One ef the Faithful Few Rewarded

Editor j. Clyde Nelson, of the
Sharpsburg World, after % years
at the helm, being the founder
and sole publisher of the paper
during all of these years, has sew
cred his connection with the pa
per and in the last issue publish
es a beautiful valedictory. The
paper will most likely be contin-
ued by some other person. We
hope the promotion of Mr.. Mel
son to be postmaster will not be
instrumental in the town losing
the valuable "World". The
press of the State regrets to lose
Mr.. Nelson from the newspaper
field, but is glad TO know that in
his doing so, he is provided with
something at least more remuner.
alive than publishing a local pa
per in a small town.

OREGON FIR TREE USED
FOR GIANT FLAGPOLE

The giant Oregon fir tree, which
has been shaped 10 make the largest
flag pole in the world, has been raised
at the exposition grounds. Owing TO
its great weight and length, the pole
was extremely difficult TO handle, and
the work Of getting it into an upright
position has aroused as much interest
as any other single construction fea-
ture at the exposition.
The pole stands 222 feet above the
ground and the gilded star at its top
rises 10 feet higher Ten feet of the
butt is set into solid block OF re-
enforced concrete weighing 200 tons,
which will be OF sufficient bulk TO hold
the pole upright against the highest
winds without the assistance OF guy
ropes or other supports. The hagpole
itself weighs 35 tons, the log from
which II was trimmed having
weighed so tons. Three derricks were
required 10 erect the pole. q
The pole was donated to the exposi-
ton by the citizens OF Astoria. Ore,
and was floated down the coast 70 the
exposition grounds more than year
ago. II will carry great American
flag as feet long, also donated by the
citizens Of Astoria.-San Francisco

ARMY FLYING
Is DEPENDING
ON HAY BILL
1t Has Been Passed by House
and Favorably Reported by
the Senate
60 OFFICERS AND 26O
MEN FOR AVIATION CORPS
Also Provides Increased Pay for
Those Who Hazard Their
Lives in Air

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June ga
Aviation is at last being recognized
by the United States Army, as the
result OF the Hay bill, which has al
ready passed the house of repre-
sentatives and been favorably re-
ported To the senate by the commit.
tee on military affairs. This bill,
hacked by a $25O.0OO appropriation,
which was made last month, gives
the army signal corps, commanded
by Brib-Gen. George Z. Scriven, an
opportunity TO go ahead with the work
which has been planned in the past.
At the present time the army aYia-
ton corps, which is under the direc-
ton Of Col. Samuel Reber, though a
compact and essentially efficient body
and capable Of giving a maximum
amount, Of service with a minimum
OF equipment, is infinitesimal as com
pared with the like organizations of
other frst-class powers. In fact il is
Only through the bill of Congressman
James Hay, of Virginia, that it has
teen given an official status in the
aviation section OF the signal corps.
1t is safe to say that from this begin
ming there will be results which will
show exceptional efficiency for the
money expended.
The United States has nothing in
the line OF fighting apparatus for use
in the air, with the exception of aero
planes; not a single dirigible balloon
or other airship which might be used
for offensive work. It's fleet OF aero
planes, which is divided into four sec
lions, is located at Galveston, Tex
San Diego. Cal. and in the Hawaiian
and Philippine Islands. and used sole

THREE OF HIS SIX SONS

Another is About to do so, and

BERLIN, June 24-That Emperor
William did not readily sanction the
morganatic marriage Of his son,
Prince Oscar, is certain in the light
OF the attitude he has taken up in
the past toward lovesick sons. All
things considered ii is surprising that
the Hohenzollerns are such happy
family.
There has been trouble over all
three marriages already celebrated;
now comes the news Of Oscars mes
alliance, while there is a constant
fear that Adalbert his majesty s
roaming naval son, will one day pro
vide an unpleasant surprise.
Back in 1905, when the crown
prince became betrothed to the dar-
ing Franco-Russian duchess of Neck
lenburg Schwerin, a human contradic-
ton OF everything Teutonic, the mar
riage had to be postponed twice ow-
ing to trouble between the emperor
and the brides mother, who, even to-
day, makes no secret OF her hatred
OF Prussians. In his youthful days
the heir TO the throne had been be-
trothed (by rumor) TO half dozen
actresses and commoners' daughters.
The came the union, always an
unhappy one, of Prince Eitel Fritz.
His bride. the immensely wealthy
Duchess Sophie of Oldenburg, consid-
cred his senior. had long been in love
with her fathers aide-de-camp, a pen
niless count This was so well known
that the emperor long tried TO dis
sande his son. A recent report that
the two we're contemplating a divorce
was denied, but they live a life OF
virtual separation.
Thirdly the romance of Prince Au-
gust Wilhelm threatened to assume a
serious aspect While a student at
Bonn he fell inIove with Princess

steiH. He was told to look to his

The army force or aeroplanes, with
the exception of those needed in
Hawaii and the Philippines. has been
kept on the border between Texas
and Mexico, though modified and in
such shape that on 20 minutes notice
they might be sent TO any point at
which their services would be needed.
Under the Hay bill the aviation
section will consist OF not over sixty
commissioned line officers, with rank
below that OF captain. as well as 26O
enlisted men. These shall be detailed
for periods Of four years The OH

OF age, hut they shall not be assigned
10 such service against their will.
II is further provided on account
OF the extremely hazardous character
Of the service, that each aviation
student wher he shall commence 70

pay, and there is increased pay for
the enlisted men, too.

At the present time the qualiflca-
ton for positions as military aviators
are severe. as the applicant must not
only be able to hahdle an aeroplane
under any and all conditions, but
must also have shown himself as es-
pecially efficient as military OBJ
