NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Five to
three
That tells the story OF a revolu-
ton on the rocks. It's short way
of recounting a lost battle in the
American league meeting yesterday
It's the count that was tolled over
the enemies Of Ban Johnson.
From the battle ground where a
turbulent, loud voiced verbal engage
ment ragged for three hours, Ban
Johnson limped away. But he smiled.
Three glum insurgents" came away
murmuring of packed house, stack
ed cards and steam roller.
Messrs. Rupert, Comiskey and
Frazee were buried under a pfc Of
five to three.
Technically the fight Is over. Jofr
son is president. His comrade and
favorite Buddy" Frank Navin, is
vice president and the board of direc
tors Is stacked with his friends.

blaze Gives Financial District
Sensation Akin to Mar.
ket Break

Fire in the cellar Of seven-story
building at GO Wall Street yesterday
morning afforded the financial district
more excitement than it has expert
enced since the last break in the stock
market
Owen Conlin. superintendent of the
building, which is occupied by fifty
brokers, discovered the blaze when he
went into the cellar to change his
clothes. He turned in an alarm from
Wall and Pearl streets, but nearly
every office in the building was smoke
filled before fire apparatus reached the
scene.
Miss Katherine Daley, telephone
operator for II. P. Michaelis, became
hysterical and was rescued, almost
overcome by smoke, in hallway by
A; r. O'Connor, chauffeur for Battalion
CHIEF Walsh. She was attended by a
physician and sent to her home in
White Plains in a taxicab.

Casting Reflections ON the Men Who Gave Lives

The American Flying Club, II East

night the following statement from
Lieutenant Belvin w Maynard:

the wonderful men who gave their
lives in the cause of aviation develop
ment IN the recent transcontincntal air
race to clear up the horrible and
miserable impression that has gotten
about through the Juggling of my
statement to the Anti-Saloon League
with respect to the effect of intoxicat-
ing liquor on tliers generally
WY statement was made in good
faith to the Anti-Saloon League at
their earnest solicitation, and they,
roobing 1T of its opening paragraph
ana ana giving 1T the misleading caption,
Booze Knocked Out Transcontinental
Fllers.' have, with the aid of the press,
succeeded in doing me the most serious
injustice | have ever undergone, and
have done to the transcontinental
f'iers of the race and to the Air Serv-
ice AS q whole an even more serious
injustice.
"Lie Against Colleagues
Such statements that "a large num-
ber of casualties in the race was
caused by flying with hangovers and
being drunk are absolutely false and
without foundation. and were manipu-
lated to create sensation. The very
fact that | was fortunate, by interven-
tlon of good weather in my favor, to
be constantly few miles ahead of the
rest of the flyers. is evidence in itself
that | could not have based my opinion
on the effect of alcohol on flying from
my observation of flyers in the race.
Indeed. several of those killed were
total abstainers.
The juggling of my statement has
transformed it into lie against my
colleagues in the race. when impress
sion | certainly won't allow to stand
without an emphatic and complete de-
NAL on my part. Let my statement be
now clear and not twisted to meet the
demands of those who hunger for scan
dal and sensation.
II said and l still say that many ac-
cldents in aviation are caused by over
use Of intoXicants. Aviation is game
where false move means disaster
andin any such vocation that partici-
pant needs the full use of an active
brain-not deadened. and weakened by
the effect of LIQUOR
Such an affected brain and the cor
responding reaction on the nervous
system add an unnecessary fatal hazard
to the already natural and necessary
hazard Of flying itself.

Most Remarkable Weapons
Used In Warfare

Probably the most remarkable
weapons of war ever used on the
field of battle were swarms of
bees. There are at least two well
authenticated instances of the use
of this novel and stinging war
material. The first is related by
Appian of the seige of Themiseyra,
in Pontus, by Lucullus in his war
against Mithridates. Turrets were
brought up, mounds were built
and huge mines were made
by the Romans. The people of
Themiseyra dug open these mines
from above, and thru the holes
cast down upon the workmen bears
and other wild animals, together
with sWarms of bees. The second
instance occurred in England. The
Danes and Norwegians were at
tacking Chester, held by the Sax
ons and some Gallo auxiliaries.
After adopting stoning and boiling
water remedies in vain against the
beseigers, the Saxons threw down
all the beehives in the town upon
the attackers, who were soon
routed.

STATE TO HAVE 600 MEN
IN NATIONAL GUARD

Delaware under the plans for
reorganizing the National Guard
as approved by Secretary of War
Baker at Washington yesterday,
will be entitled to but 600 men in
the guard of this State for at least
the next year. This number is
fixed on the basis of 200 men for
each Senator and Congressman in
each State. AS Delaware has two
Senators and only one Congress
man the present plan gives the
State a militia of but 600 men.
A maximum expansion to about
100000 men, or 800 per senator
and congressman, is provided for,
but the units for the time being
are to be organized on the basis
of 65 men per company of infan-
try, as appropriations for the Ma
'tional Guard for the fiscal year
1920 permit only the organization
of the guard on the basis of 200
men for each senator and repre-
sentative giving an aggregate
strength of about 100000.
