ROOSEVELT FLIES
 A75,000F Fl. HEIGHT
Remarkable! GreatV! Freddy" Declares on Return to Ground

Minola, l.. l., Sept. 14.-Colonel Roosevelt yesterday tested the new Liberty Motor," with which the United States hopes to attain the war supremacy of the air, and after a flight of half an hour at speed of more than 100 miles an hour, he pro- nounced it great"
 The colonel rode in the observation seat of a big military biplane, driven by H. w. Blakely, an employe of the L. w. F. Company, the maker. Most of the flight was at height of be- tween 5000 and 5000 feet and was for a distance that would have car- ried the aviator and his observer far over the German lines had the start been made from an allied field in France, where Quentin Roosevelt is now serving in an air corps. Quentin got his training at the Mineola school.
 It was the second flight the colonel has made. Four years ago in Kansas he made short flight with the ill., fated HoXey But that was as noth- ing compared to yesterdays flight.
 With Captain and Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock of Westbury and Major Vincent, an army engineer, Colonel Roosevelt arrived at the Mineola army aviation field about 1O:30 o'clock He was driven over to a hangar where Rlakely was tuning up new biplanc one of the first at Mineoa to be equipped with the. Lib erty Motor,' the perfection of which was, announced i1 Washington by Sec retary of War Baker on Wednesday. The colonel was invited to go for a flight and accepted. B1akely pro- posed that he take the machine for test flight first.
 "No,' replied the colonel. No test flight for me- I want to go right away"
 Then he doffed his broad brimmed felt hat, and slipped on helmet with goggles, as we'll as Major Vincent's raincoat He climbed into the ob- servers seat while last inspection of the machine was made. The en- gin started to roar, as helpers held the big machine. Blakely climbed into his seat, waived his hand, and while the hundred or more persons about, including many aviation students cheered, the machine ran for 50 feet and then shot up, climbing at rather steep angle. It circled up to a height of 1000, then 2,0O0, and then 5000 feet and shot off in the direction of Camp Mills, where the Rainbow" division is in camp.

 When it passed over the camp the machine was at an elevation of 5000

CrOnholm Not Now in Office.

Mexico City, Sept. 14.-A report reached here last night that the state department at Washingon had made public correspondence showing that Folke Cronholm, former Swedish charge here, had acted as. an inter mediary fer the German minister Von Eckhardt in a transfer of messages for the German diplomat. Mexican officials said they heard nothing of the report.
 Folke Cronholm was replaced as Swedish charge here on February A last and since that time has held no official position with the Swedish gov ernment, so far as Is known. He was replaced by Carl Gotthard Gylfe An derbers, formerly Swedish consul at Chicago. Cronholm has remained in Mexico City since he was replaced. His successor Anderberg, declared that he knew nothing of the Amer ican state departments disclosure, but declared that he did not believe it to be true.
 Ernesto Garza Perez, sub-secretary in charge of the Mexican foreign of flee. said that he knew nothing con- corning the Washington report and added that if it were true that Cron- holm sent messages for Won F,ckhardt to Germany by way of Sweden since Ia st February he must have sent them as a private individual and therefore they must be subject to censorship.

Once over the camp the machine turned south for five miles and then circled back over the Mineola aviation field. The engine was working perfectly. After circling the field two or three times, Blakeley brought the airplane to the earth with a graceful landing a few yards from the spot where he had started.

 Then the colonel with his friends left for his home in Mineola, after he had shaken hands with a number of the officers on the field The colonel is deeply interested in aviation and when Quentin was a student at Min cola, made several trips here.
 Colonel Roosevelts characteriza- tion of the last developed airplane of the American service as remarkable" is identical with what he had to say of a trip he took in the submarine, Plunger, in 1905, when he was presi- dent The Plunger, then the latest de- of the Holland submersible, of which the German U-boat is de- velopment, was taken to Oyster Bay, where the president went on board and during the ensuing trip remained under the surface for 55 minutes, which. at that time, was regarded as of an achievement in sub marine operation.

GERMAN LANGUAGE
 GOING INTO EXILE
Fast Becoming Unpopular As
 Study at High School

In reviewing the changes in the courses of study at the New Britain High school it is found that the greatest change has not been from the academic department to the trade de- partment or vice versa but that the Important changes have taken place In the languages. Statistics show that French is by far the most popular language; German is rapidly losing its popularity and Spanish is coming to tho front by leaps and bounds.
 Spanish has often been said to be the trade language of the future. The manufacturers of New Britain are already preparing for the post-bellum trade which will be sought with the South American countries. The local manufacturers will need salesmen and the local school boys realize this fact and are preparing for the posi- tions. Two days ago a petition was circulated at the High school and sent to the superintendent of schools . requesting that a class in salesman ship be organized and instruction in salesmanship be give immediately.
 French has ever been a popular language to study in school. Some of the pupils study 1t because it Is said to be the easiest language to mas ter. Others study it for it's beauty and euphony. And the reasons of the other pupils for studying it are varied.
 German is losing it's hold on the minds of the growing generation if the statistics secured at the local High school can be generalized Some pupils study Die deutsche Sprache be- cause of their home interests or re- lationships. Few, if any. study Ger .man for its euphony. The remain : Ing pupils study it because they have to. German is required as an en- trance language into any college Of recognized standing in the country where French is not offered by the candidate.
 The remarkable increase of 12s per cent. in the registration of the Span lsh classes at the local High school has been made over last years record One hundred and fourteen pupils are studying Spanish at the present time The increase has been so much and so rapid that the local schocl com- mittee has considered engaging an- other teacher to assist the Spanish instructor.
 Four hundred and thirty-fve pupils are engaged in the study of French. This Is an increase of 10 per cent over last year. This language Is yet by far the most popular both in the Academic High and in the Vocational High school.
 Although there has been an in- crease in the registration of the High school this year the study of German has become less popular with the pupils. A decrease of five toer cent has been noted despite the fact that here are the stabilizing con- ditions of requiring this language as an entrance language into college and .hae so many pupils take it because of home associations.

 Minister Von Eckhardt seems to be careless in guarding his confidential correspondence, as the instructions sent to him by Foreign Minister Zim- mermann came into the possession of allied governments, and it has been supposed, although never admitted that the Japanese Mexican dispatch was obtained in Mexico.
 Akerhie1m Begged for Secrecy.
 Baron Akerhielm, Swedish charge d'affaires in Washington during the absence of Minister Ekengren, who is taking a vacation, sought to per suade Secretary Lansing last Friday not to make public the statement is- sued by MT Lansing exposing Swed- ems conduct in transmitting unneu- tral information fl om Argentina until he could communicate the intelligence to the Stockholf foreign office. Sec retary Lansing refused to acccde to Baron Akerhielnn's request.
 The Letter.
 The Department of State made public tonight the following transla- tion of the letter from the German minister at Mexico City to Chancellor Won Bethmann Hollweg:
 Imperial Legation, Mexico, to
 His Excellency the Imperial
 Chancellor:
 Herr Folke Cronholm, the
 Swedish Charge d'Affaires here,
 since his arrival here, has not
 disguised his sympathy for Ger
 many. and has entered into close
 relations with this legation. He is the only diplomat through whom
 information from a hostile camp
 can be obtained.
 Moreover, he acts as intermed-
 iary for official diplomatic inter course between this legation and
 your Excellency. In the course of this, he is obliged to go per- sonally each time to the tele- graph office, not seldom quite late at night in order to hand in the telegrams.
 Herr CrOnhOlm was formerly at Picking and at Tokio, and was responsible for the preliminary arrangements which had to be made for the representation of his country in each case. Be- fore he came out here he had been in charge of the consulate general at Hamburg Herr Cron- holm has not got a Swedish but only a Chinese order at present
 I venture to submit to your Fxcellency the advisability of laying before his Majesty the Emperor the name of Herr Cron- holm with a view to the Crown Order of the Second Class being bestowed upon him. It would perhaps be desirable, in order not to excite the enemy's sus- picion, to treat with secrecy the matter of the issue of the pa tents until the end of the war, should the decision be favorable to my suggestion.

Berne Paper Says Country Is on
 Verge Of Starvation

Milan, Sept 14.-The Secolo learns from Vatican sources that the Austrian reply to the Papal peace note has just reached the secretary of state, the sub- stance thereof having been communi- cated in advance some days ago. A separate reply from Germany, which will embody also the views of Turkey and Bulgaria, is expected to arrive at the end of the week.
 Zurich, Sept. 14.-The Nieue Zu- richer Zeitung learns that a number of Hungarian politicians have decided to give public expression to the convic- ton that the time has come for peace negotiations and that the Pope's note is calculated to secure the end of the war. A great meeting is to be held September 23 at Budapest, presided over by Deputy Huszar. The highest digntaries of the church will attend as well as many deputies. Herr Erz- berger will travel to Budapest from Berlin to take part in the demonstra- ton and speak on the possibilit of peace.
 Geneva. Sept. 14.-The F'reie Zei- tung of Berne publishes an article from a high Austrian official, who re- gently travelled through several sec tions of his country, in which the writer states that Austr1a-Hungary cannot hold out the coming winter owing to economic reasons, since both soldiers and civilians would starve
 He gives several reasons. notably the almost complete destruction Of the crops in the richest regions of Hun gary by the cold and the heavy rains, while 300,00O tons of Rumanian cereals could not betransported, owing to lack of rolling stock, which, first of all, is utilized for military purposes. In the meantime, he says, the neces- saries of life are mounting to extraor- dinary prices.

 I should be particularly grate- full to your Excellency if I could be furnished with telegraphic views of the bestowal of the dec Oration, which I strongly recom- mend in view of the circum- stances detailed above.
