Gen. Kenly Flies From
Capital to Mineola
New Aeronautic Chief Makes
Trip in Big Italian
Caproni Biplane

Brigadier General William L. Kenly,
the newly appointed chief of the Divi-
sion of Military Aeronautics, arrived in
Mineola yesterday afternoon, having
made a nonstop flight from Washing
ton.
General Kenly started from the CAPT
tai at /: AS o'clock yesterday afternoon
in the 45o-horse-power Italian Caproni
biplane, which has been flying almost
daily in New York, Philadelphia and
Washington for the last month to Gre
ate interest in the Liberty Loan. With
the general was his son, Lieutenant
Kenly. Captain Silvio Resnati, the IA
nous Italian aviator, was the pilot, and
Captain Hugo DAnnunzio, the noted
aeronautic engineer, son of the Italian
poet, was the reserve pilot.
The wind was against them and cut
down the speed of their machine con-
siderably Nevertheless they estab-
lished record for four passengers be-
tween Washington and New York.
General Kenly and his fellow air trav-
oilers said that the journey had been
pleasant all the way.

Halts Runaway Bomb
lrnperilling Warship;
Decorated by Daniels

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-How John
Mackenzie, chief boatswain's mate in
the naval reserve, by extraordinary
heroism, saved the converted Yacht
Remllk, on patrol service in European
waters; was told to-day in an announce
ment by Secretary Daniels that the
Navy department had awarded Mac
henzle the Medal of Honor and a
gratuity of $1OO.
During a heavy gale on last Decem
per II depth charge weighing several
hundred pounds broke from it's fasten-
lngs at the stern of the Remlik and
went sweeping about the deck. The
heavy seas washing over the quarter
deck made it dangerous for any one to
attempt to reach that part of the shin.
AS ofhcers and crew watched the
bomb some one saw the safety pin fall
out OF the charge. making it source of
serious danger to the vessel and crew
Mackenzie: realizing the danger
shouted Watch me! I'll get i'll" and
dashed down the deck, ninginp him
self upon the charging cylinder.
Three times the daring man almost
had his arms about the bomb. but each
time the seas tore it from him. and
once it almost crushed him. He stuck
to the task, however, and on the fourth
attempt got firm grip on the cylinder
heaved it upright on one fat end and
held 1t down until lines could be run to
hlm and he and the bomb safely lashed
Soon afterward the ship was headed s1i1u, ,'n
into the sea and the charge was carrie Il
to place of safety.
Before the war Mackenzie had
served four years in the regular navy.

Autocracy Must Be
Beaten Decisivelv.
Says Lloyd George
No Longer Room for Com
promise, Premier Declares.
Predicting Victory

LONDON, April 2S--In a special
preface to a volume containing ex-
tracts from the Prime Minister'S wax
speeches Mr.. Lloyd George says:
Il never believed that the war
would be short war or that, in some
mysterious way, by negotiation or
compromise, we could free Europe
from the malignant military autoc-
racy which is endeavoring to trampe
1t into submission and moral death.
II always believed that the ma
chine which has established it's des-
potic control over the minds and
bodies of its victims and has then or
ganized and driven them to slaughter,
IN order to extend that control to the
rest OF the world, would only be de-
stroyed II free peoples proved them
selves strong ana steadfast enough to
defeat Its attempt IN arms.
Tine events of the last few weeks
must have made it plain to every
thinking man that there is no longer
room for compromise between the
ideals for which We and our enemies
stand. Democracy and autocracy have
come 70 the Qeatn grip; one or the
other will fasten its hold on mankind.
ut is a clear realization of this is
sue which will be our strength in trials
to come. | have no doubt that free
dom will triumph. But whether it will
triumph soon or late, after final
supreme effort in the next few months.
or lone-drawn agony, depends on the
Nlgor and self-sacritice with which the
children of liberty, especially those
behind the lines, dedicate themselves
to the struggle.
There is no time for ease. delay
or debate. The call is imperative, the
choice is clear 1t is for each free
citizen to do his part"

Government Considers New
and Farreaching Re-
strictions
Goethals Demands
Increased Tonnage
Conferences Of Industrial
and Trade Leaders Con-
slider Limitations

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-New and
far reaching restrictions on imports
are in process of formulation by the
Shipping Board, to permit the furnish
ing of larger quantities of tonnage
asked by Major General Goethals, act
ing quartermaster general, for the use
of the army.
In addition to articles denied ship
ping space in the two restricted lists
already issued, it was learned to-day.
many other commodities have been
catalogued in a tentative list on which
new prohibitions will be based as soon
as investigation by the boards experts
is completed. An effort is being made
in cooperation with business men to
find substitutes for restricted articles
and materials, so that the country will
be placed virtually on self-support-
ing basis.
Trade Leaders Confer
Trade conferences now are in pro.
gress to obtain the views of industrial
leaders on the effect of trade limita-
tions. Representatives of paper, wool,
rubber, tobacco, varnish, frulI,
toy vegetable ivory, peanut and tan
ming interests, have been called into
consultation. Importers of bananas
and pineapples came to Washington to-
day prepared to approve definite ar
rangements for restricting imports of
fruits. Conferences on vacuum bottles
and meat tallow. which are on the sec
ond restricted list and have been pro-
tested, and brushes, which have not yet
been restricted, will be held later In
the week.
1t was emphasized, however. that the
holding of a conference OF trade repre-
sentativeS does not mean that decl
sion has been reached to restrict the
commodities of that trade. All pos
sble advice is being sought on the
effect OF import restrictions before any
restriction is imposed.
Guard Friendly Interests
Restrictions which might work hard
ship on friendly countries are also
being studied with unusual care before
any final action. Curtailment of the
imports Of bananas and pineapples may
mean serious loss of revenue to Central
American republics, which are the tra-
ditional friends of the United States.
For that reason the assistance of this
government has been rendered them in
providing substitutes which will be
more helpful toward winning the war
The new restrictions will be imposed
from the point of view Of tonnage
which must be supplied if the war is to
be won. 1t was made known to-day
that experts have figured that two and
one-half tons Of shipping must be kept
in constant service to supply each SOL
dier's needs in France for one year, and
on this basis it will take nearly 4,000,-
900 tons of ships to carry American
army supplies if the United States puts
the predicted force of 1900, 900 men in
Europe this year.

we pass through many progressive
stages of Observation-Disclosures,
imbecility, and moronoia. A boy is
usually in the moron stage at about
10 to II years Of age. He passes on
to the hypermoron at about fifteen
and to eunoia, or complete right-mind-

us to be hypermorons for about three

told, never go any further, remaining
hypermorons all their lives.

HOW SEATTLE GoTITs NAME.

Many easterns unfamiliar with the
story have been heard to ask How
Seattle got it's name?" The town was
named after a prominent Indian chief
whose tribe lived in the Sound coun-
try long before Seattle, the city, was
founded Or Seattle, the chief, was
born. When the town was in its in
fancy certain savages sought to de-
str0y it by massacring the popul2ce.
Chief Seattle sent his daughter, the
Princess Angelina, to warn the whites.
Thus the hostile Indians were repulSed
when they attacked the town and the
massacre was averted. For that great
act. of kindness Chief Seattle's name
is perpetuated. Seattle is so proud
of the old Indian that it has erected
a monument over the exact spot Where'
the chief was born, the stone having
a suitable inscription for the enhght-
eminent of strangers. Princess Ange-
line lived to a ripe old age, and died
not long ago in the town that bears
her fathers name.

AIR WARRIORS PREDiCAMENT.

An accident, without precedent II

already running low and some desper-
ate expedient must be attempted with
in the next two seconds. While the
pilot held his craft at an even kee'
the passenger crawled from his seat
to the wing and thence to the rigging
below. The bombs must be released
with the greatest delicacy to prevent
their exploding. Impossible as the
feat seemed, it was at last accom-
plished and the passenger regained
his seat in safety.
