enterad the place and told Montefaro
that hiR nTnsteen-year- old son had ar
riwud IN Amhrica and wanted to see his
paHnrtt over in Manhattan. The SOL
dier would supply no details.
Denying the possibility Of such an
event as his sun in the italian army,
the ha1hur nevertheless scraped the
-whiskers off the face of his protesting
customer in racnrd time, changed his
white nnt fnr street garment and
invitad thn soldier to lead the way. At

One Of the latter. bronzcd youth
with his green-feathered shrapnel hel

was something besides the presence of
the hug that caused tears to roll from
the dark eyes of the father of one Of

The son IS Trumpeter Antonio
Montefaro, and they hadn't seen each
other in five and one-half years. The
soldier said afterward that he
should not have known his father but
for the fact that Buglar Jordan was

to find him.

Those Feminized Men

In olden times, before the war strong
men trembled for the fate of nation
whose sons were left to the effeminiz-
ing influence OF women teachers. What
chance Nculd there be for nation Of
slSsles when lhc country got into q
fight? The monopolizing of the fer
,uls by he fair WAS one OF the signs
Of the times which pointed to the
downfall cf TIN Republic.
These female moulded men of ours
are now in France and England. Rud-
yard kiplinS has been to see them.
Now, no one would suspect the author
Of the "Fcmals of the Species" Of a
special bent for she-mcn. Yet the
worst effect of their cffeminization
that Kipling noticed, and he did not
complain Of this, was a dsinclination
to obscenity. He reports of his inter
view:
Il heard the story Of a regiment that
had recovered some of its men mutt
lated by tn" Huns. No detail was
slurred, and the tale ended 'The Ger
Nv hat happened ncxt?' asked.
"'rhc voice told me what had hap
pened, and it was not at all q pleasant
happening for the Hun. Yet the same
man minute aftcrward carefully
used a watered- down cuphcmism for
an clemcnta! fact, which an English
man, or for that matter an English
woman, would have got at in one word
The Americans were inclined this way
a generation ago. because even then
they were very generally educated by
women, and womans share in their
education has increased since. They
uoliVer themselves OF whole sentences
through which one can almost hear and
sec the intense uplifting womankind
who gave the entirely virile sentiment
its funnily feminine cloak"
AS to the Sissy product of the Ameri
can school mistress. Kipling remarks:
"But of all creatures the woman
taught man is quite the most unprofit-
able to irrtatc or bully. In addition
to normal male wrath, his acquired
delicacy is outraged and he finds him
self at whitc-hot feud with the system
which makes such things possible
Then he goes to the limit and beyond
and is as impertinent as woman
aftcrward. Like woman, too. he
cleans up behind him with acids and
dlsinfectants.'
If we understand Mr.. Kipling now.
the female taught OF the species is
r1orc deadly than the male taught
That being the case, we shall leave to
our enemies all further worrying over

Flight Across Atlantic Proves
Modem Version of Poe's "Hoax"
Crcumsanal Story of Aeropane Trip, Printed Yesterday
Throughout the Country, Was Written Merely to
Show That Such Thing Is Possible

Flying across the Atlantic in an i'm
aginary aeroplane, keeping an imagi-
Eary log Ell route, taking imaginary
photographs and making an imaginary
chart of the whole imaginary trip are
productive Of valuable scientific data
that may be useful to any aviator who
may happen to be bold enough to want
to make the fight in reality.
This was the explanation offered
yesterday by those who were held in
directly responsible for widely pub.
lished story that transatlantic flight
from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, to
Dingle Bay, Ireland, had been achieved
IN exactly "a hours and 10 minutes.
The flight, which was every whit as
clrcumstantial as Edgar Allan Poe's
balloon HOAX" purported to have
been undertaken in honor of the birth
day of Alan R. Hawley, president of
the Aero Club Of America, and to have
been successfully accomplished last
July, but for some reason kept secret
Scientific data, charts of the route
taken and descriptive local color were
produced in sufficient abundance to
convince the Omitted States Naval In
stitute Proceedings" published at An
napols, that the flight was bona fde.
Newspaper Offered $4,000
The story proved to be a hoax, but
not until after it had been publish ed
throughout the United States as a fact
kilograms and long distance telephone
calls poured into the Aero Clubs head
quarters at 297 Madison Avenue, asking
for more details of the flight. Even
"rhe London Daily Mail" which has a
standing offer of $4,000 for the first
transatlantic flight, cabled to know
whether it would have to pay the
money.
Then the hoax burst. The editor OF
the magazine which first published The
story explained that the flight was
"hypothe cal"-merely done with pencil
and paper to develop scientific data
Mr.. Hawley explained that the only
thing about it that he knew to be true
was mis- birthday. And the authorities
at Washington begun an inquiry to
find out why the Omitted States Naval
Institute Proceedings" had permitted
itself to be the medium of such d
story. Fl
1t happened this way: Last August
"Flying," an aviation magazine, pub
lished at $50 Madison Avenue, became
impatient that no one was trying to
fly across the Atlantic. For nl4ny
months the magazine had contendet

OverseasCap for Overseas Only

Many officers and soldiers who have
retuened from overseas service have
been seen about American cities wear
ing the overseas caps. instructions
against this practice appear in Changes
No. 5, Uniform Regulations, which we
published August 81. The overseas cap
is not intended to be worn in the
United States except upon arrival a,
the port of embarkation by officers
and upon arrival at emb.rsation camps
by enlisted men who are preparing for
immediate departure. Those who are
on duty in the states will be instructed
to wear the campaign hat or the SER
vice cap. Troops returning to the
United States will be allowed to weal
the overseas cap until they have
reasonable opportunity to obtain the
headgear prescribed for use in this
country.--Army and Navy Journal.

that the thing could be done. Then it
got Alfred +. Poor, son of Professor
Charles E. Poor, to write a description
OF an imaginary trip, just to show how
to do it.
Not Detail Missing
Mr.. Poor believes in details. He gave
a circumstantial account of the Jour
ney, not forgetting local color, con-
versations while flying with "Pcte," his
companion; charts, photographs and a
log. The log was the most convincing
bit of evidence. It contained records
like this:
July 1920, 1918. 7h O2m. Left
Harbor Grace. Newfound-
land. Course f. ~ N. true.

nat Jog was as convincing as the
scientific data in Kipling's "The Mid
night Mail" another imaginary aero
plane fight, and the "United State
Naval Institute Proceedings" repro
duced it. This seeming to give the re-
port semi official approval, the news
papers Of the country printed it.

said Augustus Post, secretary of the
Aero Club. at points out scientifically
the feasibility Of such a flight We
have aeroplanes in this country now
that could do it."
Washington Asks Details
Mr.. Hawley said the authorities al
Washington had telephoned him fol-
details. He said
"This story was written to show how
the different problems OF crossing the
Atlantic had already been solved, te
show the method OF taking observa
