average performances of five different types of machines used at the begin ming of the war with others of late patterns he said that maximum speed for level flying had nearly doubled Horse power was more than doubled.
 Airmanship had advanced more than it would have done in eight or ten years of peace conditions and the advance seemed to have been along what might be called conventional lines-that is, improvement on stan dard designs, and no good results had been obtained from any departure from that standard. To his mind inn provements in engines were resppn- slble for present day performances to a far greater extent than improve ment in machines.
 He said the most marked develop ment in the modern machine is it's capacity for climb ping. At the begin nlng of the war; he said the average height flown on active service was 4,0OO to 5000 feet. Today height of 20,O0O feet is reached and if prog ress continues heights a great deal be- yond this figure will be reached as a usual thing

'TUMbLING ABOUT
 IN STORM CLOUDS
Airman Reports Uncanny Experi-
 enCe While Lost in Rain

London, June 25.-Correspondenc Dangers of flying in heavy clouds when it is impossible to keep the air plane on even keel and the aviator has only his compass to depend upon were described by Captain B. c. Hucks, of the Royal Flying corps, in an address on "Modern Airmanship" which he recently delivered before the Aero nautical society. Describing an eN perience of his own he said his air plane "tumbled about in the cloud and that he emerged from it flying upside down. Captain Hucks was en- phasizing the need of an instrument that would show an airman in the clouds whether he was flying horizon tally He said:
 "I set out on a very cloudy. windy day to do a test climb to 10, 900 feet on late type two-seater On reach ing 1,2O0 feet we got into a dense rain cloud but carried on beyond 5000 feet, still in the cloud, when the compass apparently began to swing although actually it is the machine that begins to swing, not the com pass Efforts to check the compass had the effect of causing it to swing more violently in the other direction. The air speed then rushed up far be- yond normal flying speed. All efforts to pull her up checked her only slight ly. Then the rudder was tried. Back went the air speed to zero. There was an unusual uncanny feeling of being
 detached from the machine and I knew her to be literally tumbllng about in the clouds All efforts to set tie down again to straight flying seemed to be unavailing until we emerged from the cloud very nearly upside down.
 "A few days ago a squadron com mander told me that on one occasion when in France everything loose in his machine fell out while in a. cloud. A week or so ago on the south coast a machine disintegrated itself in a cloud and the main planes landed
 half mile from the fuselage. In a cloud you can see nothing whatever but your machine. There is no fixed point visible.
 "The only means by which you can tell If you are flying in a straight course is by your compass and your
 air speed. The compass should give YOU your direction horizontally, your air speed your direction vertically. Compass Warns too late. Before your compass starts to move your machine has already start 1 ed to turn. You rudder the opposite l way to check it, over-correct 1t, and l turn sharp the other way on bank | turn then the nose drops and speed goes up. Pulling back your elevator 1 lever has little or no effect, for if you 1 a I, cd a nf O. 1 grees the elevator becomes the rudder. l All this occurs without the pilot be- 1 ing in the least aware of the position 1 his machine is taking relative to the l ground"

 inEly rapid that manufacturers could 1 scarcely keep pace. Comparing the

U. 5. SHOULD GET
 THE NEWS FIRST
Criticism Of Manner in Which
 Censor Kept Us in Dark

Washington, July S.-Some means must be devised. Secretary of the Navy Daniels declares by which America can be informed as quickly as England and France of the land ing of American troops in France. Secretary of War Baker refused to make any statement.
 One military officer asserted that it would be just as we'll for the gov ernment to allow the publication of prospective troop movements as to permit 8 repetition of what actually occurred, namely, the publication i'll England and France of the arrival of the first contingents of the American overseas expedition before all the units had arrived. thus making 1t possible for German submarines to be informed of the approximate To- cation of transports still on the water.
 No effort was made to explain the action of the war department In clamping down the censorship upon details which already had been pub lished In London and which were easily accessible to Germany via both Switzerland and Holland. It was the belief of military men here that all the units of the first contingent had been landed in France, but 1t was inn possible to obtain any reason for the refusal of Secretary Baker to per- init any publicity concerning the movement.
 The navy department Is understood to be awaiting 8 statement by the war department before commenting upon its successful conveying of the transports and supply ships to France. The navy and war departments were said to be cooperating perfectly in the movement of troops and supplies to France.
 It was indicated in a high quarter that there probably would be sur prise when the number of troops sent to France became known, it being be- lieved that the popular estimate of the size of the expedition is consid- erably less than the actual figures.
 The war department has not yet seen fit to make public instructions given to General Pershing.

 Negro Rescued by Guard Officer. :
 Colonel s. O. Tripp of the Illinois guard was the chief figure in sen sational rescue of an aged negro. The black, with a rope around his neck. was being dragged through a street by more than hundred men. An automobile bearing Colonel Tripp and City Attorney Fekete appeared as the mob was about to hang the negro to a pole. Colonel Tripp left his car, forced his way through the moh and took charge of the black without molestation. Later the city attorney rescued q negro at whom the mob was shooting.

A large automobile truck toured the city under his direction removing wounded negroes to hos pitals.
 Although surface indications were that the orgy of butchery and inccn- diarism had spent its force, Adjutant General Dickson of Illinois asserted today that he feared there might be more trouble tonight and discussed with Mayor Mollman the advisabili+y of calling for more troops.
 The six companies who were on the ground last night, he explained, were inadequate to cover the wide terri tory where rioting prevailed. He feared that even the additional com panies. which arrived later bringing the total number of guar(snlen here to 1.5OO, would not be enough to es- tablish authority.

WHAT AND HOW TO GAN
Women of New Britain to Receive In- structions From Expert at Lectures In School Hall Next Tuesday.

In School Hall Next Tuesday.
 Announcement was made today that Mrs. Dean, connected with the exten- sion department of Storrs Agricultural college and with the Hartford County League, will speak next Tuesday at Grammar school hall in the interest of food conservation. Two lectures will be given, the first at 10 a. m. and the second at 2 p. m.
 Mrs Dean will speak on canning and drying foods. Her purpose is not to instruct those in attendance how to can cherries, peaches or other fruits that would be preserved under normal conditions but to point out the wisdom of canning and drying foods that would otherwise be wasted. In addition to urging her audience to take steps to do this, Mrs. Dean will show them how to do 1t, which is more to the point. All women inter- ested-and Uncle Sam asks every woman to be interested-are invited.
 The committee arranging for Mrs. Deans visit consists of Mrs. B. WI Christ, chairman; Mrs. H. P. Carter, Mrs. Cbarles F. Chase, Mrs. Ira E. Hicks and Miss Flora Humphrey.
