Fear of Lack of Jobs
Keeps Doughboys Abroad
Manv Soldiers Get Married and
Stay in France, Says Maine
; Lieutenant

The high cost of living in America
and French propaganda concerning
cheap living in the smaller cities of
France have made nroads on the strong
feeling of inconsistencies that has pre-
vailed with the A. E. F., according to
some of the troops who arrived yes
tcrday from Brest on the transport
Manitou.
Among the 2,2o4 warriors on the
vessel was Lieutenant Ethan Arm
strong, of Bangor, Me-, whose bunke
was stolen by wealthy French widow
of the Marne Valley few weeks ago
The loss of his pal, who is now d.
rector of a prosperous estate near
Paris, did not prejudice Lieutenant
Armstrong against coming home
America is the only place in the world
for him, he said. but there are plenty
of soldiers of the A. E. F. who have
married and settled in France because
of the reports of the difficulty of
finding jobs at home and the high
prices prevailing here.
Among the units that returned yes
terday on the Manitou were the 22d
Engineers Headquarters First Battal-
ion, 107th Camp Hospital, 82d Ord
nance Casual Company, First Battalion
Military Police and the 269th, 27Oth,
281st and 659th Aero squadrons.

Ocean Flight on R-34

Saring OF Casolene on Journey
.East,card Is Expected to Re-
duce Figure to about $3.50

The cost Of carrying every man
aboard the British dirgible R-34 across
the Atlantic is $3.50.
These figures were worked out by
Colonel William HensIey. jr.. the
American observer on board the R-34
for the eastward fight. just before the
airship left Roosevelt Field.
Owing to the difficulty of obtaining
correct prices for the British stand
ard of measures used, the figures. he
said, are approximate
In the first place, the eignty-one gas
olene tanks carried by the R-34 are all
measured in imperial standard GAL
Ions, which have the ratio of approxi-
mately five to six when compared with
United States standard gallons. The
United States gallon is slightly smaller
than the British.
carried approximately 5000 United
States gallons of gasolene on her fiight
east, which would cost $4,000. The
lubricating oil cost S4oO The hydro
gen gas, at $3.50 a thousand cubic feet,
cost altogether $1,000
Although this works out at $3.50 for
each man on board, it is not a fair
comparison as to operating cost on
commercial basis. In addition to crew
and passengers, the airship can carry
a considerable load of express, freight
and mail matter. The fees received
for this would cut down the cost of
carrying passengers.

take on extra hydrogen while here, it

Inc promise of increased American

factor of safety whicn hitherto was
absent from balloo->ing Those who
are looking into the future foresee the
carly use Of the dirigible as a carrier
OF freight CT bulk goods and the in

ne use OF hellum-a non-combus stible

dirigibles. Mr.. Russell declared. In
stead OF having the cars suspended
from the balloon itself, they, with
their engines, will be inclosed within
the envelope, once the fear of ex-
ploslon has been done away with.
1T would be useless for America to
neglect the development of lighter-than-
air craft" Mr.. Russell continued, land
the visit Of the R-34 is at once an in
splration and a warning. We were

Foam of beer-only 2.75 per cent,
but still beer, mingled with the suds
of ice cream soda in the drip pan of
the Hotel Pennsylvania bar yesterday.
On the further side of the mahogany
rampant, dainty, pointed slippers
reached timidly for the brass rail and
soprano voices mingled with gruffer
masculine demands for refreshment.
Prohibition had won another victory
for Equal Rights. Women were being
admitted to the cafe, and another of

ished.
Sodas and sundaes were served by
harassed looking bartenders who saw
the life of soda clerks staring them in
the face. Men whose habit it had been
to grip a seidel and crate on the peace
conference and kindred topics lowered
their voices, slipped deicately and
fled.
None of the women called for beer,

requirements. The total amount actu-

In flying from Scotland to M.neola
the R-34 used up virtually all of her
fuel. This was occasioned by the tre-
mendous head winds she had to fight
all the way across
On her present fight Major Scott,
her commander, expects to maintain
an average speed OF fifty knots an
hour with only three engines running.
This will reduce the gasolene CON

case, the cost of carrying each man
will be reduced to about $3.50.

The grand ballroom at the Hotel
Commodore was fitted up last night
to the last detail as the cabin of an
NC flying boat, in which was served
dinner for the officers and crews of
the NC-4, NC-3 And NC-1. Other
guests were military and scientific ex-
perts who helped in the development
OF the first machine to fly across the
Atlantic and the representatives of
several newspapers.
Glenn II. Curtiss, for whose name
the sc" in NC stands, was the host
and intended that no publicity should
attend the dinner His plans went
wrong, however, for once.
The cabin" in which the diners
seated themselves was that of the
sNC-9,' bound from New York to
plymouth, England, in May, 1920.
Along the sides were ports through
which could be caught glimpses of a
swift panorama of cloudland, through
boats or huge dirigibles At intervals

on which the "NC-9'' drove along, ap-

stand by to get under way!" and the
like, followed by the officers call on a

Sends Thanks to Nauv
Craft Making Rapid Progress
When Distance and Static
Conditions Checked Wireless


Out of the air 600 miles at sea Major
u. II. Scott, commander of the British
superdirigible R34 flashed a message
q thanks to the United States Navy
yesterday. The message was addressed
to Rear Admiral James H. Clennon,
commandant of the Sd Naval District
1t read:
THE officers and crew of R-34 desire
to express their sincere gratitude for
the valuable and efficient assistance
they received during the mooring of
the R34 at Mineola. All we'll Making
good progress"
The rapid progress of the airship was
recorded at the radio station of the
Naval Communication Bureau in the
Whitehall Building up to about 4 O'Clock
this morning. At that time the craft
was travelling so fast that she had run
out of direct wireless communication.
The first message received came in
at 2:45 a. m, and read:
Everything O. K; bound for Eng
land"
AT a. m. this was received:
Speed fortynine knots; going we'll;
everything 0. K"
This was followed at 3:45 a. m by
the following message:
eve are making rapid progress"
After the receipt of this message it
was announced that the signals Of the
dirigible had become unreadable, owing
to her speed and static conditions.
An air of quietud@ prevailed at
Roosevelt Field yesterday, The 200
men under command of Lieutenant
Henry W. Hoyt, United States Navy,
will be retained at the field until word
is received that the R34 is safely
housed in her hangar at East Fortune,
Scotland. This is merely precaution-
Ary measure.
The officers and men of the British
landing party. which preceded the dirigi-
Bile to this country, will return to Eng
land on the first available steamship.

VERY GOOD CROWD ATTENDS
MEETING MONDAY EVENING

One hundred ladies and gentlemen
occupied places in the banquet room
of the Methodist church Monday even
ing, at which time, following the
bounteous repast several speakers
placed before the people the matter of
erecting commodious hospital for
the City of Delta and community.
Several local speakers including
Major John R Charlesworth, E. S.
Corbin and Mortimer Stone made ad-
dresses, but DR.. Samuel Howell, of
Buffalo, New York, was the leading
speakers. He spoke briefly of the
needs of a hospital and the great work
to be accomplished, emphasing the fact
that such an institution conducted in
the name of Christianity, should have
as its mission the ministering to the
poor especially. instead of to those
financially able to provide for them
selves.
His address was cleverly sprinkled
with pleasantries which kept every
one interested.

taken looking toward such building
but the COMMITTEES in charge expect to

At Paonia big beef was roasted

which they had prepared at home.
big dance closed the days activities.
Perhaps the most auspicious gather

were about 400 Elks in the parade, and
band music kept interest at high
point. In the afternoon ladies were

Olathe also came in for its share
OF good time and the people in that
