great fortitude, attracting the admir-

friends and acquaintances. He was
popular member of the Y. M. c. A.

GARROS CAPTURE DUE
TO STALLED MOTOR
Famous French Aviator Set Machine
Afrc Before Being Taken Pris-
oner by Germans.

Milan, Via. Paris, May Il, sos a. m.
"A motor which stalled suddenly
while he was 1000 feet in the air
WAS responsible for the capture by
the Germans of Roland Garros, the
famous French aviator, according to
all account of the incident given the
kriegs Zeitung of the Fourth German
army and reproduced in the Corriere
Della Terra here. Garros was flying
over the Ingelmunster-Cour rail-
road when a train passed. He made
a wonderful swoop from a height of
5000 feet until he was 120 feet from
the ground, describing a series of dar-
ing circles over the train and then
dropping a bomb which blew up a
section of track. When sentries
opened fire upon him at close range
he dropped another bomb and rose to
height of 1000 feet.
Suddenly the motor stopped and the
aeroplane swayed dangerously but
Garros volplaned safely down and
made a successful landing. He
sprang out, set fire to the machine and
took rufuge in a cottage. Pursuing
soldiers found him after a long search
crouching in ditch behind a thick
hedge, Asked if he had a COM
psnion, Garros gave his word that he
had not. He explained that. his en-
CINE probably had been struck by a
bullet.

Humphrey said to Herald reported.
II am going to vote for MIR. Rosberg
There is a great deal OF work to be
done this year by the water commits
sion and we should have peace and
harmony in the family. 1t would not
do to have US start off at loggerheads."

Clerk p ). Egan, who asked for 1loni-
nations for chairman. On motion Of
Mr.. Humphrey, Clerk Egan cast one
ballot for Mr.. Rossberg. The latter
assumed the gavel and called for
nominations for clerk. AgaIn Mr..

is being commended by those who

Despite Warning Germans viii Dcs-

Sail as Liner Is to be Torpedoed.
New York, May 1.-The largest
number of transatlantic travellers to
leave New York in single day this
spring had booked passage on six
big liners leaving port today. The
Lusitania alone had aboard nearly
900 cabin passengers and large
number in the steerage. tte
Apparently the notice, published
today over the signature of the i'm
perial German embassy, reminding
passengers that vessels flying the
flags of the allies are liable to de-
struction in the war zone around the
British Isles, had no effect ON the
travelling public. 1t was estimated
that more than 5000 persons had
reserved sainngs today.
Other ships Sailing.
Besides the ,Lusitania, for Liver
pool, ships sailing for European ports
were the British liners Cameronia for
Glasgow, and Canopie for the Med
Danish liner Bergensfjord for Ber-
for Rotterdam, and the American
liner New York for Liverpool.
1910 on Lusitania.
When the Lhsitania sailed she had
aboard 1910 passengers. A number
of the passengers received kilograms
at the pier, signed by names un-
known to them and presumed to be
fictitious, advising them not to sail,
as the liner was to be torpedoed by
submarines. Among the persons
who received such a telegram was
Alfred q. Vanderbilt He destroyed
the message without comment.
Attended by No Risk.
Charles p Sumner, general agent
of the Cunard Line, said that the
Lusitania's voyage was attended by
no risk whatever, as the liner had
o speed of 20 IL knots and was pro-
vided with unusual watertight bulk
heads The boilers of the vessel
are in the middle Of the ship and
next to these, Mr.. Summer pointed
out, are the coal bunkers, thirty
feet deep.
Travel at Own Risk.
Washington, May lin an official
notice published by the German en-
bassy today, Americans were given re-
newed warning that they travel on
ships flying the flags Of Germany's
enemies at their own risk.
Embassy officials in explaining the
publication emphasized that it was in
tended as a warning to travellers and
that the embassy had acted in ac-
cordance with it's general instructions
from the Berlin foreign Office.
No Comment From Bryan.
Secretary Bryan said it would not
be poper for him to comment on the
German embassy's advertisement
The state department, however has
refused to issue passports to Ameri-
cans who intend to visit Europe for
pleasure or recreation alone, but is
sues them to Americans who say they
are compelled to make the voyage on
business

Because the allies are all represent

u. S. ARMY OFFICERS
CRY FOR "MATER|EL'
European War Has Taught
Them What Great Supplies
This Country Needs.

Material" is one of the chief things
which will be emphasized by the War
Department when 1t comes to make
Its recommends tions to Congress this
fall Material means almost anything
in fighting equipment. and is bor-
rowed from the French. However, in
army parlance it has long since be-
come good American.
Just now. the European armies are
crying for material" material" more
material" That is what the American
army officers are crying for. too, al
though their cries are faint and low
compared with the chorus of de-
mands going up from the European
countries and especially from those
that got caught mapping last August
because they had no conception OF
what modern war demanded in re-
gard to supplies.
Garrison To Explain.
Secretary Garrison has been asked
to tell Congress how he thinks the
military system should be revamped
He Is going to do so in character
istcally emphatic style. However. he
will cut his recommendations to suit
the cloth Of what he conceives the
political requirements to be and what
the President conceives them to be.
The lessons of the European war
which have been taught for certain are
few. TNat Is, there are many new
angles of the military art which seem
TO project themselves from the Euro
pean fields but as to most of them it
lie not easy to draw definite conclusions
One conclusion which is impossible of
escape Is that modern war eats up
munitions, artillery, rifles, and kindred
equipment at rates hitherto unknown.
How Is the War Department going to
meet the problem thus raised? What
is Congress going to do about 1t?
Congress May Do Nothing.
Nobody can tell what Congress will
do about It, Some think it will do
nothing. But in any event the War
Department will try to make It plain
that the United States ought to provide
Itself with an ample supply of reserve
ammunition for rifles and machine guns
and field guns of all sort and coast ar
tillery.
Moreover. it will be urged that the
United States must provide itself with
plenty of rifles. machine guns and all
manner of ordnance Congress will be
told the European war has demonstrate
ed the absolute need Of such things, re-
increased.
=, 1t will be pointed out to Congress
that as to shell. shrapnel. and ammuni-
ton generally, this country can on
short notice, make large supplies.
Hence, a, reasonably large reserve sup
ply would fill the bill
But the manufacture Of field guns
