AN American Aerodrome. in Eng,
land, July 17,-This is one of the nu-
merous aviation camps in England
where Americans are receiving their
finishing touches as flyers. when
they leave here for the battle front
in France, they know all that can be
taught about flying. Only tie school
of experience can supply the post
graduate course that makes Guyne-
mers and Lufburys
The aerodrome Is set in one Of
those beautiful spots that one calls
to mind from classic pictures Of
English landscapes. The great level
field that stretches away in front of
the hangers is like rich green car
pet. Beyond there is woodland,
and in the distance is range OF low
hills whose smooth contour recalls
to western Americans the foothills
OF California.
1t is a peaceful place and very
quiet except for the droning of air.
planes. At least a dozen are in the
air and others are preparing for
fight. Into one of these latter a
young Kentuekian has just climbed.
Fer the first time he is going up
alone.
For weeks the British instructor
has been with him constantly and he
has passed successfully the major
tests. He can fly straight, the instruc-
tor sitting beside him has made sure
and he can work the controls with
out fear or nerves. He knows how
to STALL to glide and to climb, and he
has learned good deal too about
the important art of landing.
On one memorable occasion the in
structor had shouted to him above
the roaring Of the engine, Shall we
loop?" and they did But hitherto,
OF course, the instructor had been
the real pilot Explaining maneuyers,
encouraging the young man to secure
an accurate touch, and to become, as
he must If he is to be successful, so
perfect master of the machine that
he can make it fly of itself.
The fact that it is his first fight
is known at the areodrome and many
eyes are watching to see him take

10 DAILY. NEWSPAPERS WILL
SUPPORT w. ]. HARRIS IN
RACE FOR SENATE

Atlanta, Ga, March 2.-Further
evidence of prevailing public senti-
ment and the growing strength OF
William J. Harris, candidate for the
United States Senate against Thos
w. Hardwick, is to be found in the
fact that of twenty-one daily news
papers outside of Atlanta, all but two
have announced their support of his
candidacy in the strongest terms.
The Athens Herald of Thursday at
ternoon joined its morning contem-
porary, the Athens Banner, in declar-
ing for Mr.. Harris in a ringing edi-
torial which predicts chat he will
sweep the state.
The three Atlanta dailies are en-.
tirely loyal to the administration ant
its policies, but they have not yet an
nounced their position in the sena-
torial race. In other words, they are
simply neutral up to the present. The
friends of Mr.. Harris are confident
that all of them, as we'll as the two
neutral dailies outside of Atlanta, will
soon join in supporting him against
Hardwick.
A leading citizen of the state who
attended the food conference in Ma
con last Wednesday, which brought
upwards of 1000 prominent farmers
merchants, bankers and professional
men from practically every county in
the state, declares that Mr.. Harris
was the center of an ovation in the
lobby of the Dempsey Hotel and in
the convention hall. He was assured
by representative men from every
part of the, state that he is the peo-
pies choice against Hardwick.

WAR TROPHY TRAIN VISITED BY
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.

The War Trophy Train, sent out
by the Government as an auxiliary
in the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign, paid Paris visit last Friday
morning. remaining at the L. e N.
Tenth street station about two hours.
In that time the exhibit was witness
ed by many hundred people, while
almost an equal number were unable
to get admission. Owing to the short
time the train was here it was impos-
sible for the visitors to make the in
spection leisurely, and they were told
to move along lively, so that others
might have a chance.
The train arrived at 400 a. m.
and was sidetracked in the yards,
while the members of the party were
taken to breakfast at the Crosdale
Hotel. On their return and the ar
rival at the station of the parade
which was formed in front of the
court house, they were greeted by a
large crowd. Mr.. John Il. Collins
acted as master of ceremonies and in
troduced DR.. B. J. Bush, of Lexing-
ton, who delivered a thoroughly de-
lightful address of about three-quar-
tiers of an hour in length, which
the crowd enjoyed immensely. At the
conclusion of his address the train
was thrown open for inspection.
There was a rush at once, but the
Citizens Committee and the guards
with the train handled them in sat
isfactory manner. Among the men,
bers of the visiting party was two
American soldiers, one of whom had
lost a leg and the other an arm in
the attack at Chateau-Thierry; a
French Lieutenant who had been dec
grated for bravery in action, and an
Italian officer who had seen four
years service in the present wSrr
The train was composed of two
flat cars, two baggage cars and a
Pullman. On the two fiat cars was
loaded a big mortar, which had once
done duty on the deck Of the German
raider, Remsden; a German 150mili-
meter gun, captured in the battle of
Chateau-Thierry; an Albatross air
plane, minus its wings, shot down in
battle by famous French aeronaut.
In the covered cars was miscella-
neous assortment Of all kinds of i'm
plements of warfare, from a dagger
to a big shell weighing 1900 pounds.
