"The great problem Is at length
solved The air, as we'll as the earth
and ocean, has been subdued by
science, and will become a convenient
highway for mankind! The Atlantic
has been actually crossed in a balloon,
And this, too, without difficultv-with-
out any great apparent danger-with
thorough control of the machine-and
In the inconceivably brief period of
seventy-fve hours from shore to shore,
"By the energy of an agent at Char
lesion, S. c., we are enabled to be the
first to furnish the public with a de-
tailed account of this most extraordi-
nary voyage, which was performed be-
tween Saturday the sixth instant at
eleven A. NJ. and two ?. NJ. Tuesday
the ninth instant, by Sir Everard
Bringhurst, Mr.. Osborne, a nephew of
Lord Bentinck, Mr. Monck Mason and
Mr.. Robert Holland, the wcll-known
aeronauts; Mr.. Harrison Ainsworth,
author of Jack Sheppard,' ct cetera,
and Mr.. Henson, the protector of the
late unsuccessful flying machne-with
two seamen from Woolwch-in all
eight persons. The particulars fur
nished below may be relied on as au-
thentic and accurate in every respect.

The second day after the story
appeared "The Sun" made the fol-

"The mails from the South last Sat

correspondent we detailed in our extra.
We are inclined to believe that the in

written with a minuteness and scen-

pleasure and satisfaction. We by no
means think such project impossible"
This was supplemented by an edi-
torial week later, replying to nu-
merous contemporary observations:
eve have been somewhat amused
with the comments of the press upon
the balloon express. The more intelli-
gent editors saw its object at once
On the other hand, many of our
esteemed contemp pdraries - those who
arc too ignorant to appreciate the
pleasant satirc-have ascribed TO US
the worst and basest motives, We ex-

Regarding which Mr.. O'Bricn re-
marks: "The pleasant satire of
which The Sun spoke, was evil

THE WILLIAMs NEWS :.
Senatorial Extravagances

In their opposition to the League of Nations certain Re publican Senators seem to have specialized their attacks so as to run the gamut of the racial, sectional and personal preju- dices that could be fomented as their allies. One of them rep. resents England as the author and< chief beneficiary of the League. Another pictures Ja- pan as the father of plots against the white peoples. A third denounces the harshness of the terms imposed on Ger. many. A fourth plays upon the single chord of Americanism, which he says is threatened by the provisions of the covenant. Still another alleges that a par ticular ecclesiastical control is the purpose of the League.
 If any one of these statements were true-and they are all pure assertions the others could not fail to be false. It would be absurd, for example, to imagine England or France. with their colonies in Asia and Africa, assisting the dark reces against Caucasians. It is no less ridiculous to suppose that any nation, whatever the religious persuasion of the people. would be willing to surrender it's secu- lar affairs to an ecclesiastical overlord. Even more grotesqua is the hypothesis that President Wilson and Henry White, one a Democrat and the other re- publican, both Americans. have planned or sanctioned the di- munition of American power and prestige in the League of Nations.
 It is bad enough that. these hostile senators should have recourse to silly and unjust ar guments. It is regrettable that they should ignore consistency among themselves in this cam paign of reckless misstatement. It is incomparablyworse that by innuendo, if not by direct char ges. they represent the the head of the nation and his sworn ad- visers as betraying the honor, the interests and the very safe ty of the country in behalf of foreign governments, white black or brown.
