Drops
From AirbLGme
In q Parachute

With the American Army in
France, Tuesday, July 30.-(By The
Associated Press)-Captain Sarret, a
French aviator, has carried out the
first experiment on record Of falling
from a moving airplane with para
chute.
Captain sarret dropped 500 yards
with an umbrella IL yards in dame
ter and landed safely. He occupied
and fell from the observers position,
but similar experiments for the pilot
will be undertaken soon.
The aviator crawled out Of his
seat when the plane was above
smooth ground and hung by his
hands with the parachute firmly at
tached to his body and lightly at
tached to the airplane. When he
jumped the parachute opened per-
fectly and bore him gently to the
ground where he landed unframed.
This is the first time that an avi-
ator has jumped from machine
with a parachute. Experiments in
the past have been made with sand
bags which were cut loose at varying
heights.
Although Captain Sarret's trial
was made at height Of 500 meters,
it is declared there is no obstacle
to jumping a greater distance, since
the parachute has an even better
chance to open. When successful,
the employment Of parachutes win
save the lives Of many aviators. Air
men will be able to leave their flam-
ing machines and will not meet
death as did Major RaouI Lufberry
on May 10.
Captain Sarret was in the air
about three minutes after he had
cut loose from the airplane.. He was
completely composed on landing and
wrote a brief message describing his
sensation during his descent.

AMBASSADORS
. NOW IN LAPLAND
Leave Archangel Just In
Time and Cross The
White Sea

Kandalaska, Russian Lapland, July
80.-(By the Associated Press.)-
The allied embassies. which recently
left Vologda for Archangel, were
not permitted to remain in Archan-
gel and have arrived in Kandalaska.
The embassies left Vologda July
% in response to a message of M.
Tchitcherin. Bolshevik foreign min
lister, declaring they were in great
danger and that a bombardment Of
Vologda was threatened for the next
day. He urged the embassies to
come to Moscow, but the ambassa-
doris decided to proceed to Archan
gel, where they expected to commu-
nicate with their governments.
At Archangel, the Soviet, acting
under orders from Moscow, refused
to permit them to remain, but placed
two small Russian ships at their dis
posal and aboard these they left
July %, escorted by a Russian traw-
Ter. on an uneventful voyage across
the White Sea.
The night they were leaving
Archangel, it was reported the Mos
cow government had ordered the
sailing Of the ambassadors be pre-
vented.

Paris, July 31.-French aerial OBJ
servers, says The Matin, report that
there are signs behind the present
German battle front, of preparations
for continuation of the retirement
northward. The enemy is destroying
much material and big fires have
been seen.
Strong German reaction Tuesday
shows, in the opinion of other French
military experts, that the enemy is
determined to postpone the retreat
to the Vesle as long as possible, not
withstanding the wastage, in man
power that policy involves.
The Germans yesterday, according
TO NJ. Hutin in The Echo de Paris,
threw in five of their best reserve
divisions in a counter attack be-
tween Fere- en -Tardenois and Ron
cheres, without appreciate effect
against either the French or the
Americans. The German crown
prince has a number Of good reas-
ons for holding up his retirement TO
the Vesle. First, he may desire to
prevent the French from using the
Soissons-Le Ferte- Mildon railway;
main Paris Nancy railroad which
parallels the Marine; within range Of
his heavy guns, and, third, he may
want to remove his material without
too much damage to the Vesle line.
Furthermore the Germans would
be unable to use the 3heims-S ois-
sons road If they retired to the
Vesle Also they would have their
backs against the Aisne which would
not simplify the means Of COM
munication in the rear. =

'The powers that be are convinced
nothing short Of fate can dethrone
them and think if they are able to
hold on, until the autumn crops their
position will be quite secure. Many
of the factories in Moscow and vi
cinity are working, but the labor
is scarce. There is cotton aplenty,
but it is impossible to ship any to
other parts OF Russia, which are
crying out for it.
thousands of miles of trunk rail-
roads are paralyzed because of the
lack Of rolling stock and fuel. The
whole railroad system is terribly
disorganized and repairs are impos-
sible because there are no skilled
workmen.
The erstwhile busy Volga river is
almost entirely deserted. Ships are
rotting away and the country's high
roads are in a dreadful state
through neglect"

ling their superior attainments. And
there has been some sort Of special

much about baseball, save that it
looked kind Of blue for the majors,
but that shipyard and steel plant
teams had q, great opportunity
O'Brien is a confirmed patriot and
there is no one in the world more
anxious to see the war won and
