Ed R0DEFEIT MAKES
SOLO AIR FLIGHT

Edward Rodefelt, Richmond boy pre-
pairing to battle Huns in the air, tells
of his first flight alone in letter to
his mother, POI South Tenth street.
Rodefelt is stationed at Park Field,
Tenn. His letter follows:
Just a few lines to tell you OF my
first trip around alone and in back
OF a Starr propeller. I'm the first OF
my class OF 25 to solo, that is, to fly
alone.
II enjoyed it greatly. my air work
was fine, but | gave it good bump
when landed. but it didn't hurt any
thing. know I can fly alone now
but | won't do but very little flying
alone for some time for under the
new system we are not supposed to
fly alone until about 20 hours in the
air
81 made a circle Of about FIVE or
six miles and got up to about 600 or
500 feet. It's easier to fly alone than
when the instructor is in the front
seat
Seems funny to make my first
flight with ship equipped with
propeller made at home"

The following resolution, asking

reconsider his action. has been
adopted by the Wayne County Coun-
Gil Of Defense:
Whereas, Information has been re-
ceived by the Wayne County Council
Of Defense to the effect that Harry w.

Food Administrator in Wayne county,
Indiana; and
Whereas, Mr.. Gilbert has served in
such official capacity as Food Admin
istrator carrying out his duties in
such a manner which satisfied all
three interests commemorative govern
ment, the dealer and the consumer,
making for himself the record Of the
best county administrator in the State
of Indiana: and

perience and splendid qualities for

sible to secure the services of any per
son to handle such intricate and i'm
portant work as well,
Therefore, be it Resolved, That we
respectfully request Mr.. Gilbert to re-
consider the matter of his resignation
and to continue his services.
THE County Council of Defense ap-

WILSON TO ISSUE
PLEA AGAINST
MOB Law IN U. S.
Praeger Incident Was Aid to
Germany, President Wilson
Will Urge.

WASHINGTON. July %. - Deeply
concerned by manifestations OF mob
spirit in widely separated parts OF the
land, President Wilson Is about TO
issue a statement to his countrymen
calling upon them to respect the re-
straints OF law and order in dealing
with those whom they suspect OF be-
ing enemy aliens within their midst
The presidents pronouncement prob
ably will take the form Of the open
personal statement, similar to that
which he issued at the beginning OF
the world war urging his countrymen
to observe a true neutrality.
One particular episode which has
disturbed the president and the cabi-
net very much was the hanging OF
Robert p Praegcr at Collinsviile, H.,
last April The incident was discussed
in the German reichstag, and 1t was
reported from Amsterdam that Ger
many was sending a protest through
diplomatic channels. The State De-
partment however, never has announc-
ed receiving one.
Now, the government has learned
that Germany has made wide and dam
aging use of the Praeger case and
others of similar nature throughout
Mexico and South America, and even
in Europe, where the propaganda has
been at work to controvert the presi-
dents announcements Of ustice for
all.
President Wilson Is said by close ad-
visers to regard the situation as one
with mob spirit operating under guise
OF patriotism. Some Of the presidents
friends say he regards it not only as
q dangerous evil, but as disgrace,
because 1t strikes at the nations NOR
ale and feeds the propaganda which
represents the United States as fight
ing democracy abroad and countenanc-
ing its destruction at home.
The presidents statement. 1t is said,
will be q very earnest and solemn
one. urging all to leave disloyalty or
suspected disloyalty to the regular
processes Of the law.

MILITIA COMPANY

The Richmond militia company is
one Of the best trained organizations
of it's kind in the country in the opin-
ion Of Captain Chaffee, commanding a
train of automobile trucks which
camped in Richmond Monday night.
In many ways the company is better
drilled than some national army COM
panies Captain Chaffee said.
The 40 army trucks, in charge OF
Captain Chaffee, arrived in the city
about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon
They camped at the public playground
on South Twenty-second street.
Captain Chaffee watched the Rich
mond militiamen drill on North A
street for nearly an hour and acted
as one Of the judges in the competi-
tive drills.
Corporal E. G. Chairman received
the prize in the competitive drill.
The militiamen will meet at the
armory next Monday night and hike

its use you will find that the hair

that it looks more abundant than it is,

to apply 1t to all the hair instead OF
just the top Of the head.-Adv.

Thank God That the United War Work Organiza-

Boys Come Home

Well informed military critics calculate that
it will be anywhere from six months to two
years, before our boys will all be back home
again, even if speedy and satisfactory settle
ment of postwar troubles is made.
All Europe will go wild with JOY. There will
be period of reaction and relaxation with the
lifting of tense responsibility.
The Soldiers that won your war and my war
will have long periods of idleness-a and with
idleness the natural tendency of young, vigor-
Gus manhood is not always of the wholesome
sort if GOOD influences are not constantly
mindful of his welfare.
Thank God, the seven great organizations
listed at the right are on the job and will stay
on the job if youhelp keep them there. But they
MUST have money-loads of it. For their COM
bined needs they have asked America for $l70,-

you appreciate what your fighters have done
for you-you1l DO YOUR PART-as you'd
pay debt of honor. ,'.'
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1918-11-12

Plans for the work of these organizations
during the period of demobilization were
mapped out long before the prospect of peace
was even as near as it is today.
There will be regular university in khaki"
in France Our fighters will be. able to make
profitable use oftheir leisure to fit themselves
for bigger things when they get back into civil
life, for better jobs They have learned to learn
in the Army and Navy. Textbooks, lectures
and class-rooms must be provided to help them
prepare for advancement after they return
The countrys greatest educators are in uniform
now. ready for this work.
And besides, don't forget that we all are
going to owe the integrity of our country to
your fighter and the boys like him. We sent
them away with cheer. We are going to well
come them home with a roar! And we are
going to look after them just as carefully all the
way back as we looked after them all the way
