AVIATORS RESCUED
BY GUS LIFEGUARDS

West Palm Beach, Oct. 2S.--Gus'
Baths, with Captain Jordahn as the
central figure, was yesterday the
scene Of rescue involving two avia-
tors and their aeroplane entirely
without loss. The plane landed with
its two occupants eight miles out at
sea, being forced down by engine
trouble. Owing to fortune-favoring
east wind, the aviators were enabled
to make landfall about dusk by
which time they had approached to
within mile of the beach about ane
and half miles south of the Baths
They sent up rockets which quickly
attracted Captain Jordahn's attention
and he put off to their rescue in his
catamaran. The aviators were
brought ashore and their amph. bious
craft beached. 1t was subsequently
hauled up high and dry on the bank
by the Hutson & Niblack's teams.
The depth bombs and instruments
had already been brought ashort in
the catamaran, and the plane has
been dismantled and is ready for
transportation by U. S. canton to
Miami this morning.

BOLS ARE DIVIDED REGARD
ING GOVERNMENT OF RUSSIA

Moscow, Oct. 2S.-Bolshevik lead
ers are divided as to the best means
of perpetuating soviety Russia. One
faction wants a real army to fight
Germany and believes actual war
with Germany will be necessary An
other faction, which includes those
who lean toward the social revolu
tionists, would wage guerilla warfare
against Germany and attack Germans
wherever and whenever possible. The
third and predominant group urges
the preservation of the Brest peace
and clings to the hope that social rev
olution in Germany and all the rest
of the world will be brought about by
constant agitation. Such revolution
in Germany, in the opinion 3f this
group will mean the restoration to
Russia of all its territory and the
permancy Of the soviet government
Many foreign observers believe the
flower of the Russian army and the
best of the old officers, fell in the
first three years of the war. Other
observers are confident the officers
and men Of the disbanded army con
stitute a mass out Of which smaller
army will some day be created to ov-
erthrow German oppression.

MAIL CARRYING MOTOR
TRUCKS A GREAT SUCCESS

Washington, Oct. 2S-Cross-coun-
try operation of mail carrying motor
trucks, tried out by the postoffice
department on an experimental but
nevertheless big scale, during the
last year, has been a great success.
James |. Blakslee, fourth assistant
postmaster general has found that
one truck route between Philadel-
phia and Washington, cutting chief
ly through territory without direct
rail connection and costing $500 a
month to operate, has In eight
months developed a revenue of $780,
600 monthly. Another route, into
Washington, where % parcels day
were moved during the first month,

Seventy lines now operate over
the country, all but one east of the
Mississippi, and there are visions OF

construction or other purposes.
"Why, General Pershing has 5000
trucks damaged or ruined over on
the other side," said Mr.. Blakeslee
telling Of the growth Of the system.

He called attention with pride to

ing the spots where shrapnel and
machine-gun bullets have torn peril
iously near to pilot or observer or
both, and where the repairs have
been made by mechanics who are
jealously proud Of the little insignina
of narrow escapes.
One of the machines bore more
than twenty such crosses In one
small part of the fuselage between
pilot and observer alone, and the con-
ductor said with laugh that it was
great good luck that no vital part OF
the machine had been hit,
He told, nonchalantly and with
modesty, of narrow escapes he and
his fellow observers and pilots had
had. One man had been fairly
raised off his seat by piece Of she'll
that had penetrated the airplane
from beneath. Another had been
wounded in feet and legs by shrap-
mel that entered the fuselage. He
could have told such anecdotes for
hours, but a signal from the COM

that Il was nearly time to start.
