BIRDMAN CIRCLED
Low over DAWSON
AVIATOR DESCENDED IN BALL
PARK, AND SPECTATORS Elk.
PECTED MANGLED BODY.

An airman flying low and circling
over the business houses of the city
Wednesday attracted much attention.
Those who eagerly watched his
movements expected to see the ma
chime strike one of the taller build
lngs. Finally the aviator quickly
veered to the south, and started in
nose spin downward at a rapid speed,
landing in the ball park on south
Main street. A large crowd eagerly
rushed there expecting to see a man
gled body and demolished machine.
Both were found to be in fine shape,
however.
The aviator proved to be Lieuten-
ant Hayes, who started from Mont
gOmery that morning to Souther
field at Americas. En- route he en-
countered a storm and was blown out
of his course, finding himself at Edi-
son. From there he resumed the trip
to his destination, and was nearly
out of gas when he reached Dawson.
He explained that he flew so low over
the business section in order to read
sign and learn where he was. He
read the signboard of the Dawson
Garage, and then remembered there
was landing station here. Think
ing the ball ground was the place he
made his descent there.
The needed gas was soon supplied,
and after short stop the visiting
birdman rose gracefully in the air
and went on his way.
The home of Lieutenant Hayes is
in Connecticut.

Russian and German
Delegates in Complete
Accord at Conference

Washington, July 31-Complcte
submission OF the Bolsheviki govern
ment to the ambitious designs of
Germany and consent to the practi-
cal German annexation OF the great
western provinces Of Russia appears
to have been the outcome OF the con-
ference which has just been held be-
tween Russian and German dele
gates for the ostensible purpose of
constructing the peace treaty Of
Brest- Litovsk. Cable dispatches
recently announced d complete
agreement between these delegates
without indicating its nature. From
sources today came the staten cnt
that the result of the conference was
a formal remuneration by the Soviet
government of any claims to the
great provinces OF Esthonia and Lii
vonia. In consequence, Courland
would be detached from t military
administration of Oberost and united
to Livonia and Esthonia in order TO
form a general government which
would be a stepping sto G for the
ultimate incorporation Of the Baltic
provinces with Germany. The tenn
porary occupation by German troops
of Esthonia and Livonia thus would
be made permanent. though those
provinces are east Of the new Ger
man frontier as defined in the Brest-
Litovsk treaty.
