London, June 16.-Capt. John Al
cock and Lieut.. Arthur w. Brown, In
their Vickers-Vimy biplane, landed ut
Clifden, Ireland, completing the first
nonstop airplane flight across the At
lantic. Their trip from st. Johns, N.
f., was made In sixteen hours and
twelve minutes. The landing was
made at 9:40 O'Clock. British summer
time, Sunday. In taking the ground
the machine struck heavily and the
fuselage ploughed into the sand.
Neither of the occupants was injured.
Much Of the flight was made through
fog, with an occasional drizzle. This
hampered the alrmen considerably.
Captain Alcock explained the si-
lence of his radio instrument during
the trip by saying that the wireless
propeller blew off soon after the air
plane left Newfoundland.
ave were much jammed by strong
wireless signals not intended for us"
he added.
When word was received here OF
the accident to the machine in land
ing, arrangements were made for me-
chanics to leave London Immediately
TO make repairs.
Word came from Clifden that the
pilot and navigator of the biplane were
leaving for Galway, whence Lieuten-
ant Brown planned to travel by train
to London.
Captain Alcock, however, hoped to
be able to fly to London In the ma
chine which made the record flight
us soon us 1t could be repaired. 1t
was planned to have him give an ex-
hibition over London In the machine,
If possible.
The Aero Club received a message
from Clifden not long after the trans
atlantic fliers landed, signed by them,
which merely stated that they had
completed the flight In sixteen hours
and twelve minutes. They requested
Instructions from the club.
In reply the club telegraphed Cap.
tain Alcock: keep machine intact
until observer arrives"
The air ministry stated that certain
marks were put on the airLiane ut

ANNIVERSARY
 OF BUEN.A VISTA

The valor of American soldiers at
 Chateau Thierry, in the Argonne
 Forest and on other battlefelds of
 France will forever remain a proud
 page in the history of the United States, but it did not need these bat
 ties to show the stuff that the Anleri-
 can fighter is made of There was
 Buena Vista, for example, fought just
 72 years ago tomorrow. Of course it
 was a small battle compared to the
 great battles of the war which has
 just ended, but it was just as severe
 a test of human mettIe as any battle
 waged between 1914 and 1918.
 At Buena Vista there were 20,O00
 MeXicans, and the great majority of
 them were soldiers at least equally as well trained as the American army.
 They were commanded by Santa, Ana, who had the reputation of being a leader of great ability, and was sup posed to be invincibIe. They had all
 the odds in their favor. The flower of the Mexican forces, well armed and trained to the minute, surrounded the American force of 5, 900 men, In numbers the odds were four to one in favor of the Mexicans, and they had 8. great adva antage in position. In addition, they were fighting on their
 own soil, on a terrain chosen by themselves.
 On the morning of Washington's birthday, the two armies came to- gether. and there was sl1irmishing all day, but it was not until early in the morning of the 23rd that the real battle commenced. In the meantime Santa Ana had sent a note to General 1 informing him that he was surround ed by 20,000 men, and could not avoid being hacked to pieces and to- tally obIiterated if he risked a ba$le, but as he held the American com l mander in special esteem, he would, as 8 mark of regard, permit him to surrender internationally. Taylor
 was given an hour to reach decision, but less than minute was required for him to refuse the invitation. All day long the battle ragged, with terrible slaughter on both sides. Un- til near sunset it was doubtful who would be victorious. Toward the end Santa Ana concentrated his forces for a desperate assault on the American n center. but the batteries poured such
 a grilling fire into the enemy that soon the line began to waver. Taylor, calmly directing the fray, turned to l Captain BraXton Bragg and said: i Give 'em a little more grape, Cap tain Bragg, a little more grape!" The
 grape" was duly given, and the Mexicans turned and fled in wild con fusion.
 Buena Vista was really the decisive i battle of the Mexican war. It was
 the first great battle on Mexican soil, and it served to disabuse the Mexi-
 cans of their idea of superiority. Their
 morale was completely broken, and 1 the dispirited soldiers of Santa Ana, who fought with such despera te | valor. melted away "OId Zach" l Taylor got the Mexican goat at | Buena Vista, and after that the fn-
 vaders had everything their own way.

SAY FLAG USED
 FOR ADVERTISING
Patriotic Societies Ask for
 Law to Prevent Practice.

AppeariT yesterday before the leg
 islative committee on military affairs in Hartford relative to a bill intro 4 duced by Senator Frederic A Bartlett of Bridgeport, ito prevent and punish the dissertation, mutuation or inn proper use of the United States flag" representatives of patriotic societies
 urged the committee to pass the bin, asserting that the use of American flags or limitations of the national
 emblem should not be permitted for advertising purposes. Mrs. Sarah E. Boudren, chairman of the Bridgeport Patriotic society; Mrs. Orville Rector, Mrs. T. B. Chapman of Hartford, rep
 resenting Ruth Wyllis Chapter, D. A.
 F., spoke in favor of this bill Var ious articles on which limitations of the American flag were used were shown to the committee
 2Irs. Boulter said that she had seen knitting bags on which American flags were sewed, and that some makes of razor blades carry repre- sentations of the American flag. I'm itauons of flags on pencils, parasols, etc,, she argued, was not g. proper procedure, since the children will use them in all sorts of ways"
 She explained that many of these imitation flags carry but three stripes, instead of IS, and said that there was mo national law to protect the flag, the matter being left to state Iegisla- lures.
 Mrs. BouIter exhibited bIotters. dec orative covers of writing pads, cocoa boxes, candy boxes and other articles on which were imitation designs Of the American flag. She argued that the flag should not be used in a man. ner that would permit of it's being torn and thrown in a waste basket Mrs. Oryille Rector said that efforts were being made throughout the coun- try to have more complete laws in re- gard to the use of the flag, and re- cited an instance in which she said it required two weeks to have a Inu- tilated flag taken down in Bridgeport.

AMERICAS WAR PREPARATIONS

The work of the Division of
 Chemical Warfare, which was
 charged with the double duty of
 providing protection for our troops against the deadly gases hurled by the Germans, and of providing offensive gases even deadlier and
 means of hurling them against the Hun, is of enthralling interest. We had devised, 9 gas mask that was superior in every essential respect to any that the Allies had pro-
 duced and had made in the Govern ment's own plant 3,25S,467 of them, i besides another matter of 1,S2912S
 manufactured under contract; we | had developed and were begin
 ming to put into production a still better mask, improved from the latest French type, and had delfv-
 cred more than a quarter of a million
 at better than 40,00 a week And
 on the gas offensive side, it is no
 exaggeration to say that. had the
 war gone on to a spring campaign, the United States would have been able literally to smother the German Army. Not only had we developed methods of making, in vastly greater | quantities than any one else could produce them, all the varieties of 1 gas that had been used since the Germans introduced this weapon
 in 1915. but there had been devised l a new gas, so much more powerful
 than the deadly "mustard'' gas that 1t was estimated a shell charged
 with it would kill or incapa citate
 seventy-two times as many men in a given area as a similar charge of mustard gas! How deadly that is,
 is illustrated by the story told of an
 officer in one of the Government gas plants who sat in a chair. on the back of which another officer had inadvertently rested his hand for a moment before removing the gloves | he had worn to the gas plant; within twenty-four hours the man who sat in the chair was dead from gas burn5

A THRIFT STAMP PUZZLE.
By SAM LOYD.

There was group of us at the P. O, when a young fellow came in and, toss ing a bank note to the stamp clerk, said:
 Please give me some one-cent stamps, three-quarters as many twos as ones, three-Quarters as many fives as twos, and, to set a good example for everybody present, I'll take the balance of my money in three Thrift Stamps"
 We didn't see the denomination of his bill, and 1t makes a good puzzle to figure out the smallest U. S. bank note he could have given to pay for those stamps. Can you tell?
 We gave the puzzle to our office boy.

CONTRACTORS BACK BILL.

Connecticut contractors were back of a bill that would permit cities, if tL ey see fit. to reimburse contractors for their loss on public work under taken previous to the war. s. C. Morehouse of New Haven said that the war conditions of labor, material markets and rail shipments were such that many contractors lost money on jobs they had contracted for under the ante-bellum conditions. C. W. Blakeslee, representing the contract ors on the conpensating reservoir that now supplies Hartford with drinking water, appeared for the bill, as did J. w Rollins of Boston, con- tra ctor on the Stratford avenue bridge in Bridgeport. This act would only apply to contra ts made prior to April 6. 1917, the days of the declara- ton of war.
