great army, which is counted on to
win the war next year, will call for
the establishment of a number of
new aviation fields in various sections
of the country, is the belief in Wash
ington.
In the report made public by the
Senate Military Committee it was
shown that number of aviation
camps is not adequate to meet the de-
mands.
Col. C. G. Edgar, contraction head
of the signal corps, in his testimony
before the Military Committee, urg-
ed the construction of more training
feds. Col. Edgar said virtually all
aviation camps are now Overcrowded.
Camp 2, at San Antonio. Tex, he
said, has 400 men when il was con-
structed to accommodate only 1920.
This condition prevails at virtually
al of the camps, it was stated, but
But if the United States is to accom-

plish all it has set out to accomplish,
it will be compelled to increase its

There are a number of sites now
under consideration by the War De-
partmcnt. Cape Girardeau, Mo-, is
an applicant for an aviation field
when the Government makes it's new
a'lotments. 1t is quite likely that
Missouri will be given recognition, if
a suitable site can be obtained by the
government. 1t is customary for the
city selected for a camp to donate
the ground and the Government
makes all necessary improvements.

Zoo MOONSHlNERS.
I 486 Stills SEIZED
Dnring Raids In South BY U. 5.
Agents Outlaws, 2 Sheriffs
Are Killed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31-The big
gest intensive roundup of illicit dis
tiuers of whiskay ever undertaken by
the government has just been COM
pleted in the southern mountain dis
tricts by revenue agents under direc-
ton of Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Daniel C. Roper. The activities
of the agents resulted in the, seizure
Of 4S6 stills, arrest of 200 noonshin-
ers, killing of five outlaws and two
sheriffs and the wounding of a num-
Der of other government men and lig-
uor makers. s.
This systematic campaign Of raids
had been undsr way eight weeks,
mainly in mountains in Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North
Carolina and South Carolina-all dry
states-but announcement was with
held until today to avoid giving adj
vance information to moonshiners
of the activities of flying squadron
of fourteen experienced revenue ag-
ents. This band, working swiftly
from community to community,
cleaned out nests of moonshiners who
had been operating without serious
difficulty for years, and left behind
them "follow up" vigilance organize
lions of citizens and officers to pre-
vent outlaws from going back to their
traffic.
More than $4,000 gallons Of pale
moorshine whiskey was seized and
poured down mountain streams. Over
S1Go, 600 worth of illicit copper stills
and other paraphcrna.ia, automo-
biles, horses, mules and wagons be-
'onging TO the distillers were taken
by the flying squadron. About 81 900
pounds of sugar found on distillery
premises was confscated and the
most of it given to the Red Cross.
Recommendation for 321 prosecu-
tions have been sent to the Depart
ment of Justice and forwarded to
United States Attorneys, while most
of the moonshiners caught at their
stills are behind bars in Southern
jails awaiting trial.
The drive had features more spec
tacular than even the usual moon
shine raids, officially declared.
More than score of deserters
from the army service We're discover
ed participating in moonshine mani
facture in the Southern mountains
and two of these were killed in Geor-
gia by armed raiders. In Tuscaloosa
and Jefferson counties, Ala, two
sheriffs were shot, and the killing of
moonshiners occurred in Georgia,
Tennessee and Alabama.
Members Of the raiding squadron
were picked from the most experienc-
ed revenue agents in the entire cour-
try. They were supervised by Dan
lei L. Porter. assistant of revenue ag-
ents in cargo of the governments liz
uor and narcotic drug service. Sher-
ifs and other local officers assisted in
the raids.

Inspector John Daily was appointed

Inspector since the retirement of James

a hitch between the Mayor and the
Police Commissioner. 1t was generally
reported that the Office would go to
Inspector Dominick Henry, recently
made an inspector, and who succeeded
Daily as acting inspector in the Ten

predicted that the place was being held

Proprietor of "The New
York Herald" Had Been
Unconscious Two Days
Last Words Relate
To His Newspapers
Visit to Hospital, Where He
Became Overheated, Led
to Final Illness

BEAULIEU, France, May 14.-James
Gordon Bennett, proprietor of "The
New York Herald" died at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning, after having been uncon-
scious for two days.
Mr.. Benefits last words before he
relapsed into unconsciousness were in
relation to his newspaper interests.
Mrs. Bennett was with her husband
when he died.
Mr.. Bennett had spent the winter at
his villa in Beaulieu. He became over
heated when visiting hospital in Paris
in the late autumn. An attack Of
grippe ensued and he went to the
South of France to 1-cuperate in the
milder air. Pneumonia developed,
however. From this Mr.. Bennett re-
covered, but the attack was quickly
followed by a second.
The patient had not left his room
since January, and his condition for
the last three or four weeks had been
grave
New-York tribune., 1918-05-15
Bennett, at Age
OF 81, Took Charge
OF "The HeraId''

James Gordon Bennett was notable
exponent at once of personal and i'm
personal journalism. There was no
American newspaper man who made all
departments of his paper more thor
oughiy lmpersonal. There was also
probably no other of anything like
comparable rank who was so little
Inown IN his own country in actual
person. That was because, while his
name was inseparably associated with
tne newspaper of which his father was
.ne founder, and of which for more
!nan twoscore of years he was himself
!ne proprietor and director, he chose
70 spend most of his life in foreign
isnds, and was thus seldom seen on
THIS side of the Atlantic.
From this latter circumstance arose
. .ne fact that he and his connection with
Inc New York Herald" were for many
years the subject of far more gossip
ana fanciful speculation than fall to
'ne lot of most mortals in any profess
SION or calling. Yet the true story Of
tss .as career, told as plain, unvarnishei
taIe, would not be inferior in both pop-
ular and Journalistic interest to the
most extravagant products of unbrdled
invention.
Mr. Bennett succeeded to the head
snip of "The Herald" upon the death
Of his father. in 1872 He was then
scarcely thirty-one years Of age, hav-
ing been born in Chambers Street, in
!nis city. on May 10, 1841, the Oldest of
ms parents three children. A younger
brother. named Cosmo, died at the age

me dash and enterprise which occa-
s;y ss;;onaiiy distinguished his administra-

i, MS mother, however, took peculiar
= oeep and affectionate interest in him
- ar respects. She took him to Europe
u ms childhood, and it was there that
~. a,s education was chiefly acquired, un-
~ private tutors and at the Poly
stscnnic Institute, in Paris. On his re-
urn with her to this country he en-
