REX, WILDWOODS MOST ELIGIBLE
FLIGHTYB BACHELOR MARRIED NOW
Giant Crane Que Breath of Scandal ODer Unexplained Alb

No longer do Wildwood Lake folks
worry about the frequent absences of
Rex, the giant crane.
That there was SOME reason was a
foregone conclusion, but just what it
was didn't develop until yesterday
when Rex. after a weeks departure,
flew over the trees again and settled
upon the bosom of the lake. With
him flew the reason" Plump, grace

ed proudly and with a more or less
proprietary air, beside Rex. Once or
twice the pair rose to fly about the
lake together and with them flew
rumors, thick and rast.
Many a story and near-story has
been printed about this long-legged
fellow Rex. So far as could be learn
ed he was a bachelor and a confirmed
one. Many comely wild duck, swan,
etc, wasted their prettiest blandish-
ments upon Rex. At ever increasing
intervals, however, Rex suddenly left
the lake for parts unknown. His last
stay was longer than usual. And

England's Partial Reply
to Trade Interference
Note Is Not Satisfactory
BY associated Press

Washington, D. c., July "a. Great
Britain's partial reply to the American
note protesting against interference
with neutral mails is regarded by Of
icials as unsatisfactory, principally be-
cause it deals with specific cases in
stead of the principles involved. Of
hcials infer from the communication
that Great Britain is determined to up
hold her attitude which the United
states regards as unwarranted and
without authority in international law.
Acting Secretary Polk said he would
cable Amba ssador Page, acknowledging
receipt of the British communication
and repeating the request for an early
reply to the last American note. He
said the memorandum would be given
out for publication later in the day. 1t
now is before President Wilson.

FRENCH AVIATOR,
OVER BERLIN, But
HURLS NO BOMBS
Drops Proclamations Saying
I'VE Will Not Kill Innocent
Women and Children
CAPTURED IN POLAND
Flies All Night Through Dark
ness: Covers 807 Miles;
Spark Plugs Fail
CAPTURED IN POLAND
By Associated Press

Paris, July "a. Lieutenant Mar
chal of the French aviation corps, last
month left French soil and flew over
the German capital upon which he
dropped proclamations and then con-
tinued his fight intending to land
within the Russian lines He was
forced to descend, however, in Po-
Germans.
The proclamations dropped by Lieu
tenant Marchal on Berlin stated that
though 1t was possible, the aviator re-
trained from bombing the open town
and thus kill the women and inno-
cent children"
Lieutenant Marchal made a circuit
Gus flight of about s07 miles. most of
which he travelled in darkness.
The official communication given
out to-day telling of Aviator Marchal's
achievement said:
"On June 90 at $50 o'clock in the
evening, Sub-Lieutenant Marchal as
cended at Nancy on board a Nieuport
monoplane of a special type, taking
with him a supply of fuel sufficient to
last l hours His mission was to cross
Germany at low altitude in order to
drop proclamations on the capital,
Berlin, and then to descend in Russia.
This audacious flight was accom-
plished point by point and after flying
all night Lieutenant Marchal was COM
PEELED to descend at $50 in the morn
ing of June 81 near Chelm, Russian
Poland, at least 100 kilom etres (62
miles) from the Russian lines. He
was made prisoner.
The proclamation which Lieuten-
ant Marchal dropped on Berlin began
with the words:
Could Bombard Capital
We could lombard the open town
of Berlin and thus will the women and
innocent children but we are content
to throw only the following proclama-
tion.' etc.
at Salzerbach whence he forwarded to
France a postal card giving these de-
tails:
Z" I was made prisoner at o'clock
on the morning of the 21st at Chelm.
The Austrian officers did not believe
that I had accomplished my task but
the proof later arrived and they were
obliged to bow to the reality.
q" 1t was the failure of the spark
plugs which stopped me and I descend
ed to change two of the plugs and to
start the motor again. Unfortunately
it would have been necessary to
change two more plugs and at this
moment I was taken prisoner. You
may judge of my chagrin.'
Aviator Marchal in the course of
his journey covered in continuous
flight distance of about 1900 kilo-
metres (s07 miles), most of which he
travelled during the night"

when the feathered feminine portion
of Wildwood saw the lakes most
eligible catch chummily wing his way
home with a stranger, a breath of
scandal followed. But Wildwood's
folks decided to wait awhile; if the
feathered companion that accompan-
led Rex was a lady, we'll and good;
she were just the sort of a mere
person" at which decent feathered
people could we'll turn up their
beaks, so be it.
Then Rex and his companion hush
ed the breath of scandal. After they
had fished and lunched together, both
flew to opposite parts of the lake.
Soon they returned to common
meetingplace, each carrying a reed
or stick. So the feathered folk of
Wildwood breathed more freely,
preened and got ready to call. If Rex
should suddenly leave the Lake again
on extended uneXplainable absences,
it would not be for his friends, but
for her" to worry. ReX's visits were
a mystery no longer, he had been
married.
