The Situation As Ii Exists
After the stress and struggle OF the
day were over. and the last vote had
been counted the situation in the tY-
precedeDted strife between the Prexi-
dent and a part OF Congress looked
like this.
The Presidents supporters declared
he had won a victory: that the House
had voted to support him in his de-
mapd that Americans be allowed to
tide unmolested on armed merchant
ships Of belligerent nations. and that
the House had shown that the coun-
try was behind the President.
The supporters of proposals to keep
Americans off armed ships declared
that the administration supporters had
evaded the issue. that the vote in the
House were in no way settlement Of
the question; and that the attitude Of
Congress was still in doubt becauae
the merits OF the proposal had nor
been voted upon directly.
In a debate which for excitement
and bitterness fell somewhat short o1
what had been expected, the Hou3e

DELOYD THOMPSON,
AVIATOR All FAIR.
-

Visitors to the Louisiana State Fair
this year, Nov 1-6, will have the priv
i,age of seeing one Of the worlds fore
ust ayiators, DeLoyd Thompson, &c
through his repertoire of marvellous
2eral stunts. Thompson's first per
f9rmance is scheduled for Friday, Nov,
3, and his second appearance IS an
nounced for Sunday, Nov. 5. In honor
CT the famous aviator, one OF these
days, Friday, Is designated Thompson
Day, and the other, Sunday, is deslg'
mated Aviation Day.
1t is doubtful if there IS an aviator
in the world who will take more dare
devil chances than Thompson. His
wonderful performances cause specta'
tors to gaze in almost GREATNESS
amazement. At tremendous altitude,
when his machine looks like a mere
speck in the air, he loops-the-loop, does
the spiral glide, and goes through other
wonderful stunts with apparently as
much ease and composure as an or
binary man would in a gymnasium.
Thompson has been among the star
attractions at the Louisiana State
Fair the past two years, and each year
he has new thrills In his repertoire.
Since performing here the last time he
has gained much additional fame by
fv;ng at night over New York, and
thon later over the nations capitol and
Washington's monument during a pre-
p0redness parade.
