Captain A. E. Simonin, Augustus Post,
secretary Of the Aero Club of America,
and John TarboX of the Curtiss Com
pany. The official reading taken from
the two sealed recording barographs
carried in the triplane gave an alti-
tude of 90,700 feet. Both readings were
identical.
The flight breaks the record set by
Major r. W. Schroeder at McCook
Field, Dayton, Ohio, on September 18.
1918, when an altitude Of $4,000 feet
was attained. This was achieved in an
American built British Bristol fighter
equipped with an American built His
pano-Suiza motor.
Rohlfs's machine is the famous Cur
tiss triplane, known as the Wasp"
which was designed as two-place
fighting machine for the American
forces. 1t was completed lust before
the ar1nistice was signed In two
flights made by Rohlfs it broke two
worlds records by climbing $4,000
feet in ten minutes, and reaching a
speed of 160 miles an hour.
In yesterdays flight Rohlfs took off
in seven seconds at 1888 o'clock in
the afternoon and landed again at
5:28 o'clock. Despite the fact that
he wore two sweaters, three pairs of
socks, two pairs Of woollen trousers
and a fur-lined leather suit he suf-

Similar Movement
All OUer Country

This attempt to centre the control
over the schools under a power distinct
from the local political administration
Of the city has been going on now,
with constant changes in the direction
Of autonomy. for nearly three quarters
OF century, not only in New York
but all over tho country. Along with
this has been the movement moro and
moro to centralize control over all
schools in the state rather than in any
local authority. Before this started
each school district was a law unto It,
self. The establishment Of the first
State Board of Education, about 1850,
really marked the beginning Of the
change.
The "gchool executives" hero point
out that many of the larger cities Of
the country have given their school au-
thorities such autonomy. They also
claim that under autonomy It will be
possible for them to make plans for tho
schools years in advance, instead Of
working from hand to mouth as 1T
present, and TO save up money from
one school year to the next TO meet

PARIS, July 80 (By The Associated

sides. They have cut off the Ameri-
can relief supplies and threaten all
the remaining Armenians with ex-
termination unless additional military
protection is afforded, according to dis
patches from Major Joseph c. Green,
of Cincinnati, who is directing the
American relief administrations work
from Tiflis.
Herbert Hoover. Director General of
Relief, Immediately submitted Major
Green's message to the peace confer
ence, which already had similar re-
ports from other American and British
observers.
Major Green, under date of July %,
sent the following from Tifis:
"Had a long conference with the
Armenian president to-day. The sit
uation is worse. The Turkish army.

vancing. from three sides. If mill
tary protection is not afforded to
Armenia Immediately, the disaster
will be more terrible than the mas
sacres in 1915, and the Armenian
nation will be crushed, to the ever
lasting shame of the Allies.
Relief work Is impossible in the
present situation unless order is re-
stored. Cannot something be done
to have the British forces in the
Caucasus intervene to save Armenia 2"
Under date Of July "a, Major Green
telegraphed:

Roland Rohlfs Reaches
80, 700 Feet, Americas
Highest Official Mark

Roland Rohlfs, flying a Curtiss 400
horsepower triplane, broke the Ameri-
can altitude record at Roosevelt Field.
L. l., yesterday. For three hours he
fought a 100-mile an hour gale six
miles above the earth and attained an
official altitude of 30,70O feet.
Although the fight does not estab-
lish worlds record, it is the first
time an officially observed flight has
exceeded 10000 feet. The altitude of
33,136 feet attained on June IA last by
Adjutant Casale at Villa Coublay,
France, was not officially observed.
Rohfs's fight yesterday was attained
against succession of unforeseen cir
cumstances. For thirty minutes he
drove his machine at $50 miles an hour,
10000 feet above the earth in q tenn
perature of 25 degrees below zero in
vain effort to send it further upward.
Throughout this period his motor was
chilled and the gale on the fringe of
the earth's atmosphere was steadily
driving him out to sea.
Motor Cold, Gas Gone
Six miles above the ground he let 20
his controls, climbed over the cowl and
attempted to cut the rubber pipe carry
ing water to his radiator in an effort
to warm up the chilled motor. Failing
in this, he next attempted to cut up q
pillow in strips and jam it in the
radiator, but the violent wind tore the
strips out of his hands.
During his battle with the clements
Rohlfs used up every drop of the fifty-
seven gallons of gasoline he carried
for the flight and landed with dead
engine.
II would have established q worlds
record" he said. "but for the gasolene
l used. BY the time had reached an
altitude OF 10000 feet the gasolene
pump became air bound, and was COM
PEELED to use the hand pump for more
than two hours"
Throughout the flight Rohlfs's wife
aaxiously watched the machine mail r.

The Case for
Self-Detern,ination

Blame for most Of the evils from
which the administration of New
4ork's schools now suffers is laid at
the door of the city authorities by DR.,
Ettinger and Auditor Cook They are
the school executives" In particular
they allege that the city administra-
ton seeks to usurp control of both
the school administration and It's
policies by means Of financial restr;c
tiohs, that the schools are lin n
financial straitjacket," that the poll
ticians are trying to seize powers re-
served to the Board of Education and
the State Board Of Regents by state
law, and that, as result Of all this
serious injury has been done to school
efficiency and the morale of the work.
ing force.
What the school executives" de.
mand is complete freedom from CITY
control-autonomy, except for the mild
and distant authority of the State
Board Of Regents. They deny the
right of the Board of Estimate to
amend their budget, except as to the
total amount to be appropriated, and
not at all as to specific uses: of the
Controller to specify the manner in
which they make their returns to hin,
or to go behind those returns, or of
the Mayor to investigate their &C.
counts.
They claim that under the present
law they have the right:
To full control Of q sum to be COL
lected and turned over to them by
the city amounting to the tax for
school purposes prescribed by state
law of 40 mills on the assessable
property in the city, sum of around
$42,OOO,000
To similar control Of the funds
paid the city yearly by the state for
the salaries of teachers, about 81
100000.
To bond issues at the discretion
Of the city for necessary construc-
tion Of school buildings.
To such further sums as thew can
show the Board Of Estimate are
needed, and to full control Of these
sums after they are once appro-
priated.
To administrative authority over
all school activities, including the
auditors department, construction,
and all other matters, such author
ity to be vested in tho superintend-
ent rather than in the Board of Edu-
cation, but under such bylaws as
the board may pass within the state
law.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-31
By Stanley Frost

The issue between Mayor Hylan and
DR.. Ettinger, the Superintendent Of
Schools, although it seems personal, is
fundamental. 1t is this:
Shall the city control it's own schools,
through its political administrative
officers. as 1t controls its Fire Depart
ment, its police system or it's Depart
ment of Streets, as Mayor Hylan says
it legally can and should?
Or
Shall the school system, now cost
ing $7o,o0o,000 a year. be autono-
nous and self-governing, as DR.. Ettin-
ger advocates?
New-York tribune., 1919-07-31

ALBANY, July 30.-Citizens of New
York State will be able to purchase
at cost surplus army foods as the re-
suit Of plan devised to-day at
meeting Of army officers and state Of
fcials.
The distribution of the food is au-
thorized by the War Department
through DR.. Eugene H. Porter. State
Commissioner of Food and Markets
Under the War Department ruling
dealers are not permitted to get any
of the food, and municipalities under
their charters have no power to pur-
chase the supplies. AS a result mayors
have been asked to designate volunteer
purchasing committee of cooperative
associations, women's clubs, consumers
leagues or other agencies which will
agree to buy and distribute the food
without profit and to consumers only.
Commissioner Porter has sent let
ter explaining the plans to the heads
of all municipalities. including Mayor
Hylan, and the chairmen of all county
boards of supervisors. The distribu-
tlOn Will at nrst be made from the big
army warehouses at Schenectady In
his letter Commissioner Porter says:
Must Buy Carload
"The terms Of sale are that not less
than a carload must be purchased, but
the order may include any of the
varieties of the foods available A car
load averages 500 to 1000 cases, and
the terms are f. o. b. Schenectady
cash with order or payment within
ten days. Where longer credit is de-
sired the merits of the case must be
passed upon by the authorities at
Washington.
"By way of suggestion, can you put
me in touch with any groups of citi-
zens, such as cooperative societies,
consumers leagues, women's clubs,
neighborhood or settlement houses,
charitable or relief organizations, hos
pital or similar institutional authori-
ties, which, independently or together.
could purchase one or more mixed car
loads and arrange for their distribu-
ton? Failing this, would it not be pos
sble for you to appoint a special com
mittee of influential and public-spirit-
ed citizens to arrange for such pur-
chase and distribution? No doubt
some of your local bankers will be
glad to assist in the financing of any
purchases"
