TTOW it feels to fly approximately

'ON II leelS 10 ny approximately
six miles high is explained by
Major r. w. Schroeder, who
believes that, with due preparation
he can climb to an altitude of more
than $4,000 feet. The story of his
flight for height he tells in Popu-
lar Mechanics as follows:
Il have been connected with avia-
ton since 1910, and during this
time l have worked as a mechanic
for some of Americas leading pilots
and gained a very valuable training.
l was always keen to learn all I
could, and 1 dare say that all my
past experiences were beneficial to
worlds altitude record. The last
worlds altitude record held by
America was made in August, 1911,
when the late Lincoln Beachy made
a climb of 1852 feet at the big
aviation meet in Chicago. Since that
time G. LegagneuX. in France, made
a climb to 20,25S feet on December
2s. 1918.

the second to $4,000 feet, and the
last to 2S,900 feet all of which
would have been worlds records,
and now 1 feel certain that with a
few changes and improvements 1
can get to 10000 feet.
The following experiences and
sensations which l noticed during
my flight were due to lack of oxy-
gen. l took off at Las p. m, Sep
tember IS, 1918, and made a steady
westerly climb, passing through
clouds at 5000, $4,000 and $4,000
feet. At 10000 feet, while still
climbing in large circles, my Cog
giles became frosted, making it very
difficult to watch the instruments.
The temperature at this altitude was
eighteen degrees centigrade below
zero. When j reached $4,000 feet
| noticed the sun growing very dim,
| could hardly hear my motor run,
and / felt very hungry.
The trend of my thought was
that 1t must be getting late, that
evening must be coming on. and
that this was the reason the sun was
getting so dim. But / still was

Emigration MoDement

While many argue that immigra-
ton is an imminent peril to the
country, emigration has become q
much more Immediately pressing
question. The tendency OF recent i'm
migrants TO return to their homes,

than diminishing. Outgoing ships,
especially to Mediterranean ports,
are crowded with passengers and as
soon as the traffic is restored to nor

EGYPTIANS ALONG THE NILE DEMAND
INDEPENDENCE FROM ENGLAND RULE

Paris. June 10.--A statement con-
cerning the recent disorders in
Egypt, explaining the situation from
the viewpoint OF the agitators, has
been given to the Associated Press
by Mohamed Mohmud Pasha, a mem
ber of an Egyptian delegation OF 20
which is here TO ask the peace con-
ference to recognize the indepen-
dence OF Egypt. Mohamed Mohmoud
Pasha was at one time governor Of
the Suez Canal and later governor
of the province OF Behera. He with
three other leaders of his party were
deported recently to Malta but we're
released after a month and came on
to Paris. His statement follows:
THE political status of Egypt un-
derwent a great change, owing to
the war. International relations be-
tween Egypt and other countries
must be rearranged, and the British
protectorate which, was proclaimed
at the beginning OF the war and
which has never been accepted by
the Egyptian people, was a war meas
ure and cannot stand after the ter
mination of the war.
"All these questions which eman-
ated from the war can be settled by
the peace conference only, and pro-
per settlement necessitates the hear
ing of Egypt's voice therein. For
these reasons the Egyptian delega-
tion was empowered by means Of
mandates from all classes OF the
Egyptian people to come. to Paris,
plead the cause of their country be-
fore the peace conference, and re-
quest therefrom the recognition OF
the independence Of Egypt.
"But the delegation was prevented
by the British authorities from leav-
ing for Europe. and the Egyptian
ministry which was In complete soli-
darity with the people, resigned
early in March last. No Egyptian
was found to form a ministry, and
for this bankruptcy of British admin
istration In Egypt. the delegation
was held responsible.

''The Egyptian people almost TO

the enormous sacrifices which. in
the language of General Allenby,

sible for the decisive victory over the

Alexandria to Assuan lodged a stern
protest against such treatment.
Young men and the students made

Yet the demonstrations continued
and the fire of machine guns and
