TOR the departure of the first areo
squadron Of the United States army,
which tomorrow morning will fly
from its temporary home to it's new
station at San Antonio, Texas. The
fight originally was scheduled to

weather and the fact that everything
is in readiness at San Antonio, caused
the change in the plans. Six aero
plones will make the journey.
The aerial journey will be made

encountered in actual warfare as pos
sible. The distance to be covered is
$50 miles. Stops will be made at
these points in Texas: Wichita
Falls, Bowie, Decatur, Fort Worth,
Cleburne, Hillsboro, Waco, George
town, Austin and possibly at Granger
and Temple.
The flight is intended to give line
on just how army aviators may be
expected to work during a war. 1t

ability of the Tiers to follow a pre-

the cause of the Iowa senator
Mr.. Call made the statement lust
before his departure today for South

Call said that he expected to meet
s. D. Riniker, of Rock Rapids. and
Senator Leslie E. Francis. of Spirit

The campaign fund being raised bv
the friends of the Iowa senator will
be used to push his cause between
now and the date of the national con-
vention
Mr.. Call said that in Des Moines
alone $4,000 or $4,000. would be
raised and that the campaign man
agement proposed to enter all coun-
ties of the state. creating the nee
essary funds. The announcement
that Linn county had raised a fund
of $1,000 for the senator was made
today.

the fund had not been prorated

told by the Athens correspondent OF

now in the Near East, and discuss the
military situation with him.
The Greek attitude appears to be
growing less uncompromising with
regard to the course Greece should
take in case the Allied forces in Ser
bia and forced back into Greek ter
ritory. In connection with the inter
national situation as regards Greece,
there have been recent reports of
anti-dynastic demonstrations at Pat

From various conflicting reports
which reached public, the following
apparently may be deducted as facts:
The Bulgarians have taken l<ru-
sevo and are six miles west of Per-
lepe. Thus the southern Serbian army
and its Franco-British allies are con
fronted with the imminent peril of
an outflanking movement. Tetovo is
in the hands of the Bulgarians. One
report asserts that the pass has been
forced. 1t seems certain that the de-
tenders at least are threatened so
seriously that their position may soon
be untenable. With Krusevo and Ba-
buna in the hands of the invaders the
fate of Perlepe would be sealed and
the road to Monastir opened.
