BY JOHN j. DAILY.

b WASHINGTON, April 27.-When
/ Lieut.. John I. Towers, tuned" up his
hydro-aeroplane and made a recon-
noftering trip of the city of Vera Cruz
on Sunday, he wrote the first chap
ter in the history of American aerial
warfare.
If the siege of Vera Cruz accomplish
es nothing more, it has demonstrated
the value of aeronautical training in
the army and navy, said officials of
both these services today.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels ex-
pressed the highest admiration for the
pluck and gallantry" of the naval
aviator. According to the report re-
ceived from the navy department from
Admiral Fletcher, the flight not only
demonstrated the value of an aero
plane in scouting, but 1t brought relief
to those who were concerned for the
safety of Americans in Mexico City. 1t
munication between Vera Cruz and
destroyed.
Sees Railroad Intact.
Lieut. Towers flight proved this.
From height of 5000 feet the avia-
tor, with the help of bright Mexican
sun and strong glasses, was enabled to
see far into the country. He saw I'M
broken thin threads of rails leading to-
ward the capital. Only the railway in
the immediate vicinity and outskirts
of Vera Cruz had been destroyed by
the Mexicans, Lieut.. Towers report
ed.
The old idea that an aviator in time
of war would have to fly so high that
his observations would be impractical
BILE was disproved by the flight, it was
pointed out by Secretary Daniels.
Sees Seven Soldiers.
The secretary learned that even the
smallest detail pertaining to Mexico's
land force movements were discern
able by the aviator. At Soledad, TWEEN
ty-four miles from Vera Cruz, it was
thought that 5000 troops under Gen
eral Mas were concentrated hut
Lieut. Towers saw only seven soldiers
with the aid of his powerful binocu-
lars.
During his flight Lieut. Towers
maintained speed of fifty-eight
miles an hour. This enabled him to
cover enough territory to report that
the Mexican federal troops have fled

PILOTS WIN FIRST
TINE THIS YEAR
Robinsens Fall Before Tail
Enders by 1875 Score in
Tight Go.

The Pilot nine broke into the win
column, Saturday night, at the eX-
pense of the Robinson outfit. The
score was 1875. Both twirlers did
some tight work, but Underwood, of
the auto-makers, had the best of the
argument over Newly, of the west
end bunch.
The Pilot nine started in the first
round as if they meant to take the
game, annexing four runs, and man
aged to keep their score climbing in
the two succeeding frames by chalk
ing up trio of counters each inning.
These counts were largely due to the
consistent clouting of Porter. who an
nexed three bingles in four trips to the
pan.
The best the Founders could do in
these rounds were a quintet of COM
pete circuits. Robinsons secured but
eight hits during the game, three of
them by Creager. Lineup and score:

Ends ID to 10.

The Wayne Works nine won a
close one from the Pilot outfit, Satur-

WAR AGAINST FLY

Reasons for the declaration of
war against the fly are set forth
in the first paragraph of the circu-
lar issued through the schools of
the city. Following this are meth
DDS of determination. The reasons
outlined in the declaration are:
Files are pest, a nuisance, a
menace. They carry most all kinds
of disease germs. Typhoid and tu-
berculosis germs are found in fly
specks, and on their feet and legs.
They are unclean, unhealthful. and
perform no useful service. They
are one of the baby's worst en-
emies"

Christmas, Ube Dap of all Daps.

Tomorrow is the day of all days. On that day,
nearly two thousand years ago. was given to the
world new code, which, if faithfully followed will
wipe out all the ills of which we complain A code
that would abolish poverty, suffering and want;
empty prisons and almshouses, cloth and feed the
unfortunate and the orphan, turn hatred to love-
enmity to friendship. and bring peace on earth and
to man good will. We have not progressed in two
thousand years except along the line of the teaching
of Him who came that day-the greatest gift the
world ever has ever can know We have no great
er figures in the realm of thought than the world had
then no greater statesmen, greater philosophers
no greater artists, greater engineers no greater
generals We have progressed only in commercial
sm and advanced only in the softening of the hearts
of men. Great gains have been made but much still
remains, and each and all of can hasten the dawn
of the day of complete and universal Justice by being
