Machine Was Damaged

A$eA-Ao0~A
Both Alcock and Lieutenant Brown
were in good spirits when they made
their landing. The machine suffered
some minor damages through coming
down rather heavily on the sandy
shore, but neither Alcock or Brown
suffered any injury. ,..
London, June 15.-To Jack Alcock,
a captain in the British royal air
force, and his navigator, Lieut.. Arthur
w. Brown, an American, goes the hon
or Of having made the first nonstop
flight across the Atlantic, from New
foundland to Ireland, the Daily Mails
$4,000 prize is theirs.
Forty minutes after 8 o'clock this
morning their big Vickers-Vimy BIZ
plane landed on the beach near Cliff
den, Galway. They left St. Johns,
N. F., at ALB yesterday afternoon
Greenwich time, 1913 New York
time).
Terribly Fatigued
Both pilot and navigator were in
good spirits but terribly fatigued.
Every mile of the fight was a ter
rife battle against the elements. OF
the human qualities that combined to
conquer the air on this direct trans
Atlantic route unshakable pluck was
unquestionably the decisive factor.
Immediately after landing, Captain
Alcock said:
1--WE were tired, being alone in the
fog and drizzle. Sometimes we found
ourselves upside down, having lost
all sense of direction while enveloped
in the heavy blanket Of fog. Our
wireless was useless for the greater
part of the flight. The wireless pro-
pellor blew off soon after we started
from st. Johns. Our receiver was
much jammed by strong signals not
intended for u.s."
The Vickers-Vimy officers sent in
structions to Alcock to remain at
Clifden until repairs had been made
to the damaged fuselage and then to
start for London. On his arrival
over London, Alcock is to circle over
the city, SO as to give everybody q
chance to see the record-making ma
chine in full flight.
C. H. knight, the Vickers-Vimy
manager, said to Universal Service
tonight:
Then on to London
"As soon as / hear from Captain
Alcock what spare parts are needed
to repair the damage caused by the
rough landing, several machines will
start Immediately for Galway. ex-
pect that Alcock will be able to show
London his machine by Tuesday or
Wednesday.
"We are all tremendously happy
and proud over the accomplishment
Of the great feat by our machine. We
expected AlcOck to get across if any
man could do it, because he had great
in night flying during the
war and knew his machine as well
Is he knew himself"

Is to De are largely dreams Still long
after the Gays are past that should
have witnessed the crGWning. But life
is more than dreams. Most folks have
learned to their sorrow that it is a
rather stern reality. 1t promises much,
but it's always conditional. 1t teaches
men that in the using Oh what they
have they become the heroes of the
days that are to be. It's the filling of
present hours that brings the full hours
of the future. It's folly to mourn the
past. It's all made in the present and

Oldtime News Service.

In 1882 James Watson Webb, of the
New York Courier and Enquirer. es-
rablished an express-rider service be
tween New York and Washington
which gave his paper valuable pres
ige. In the following year the Jour
nal of Commerce started a rival serv
ice, which enabled it to print Wash
ington news in New York within As
hours of its occurrence. The most
notable express-maiI service of all
was the pony express" which carried
messages by relays of riders across
mountains and deserts and through
hostile Indian territory from st. Louis
TO San Francisco, covering 1866 miles
in 10 days.

first sight the offer of free board every
day the sun doesn't shine might seem
a reckless one, but, as a matter Of
fact, a day without sunshine in that
desert country is far rarer than black
berries in May. If it rains at all, it is
only for a very short time, leaving
most of the day for sunshine, so that

Nakinu Gas From Wood

Experiments on wood as part substi-
tute for coal in gas making have been
carried out in France. The wood used
was sea pine in the form of billets cut
from the middle of the trunk. The
charge of the wood was about half the
weight of that of coal, and carboniza-
ton occupied half the usual time.
When running one retort with wood to
every two with coal, no appreciable
difference in the calorific power of the
gas was noted. Of the two by-products

Victory Over Old Eli
Cheers the Penn Team
INTERCOLLEGIATE LEAGUE

PENIS victory over Yale Saturday
night again place the Red and
Blue in a position to annex the in
tercollegiate championship this
year. Princeton is leading the lea
que at the present time, but the
Tigers have only played one game,
that with the weak Columbia five.
The game with Columbia was not
hard enough to show the strength
of the Princeton five, and comment
ON their prospects this year must be
reserved until she meets, either Penn
or Yale. Pennsylvania and Yale are
now deadlocked for second place
with two victories and one defeat
charged against the two flves.
The Red and Blue five displayed
it's true caliber on Saturday night,
but it took them one whole half to
strike their right stride. Playing
like any average team Of mediocre
ability in the first twenty minutes
of play, the Quakers showed com
plete reversal of form in the sec
ond half, and, by raining field goal
after field goal through the net, mix
ed in with a couple of fouls by Swee-
ney, Utterly swept the Blue team
off their feet until a comfortable
lead was obtained. From then on
1t was all Penn.

Dempsey-Willard Battle
to Be Preceded by
Army and Navy Bout

An army-navy boxing cham
pionship bout as the preliminary
to the proposed title bout be-
tween Jess Willard, champion,
and Jack Dempsey, challenger, is
the plan of Promoter Tex Rick
ard. The western promoter ex-
poets to make arrangements for
the service bout and is now
sounding official sentiment for
the purpose of ascertaining if
such contest would be sane
toned.
Rickard plans to hang up a
purse of $4,000 for the nations
fighters to strive for. The leading
boxers of both branches of the
service, here and abroad, would
be selected through an elinina-
ton process. 1t is planned to con-
duct tournament in both the
army and navy before the date of
the big" match, in which both
arms of the nations fighting serv-
ice will have the best possible
representation. In this way Pro-
moter Rickard plans to make his
proposed service match an I'M
questioned title bout. ...
The western promoter expects
to close negotiations with Jack
Dempsey tomorrow. The Salt
Lake City heavyweight, according
to his manager, Jack Kearns, will
arrive either tonight or to-mor-
row morning, and a meeting will
be held in the afternoon.
Offers for a place to hold the
match between Willard and
Dempsey continue to pour in to
Rickard. One was a communi-
cation from a resident of Ohio
which promised Richard a bonus
of $250,000 If the bout were pro-
NOTED in a city which Rickard
refused to divulge. Rickard took
the offer under consideration.

AUSTRIA ROCKS
UNDER JABS BY
HER NEIGHBORS
Jugoslavs and Rumanians Are
Attempting 10 Grab
Territory

Vienna, Feb. 10.-Arriving from
the Polish and Russian frontiers,
having broken through various
battle fronts" which were estab-
lished by the different peoples while
the peace, conference was gathering
in Paris. the correspondent has
found the entire former Austrian
empire in an extremely unsettled
condition, except here and there at
its old centre. There is even GER
tain amount of warfare being car
ried on between the Austrians and
the Jugoslavs, but this is of a pure
ly local nature.
1t is the settled policy Of Austria
to await the decision of the peace
conference. According to a state
ment made by Minister of Foreign
Affairs Bauer, all these disputes
would have been avoided had the
allies distributed a few garrisons
throughout the country to prevent
the various nationalities from grab
bling territory.
The Rumanians are accused of
being busy correcting" what they
define as their natural frontiers.
The ambitions of several of the new
nations are leading them to advance
into the rich oil region south of
Lemberg.
The correspondent was among
the first persons to travel by train
over the battle front between the
disputing parties. The trip was
taken over the first thirty miles in
company with a British naval Of
ficer, Captain Rawlings, who had
obtained a special train. Later the
trip was continued with the Polish
science committee to the peace con-
ferene, which might not have got
through had it not been for the
energy of Captain Rawlings.
When the Poles concluded their
armistice with the Czechs, it was
stated in Warsaw that the Czechs
were not keeping the, compact. AS
Captain Rawlings had official bust
ness in Vienna and the only prac-
tical route lay through the Czech
line from Cracow, he announced
that he would he would test the
honesty of the armistice by re-
questing a special train from the
Poles. He then proceeded to
Cracow, Trzebinia and Dziedice. At
the last named station he found two
special cars on which the Polish
committee proposed to proceed to
Paris, providing the Czechs would
permit them to do so.
Finally came notice that the COM
mittee might proceed. 1t was as
sumed that this notice was due to
the presence of Captain Rawlings.
While crossing the Czech lines
soldiery was to be seen taking shel-
ter behind trees, as if afraid that
the train was the armored one
which the Poles had been sending
along the line on previous days.
