San Francisco, Cal. Dec. Il.-Miss Katherine Stinson, Hot Springs avia- tr1x, who started from San Diego at 7:S1 a. m. today in a non stop flight to San Francisco, reached her desti- nation at 4.39 D. m. today. She was the first person to pilot an aeroplane over the Tehachapi mountains on a non stop flight.
 The distance between San Diego and San Francisco in an air line is 46l miles
 The distance Miss Stinson travelled was unofficially announced at $50 miles, which breaks the non stop flight record established Nov. l9, 1916, by Miss Ruth Law, who flew from Chicago to Hornell, New York, dis tance of 512 and one eighth miles. Miss Law was compelled to alight at Hornell by engine trouble It was said by officials of the Pacific Aero club that an official check could not possibly reduce the distance travelled by Miss Stinson by more than ten miles.
 Miss Stinson had been in the air nine hours and when she alighted, she showed the tremendous strain under which she had labored. Miss Stinson landed at the Presidio mili- tary reservation, by special army per mission.

SENATOR REED URGED MILITARY TRAINING FOR YOUTHS BE-
 TWEEN AGES OF IS AND 2t

Washington, Dec. 11.-Warning that the United States must prepare tc | assume further burdens to win the war was given today in the senate l by Senator Reed in vigorously oppos ing as a trust scheme the Webb ex- port combination bill which President
 Wilson in his recent address urged congress to enact.
 Declaring that congress should con- centrate upon great war problems and defer consideration of such legisla- tion as the export trade measure, the Missouri senator said with Russia out of the war and Rumania "also gone," the enemy numerically, is now su- perior in man power.
 Although an opponent of army con- scription, Senator Reed predicted that
 new draft levies probably would be necessary and urged military training for youths between Is and 21 for coast defense work. Invasion of America, he asserted, was not beyond the realms of impossibilities should other allied powers fall behind Russia, Flu mania and Serbia.
 The Webb bill was denounced by Senator Reed as destructive of the sherman antitrust law at behest of trusts aHd-rmonopolies.
 Senator CummiIs, of Iowa, also op- posed the bill as virtual repeal of foreign trade combine provisions of the Sherman law. Defending the measure where Senator Pomerine, of Ohio, who. has it in charge and Sen ator Townsend, of Michigan. Debate was not concluded and opposition
 threatened to interfere with the lead CTS plan to pass 1t before the holiday recess.

New York, Dec 1l.-Along the en- tire western front from the north to the Adriatic sea artillery duels of great magnitude are being foug1t which doubtless are the forerunners Of the expected great offensive the Teutonic allies have in view before the American troops can reach the battle fronts in great numbers.
 On the Ipres and Arras fronts held by the British on various sectors eastward from St Quentin to Alsace Tn the hill country bordering the Ital- ian plains and at points along the Pfave river the big guns are in opera tion.
 On the British front huge numbers or aeroplanes are continually winging their way over the lines, engaged in Battles in the air, or searching out points where troops are being con centrated. The only infantry activity taking place on any of the fronts is in the nature of raiding operations. The Teutons daily continue to force by large number their superior fonces on all fronts. In the rush of troops and munitions to the theatre in which the British are operating one train Is reported to have collided with another, resulted in great explosion in which several hundred soldiers were killed.
 Between the Brenta and Piave where the Austrians Monday captured a position in the Caposile region but later were driven out with heavy losses.
 In Russia the counter revolutionary movement headed by General Kale- dimes Is growing in strength. Realiz- ing the seriousness of the situation. considerable forces of troops from the Russian front are being rushed from the trenches to give battle to Kale- dimes "Cossacks."
 The situation in Moscow. which is held by the Bolsheviki is said to be serious. Unofficial advices say street fighting already has occurred there and that the garrison is showing signs of mutiny against the Bolshevik1 who have placed machine guns in the streets to combat threatened upris- ing.
 Starvation is menacing the populace of the city.
