TIGER BAY SEES PLANES
Five of Them Made a Landing There
Monday
(Ft. Meade LEADER

Tiger Bay, the pluck mining COM
munity three miles west of Ft. Meade,
put one over on Fort Meade Monday
when five airships from the aviation
camps at Arcadia made a landing
near the Tiger Bay pond.
The planes, each manned by sin
gle aviator, were ON their way to the
landing at Sarasota. 1t appears that
atmospheric conditions caused the
airmen to lose their bearings and the
way was lost. One of the machines
ran short of gasoline and was forced
to make landing. In landing one
of the wings struck an old stump and
injured it slightly. Loath to leave
a companion the other four machines
landed also. Late in the afternoon
the four uninjured machines arose
and circled around the community fol-
some time, intending to come on 10
the Fort Meade landing and spend
the night. For various reasons, how
ever, the birdmen decided to spend
the night at Tiger Bay. In making
second landing one Of the four ma
chimes was injured Seven mechan

o'clock four of the planes flew owe

Late in the afternoon the hum of thu

Tiger Bay is to be congratulate
on having landing place for so man

been prevented. But all's well tina
ends well.

Great Lakes Sousa Trained
Musicians in City.
Play in Topeka for Fair
March on Avenue Sunday.

Thirty b1uejackets swinging up
Fifth avenue shortly before noon to-
day-the stride of every man radiat-
ing youthful vigor and their instru-
ments bIaring forth the martial airs
for which their trainer, John Philip
Sousa, is famous-signaled the ar
rival in Topeka today OF the famous
band from the Great Lakes training
station, which plays next week at the
Free Fair. The band arrived a day
ahead of schedule time-unheralded.
Applause from pedestrians and spec
tators and listeners in vehicles indi-
Gated that it was, indeed pleasant
surprise, and it also indicated that To-
peka is going to like the snappy,
swinging music for which the aggre-
CATION is famous.
The band arrived over the Santa Fe
from Lincoln by way Of Kansas City.
1t marched uptown to the National
hotel, where naval headquarters had
been established for the time the band
is to be here.
the feature work of the bluejackets
here. However, thru arrangements
made early this afternoon by Chief
Yeoman Elmer Barnes, in charge of
the band, and Phil Eastman, secre-
tary for the fair association, Topeka
is to have a chance to see the fight
ing musicians "fn action" before that
time. This chance will come at 11:10
o'clock tomorrow morning when the
bluejackets will meet the crack drill
team of the United States army from
Fort Leavenworth at the Santa Fe
station and lead the army detachment
of fifty men to the fair grounds by
way of Kansas avenue.
The band will march at the head
of the drill team and, it is promised,
will give an exhibition of musical skill
and fancy stepping that will be all of
worth while.
Those who watched the bluejackets
come up Kansas avenue this morn
ing betrayed the rousing spirit of
Americanism which the navy players
seem to inject into their audiences.
| After arrival in Topeka, the men were
tired from their long trip, but the
spasmodic hand-clapping repaid them
for their effort.
The band will play at the fair next
| week for four days-Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday A big pa
| triotic feature concert will be given
Monday night by the bluejackets in
1 honor of the Topeka men in uniform.
The concert will be in the peoples
| pavilion.

BOMB A HOSPITAL
American and French Wounded
Are Attacked.
Bombs Were Dropped on Big
Red Cross.

Paris, Sept. 7.-Eighteen bombs
were dropped by low flying German
aviators on Franco-American hospi-
tai, twenty miles behind the lines
Thursday night, it was learned today.
Two of the bombs were planted
squarely on a huge Red Cross distinct
ly visible on the ground. The patients
were carried to the cellars and were
not injured.
For more than twenty minutes the
German raiders circled and swooped
low over the hospital, making several
direct hits on the stone buildings. At
the beginning of the attack many
American and French wounded barely
able to walk, picked, up the badly
wounded and carried them to safety.
There was nothing of any military
value in the village and the raid was
obviously directed Intentionally against
the American and French wounded.

Pershing Was Instructed To
Withhold Casualties.
Those Not Given Out We're All
Light Injuries.
MAKES TOTAL 46,93O TO DATE
Most of Those Withheld Are
Back in Service Again.
Many of Them Only Lost a
Few Days Time.

Washington. Sept. Twenty thou
sand slight American casualties had
not been reported to the war depart
ment up to August 20. according to in
formation from General March today.
These cases are all listed on medi-
cal records as light and not worrisome.
General Pershing has been asked to
forward them by courier and hereaf-
ter the war department will give full
information about all casualties. Here
tofore Pershing has had permission to
withhold the minor casualties. The
theory behind this was that publica-
ton of them would tend TO create
unwarranted anxiety.
Adding these twenty thousand cas-
ualties to those published to date, the
total American casualties have
reached 46.930, a great percentage of
which were suffered during the great
American smash at the Marne.
VIII Give Complete Data.
General March explained that COM
pIete data in each case will be in
cluded in the list of wounded SO that
relatives may be advised fully as to
the nature of the wounds.
1t has been found that relatives of
soldiers were sometimes advised a
man. was wounded when the war de-
partment itself had no information
thereof. In many cases, March pointed
out, the judgment of the soldier would
differ considerably from that of the
doctor who listed the mans case as
dangerous. Every man out of action,
no matter how slightly he is wounded
or how briefly he is out of commits
sion, Is listed as a casualty.

HARRY LED THE BAND
Topeka Sailor Realizes His Boyhood
Ambition Today.


One Topekan in war service has
realized his ambition.
Every real, red blooded man has an
ambition-a sort Of boyhood ambition
and a desire to make the folks turn
green with envy Some men want to
be worlds champion prize fighters
others want to be captains of indus
try, some want to be president. Some
of the dreams and hopes come true.
Today Harry c. Caylor's war time
ambition bore fruit.
When Caylor was a reporter for the
State Journal, he made numerous eff
forts to land a place in some army
service. His ambition was to fight
the Hun. Then he wanted to come
home with the troops and march down
Kansas avenue with a rifle on his
shou1der-head up, shoulders back,
PLAYING. Well. you know
But when Caylor went to the navy,
1t looked as tho the bubble had
burst. The navy wasn't COM
ing to Topeka. CayIor saw chances
OF being mustered out of service when
his ship docked in some far away port
Then there was nothing to do but slip
back to town and hunt up the gang.
MOST unromantic, Unconditional ending
OF war service in all the world.
Then out of a clear sky came the
realization of the dream. Caylor was
today sent here officially. He was
sent with the Great Lakes Naval band
which plays in Topeka during fair
week. And this morning Caylor
marched up Kansas avenue at the head
OF the band-out of. step and feeling
awfully awkward and fidgety-but
with all Topeka proud and happy.
