SUI UCCESSFUL FLIGHT ACROSS
THE ANDES MOUNTAINS In
BUENOS AIRES BY AIRPLANE
Try Associated Press.)

Buen0s Aires, June 17.-After many
fruitless attempts, the Argentine mill
tary flying corps has achieved its one
great ambition-the crossing of the
Andes mountains in a heavier than
air machine. Although the Andes had
been crossed by balloons, no one ever
had been able to get over them with
an airplane, though many tried. and
George Newberry, the son of an Amer
lean, lost his life in the attempt some
years ago.
The successful flight has just been
made by Lieutenant Louis G. Candle
laria of the Argentine army in
machine of eighty horsepower.
Because of the many failures and
the dangerous air currents, the War
Department refused to permit any
more attempts to be made in the re-
gion near Mendoza and gave its con-
sent to Candelaria's flight only ON
condition that 1t be made on the thir-
ty-ninth parallel Of latitude
The flight was made from Zapala,
Argentina, to Cunco Chile, a straight
line distance Of approximately 112
miles. The mountain ranges in this
region have an altitude Of 5000 me-
ters and 1t is believed that the flight
was made at a much higher altitude
to permit landing facilities in case OF
accident. The crossing was made In
part of the country which has little
telegraphic communication with the
outside world and the details of this
record flight were not expected un-
til Lieutenant Candelaria returned to
Puenos Aires to make his report to
the War Department.
Candelaria is one OF the most prom
ising of the Argentine aviators. He
completed his flying course in six
months
Just before his successful flight
Candelaria made several trial flights
for altitude to put his machine to q
severe test before trusting it to the
winds Of the Andes.

LARGE SHIPMENTS OF CEREALS
TO THE ALLIES IN APRn.

Buenos Aires, June 17-Large ship
ments of cereals to the Allies were
made from this port in April in ac-
cordance with the cereal convention
between this government and those Of
Great Britain and France.
That the cereal convention Is bring
ing reciprocal advantages to the Ar
gentine is evident from the fact tha-
seventeen of the vessels brought 49,
349 tons of general cargo and eleven
brought 29,950 tons of coal. In addi
tion to these, several other ships OF
various nationalities arrived in bal.
last to load grain.
Cereals continue to arrive at thl
ports of Buenos Aires and Rosario by
the trainload every day and at Ro
ssrio alone the eight Allied cerea
brokers have 100000 tons of whea
stored, in addition to large holdings
OF other cereals. Calculating tn
value Of this wheat at the price agree
upon by the Allies, the warehouse,
wheat at Rosario alone is worth 2
million pesos.
Black-listed and enemy firms ais
have stored large holdings of cereals
the value Of which cannot be calcu
lated at present.

ENGLISH WOMEN CAN NOW BUY
HIGH TOP SHOES FOR FIRST
TINE In MORE THAN A YEAR
(By Associated Press.)

London, June 17.-Women Of Eng
land are to have the privilege Of pur-
chasing shoes with leather tops more
than Z inches in height for the first
time in more than a year. But the
Army Council has relentcd for only
two months from June l and did 50
only then at the earnest appeal of u
deputation of shopkeepers catering to
those demanding the smartest things.
After July 81 no more high shoes may
be purchased for an indefinite period.
The high style has not gripped Eng
land as it has America in recent
months. The owners OF the usual shoe
stores have been little exercised by
the order limiting tops to seven inch
es and did not display much interest
when the ban was lifted. They stated
that the average English woman, par
tcularly at this time, wants "sensi-
bic" shoe and trade in those foot
or so high will be confined to ultra
fashionable, light weight productions

CONDITIONS in GERMANY

word, virtually is dead in Germany

several comrades, recently escaped
from a prisoner of war camp In Ger
MANY and reached France and VINO
Is on a visit to his father here.
According to his story, countless
stores in Germany were closed ana
emnty and everything that is being
manufactured is for war purposes
and for the state,
The meat ration he said, was $50
grams, one-half pound, per week, to
which was added one-tenth OF a
pound of grease or fat. Sugar and
coffee were only dimly remembered
Injuries. The beer was virtually un-
drinkable, and the people were LIVING
on potatoes and beets. The bread Is
said to be indigestible.
Leather had almost entirely disap
peared, and the soldiers at home ant
many civilians wore wooden-sole'
shoes almost exclusively. Soldiers
home on furlough were no longer per
mitted to spend all their time Wit
their families or friends but mos
work part time in the factories
The morale of the civil and militar
population, Vuillemet says, is main
tanned by the continual spreading q
stories about an alleged "desperat
i situation in France" and German vic
tories, which are loudly proclaime
/ by the ringing of bells not yet seize

mans wages paid before the war
Many earn double this sum by over
time. The wage is not now consid-
cred unusual because in the same
factories skilled men workers earn
as much as 100 lire per day a sum
once equivalent to $40 and before the
war the average pay per month OF a
bookkeeper.
Women not working in such gov
ernment supply factories have latel'
struck for 50 per cent increases in
the dressmaking and clothing estab'
Ilishments, and obtained their demand
now receiving an average of lir'
per day. Unskilled women and girls
are also so highly paid on the farm
that servants are difficult to find.
