PACIFIC FLER MAY
WIN U.S.. AIR DERBY

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Capt. L. II.
Smith, the fourth aviator to complete
a trans-continehtal flight in the
present race, reached Roosevelt field,
MineOla, from San Francisco, at 1850
today.
Smiths actual flying time was
given unofficially as S4h hours,
which would be nearly half an hour
faster than that Of Lieut. B. W. Nay
-nard, the hrst Elyer to complete the
cross-cOuntry flight
Smith Immediately registered a
formal complaint with Col Archie
Miller, cOmmandant OF the field, al
leging he had been held up four
hours and a half, enroute from san
Francisco to Chicago, for no other
apparent reason than to wait until
Major Carl Spatz and Lieut. E. G.
Kiel, who reached Mineola Saturday
evening, could come up with him.
These delays, Smith said, were at
RaWlins. WyO.. Salt Lake City. and
Rock Island, Ill, an hour and half
each.
Smith lost a propeller just before
reaching CLEVELAND, which forced him
out OF the lead OF the East-bond
competitors.
Spatz announced today that II he
could obtain permission from the
War Department he would abandon
the flight back to San Francisco. He
said he wished to return by way Of
the southern department and con-
duct some experiments on the Texas
flying fields which would require
several days.

URGES HONOR FOR
AIR DERBY FLERS

Congress viii be asked to grant
recognition to winners Of the army's
trans-continental air race, Congress
man Charles II. Randall Of California
announces.
Honor for the memory OF flyers
killed and injured in the race will be
included, Randall said.
What form the recognition will
take has not yet been decided. Ran
dali today s. studying precedent A
Congressional medal for the winner
has been suggested. Another suE-
gestiOn is that Congress adopt a reso-
luton memorializing those killed in
the flight.
More than 100 men who took part
in the flight and risked their lives
should be accorded unusual honor by
the nation" said Randall. They ac-
complished large results toward ad-
vanCing the whole science Of aviation.
Congress not only should take ac-
tion TO recognize and honor their
achievement, but should take advan-
tage Of this opportunity to build up
q careful and comprehensive program
for the advancement Of flying for gen.
eral civil and commercial purposes"

libefately the withdrawal Of Gen.

declared that until Germany under

with all desirable celebrity" the allies

the allied note that the delay Cin

otherwise to explain the refusal to

ment in creating the present situa-

il is stated, "the situation suddenly
has become more grave on account Of
the offensive taken by the Germans
october s. Other troops haVe- violated
the COurtland and Lettish neutral
zone, and have bombarded Lettish
positions by armored trains, airplanes
and poison gas shells. They have
threatened Riga and brought about

ton that Germany will be held re-
sponsible for any act Of hostility by
German troops directed against allied
representatives in the Baltic provin-

DISCHARGEDGLERKS
CLAIM INJUSTICE.
Six Hundred Employees in Adiu-
tant Generals Office Say
They Got ''RaW Deal"

War Department clerks and mem-
bers OF the Federal Employees Union
are much wrought up over the dis
charge without notice Of 600 en-
ployes Of the Adjutant Generals Of
fee. The War Department has wound
the whole thing up in red-tape mys-
tery. Efforts to unravel it are un-
availing.
There Is a general opinion, whis-
pered sub rosa among the war work
ers that some petty official In the
Office OF Secretary Of War Baker, lost
his head" and assumed authority
which was not his. whether his
wings have been clipped cannot be
.aseertained. In any event, his order
stands-so far.
Fired on the Spot.
Details OF the curt abruptness with
which the dismissal order was put
into effect came to light today. The
clerks were "fired on the spot" with
out regard to efficiency or even ac-
cumulation Of annual leaves
"The least the Government could
have done tor US, said one woman IN
cluded in the discharge order. was TO
give US some notice Of our dismissal.
II only for several days, 50 that we
could make arrangements accordingly
We were brought here under the
guise OF patriotism. We believe We
did our bit well. During the war
we could not resign for any cause.
The Government accepted no excuse.
Any application for resignation was
houted as unpatriotic. Now we re-
ceive the Governments appreciation
for our labor in the form OF being
kicked cut as incompetents."
The method Of dismissal was TO
have the heads Of the various bureaus
OF the Adjutant Generals office rec
ommend a certain number Of clerks
who could be spared. This list was
increased by minor officials. This
was done without consultation with
the chiefs. thus IN many cases re-
moving efficiency clerks instead Of
the inefficient ones. 1t Is charged
favoritism was rampant.
He'd undergone Operation.
One clerk was discharged entirely
upon her record of leave. She had
undergone a serious operation No
fault was found with her work.
One clerk had received several
weeks leave and visited her home In
San Francisco. While she was away,
the chief clerks office recommended
that II her dismissal was contemplat-
ed. II would be well to notify her ac-
eordingIy and save her the expense Of
a return trip to Washington. The
chief clerks office was told to mind
It's own affairs. Ten days after this
clerk returned TO her work she was
discharged.
II is asserted that the officials re
spOnsible for the discharges had
every opportunity to give adequate
notice to the employees. Clerks de-
clare the existence Of decreased ap-
propriatiOus was known at the close
Of the fiscal year three months ago.
The clerks generally absolve the
chief clerks ofAce Of any blame IN
the affair and are lookingA hard for
some one higher up"
