from experience in actual service.
Considered Country Of Miracles.
America is considered in France as
a country of miracles in the domain of
industry he said, as to the co-opera
ton of the United States in military
aviation. Public opinion imagines
that this new country is able to make
factories spring from the ground in a
few days. 1t imagines that you will
be able to furnish in very short time
a considerable aerial fleet that will
carry terror into the enemy's country
and will give us absolutely the mastery
Of the air If that opinion is presump-
tuous, | think myself that we may eX-
pect great events from the United
States in aviation.
1T is by bringing to bear it's effort
lin air warfare, in the first place that
the great republic can give an almost
immediate cooperation, bringing to
France material aid that would make
itself felt quickly upon the enemy"
Monsieur Flandin added, "If you send
us 500 aviators with an adequate pro-
portionate equipment. you would bring
us, outside of the moral support. an
aid that would weigh far more heavily

lit is From the Air This Country
Will Strike Heavy Blow Against
Enemy" Flandin Tells Reporter

PARIS, June 13.-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press. Monsieur
Pierre Etienne Flandin, head of the
1nterallied Aeronautic Service in
France, expects great things from the
cooperation of the United States in
military aviation.
1T is from the air. he said, that
the great republic car strike the blow
that will be the most quickly felt by
the enemy. Five thousand American
aviators, bringing with them their
cwn equipment in machines, would
weigh more heavily the balance Of the
war just now than 5000 infantrymen or
5000 artillerymen with their equip
ment in arms and munitions
! Former Aviator Himself.
Monsieur Flandin is the man with
whom America will treat regarding
the cooperation of the flying corps of
the two armies. He was an aviator
himself before the war. holding a IL
oense from the Aero club dated 1912.
and served with the flying corps at
the front in Belgium during the first
months of the war. Since then he has
worked necessarily for the develop
ment of the air service and when Mon
sieur Daniel Vincent, an aviator him
self, was made under secretary of war
for aviation, he sought the aid of M.
Flandin's energy and experience to

Government AND
STATE TO UNITE
IN BANK INQUIRY

CHICAGO, July 2. Two courts
and the states attorney office today
began an Investigation of the affairs
OF Graham & Sons, one of the oldest
private banks in the city which closed
its doors Friday. 4 receiver ap-
pointed by the United States district
court is in charge of the institution.
Being a private bank, no reports
we're issued, but unofficial statements
by those connected with the concern,
placed the assets at $6,000,000. liabili
ties at $5,0c0,000. and deposits at
81 900, 900.
County Money in Bank
The state circuit court issued sub
poenas for an inquiry today into what
has become of $143, 900 of county
money on deposit in the bank.
Maclay Hoyne, states attorney,
whose assistants and deputies broke
down the door of the bank after it
closed yesterday, announced that all
documents seized would be turned
over to the United States court, but
that his Office would continue to
watch for evidence which might give
basis for grand jury action.
Optimistic opinions concerning the
possible Strengthening out of the
banks affairs came from several
sources. James G. Condor. attorney
Tor the Chicago Title & Trust COM
pany, receiver. announced that pre-
liminary investigation indicated that
assets would exceed liabilities by per
haps 100000
Bank is Solvent
George NJ. Reynolds, banker, was
quoted as saying that figures he had
seen would indicate that the bank
was solvent" There were about
$1,000 depositors, many of whom we're
foreigners who conducted small shops
on the west side.
The Graham bank was regarded as
one of the strongest private institu-
tons in the state. Andrew ]. Graham,
it's founder, died a year ago, and his
two sons succeeded to the manage
ment Since that time bankers said,
the non-liquid nature of the bank
assets, chiefly paper on west side real
estate, and of late, heavy with drawals
of cash due to war investments and
charities, had conspired to make the
institutions position difficult. 1t was
said that the Graham family had made
strong efforts to save the bank.

their camp in order, a task which
they accomplished with the aid of a
few score of amazed and seemingly
paralyzed German prisoners, most of
whom refused to believe that Ameri
cans actually had arrived to fight
their countrymen.
The general commanding the troops
remained aboard his transport until
the middle of the morning and then
proceeded to his make-shift quarters
In the camp occupied by his men. He
established quarters for the time be-
ing in great wooden shack construct
ed long before for other troops. He
and his staff sat down to genuine
American luncheon, to which the gen.
eral invited the correspondents. The
rustic inhabitants peered in from the
nearby road as they ate.
The Admiral in command of the
American transports and their escorts
after disposing of the first rush of
routine business abandoned his flag
ship, received the correspondents and
gave them description of the voyage.
He said it was broken only by Incl
dents which had been cabled to Wash
ington and which he desired to be
given out there, if at all. His officers
and the army officers were almost
boyishly jubilant that no submarines
had succeeded in harming any of the
transports.
The first American transports to
reach port arrived during the night.
and because of the late hour and the
unexpected selection of this port as
the scene of the Decentralization. they
were seen by few.
In the grey of the early dawn the
vessels could be seen nearly mile
down the harbor preceded by battle
ship surrounded on every side by de-
stroyers. AS the wind shifted the
United States flags floating on the top
masts whipped in the breeze, became
visible and a great cry of welcome
surged the crowd.
AS the vessels neared the quay.
bugles sounded and the soldiers and
sailors who had been along the rail
in such numbers that the vessel wav-
ered turned and saluted the flag The
crowd stood silent as though In awe.
Hats were removed as strains of
America" peeled out. The people
joined in a tremendous chorus of en-
thusiastic welcome as a marning sa-
lutte to the colors was completed. By
companies I'll soldiers started for
camp, two L 5 from town where
they are to remain for the present
training and in preparations for or
ders transferring them to the front
The townspeople cheered each COM
pany as it passed even each van and
truck and then in their enthusiasm,
forgetful of the heat trudged to the
camp eager not to miss the slightest
detail of the American camp.

COUNTY BUYS
SMITH FARM.
FOR $4,000

At a meeting of county council and
the county commissioners this after
noon, an appropriation of $4,000 was
made for the purpose of obtaining the
Smith farm, on the Liberty pike, south
of the city to be used as hospital for
the treatment of tuberculosis.
The appropriation made by the coun-
Gill; however, does not mean that the
taxpayers of the county will be forced
to purchase the farm as the entire
amount will be given by David Esteb.
The appropriation was made to legal
ize the condemnation proceedings
against the farm and to give the coun-
ty the right to take over the land and
buildings.
In taking over the farm, the county
enters into an agreement with the
estate of David Esteb to pay to the
estate four percent of the original pur
chase price as long as Mr.. Esteb and
his wife live.
One year after the death of Mr.. and
Mrs. Esteb, the county will be relieved
o. any further payment to the Esteb
estate and shall retain the gift with
out further obligation. The four per
cent to be paid to the Esteb estate by
the county will not mean burden as
the amount is practically equal to the
earning capacity of the farm.
The gift of the Smith farm to the
county is one of the biggest donations
ever made to Wayne county in its his
tory. The farm, which includes a
palatial residence. and number of
outbuildings, consists of 235 acres of
the highest land in this section of the
country.
By using the land in the production
of crops, the county will be able to
maintain the hospital without any cost
to taxpayers. Work on the improve
ment of the farm and of Transforming
it for use as hospital will probably
be begun as soon as possible.
