WASHINGTON, Aug. p eileen E.

that American railways are being
plundered Systematically.
He said that evidence of that al
legged fact "will be withheld until it

Mr.. Plumb declared that the loot
ing exposed some years ago of New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-

er similar cases were part of a
systematic plan of looting, and that
the trial leads directly from Wall

THE OASIS is not in the habit of

som ething of the new four-column

This is not an ordinary advertise

at intervals for few weeks or few
months. 1t is a permanent advertise
ment of a great business and finan-

WAR AIR VETERANS
Both Gifted Naturally and by
Experience for Trip.

The vickers-vffny transatlantic at
tempt will be success IL the engines
and the structure Of the plane prove as
reliable during the flight as the men
guiding the big bomber have shown
themselves in the past. Both men have
war records and rendered much valiant
service before finally being brought
down as prisoners during aerial exploits
almost as hazardous as their present at
tempt to span the ocean.
Capt. John Alcock. leader of the ex-
petition, was one Of the comparatively
few Britons who could fy before the
outbreak Of the war. His knowledge OF
aviation made him exceedingly valua-
BILE as an instructor. when Britain, aIn-
prepared. set out In 1914 to build UP an
air service to repel the raids OF Yep
pelins and big German biplanes. Capt.
Alcock. who was born in Manchester in
1892, took out his first flying license In
1912. His principal pre-war exploit was
the winning. of second place in great
sporting event. the flight from London
to Manchester and return. which awoke
many Englishrnen to the realization that
flying was a fact and not a theory.

The start Of the transatlantic flight
