WASHINGTON, May 9.-Two of the
three seaplanes which started from
Rockaway, Long Island on the first
leg of the transatlantic flight, ar
rived safely at Halifax Thursday ev-
ening.
Commander Towers, with the NC-1
and NC-3 made the trip to Halifax in
a fraction less than hours, the dis
tance on the map over the course they
took being 525 miles These two
planes went through the test in such
fashion as to convince officers here
that prospects for reaching Plymouth,
England the ultimate goal of the navy
airmen, were exceedingly bright.
Each of the three planes had tri-
pie radio installation when it left
Rockaway One set was the telephone
by which they communicated with each
other while in fight at a distance of
a score or more miles Stations and
guard ships listened i'm on many of
these conversations and reported
them. The second set was the regular
long distance radio installation and
the third was the equipment for the
radio compasses.
Radio Works Well.
AS the planes approached one of the
patrol vessels, long before it was
sighted the long distance radio was
buzzing Questions and answers
flashed back and forth. dealing with
directions for navigation. Important
communications were relayed to and
from the speeding seaplanes, some
from Washington. One carried greet
ings to Commander Towers and his
crews from Acting Secretary Roose-
welt, who watched the trip with keen
interest all day as the department s
messages came in. Another relaped
cabled assurances from London that
every facility of the British admiralty
would be at the disposal of the daring
American airmen when they reached
British waters.

SUMTER'S BACK
AGAINST WALL
in LOAN DRIVE

Sumter county was making a des-
perate effort to go "over the top to-
day in the Liberty Loan campaign.
Following the visit here last night
of the whippet tank and the Fort Ben
ming band, committees were at work
today securing the rural districts and
recanvassing the city to attempt to
corral the large number of citizens
who had not yet been seen and obtain
larger subscriptions for bonds from
those who had done their best.
AT the meeting of the committees at
the courthouse this morning it was
decided to close the days work at
O'Clock this afternoon, and as soon as
handbills could be printed they were
distributed all over the city by school
boys, through the assistance of Super
intendent Mathis calling on the people
to gather at the courthouse at that
hour The hand bills also carried a
proclamation by Mayor Pro Tenn
Mashburn, asking that all loyal bust
ness houses be closed between 4 and
O'Clock, so that every citizen might
attend the meeting. Following was
the text of the proclamation:
Whereas, Americus has failed
to subscribe its quota in the Vic
tory Loan campaign, hereby re-
quest and urge every loyal busi-
ness housed firm and Office TO
close today, Friday, May 9, from
to ) p. m, and that every citi-
zen of Americus report at the
county courthouse at p. m. sharp
for the purpose of completing
Americus' quota in the Victory
Loan drive.
H. B. MASHBURN,
Mayor Pro TEN.
Chairman Ellis was hopeful today
that the people would rally before the
end of the day and save the good name
of Sumter county. He admitted, how
ever. that ''our backs are to the wall !"
The tank and band arrived last night
without a definite schedule having
been received in advance by Mr.. Ellis
and consequently many people who
desired to see the war marvel did not
have the opportunity. The tank spent
several hours about the downtown
streets and thrilled a large throng
with demonstrations.
About midnight the tank was driven
to the Seaboard station where it was
loaded on fiat car. In loading one
of the drivers became wedged be-
tween the car and platform, and the
assistance of the wrecking crane was
required before it could be moved. The
car was shifted to the Central of Geor-
gia and sent to 0giethorpe and Mon
tezuma today

GERMANS COMPLAIN OF
UNEXPECTED HARSHNESS.

VERSAILLES, May Thursday
-(By Associated Press 1.-THE Ger
man delegation to the peace congress
complained bitterly this morning to
one of the French liaison officers of
the unexpected harshness of the con-
ditions of peace.
The delegates said they had ex-
pected from the newspaper reports
that the demands in many respects
would be far-reaching, but were not
prepared for the terms as actually
laid down in the printed copy of the
document.

BERLIN, May Thursday )-(By

the peace terms is expressed by all
the newspapers here. The Tages-Zei-
tung says, Zone thing is certain.
There can be no question of this be-
ing peace of justice" The Frei-
heit says that, compared with the
policy Germany pursued at Brest-Lit-
ovsk, the Ententes peace must be
termed quite moderate but it is
argued that the terms are in sharp
contradiction to President Wilson'S
fourteen points. Peace of Annihila-
tion," is the caption in Vorwaerts.
The National Zeitung publishes
what it terms the official standpoint
the government expects to take re-
garding the peace terms. The govern
ment, according to the newspaper, will
refuse to sign any point of the treaty
which provides for Oppression of
Germany" For instance, the En-
tentes standpoint regarding Danzig
and the Sarre valley will not be ac-
cepted. The German delegates, how
ever, will make every effort to insti-
tute negotiations on these and other
unacceptable demands, says the Ma
tional Zeitung.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
Elks Lodges Throughout the Coun-
try tc Cooperate


The United States government, I'M
dor a cooperative arrangement with
the Benevolent ard Protective Orde:
of Elks, as authorized by act OF
Congress, has embarked on a pro-
gram of vocational education which
is intended to intentionally train or
rc-cducate every one Of its disabled
soldiers, sailors and marines without
expense to these war heroes.
1t has been fond that no matter
what ph:s;ca! disability man may
have suffered, he can be so trained
or re-cducatod as to overcome the
hantiicap and enjoy the same or
greater earning capacity he had be
fore being wounded. There are
more than SEQ vacations opeH to
these disabled men, and nearly 300
educational institutions Of ell kinds
technical, commercial. agricultural
and trade institutions throughout. the
country have opened their doors to
the work. All expenses for books,
tuition and living, with allowances
to dependents, are provided.
When the work CT putting this vo-
cational education law into cffcct
was begun, it was found that 1t
would be necessary to interest some
private agency to make it 4 COM
plete success. This was because the
eases Of hundreds OF wounded mon
we're still pending before the war
Risk Insurance Board and the men
themselves were without money to
meet living expenses while in yoca-
t;onal training. There were also
hundreds disabled CT diseased before
the law went into effect or for var
ious technical reasons were outside
its provisions. In addition 10 these
we're the cases Of United States cit
liens who fought in the armies OF
the Allies and were wounded, while
the law provides only for these
wcurded while fighting with the
American forces.
Thus there are many thousands OF
disabled American soldiers, sailors
and marines to be vocationally
trained who must be provided for
either temporarily or throughout this
period Of training. by some private
agency. The law itself makes pro-
vision for Z cooperative arrange
mcnt Of this kind. The Federal
Board for Vocational Educatin, IN
Charge of this work, has selected
the Benevolent and Protective Order
of Ell;s. working through the Elks
Var Relief Commission, for this CO.
opeartlve assistance. Former Gavcr-

HIGH ON SCROLL OF FAME
10 Written the Name Of Frank Luke,
One Of the Best of American
Air Fighters.

What Lieutenant Luke, famous
American aviator, would, and often
did, attempt was Illustrated by his last
fight. Starting out alone 10 attack

looms, he had seen behind the German
lines In front of Verdun. he was inter
cepted by ten enemy machines. He
engaged them all, got two Of them. and
escaped the others by seeming him
self to be disabled. His "fall' was
from directly over the balloons. and be-
fore they could be lowered or protect
ed he shot all three OF them In flames
But then Luke disappeared, and what
became of him was not known until
after the aimistlce
When the allies entered the village
of MurvauX the rest OF the story was
learned from the peasants. The Amer
lean had been forced by wounds or the
disablement OF his machine to descend
but he did not land until he had used
his machine gun to the extent OF kill
ing eleven Of the many German sol
diers stationed there. Then he alight-
ed safely in a nearby field and was
seen to quit his machine and start for
little stream as II to get water. Ger
man soldiers ran up. and either by
them or by shot from further away
he was killed. The German officer In
command kicked the body and ordered
that no one touch II. There IL lay till
the next morning. when the villagers
were allowed to take IT. uncovered. in
cart. to their cemetery and bury II.
So ended Frank Luke a. the age OF
20. He had lived much. II not long

him. He does not lack appreciation

Bruges Is extraordinarily little chang

changed for the worse, The beautiful
