The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1918-11-13

Monday, Nov. IL. 1918 was truly
a red letter day. Cloverporters
known of old for their conservative
ness, did not celebrate Friday after
noon when the unofficial peace ru-
mors come here over the wire, but
all that was left undone that day was
fully made for on Monday upon
hearing the news that the world war
had really ended.
At seven o'clock A. M. the church
bells begun to ring. Whistles blew one
loud shrek after another. Then the
men took up the strain and sent forth
great was the emotion that pretty
soon all the inhabitants, including men
women and children and even babies
were all down on Main street having
one grand and glorious time weeping
and laughing, yelling and screaming;
waving flags, beating tin pans, wash
tubs and most anything they could
find that would make noise so loud
that it seemed as if the echo would
travel across the continent straight
through to Berlin.
Shop Men Parade
While the crowd was standing in
front of the post-office, the two min
listers, Rev. w. O. Richard and Rev.
A. N Couch called the people to a
few moments of prayer and there un-
der the heavens blue sky, these min
listers offered the most reverent and
grateful prayers while the crowd re-
manned with heads bowed.
At the conclusion of this, the L. H.
& ST. L. shop men came marching up
Main street and as they marched on
through to the East End of town the
crowd which had gathered at the
post-office joined in the parade, with
on impromptu band leading the pro-
cession. 1t was memorable sight

KY. AVIATOR
KILLED IN
B'KLYN
Near Mrs. Beardsley's Home
Who Is Also A Kentuckian
From Lodiburg.

A clothespole planted in the rear
lawn of the home of Henry d. Lott,
at No. sol Ocean avenue, Brooklyn,
brought about the deaths of First
Lieutenant E. H. Austin and Second
Lieutenant Charles L. Kenny, Jr.,
United States army avators, when
they sought to make a forced land
ing of their airplane there shortly
before 10 o'clock this morning.
The aviators from the Mitchell
Field at Mineola, had been manuevr-
ing over the Flatbush section of
Brooklyn from early morning. Once
they had been driven to a landing in
Prospect Park by engine trouble, but
promptly took the air again.
A second time the missing of the
engine caused them to land on the
Parade Grounds south of Prospect
Park Nothing daunted, they made
another ascent and still another de-
scent on the Parade Grounds.
Thousands See Crash.
By this time their flying was being
watched by thousands of persons
from the streets and homes, and hun
dreds had hocked to the Parade
Grounds. These saw the two men
start the engine of the big observa-
ton airplane-a Curtiss J. N. H.-4
equipped with an Hispanola engine
and once again soar skyward
They had gone up only about
500 feet when the humming of the
engine came to sudden stop. Once
or twice its cylinders barked errati-
cally as Lieutenant Austin, plotting
the machine, tried to get it running.
When he found he could not he
tried to volplane back to the Parade
Grounds about ten blocks away, but
the machine was defending too
swiftly.

skimming the roof of the Erasmus
High School, circled the spire of the
Dutch Reformed Church at Church
and Flatbush avenues. shot over AL
bemarle place. Then, the pilot pluckly
and cool in his extremity, selected the
Lott lawn as the likely place for a
landing in some degree OF safety.
Pole Brings Disaster.
Doubtless he and Lieutenant Kenny
would have escaped injury beyond
rough shaking up, for Lieutenant
Kenny had the controls in command
and was bringing the airplane's nose
up so that its rear wheels might touch
the ground with the right balance,
when the clothespole interposed to
cause a fatality
The clothes pole thrust through
the tail planes which ripped and
snapped and just as the machine
touched the ground it was thrown
heavily to one side. The fuselago
overturned, burying the aviators,
locked in their seats beneath it, and
crushed their heads.

Woman,s World Almanac.

On Aug. II, 1907, the first steamboat,
the "Clermont,' made trial trip on the
Hudson river, covering the distance from
New York to Albany, in SO hours, jour
ney which had formerly required seven
to ten days.
Robert Fulton, the inventor of the
steamboat, had invented various ma
chimes, faxspinners, rope twisters and
canal locks and had been continually oe-
cupied with these inventions up to the
time he turned his attention to the sub.
ieet of steam navigation in American
commerce, which was then considered
practically impossible He had made
many failures, but he must have taken
for his motto the old saw, .'If at first
you don't succeed, try, try again." for
he persisted-~and succeeded
There are now no details of the con-
struction and cost Of the first steamboat
extant, but Fulton left written descrip-
ton of the trial trip, which is often quot
ed. The boat was probably propelled by
beam engine with the paddle wheels
mnclosed, and may have been equipped
with sails.

honor OF constructing in 1914, the first
steam war vessel ever built by the Unit
ed States.--In Woman's World for Au-

Drove Germans Back into
Valley of the Ardre

NEAR POURCY
NORTH OF MARINE
Germans Had Been Harry
ing the Italians All
Day Long

On the French Front in France,
Wednesday, July l7.--tBy Associated
Press) While both the enemy and al
lied armies generally were marking time,
the Italians tonight carried out brill
liant counter attack near Pourcy, north
of the Marine, after the Germans had
harried them by incessant attacks during
the day. They drove the enemy back
into the valley of the Ardre river.
Other sectors both north and south of
the river Marine saw many small local
actions, but nothing partaking of the
character of general action.
Numerous hand to hand encounters oc-
cured
The enemy still is trying hard to make
progress toward Epernay by way of
Nenteuil on the north and Ceuilly and
Montvoisin on the south of the Marine.
Montvoisin changed hands several times,
the French eventually gaining some
ground.
Nowhere along the front did the Ger.
mans obtain an advantage during the
day Heavy fighting with constant at
tacl<s and counter attacks have been
taking place in the vicinity Of Courton
wood, where, owing to the nature Of the
ground, the situation is most difficult.
East Of Rheims the day was com
paratively quiet but the French recap
tured some trenches in the vicinity Of
Prmay and repulsed attacks between
Beaumont and Sillery.
