BRINGS BACK PAY
ROLL IN MACHINE
MAJOR WASH GOES TO MACON IN
FIFTY MINUTES AND RETURNS
WITH THE PAYMASTER FOR
SOUTHER FIELD. j.

THE following is from the Macon
Telegraph of today:
Maj. Gen. Leroy Lyon, Brig. Gen.
Walter A. Harris, Major Hodges, Mario
Talby, Capt. Henry and Capt Arm
stead were yesterday the high flyers"
at Camp Wheeler, all of them having
made fights in the two army flying
machines here on a visit from Souther
Field, Americas. The two majors in
the party made the trip back to Amer
icus in the airplanes.
The trip from Americas to Camp
Wheeler was made in iifty-five min
les by Major Wash and Capt. Furrow,
operating two high-powered machines.
They landed on the drill field Oh the
123rd Infantry at 1880 o'clock. Be
fore landing at Camp Wheeler they cir
cled over the camp and attracted the
attention of the entire division by
their fancy stunts in mid-air. Loop
the-loops and tail-spins seemed as
easy as flying straight away to the
two experienced army flyers.
When they reached the ground
crowds of troops flocked around them
and cheered them in big wholesome
welcome to the camp. They are the
first ayiators ever to land at the camp.
Napier Wash operated machine No.
1899, and Captain Furrow operated No.
1895. Both officers were dressed in the
regulation aviation uniform.
The two army aviators were giver
a luncheon by the division officers at
the division mess hall In the after
noon General Lyon, General Harris,
Major Hodges and Major Talby and
Captains Henry and Armstead were
carried far above the camp.
Major General Lyon made several
flights in airships while on duty out in
California. He made the statement af-
ter his trip yesterday that the air
currents were rather rough. The
other members of the party taking the
flights could not express expert opin-
ion as to air currents, as it was their
first fight in machine.
The return of the machines to
Americas was doubly welcomed, as
they not only we're occupied by the of
ficers, but also contained the pay
checks for the Americas soldiers. Capt.
F. J.. Baker, camp disbursing officer,
sent the pay by airplane, thus saving
days time.
Army motor trucks followed the
planes to Americas and brought the
two Camp Wheeler officers back to
camp. Thousands of people in Macon
watched the machines in the air.
