THE CASTLE AT LEIRIA.

tude on high. rocky hill above the
sleepy little country town. Below the
masses OF purple flowers that grow
among the great rocky near the cas-
tie. lie peaceful orchards, and through
the lacework OF their branches one
can see the cheerful red tiled roofs Of
the little white houses in Leiria. The
tiny houses seem to cuddle together
like lot OF drowsy white hens on the
low. rolling green lands bound by the
silver ribbon of the River Liz.
On the adjoining hill. opposite the
stately ruins Of the castle of Leiria.

me prevailing spirit OF peace that
hangs over eYerything-the tiny white
town, the dignified convent. the low
hills covered by pine and heather that
stretch away in the distance-seems
to pervade even the mighty donfons
and grim archways Of the castle. only
the faintest possible echo of those
stormy days when armored knights
changed their way through the valley
TO the castle gates is present in the
noble ruins Of today.
The castle is really a castle within
a castle. for the original medieval
structure was built by the Moors cen
turtles ago. Then. later, in the 18th
century, king Dinez built about the
remains OF the Moorish stronghold
the exquisite Gothic palace that forms
the outer castle Even now some of
the charming oval windows and the
slender pillars Of the pointed arches
bear mute witness to the once grace
ful outlines Of the French architecture
Of the castle.

MILLIGAN, FORMER FITZ
PITCHING STAR, KILLED
IN AIRPLANE WRECK

q. M. Milligan, Fitzgerald's we'll be-
loved star pitcher in the old Big Four
League two years ago, was killed at
Fort Worth, Texas where he was a
cadet in the flying school at that
place. Milligan is we'll known here
as one of the best pitchers, hitters,
and scrappest baseball players that
ever handled the leather on Fitzger-
AIDS baseball field.
Milligan came to Fitzgerald after
successful season on Auburn's
baseball team, having made all-south-
ern and proven himself star. From
here he went to birmingham, Ala,
where he played season with that
team in the Southern league, cover
ing himself with honor as a slab star.
lie pitched several shut out games
tor Birmingham and was fairly idol
zed by the fans of the smoky city.
From Birmingham he was recruited
by thine Pittsburgh National league
team and seemed about to bud into a
big league star when he heard his
country cali and enlisted in the avia.
ton corps.
He was in the machine with Lieu
tenant Sidney Greene at Fort Worth,
when the aviator lost control and
plunged to instant death. Milligan's
injuries were not considered serious
until yesterday when complications
became evident and he succumbed.
With his death America loses a sp1en
did aviator, made of hero stuff, and
fandom loses perhaps on of the
brightest, prospects for national
baseball star it has ever had. His
many Fitzgerald friends will be sad
to learn of Marcus Milligan's death.

Americans Cross Plateau to Aisne.

WITH THE AMERICA-M FORCE
NORTH OF THE VESLE, Sept. s.
The American forces following up
the German retreat from the Vesle
moved steadily over the plateau be.
tween the Vesle and the Aisne today
and by noon their advanced elements
had filtered into the slopes on the
northern side of the plateau. Vir-
tually no opposition was encountered.
Aerial and other observers reported
that there was every indication that
the main body of Germans had re-
tired across the Aisne
1t is expected that machine gun and
perhaps artillery resistance will be en-
countered in the lowlands nearer the
Aisne. Last night ad this forenoon
passed, however, with nothing more
serious than a long range lombard
