THE DEATH OF JOHN ALcocK.

SsD - BSuefAt uOrroW IN tno
United States over the death Of
that brave sportsman and aviator. Cap
tain John Alcocls. the first birdman to
mako nonstop airplans flight across
the Atlantic. Captain Alcock died as
result Of injuries he received when
the plane he was riding in crashed to
the ground near Cottevrard, depart
ment Of ine-Inferieure. Normandy.
He was flying in waterplane and was
following the Seine at the time. In
tending to alight on the river opposite
the grand palace for an aviation ex-
hibition.
Sir Arthur w. Brown, Captain AL
cocks navigator when the flight was
made across the Atlantic, we'll said
Alcocks death was "A true sacrifice for
the sake of humanity" In many ways
the fatal accident was untimeIy. Cap
tain Alcock was one of the aerial trail
blazers and his flight across the At
lantio might have been but tho begin
ming Of many long distance trips Of
great benefit to the world. He will 60
down into history as one of the most
fearless Of aviators and when crossing
the Atlantic via the air becomes COM
mon. as 1t surely Is destined to be, he
will be remembered az the first to
make the venture. thereby paving the
way for others. Alcock was but 81
years old and served with distinction
during the war, being one of the first
British aviators to bomb Constanti-
nople preliminary to the advance Of
the British army. Later he was cap
tured by the Turks and was held a
prisoner until the signing Of the arm
istice.
Although he rode the air in one of
the longest nonstop flights. and met
without accident. 1t IL grim fate in
deed that his death finally was caused
from injuries while flying over land
and river and by his plane striking
the ground during fog. In very
ordinary flight.

dences Of Bolshevism have been found
among the school children. and the
pledge presumably Is a blow at the boy
and girl radicals. The instrument of

Much more a hero will be the young
ster who stands out against the whole

suffers the ultimate punishment of
having his diploma withheld. It will
be the happiest roles for the self Gen.

Recognition involved in the obIiga-

Bolshevism much more important than
1t really Ia. How serious or how dam
gerons can the views of school chill

boy or girl is not interested in econ
omics or social theory. and could not
be made to study such subjects from
a text book without the use of drastic
compulsion. For the abnormal child
whose interest takes the form of a

pirate corrective. Making him sign
a loyalty pledge Is to flatter his alb

CHIEF NICHOLAI SAYS WINTER

Everything is well and the world skips merrily from the perihelion to the aphelion. Chief Nicholai the Ninth has spake and in the spaking lies the solacing thought that the com ing winter is to be mild and a pleas antly bright one. No more will it be necessary to wory over the number of gloomy days that, according to Hoyle and the Great Law of Averages, should mark the passing of the win ter months. There will be no gloom. So says Nicholai the Ninth To be sure, it is not the same Nicholai who from his humble cabin overlooking Chester creek during the past three years has acted as the official prog nosticator for Anchorage, but it is the shade of that worthy old abo- rigine.
