PARIS CELEBRATED
UNTIL EARLY HOURS
THIS MORNING
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, July 15.-Weary, but still
bent upon continuing its festivities
until the last ounce of celebrative en-
ergy had been spent, Paris kept up
its Victory Day celebration we'll into
the small hours this morning. With
each of the traditional attractions Of
the 14th of July-fireworks, free per-
formances In national theaters, and
street dancing, found its particular
crowd. The climax Of the nights
proceedings, however, was the ap-
pearance of a "Girandole," especial

AERIAL MAIL SERV-
ICE SOON TO START
DESPITE DIFFICULTIES
(By Associated Press.)

London, July 15.-Despite enor-
nous difficulties being met with In
establishing the long air route, 1t is
expected that the Cape to Cairo
aerial mail service will be in opera
ton before the year is out. The first
flight, 1t is said, probably will be
made in October or November.
Partial reports of the African sur
vey. parties now in the field detail
some of the obstacles that have had
to be surmounted Between Malakal
and Gondokoro, about 400 miles, the
Nile so mandates the country that no
suitable landing place for an air
plane could be found. 1t is there
fore proposed to use flying boat for
that stage of the journey.
A month afer the signing OF tho
armistice with Turkey the first survey
party was ready to start. Two years
previously the route from Sollum TO
I
Cairo had been used by Major Mac
Laren on his flight from England to
Egypt and aerodromes had been built
al Sollum Mersa Matruh and at AM
ria, near Alexandria, while intermed-
late landing grounds had been cleared
for emergency use. An aerodrome
had been constructed also at Khart-
un, in 1916.
For the purpose of the survey,
Africa was divided into three sections.
One party was assigned to Egypt, the
Sudan and as far south as Victoria
Nyanza. The second covered the CEN
trail stretch from Victoria Myanza
through part of what was German
East Africa to Kituta at the southern
end of Lake Tanganyika. A third
party inspected the line from Kituta
to Cape Town.

Bradentown played an excellent
game yesterday and we feel greatly
relieved to know that they came
here to play only one game. You
know it is not proper to mention the
good playing of the visiting team un-
til the wonderful playing of the home
team has been dwelled upon.
This is one time where no doubt
all those who witnessed the game will
agree with me that this is a difficult
proposition for several reasons. One
good reason Is that, that the local
obys did not play brilliant ball but
instead put up the worst exhibition
Of ball playing that has been wit
messed on these grounds this season.
Can anyone explain why our boys
showed such reverse form?
I cannot quite understand it, and
the poor teamwork displayed by our
boys was simply rank.
OF course there Is one thing we
must consider and that Is the fact
that Love is out of the game with a
! sprained ankle. This, Of course,
takes away one of our best infielders
as well as good batter, thus weak
ening our team considerably. Not
only the infeld but also the outfield
was off color for slow fielding and
misjudged flies also were responsi-
| BILE for some runs.
If the absence of Love is mostly
responsible for this, then let US send
for one-night ankle cure so we may
be able to get in the game again to-
morrow. Ery who was on the mound
for the Highlanders, was not as effec-
tive as usual and was touched up
quite freely although with perfect
fielding the two runs In the first in
ming should not have been scored.
Benedict, the first man up, hit to
right field for single which Cara
way should have copped. Burrough
was right on the job and sacrificed
Benedict to second. Foss hit for
three bases, scoring Benedict. Moore
hit to Cohen who threw the ball over
Pierre's head Foss scoring. Rood
ended it by striking out.
Lakeland had a chance to score in
the second when Pierre walked and
on an attempted sacrifice by Riva
Pierre was out at second but Riva
going to second on an overthrow to
first.

Riva at third, Benedict then ended all

ond In an attempt to steal.
Everything went along lovely un-
til the sixth inning when by some
hard hitting and some cratic fielding

t After this it was more like circus

was eighty votes less than the neces-
sary two-thirds of the members pres
ent. Party lines were disregarded
in the voting from agricultural dis
tricts--the source of the opposition
favcring passage of the bill as origin
ally enacted-with representatives
from the urban districts opposed.
House advocates of the repeal last
night said that no further effort
would be made at this session, per-
haps not in this Congress, which
continues in existence until March,
1921, to wipe out the act.
Senate leaders also indicated that
nb acion would be originated ia that
tody to repeal the measure.

INCREASED THEFTS OF
AUTOMOBILES BAFFLE POLICE
More Machines Stolen Than In Years.
Percentage Of RecOveries
Diminishes

Automobile thieves are more active
now that they have been in years, ac-
cording to information furnished to
the Herald yesterday by persons
whose business 1t is to assist the po-
lice in recovering the stolen prop
erty.
Not only has the number of auto
mobile thefts increased by as much
as so per cent in the last few
months, they say, but the percentage
OF recoveries has dropped from one
third of the number stolen to one
fifth.
The fact that insurance companies
have for some time been offering re-
wards for the return Of stolen ve-
hicles is held by some to be primary
reason for the increase Of such type
of thieving. 1t is argued that the Of.
fer of rewards encourages thievine
as the criminal can dispose of stol-
en- automobile at good price to some
one who will claim the reward.
But others, and with greater logic
trace the origin of the wave of auto.
mobile thievery to the general pros.
perity that has followed in the wars
wake. More new automobiles have
been bought so far this year than In
the entire period Of 1918, but many
have not been delivered, as factories
were thrown out of their usual stride
by war work.
This scarcity, 1t is said, has created
an abnormal demand In the second.
hand automobile market. Vehicles
that have been used bring almost the
amount of their original selling price
This demand, according to the Her.
AIDS informants, has given impetus
to the operations of organized bands
of automobile thieves, and 1t has
tempted hundreds of individuals tc

stripping the rate Of increase in the
general use of automobiles. This Il
most battling to them and to the po'
lice, it is said, in view Of the fact
that more automobiles are nov
equipped with locks and thai they
are more closely guarded than ever.
Even in face of the fact that police
detectives are now allowed to re
ceive rewards offered for the recov
cry of stolen automobiles the percent

No Extension Of Govt Ownership

Washington, July 15.-In view Of
the statement by President Wilson
that the railroads would be returned
to their owners at the end Of this
year, Chairman Esch told the House
Interstate Commerce committee to-
day it would be useless to consider

government control. Mindful OF the
sentiment throughout the country on
the question of government owner
ship, I think we should not spend
much time on that. There are many

alton.

GYPS|ES IN SPARKS
OCCUPY CITY PARK

An outfit of Gypsies travelling by
auto took possession of the city park
in Sparks the fore part OF the week.
They were n of the noisiest parties
that has been seen in this vicinity for
some time. and the shouting, hilar-
ity and apparent quarreling from
their camp could be heard far into
the night. AS soon as their presence
was noted, they were told by the
officers to pack up and leave, which
they did the following day.
Similar trouble was experienced
last season when an outfit OF Gypsies
took possession of the park. for the
purpose of making it their head
quarters, while they secured the sur
rounding country. telling fortunes,
trading and gathering unto them
selves any little thing lying loose.
They objected strenuously when or
dered to move camp.
The wal was then on in full blast
and the draft registration machin-
cry was in splendid working order.
When forced to register. the number
of strong, healthy, young men in the
outfit claimed Mexican citizenship In
order to evade army service. Soon
afterward they pulled up stakes and
left the neighborhood.
The outfit that has arrived this
season is thought to be the same
bunch that was ordered out of Car
son a few days ago.-fSparks Tribune.
