Katherine Stinson Reaches
 Binghamton in Flight
 Chicago to New York

Binghamton, N. r, May 2s,-Kather- inc Stinson, the aviatrix, who left Chi cago this morning to fly to New York. carrying government mail, damaged her airplane while attempting landing two miles north of this city at 6:40 this evening. The machine overturned just as it reached the ground, smashing the propeller and damaging one of the wings. Miss Stinson was uninjured
 Having covered the 7s3 miles from Chicago to this city in 10 hours, Miss Stinson bettered by about nine miles the distance made by Ruth Law in her record breaking flight in the fall of 1916. She circled the city in search of a suitable landing place and finally chose small plateau on a hill north of the city. A strong wind added to the difficulties of the landing.
 Hundreds of automobiles were raced to the landing place and help was soon at hand after the plane came to a stop. Miss Stinson, apparently none the worse for her nishap. directed the work of fighting the machine.

Swift's Son-in-Law
 Loses Fight to Gain
 Freedom by Habeas Corpus

Chicago, May 23.-The plea of Count James Minotto for freedom on writ of habeas corpus from interment on pres- idential warrant was denied late today by Federal Judge Carpenter.
 The judge withheld reading of the de- cision until il o'clock tomorrow to allow the count to pass the night with his wife, Countess Ida May Swift Minotto, daughter of Louis F. Swift, packer.
 The counts counsel had admitted the government attorneys disclosure that the counts father, Count Demetrius Minot- to. was born in Vienna and not in Ven- ice. though the Minotto family Is de- clared to be of ancient Venetian lineage. The count had never denied that he was born in Germany.
 '1f ruled in favor of petitioner, said the court, "the President of the nation would be powerless to deal with the thousands of men in this country who were born in Germany of parents foreign to Germany said the judge in deliver ing his finding. q believe that law was devised to include all men born in Ger many and raised and educated in that country and who might have all their sympathies with Germany
 After adjournment of court Count Mi- notto said.
 "No matter what the outcome Is, still will be loyal to this country.
 It is believed an attempt will be made to carry the case to higher court.

 The measure also carries rider pro hibiting the use of the funds to pay salaries of men of draft age who have been given deferred military classifica- tion, where exemption is based solely on the ground that they are employed in the department of agriculture in1is- pensable work.
 The dry amendment was fostered by Representative Randall of California, prohibitionist. It's opponents argued vainly against any attempt to coerce the President, and insisted that suci, action would not hurry the President into exercising his authority to prohibit the manufacture of liquor during the war.

By the Associated Press

German operations for a re- sumption of the great offensive along the western front are re- ported to have been completed, and the Teuton legions are awaiting the command once more to launch themselves at the lines from which they re- coiled in the first two major operations of the drive. Allied leaders believe the German blow will be struck in a few days, and are awaiting with su- preme confidence the trial of strength which may prove de- cisive.
 In the meantime. only the artillery and aerial forces of the contendsng armies are showing great activity. KemmeL on the line to the southwest of Ypres, Is again marked by heavy bom mbardment, while further south guns continue to rumble. The German of ficial report mentions frequent French infantry attacks on the western bank of the Avre, but these probably were local operations, which were carried out for the purpose of gaining bet ter defensive positions or disturbing the enemy in his preparations for the next great battle.
 In the air, however, the fighting has seemed to grow in intensity. From every sector along the front, especially those where there have been terrific struggles in the past couple of months md by portions of the line held ny the American armies. aerial squadrons have been
 engaged in combats in which heavy losses have been inflicted.
 American nfrmen have made their appearance the Lys bnt- tlefieId, according to the German
 official report. which says that three American machines, were
 brought down Wednesday. This is
 the first time that American av- fators have been reported on this part of the front. and 1t Is prob- able that they are attached to the
