NAVY GIVES DETAILS
OF BLIMP'S ESCAPE
Officers Tell Of Experience
of Crew Of the Diri-
gible BIZ.

WARRINGTON, July Am unusual
story OF hardships, daring and miracu-
lous escape from death during the war
was brought to light for the first time
to-day when naval officers made public
an account of tho adventures OF the
crew of the navy dirigible Biz. which
was given up for lost by the Department
in July. 1918, after drifting around at
sea for more than two days. during
which the crew had practically nothing
to eat and ran short of water.
The dirigible finally was forced to
descend on the surface OF the sea and
the crew was rescued by the Swedish
ship Skagern.
The Biz, with Ensign w. B. Griffin
as commanding officer and pilot, Ensign
W. c. Briscoe as assistant pilot and
Machinists Mate Z. A. Upton as me-
chanic, was ordered to leave Chatham,
Mass, early July 10 on patrolling ex-
petition. German submarines were then
operating OF the Atlantic coast and the
dirigible was well loaded with bombs
when it left the air station. Scanty food
supplies were carried. as Ensign Griffin
expected to return to Chatham that
night. The radio equipment had only
been partly installed and could not be
used to send or receive messages.
The Biz patrolled to the north along
the coast and sighted transport about
3:30 p. NJ. Ensign Griffin headed to-
ward the vessel, intending to escort 1t
toward port, when the heel brace OF
the rudder was carried away, making
Il impossible to steer the craft. High
winds were prevailing at the time and
the Biz was forced to cruise around
in a great circle while the crew at

Drifts to North.
The B-s2 was at that time about 200
feet in the air and was virtually free
balloon. Darkness was coming on and
the big gas bag was drifting northward
at a speed of about twenty-five miles
an hour with an increasing wind be-
hind it. A sea anchor was rugged UP
and an effort made to retard the diri-
gible's progress by dragging It In the
sea. After a few moments, however,
the towing cable parted and the north
ward progress was resumed at an in
creased speed.
About 9 40 o'clock that night a ship
was sighted and nine rockets were fred
from a pistol. The vessel apparently
saw the signals and directed its course
toward the B-62. only to turn away in
a few moments and leave the helpless
gas bag at the mercy OF the wind About
that time the pipe line leading, to the
emergency oil tank broke and before the
leak was discovered all Of the oil was
lost, causing a considerable decrease of
ballast. The B-62 began to rise and
| assembled steadily until an altitude of
5000 feet was reached.
All night the dirigible continued its

Baby Hendrickson

Died at her home in our city
Tuesday afternoon, April 8, little
Baby Hendrickson, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. III. q. Hendrickson,
following a short illness with
pneumonia.
This beautiful baby was so
precious, so frought with bless
ing to her parents that she SEEM
ed a flower of paradise permitted
to bloom for so brief a season by
their side, then recalled to its
nature skies, leaving them sad
and lonely indeed.
The funeral occurred Thurs
day and she sweetly sleeps in the
Sisseton cemetery.
And thus over a happy home,
the shadow of a little grave has
fallen, and, it is wonderful how
long a shadow a little grave can
throw.
The parents, brothers and Sis
ter have the sincere sympathy of
the community.

The legislature increased the
auto license tax from $3 to $6 a

is an QUITO owner in the state who
would have s'balked" had they
raised it to $25, or even more, if
they were assured that hard sur
face roads would be built with
the money, because he would
more than save his $25 in gaso-
line alone-if he had hard sur
face roads to run over.
Figuring it from every angle,
there is only one conclusion to be
reached, and that is, that South
Dakota is losing money every
moment that it delays in con-
structing a system of hard sur
face roads.-Watertown Herald.

GONE TO REST

Genuine sorrow spread over
this community Saturday when
it became known that Anne
Honeysette had passed away that
morning at Custer.
About two years ago she was
attacked bv the dread disease,
but with characteristic persis-
tency she struggled and hoped
for ultimate recovery and in hope
that it. would benefit her she
went to the Custer Sanitorium.
The first summer spent there
she gained between thirty and
thirty five pounds and her fami-
ly and friends looked forward to
her complete recovery, but last
summer she gradually began to
fail and altho all was done that
medical skill could do and loving
hands were outstretched to keep
her, an All Wise Father deemed
otherwise, and beautiful life
was waited back to the God who
gave.
Anna Honeysette, daughter of
VIM. Honeysette was born in this
city April 10Th, 1899, just twen-
ty years ago and grew to woman
hood in our midst. She attended
our high school thru the third
year when her failing health
compelled her to give it up. Gift
ed with a winsome disposition
she won friends quickly and her
sunny manner always made her a
great favirite with her school
mates and teachers.
She was a kind and dutiful
daughter, a loving sister and
true friend, and her devotion to
those she loved would make a
bright chapter in any life. So
while she is gone h,om the
scenes and conflicts, theNsorrows
and pleasures of life, she will
still live in the hearts of those
who knew her best.
Her father was at her bedside
when the end came and arrived
here with the remains Wednes-
day evening. The funeral was
conducted from the St. Peters
Catholic church by Rev. FIR.
O'Hora, Thursday morning and
she was laid to rest in the Sisse-
ton cemetery.
To the surviving father, sister
and brother, the Standard joins
the community in extending
sympathy and coincidence.

ing Mckinley Township as as
SCISSOR, and again following his
profession as veterinarian.
A little over a year ago he went
to Custer with tuberculosis, but
it was too late and he returned to
his home where he passed away
ON April 3rd.
He believed that Happiness
was the only good, reason the
only torch, justice the only wor-
ship, humanity the only religion
and love the only priest.
Funeral services were held
from the Woodman hall on Sat-
urday and he was buried in the
Sisseton cemetery. In accordance
with his wishes, a short service
was held at his grave, his friend
E. F. Atwood delivering short
address and the Yeomen using
their beautiful funeral ritual.
His wife and four children who
survive him will continue to live
on the claim, where the provi-
dence of the Yeoman and the
Mothers Pension will care for
them financially, but nothing can
replace the loving husband,
father and friend who is gone.

Easy Terms Made On

lSSAv 1AU.; III lsNsSuS
Installments for the Victory
loan will be the most liberal of
any government war loan, Secre-
tary Glass announces. Payments
will be permitted in six INSTALL
ments. In the fourth loan, the
treasury allowed four INSTALL
ments..,
The installment dates and a.
mounts as announced by Glass
are:
Ten per cent on or before May
10th.
Ten per cent July 10.
Ten per cent August IL.
Ten per cent September9
Twenty per cent October z
And the remainder with ac-
crued interest on deferred install
ments November IL.
The fourth loan payments
were required to be completed in
four months as against six
months in the Victory campaign.
Prior to the fourth loan, the
treasury required full payment
from the banks on subscription.
The banks therefore had to car
ry all installment payments
which they permitted.

He has received no word from

A MEMORIAL NOW

The conference called by the
governor at Huron on the 9th
was we'll attended by representa-
tive men from every part of the.
state east of the river. After
thorough discussion it was un-
animously agreed to ask the peo-
pie for voluntary contributions
to the extent of one dollar each,
to be used in erecting a classic
building of the most enduring
material and workmanship to
stand forever as South Dakota's
testimonial to her heroes of the
Great War. The campaign for
the funds will be made memorial
week, ending May Both.
1t is the common hope that
South Dakota will never again be
called upon to erect a War Me-
mortal. Let us then at this time
build such a structure as will
stand through the centuries as a
tribut to the men who offered
their lives that liberty might
survive. Let us build memorial
that our posterity many centur-
les hence will gaze upon with
awe and veneration and say, 'sour
sires were men of vision, who
recognized heroism and appre-
ciated strength and beauty. They
built for eternity" What the
Parthenon is to Rome, let our
Memorial be to the Sunshine
State.

Upon being asked whether he
thought the loan would be sue
cessfully placed in Roberts Coun-
ty, Mr.. Morris said "of course
why not? The people have more
money and certainly they are no
less patriotic. True the war is
over, much sooner than we eX-
pected. More of our boys are be-
ing returned to us safe and sound
than we could reasonably have
hoped for, the people are honest,
not Bolshevik-they pay their
debts. and the debt of Uncle Sam
is our debt; neither are we pikers
or cutters. The boys over there
didn't quit because the thing
came hard, till they got the
Kaiser's scalp, and the people at
home are made of the same kind
of stuff. You'll see they won't
quit either till the job is done,
the debts all paid, and the boys
safely home.
Yes, | know about all that
money wasted-boys don't get
back-and slow progress made at
thePeace Conference. Lots of
things you and think should be
diff ferent. But we did-the Ameri
can people did the biggest job
on earth and did it in record
time. The Kaiser said we could
MT raise an army, but we did.
Said we couldn't get across, but
we did; that the boys couldn't
fight, but they did and licked his
pet armies to a fare We we'll !;
said England would starve, but
they didn't; we fed them; said we
didn't have ships, guns, ammuni-
tion and flying machines, but we
made them and now having done
all this you think the people will
back water, just because mis-
takes were made and money
wasted. We'll | guess not. You
wait and see. This loan is going
over the best yet, going over be-
cause the people are proud of the
boys, proud of their deeds, and
glad, oh so glad. that so many
are coming back and so few will
stay ''over there" and going over
SO the boys can come home. 1t is
going over not only in the spirit
of victory but also in the spirit
of devout thanksgiving"

jacent to Browns Siding have
