GARDEN CITY, Long Island, Sept.
13.-Colonel Roosevelt rode behind a
Liberty motor to-day, 5000 feet above
the spires of the Cathedral City, at a
1OO-mile an hour clip. He Is said to
be the first civilian to learn by expert
eace the power of the engine on which
the United States relies for air su-
premacy in the war. From Sycamore
Hill tonight came the word that the
Colonel was too busy writing speech
to discuss his trip.
From other sources it was learned
that the Colonel was profoundly i'm
pressed by the great motor. After his
trip, which lasted more than half an
hour. he told friends that the future
of the air service wss assured If 1t
got proper governmental support. He
showed the utmost confidence in the
new standardized machine as weapon
against nation which has had the
experience OF war to aid its inventors.
The Liberty motor would make its
mark in the worlds history, he
thought, and it would be a mark as
easily discernible as any stroke from
the pen of John Hancock. The devel-
opment of the nations aeronautlcal re-
sources, he declared, was a prime duty
laid upon the Administration. and be-
cause a start had been made was no
reason for remitting jot OF the vigor
which already had been shown.
Arrives Unheralded at Field
Unheralded and almost unrecognized,
Colonel Roosevelt motored from Saga
more Hill TO the government aviation
field at Mineola. IL was about $3.50
A. m. when he arrived. Sentries pre-
sented arms and the gates swung open
with a promptness that convinced those
familiar with the precautions with
which this training field has been
hedged that all arrangements, even to
the minute of Colonel Roosevelts ar
rival, had been made long beforehand
The great gray airplane, with its
new. eiGht-cylinder engine, was on the
ground. Its Liberty engine had ar
rived only two days before. Beside
il stood its pilot. II. J. Blakeley, a stu
dent officer of the camp. Colonel Roose-
welt watched with interest while the
tuning-up process showered him with
dust and almost deafened him. He sug-
gested that he'd like a ride. Blakeley
agreed, but said he wanted TO make a
trial trip first. as the engine had never
been tested in fight.
Colonel Roosevelt announced that il
there was a trial trip he was going on
it. He had gone up five or six years
ago with Hoxsey and was no novice. he
said.
High above them a dozen great me-

chanical birds, whose gray wings glis-
tened in the sunshine, were soaring,
dipping, lowering like so many dragon
flies. The drone of their motors came
TO the field thin and remote, and it
took a lively Imagination TO conceive
the speed at which they were travel
ling.
Colonel Roosevelt finally prevailed
upon B,akeley and took his seat beside
him. II seemed but few seconds be-
fore the quick climbing plane was soar
ing with the rest Of the flock.
Goes Up 5000 Feet
Up 20 5000 feet sped Blakeley and his
passenger. They were in the midst of
the other mannuvring flyers. Possibly
fearing TO risk the chance of a blind
angle" collision, such as recently oc-
Cured in the West, Blakeley descended
TO about 1000 feet and made the most
of his trip at that altitude.
Below were the great encampment OF
the Rainbow Division, the green
matched streets Of Garden City, the ex-
panse of the neighboring golf links and
the Meadowbrook Hunt Club and polo
field On one side was the deep blue
Of the Atlantic, its rollers reduced to
ripples, and far away on the other was
the placid extent of the Sound.
Some of the Colonel's most intimate
friends lived just beneath him, and per-
haps were gazing up at the gray flyer
without a suspicion that it carried
Colonel Roosevelt. and was driven by
the Liberty motor. Above the estates
of Robert Bacon. Harry Payne Whitney
and score Of others, the Colonel rode
at ease. and then descended on long
slant TO the aviation field.
Major Vincent and Captain and Mrs.
Thomas Hitchcock accompanied the
Colonel to Mineola from Sycamore Hill.

TO appeal directly to the people, while
korniloff was not.
Democratic Forces Solidified

BY charging that KorniloF was work
ing in the interests OF the reactionaries
Kerensky solidifed the forces antag-
onistic to anything and everything un-
democratic.
The question arises. What will be
come of Kornilof? 1t is unlikely ne
will suffer the usual penalty for a
traitor, and it is also improbable that
he will be deported, as the government
attempted recently in the case OF the
two grand dukes. who were turned back
at the border by Firms. So long as
Kerensky remains in power there ls
little probability of capital punishment
being inflicted, however great the crime,
whether in civil or military lie.
In this he has the support Of the
bulk of the Russian people. A Russian
authority here tells me he thinks kor-
nilof will merely be sentenced 10
prison. If that is his fate il will top
of a record unequalled in this war,
for Kornilcff has been divisional gen.
eral. Austrian prisoner, army COM
mander. generalissimo and revolution

Moslems Stop Fighting
division of General Kornilof s
forces. composed Of Moslem troops, has
reached Tsarskoe-Selo, fifteen miles
south of Petrograd. Kugushef, loyal
Nahometan officer, was sent TO treat
with them, and they agreed to abandon
resistance to the Provisional Govern
ment on condition that they be sent
home to the Caucasus, where they must
not be employed against the Turks,
their co-religionsts. Premier keren-
skv agreed TO the proposal.
According to official statements, the
so-ca!led Savage" division, composed d
of Gcorgians and Caucasians, is the
only unit of troops sent against Petro-
Grad which remains solid for General
KornilofT. That body ls now at Isar-
skoe-Selo. Up to yesterday afternoon
il was feared that force would have TO
be applied to it, but 1t now seems that
the situation has cleared.
Princes Among Troops
Il appears that the Savage" dlyis-
ion. though devoted TO General Nor
niloff. had no idea of their destination
or his aim. The division consists or
eight regiments of fierce Caucasus cav
airy recruited almost exclusively from
the tribes lngushes, kabardntsl and
Ossetinians and contains few Tartars
Almost all are Mahometans, and among
them are many princes. some are
wholly uneducated. Their commander
is General Bagration.

vision was brought about through the

Austria Will Starve
Soon, Official Admits
Dual Monarchy Cannot Fight
Through Winter, Says
Authority

GENEVA, Sept. l3.-The "Freie lei
tung" Of Berne publishes an article
by a high Austrian Official who recent
ly travelled through several sections OF
his country, in which the writer states
that Austria Hungary cannot hold out
the coming winter owing TO economic
reasons, as both soldiers and civilians
will starve.
He gives several reasons, notably
the almost complete destruction Of the
crops in the richest regions Of Hun
gary by cold and heavy rain, while
300, 900 tons Of Rumsnian cereals could
not be transported owing 70 lack OF
rolling stock, which, first Of all, is uti'
lized for military purposes. In the
meantime, he says, the necessaries OF
life are mounting to sxtrserdinary
prices.
