, of those who
endeavor to promote the highest ma
tional ideals and holiest traditions.
1t is my hope that | shall live to see
the time when this day shall be truly
a day of rest and national reverence
When it shall be a day of remem-
brance of sacrifices made by the SOL
diers in all our wars-When it shall
be a day of patriotic devotion to hte
highest principles of American Ma
tiOnal Integrity.
