After 600 Mile Flight
British Aviator in Air 81
Hours, Making Eight
Stops on Trip

LONDON, Nov. 22.-The Admiralty
announces that successful air attack
in the vicinity of Constantinople has
been fully accomplished by a large
British bombing airplane, which flew
from England to a British base in the
Mediterranean in a series of eight
fights. The stopping places included
Lyons and Rome, and the total dis
lance covered was nearly two thousand
miles.
The machine was actually in the air
thirty-one hours. This is believed 10
be a worlds record for 'cross-country
journey and for the weight carried.
During some parts of the flight strong
winds and heavy transforms were ex-
perienced, and there was one stretch
of two hundred miles over a noun
famous country where it would be i'm
possible for any machine to land.

To Speed Knitters

Tho Atlantic Division Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross urged all chapters yes
terday to speed up their knitting and
mobilize their reserve knitters In
three days acquisitions for 100000
knitted articles have been received
from four camps. In every case 1t is

Atlantic Division. "The knitting OF
articles for our fighting men is very
important and very necessary. The
Red Cross cannot over-emphasize the
Importance Of II.

Enemy Reserves Attack
These fluctuations are marked By the
blpodiest fighting, with the enemy re-
serves coming forward for three sue
cessive attacks, which were met at the
point of the bayonet and driven back,
except for one push down the coveted
valley.
Just west Of this main field Of ac-
ton, the Italian first army rushed the
enemy positions near the Brenta River
and in two attacks and counter at
tacks held the occupied ground, which
was strewn with enemy corpses.
On the lower Pisve the enemy forces
in the bushes on the west bank Of
Zenson are now placed at seven hun
bred men, who are being raked by the
artillery, as they have tried TO set up
a line Of machine guns across the small
area they occupy.
Reports are coming in from the in
vaded Venetian district Of fearful acts
committed by soldiers, but this is
stated under reserve, as 1t is impos-
sible at present to give confirmation.

found men huddled in caverns and
caves, from which hung huge icicles.
Many were absolutely worn out by their
efforts and slept on the
ground in blankets, with ice all about
them and drifted snow without.
Rations are served once daily, but
with extreme difficulty in the midst OF
such q whirlwind Of action. The skies
are gray. but stars show at night.
But with all these rigors and bloody
work, the morale and confidence Of the
men are at the top notch. A brigade Of
Alpini were seen passing 10 the front.
They did not wear those jaunty alpine
hats with a cocks feather. as one sees
them in Rome, but were figures in
gray, topped with steel. They swung
forward rapidly, as though eager TO
arrive, and TO every inquiry they re-
piled with confidence, lacking every
trace Of yairglory.

Confidence Italy's Great Asset

II is this confidence which is Italy's
greatest asset at this critical moment,
for the heroic defenders really believe
that they will hold the enemy back.
The Italians not only held the valley
passes 10 the plains, but drove the
enemy back at the point of the bayonet,
first from the trenches and then from
the improvised breastworks until his
retreat was marked by a great swath
Of dead and wounded
1t seemed as though the Italians were
suddenly imbued with tenfold courage
TO save their country and Individual
cases of bravery stand out amid the
general heroism. At one point a con-
tingent Of thirty Italians left a shelter
and hewed their way through the lines.
bringing back twenty-seven prisoners.
Such instances were not isolated, but
general, until the main lines Of the
enemy were driven back 10 the wood
on the upper slopes OF Monte Melleta.
The whole range Of this fighting
ground presented a scene of frigid des-
olation, showing the rieors of the
winter campaign now in full operation
Snow lay six inches deep along the
slope and drifted in places to a depth
Of five feet.

Italy Makes Brave Fight

Americans do not realize what q
gallant fight the Italians have made"
said Mr.. Norton. 81 visited the entire
Italian front one week before the dis
aster, at the moment Of their greatest
success.
Fortunately in this emergency our
Red Cross was prepared as we were not
when the Germans pushed the French
10 the Marine.
when thousands Of refugees from
the Venetian plains poured toward
Milan they were met by our Red Cross
men and Red Cross supplies rushed in
special trains from France. Il was the
500, 100000 fund that made this pos
sible. We cannot overestimate the
value of such help In such a crisis. 1t
heartens them to realize that the Amer
lean fairy godmother is on their side.
"Our troops in France were in high
spirits. They are keen to fight. A
group of Santa Fe Railway engineers
got into a hot quarrel with group OF
Union Pacific men, and the Red Cross
nurses who took them off to the hos
pital in the ambulance said, Why do
you fight each other? Why don't you
wait and fight the Germans That's
just the trouble, miss; there amt any
Germans here was the reply.

pared for the crate in which the
l00-inch mirror for the new solar
telescope on Mt. Wilson, support
ed by the Carnegie Institution of

The mirror will ride on edge in
an octagonal air-tight box that is
10 feet deep and two feet wide.
Between the glass and the box
will be successive layers of earded
wool padding. both to protect It
from jars, and to keep out, as far
as possible. the heat of the sun.
The box will be paraffin lined.
The grinding OF the block OF
glass has been done so accurately
that the most minute changes are
noticeable. the heat of a mans
body three feet away from it
causing slight changes In the sur
face.
Around the box which holds the
glass will be constructed a cradle

be arranged a system of powerful
