Two Frenchmen
Escape From a
German Prison

Paris, March 1S.-(Correspondence
If The Associated Press. )-In escap-
ing from a German military prison,
Lieut.. Roland G. Garros and Lieut..
Antoine Marchal, the two celebrated
French aviators, repeated the exploit
of the famous German Captain Koe-
penick." After having been twice
caught and punished for attempting
10 "take French leave" Garros and
Marchal recalled how gullible the peo-
Pile and soldiers proved themselves in
the case of the shoemaker Voigt who,
under the name of captain Koepe-
mix" and in an officers uniform laid
everything under contribution and
was saluted and honored as only a
German military officer could be.
So they made French blue horizon
cloth uniforms resembling as closely
IS possible those of German officers.
When they were finished all they had
to do was simply to walk out of their
prison, out of the camp and out of the
town, saluted on every hand by senti-
ne's. soldiers off duty and civilians.
Once clear of the town they dotted
the uniforms and made their way to
the frontier of Holland by rail quite
comfortably. Their greatest difficulty
was in crossing the line. 1t took them
three days during which they crept on
hands and knees backward and for
wards alternately, lodging sentinels.

Petition for
Canal $50 Mi.
Long in B. Aires

Buenos Aires, April ga syndi-
cate of capitalists has Just petitioned
the minister of public works for con-
cession permitting the construction of
of a navigable canal from Buenos
Aires to the city of Cordoba, dis
lance of $50 miles. The route of the
proposed canal is through the richest
grain lands of the republic and the
project is designed to facilitate the
movement Of agricultural products to
the port. The petition was signed by
Charles E. Shaw.
1t is proposed to begin the canal
near the outskirts of the federal dis
trict, connecting it with the little
Riachuelo river which runs to the port
and which at present accommodates
vessels from all parts of the world
which have come here for grain, wool
and hides. From this point, the canal
would extend westward, crossing the
northern part of the province of Bue-
nos Aires and trayersing the rich ag-
ricultural province of Santa Fe to the
boundary of the province of Cordoba,
whence the direction would be north
west through the department of Santa
Maria to the city of Cordoba.
Ports would be built in the cities and
towns of Moron, Rodriguez, Mercedes,
Chacabuco, Junin, Arenales, Teodoli-
ma, Venado Tuerto, La Carlota, La La
guna and San Antonio. Westward
from Villa Maria, the canal would
parallel the right of way of the Cen
trail Argentine railway for 13 miles
to San Antonio from which it would
run northward to the city of Cordoba.
The syndicate equests a conces-
sion permitting it to operate the canal
for seventy years after which the en-
tire work will be turned over to the
nation, the syndicate agreeing during
the seventy wears to operate the canal
at tariffs lower than those of the rail-
ways. A representative of the syn
dictate says the capital for digging the
canal has been subscribed.
The idea of a cana from Cordoba to
Buenos Aires is not a new one. The

Chicago Red Cross

Passing Through

Chicago, April 29.-Tired and trav-

soldiers of the United States travelling
through this city are being cheered
most effectively by the "canteen serv,

American Red Cross.

les, magazines, books, and tobacco
all these are given to the travelling
troops.
For several months the service has
been conducted under secret orders
the Red Cross being notified an houl
in advance of the arrival of all trains
carrying boys in khaki. Members Of
the unit are the only persons in Chi
cago informed in this manner of the
movement of the soldiers.
Women of social note have been
most active in this volunteer work
The success of the service is attested
by the erection, now under way, of the
triple A" building, which will be-
come the headquarters of the unit.
Distribution of food delicacies, tobac-
co and reading matter, however, is not
the entire scope of the unit. Service
is the watchword. Postcards are sup
piled the men that they may write
home. Messages are taken and promp-
tly attended to by members of the
unit. Many soldiers are given friend
ly Hello" to acquaintance and rela-
tives.
/. When word is received of the immi-
nent arrival of a troop train, automo-
biles the use of which is given for this
work, are sent with well-filled baskets
to the depot. The workers pass the
baskets through the coaches and gain
reward for their efforts from the I'M
qualified delight that shines from ev-
cry bronzed face.

Affirming that the fight against the
German-American alliance must be
taken up in the various states IN the
Union and the state charters revoked,
the American Defense society today
openly commended the action taken by
the legislature of the state OF New
York which has revoked the charter
of the alliance, and in letter written
to the governors the the various states
urged them to annul the state char
tiers of the alliance. The national body
was only a clearing house for the
state bodies, says the Defense society,
and while the charter exists there will
be danger of an under-cover reorgan-
ization. New York has shown the way
by revoking the charter of its state
German American alliance and the
other states should do likewise. The
letter, which is signed by Richard NJ
Hurd, chairman of the board of trus-
tees, Henry C. Quinby, chairman OF
the executive committee, and H. D.
Craig, secretary of the Defense socie-
ty, reads:
"To the now aroused comprehension

most enormous and horrible war the

America has been wrong. America
has thought that peace is bred by
peace, but peace is bred by readiness
to fight.
We have had century of brilliance
in invention, but we have devoted ii
to inventing wonders of peace ma
chinery We should have spent the
century inventing war appliances be-
fore which no men could stand and
live. We should have created ma
chimes so deadly that an advancing
host would be wiped out to the last
man; machines that would denude the
oceans of life and make deserts OF
fertile lands.
We should have had weapons that
would make an enemy's declaration OF
war that enemy's national suicide.
Then peace would be possibility.
Perhaps we have learned the lesson.
Huns sign international treaties pro-
hibiting inhuman weapons and meth
DDS of warfare and then use them
when they choose. We know that
now. We must not be the only namby-

This nation of ours can make war
impossible. We can do it by being in

death-dealing machinery is tomorrow.

eral preparedness, every man trained
and every man ready, is today.

HOW: TO FIGHT SPANISH INFLUENZA
By DIR. L. W. BOWERS

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards, but fear neither germs nor Germans! Keep the system in good order, take plenty of exercise in the fresh air and practice cleanliness. Remember Q clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels are a protecting armour against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, it is best to take a vegetable pill every other day, made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and sugar coated, to be had at most drug stores, known as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If there is sudden onset of what appears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take hot mustard foot-bath and drink copiously of hot lemonade. If pain develops in head or back, ask the druggist for ,Anuric (anti-uric) tab lets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control the pains and aches take one Anuric tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks of lem onade. The pneumonia appears in a most treacherous way, when the in l fluenza victim is apparently recover ing and anxious to leave his bed. In recovering from bad attack of in fuenza or pneumonia the system should be built up with a good herbal tonic, such as Dr.Pierce's Golden Med- icaI Discovery, made without alcohol from the roots and barks of American
 forest trees or his Irontic (iron ton1c)
 tablets, which can be obtained at most drug stores, or send 10c to Dr. Pierce's
 Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. T., for l trial package.

RECKLESS COMBAT
 BRINGS TWO TO COURT

Isadore Nemet of 267 Spruce stnSet and Julius Weintraub of 387 Han- cock avenue, had their cases noll- ed when arralgned before Judge Bart lett in city court today. Nemet went scot free but Weintraub had to pay costs.
 The two men were arrested yester- day morning as the result of a quarrel which took place in the livery stable at 329 Pine street.
 When the police arrived on the scene in response to a complaint Nemet and Weintraub were sparring around, each with pitchfork in his hand and Weintraub was bleeding from the head, as the result of Nem- cts first score. The police sent him to the emergency hospital to have the wound dressed, and then placed the pair under arrest, charged with breach of the peace.
