BRUSSELS, July 16. 1913.
NJ Brindejonc DIES Moulinais. the
French aviator. recently concluded the
longest journey by air yet recorded.
His wonderful tour Of 5000 miles be-
gan and ended at Paris: he visited Ber-
in, Warsaw. ST. Petersburg, Stockholm.
Copenhagen and The Hague. The
journey was triumphantly successfui
throughout and NJ. Brindejonc des
MouIinais was accorded almost a ma
tional welcome on his return to his ma
tive land. He is to be decorated with
the Legion of Honor-and he is not yet
twenty-one years old. In describing his
Journey NJ des Moulinais says:
The journey which I have just made
may be regarded from several points or
view. equal In their interest II may. be
considered as an experiment on large
scale which has tested the aeroplane i'm
all weathers. i'm all conditions and over
all sorts of country 1t has thus
brought out the advantages and the
drawbacks of this method OF travel.
and has also thrown into relief i'm
prOvements which are stlll lacking In
the machine.
Already extended journeys may be
made by aeroplane. l have helped TO
demonstrate that. But there IL Sun
becomes a really comfortable vehicle
in which one does not get tired.
"A journey Of 5000 miles put to
stern test the solidity. OF an aeroplane
and its powers of resisting bad
weather. My machine came back from
its flight round northern Europe look
ing 80 clean and pvesentable that
frien,i OF mine cried, But you have
changed your canvas during the jour
ney; ii looks quite new" l can only
conclude that i'm this respect enormous
progress has been made.
MY flight from Paris to Berlin wor-
ried me greatly. for all my nerves, kept
at high tension for several hours, were
overwrought. The rest OF the journey.
however. though sometimes just as diff
hcult caused me no fatigue at all. for

HARD TO GET RECRUITS
FOR THE BRITISH ARMY
Military Critic Blames Government
for Failure to Take
Action.
reign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
:. LONDON, July 10. 1918.
The work of obtaining recruits for the
British army is becoming harder every
day. The military correspondent of the
Times says:
Recruiting for all categories of our
armed forces at home is at present bad
and demands the immediate attention of
the government. All parts of the army
are much below establishment and the
deficits reported early in the year have
not only not been made good, but have
steadily increased. The regulars at home
are more than 5000 under strength, or
more than 600 worse off than they were
a year ago, while the special. reserve and
territoriais continue to fall in numbers
without a single measure being proposed
to mend matters. The apathy of the con-
stituted authorities in presence. of this
situation deserves censure, for even If the
state OF the territorial force is past pray
ing for except by resort to compulsion,
the regulars and the special reserve must
be recruited by voluntary means and IL
the regulars cannot find more recruits we
shall be compelled to resort to bounties
thereby prejudicing our finances and de-
plotting the reserve.
THE continued prosperity Of trade, the
ceaSeless activity Of emigration agencies
and the increased recruiting for the navy.
especially for. the marines. are the three
main causes OF this unsatisfactory situa-
ton. The activity OF the labor employ
ment bureaus Is also a contributing cause
to the shortage Of recruits. But 1t should
be obvious that when recruiting service
fails to give the results expected of il
more money and more energy should be
expended upon it. and there is no symp-
tom that such action has been taken or is
intended. Our recruiters and recruiting
agents are far too few, and there is not.
sufficient power In the machinery to give
the results which We desire and must OBJ
tain. Last. and most important OF all.
the attractions of a military career are at
present insufficient to tempt the kind Of
men we need to enlist, and we must at
tack the difficulty from ALL sides to make
sure Of success in overcoming it," .

TART REPLY TO BRITTEN.
Pensacolians Claim Necessity TO
Navy Yards in the South.

Because Representative Fred Britten Of
Illinois stated in a recent interview that
he believes southern navy yards should
be discontinued and the construction and
repair work centralized In the four yards
on the north Atlantic coast, the Pensa-
cola Commercial Association has written
to Mr.. Brftten letter taking him to task
in exceedingly bitter language:
This coast wants no favors at govern
ment expense. but 1t wants fair consid-
Grafton" says the letter land dislikes
remarks like yours. 1t has been the FASH
ion with certain factions to belittle the
southern navy yards and to prove by
wonderful logic that all naval activities
should be centralized between Norfolk
and Portland. Me-.
The Pensacola Commercial Association
points out that the navy's fighting ground
win be In the gulf Of Mexico and the
Caribbean sea. and that the southern
navy yard will be Of prime necessity in
time Of war. ----.----

POTATO CROP THREATENED.
Department of Agriculture Issues
Warning Against Tuber Moth.

Warning against pest that threat
ems every dinner table in the land was
issued today by the Department of Agri-
culture against the potato tubert moth,
which is working havoc with the potato
crop in numerous parts of the country,
and whose ravages threaten to prevent
the planting Of the vegetable in many
places for the winter supply. The pest
is especially prevalent in California and
Texas. the department reports and
through shipments of early potatoes it
is being introduced broadcast throughout
the United States.
Experts of the bureau of entomology
urge growers to look carefully over po-
tatoes they dig and destroy every potato
and vine that shows the slightest signs
Of the moth. Special attention. they add.
should be given to the seed potatoes on
which the subsequent crop depends. Flu
migation with carbon bisulphide is recon-
mended.
The scientists utter warning against
careless methods in planting and bar
vesting potatoes, and declare unless pro-
tective and defensive measures are adopt
ed at once there will be a serious reduc-
ton of the potato CROP"

HOME RULE INSPIRING
TO THE LIBERAL PARTY
John Redmond Discusses Situation in
England and Scot
land.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

PLYMOUTH, England. July 16. 1913
John Redmond spoke at meeting held
In the Guildhall here under the auspices
of the Devon and Cornwall Liberal Fed
Grafton. He said that he had recently
had the pleasure of meeting large masses
of people in the north of England and in
Scotland, and he was glad to know that
there and everywhere else home rule
united and inspired the liberal party as
perhaps no other issue of the present mo-
ment did. For the second time in this
parliament a home rule bill had passed
the house Of commons by a comfortable
majority of British members, leaving the
Irish members out Of the question alto
gether. There was a British majority Of
forty-five and the voice Of Ireland was
declared by majority of sixty-four
Let them take the votes Of Ulster alone
and reject the votes of the, rest of Ire
land, and they would find that the bill
was carried by two votes.
Unionist policy with regard to Ireland.
Mr.. Redmond went on, was that things
should remain as they were-only more
30. They had had 113 years Of a So
called union. and on their opponents own
showing Ireland today was divided into
two countries separated by purely Sec
tartan. divisions. The policy Of their op-
ponents was to perpetuate that state of
things. He believed that home rule for
Ireland would be the end fthe sectarian
bitterness and strife that had made the
country byword throughout the world.
Mr.. Redmond proceeded to deal with
the history Of the railway question in
ireland from 1896, and said that. while it
would be foolish for him to commit him.
self to state railways. he would saw that
the railway question was one that an
Irish parliament would instantly grapple
with. In, settling that problem there
might be conflict Of interest between Bel

side and the exposure and hunting Of

has been heard of the mantelpieces or the
operators. This particular trick has been
done before, however.
Some eight years ago. when the Gale
DOMAIN Hotel, in the Adelphi. had given
up business, some men were seen at work
on one of the fine, old Adams mantel-
pieces there. They were seen. fortunate
ly enough, by a member of George Ber-
nard Shaw's household, across the way
who conveyed the news to the police on
the chance that something might be
wrong. The men escaped, but their bar
row was captured. The craze for old
mantelpieces and the enormous rise in
their value will. doubtless, make mantel-
piece snatching more and more one Of
the standard forms of theft.
