Casablanca, Morocco, May 2G.-Lieu-
tenant Roget, the French aviator, who
left Paris on the first leg of his pro-
iected transatlantic flight via pakar
TO Brazil, landed at Lenitra, thirty
kilometers from Rabat, on the Attain
tic coast of Morocco.
The machine was damaged in land
inc and the transatlantic trip will be
abandoned.
Roget came down on very difficult
ground. The machine had left Villa
Coublay, France, at 30 o'clock Sat
urday morning, carrying as passen-
ger Captain Coli, who previously had
crossed the Mediterranean. Coli yas
slightly bruised when the machine
came down. The entire trip was Gov
cred without Il stop.
The aviators arrived at Rabat by
automobile, where they were the
guests of General Lyautey, the French
military commander AS their machine
cannot be repaired the aviators will
return to France by steamship.
Lieutenant Roget seems to have
beaten the record of the American
navy seaplane NC-4, which in its re-
cent flight to the Azores covered 1850
kilOmeters 0211 miles,, while Roget
flew 2170 kilometers (about 134S
miles) in 1919 hours.
Lieutenant Roget, according to a

ALLIESREJECTHUN
NOTE ON SAAR
Counter Proposals Are Turned
Down FIatIy.
ONLY ONE POINT GRANTED
Council of Four Ignores Germans
Appeal For orat Discussion OF the
Subject.

Subject.
Paris, Nav o6.-With the exception
of one minor concession, all sugges-
tions and counter proposals by Ter
many for the disposition OF the eaar
basin have been rejected by the reply
of the allied and associated powers.
Count Won Brockdorff-R -RantZauS ap-
peal for an oral discussion OF the
points at issue on this subject was
ignored.
The concession agreed TO is that
Germany might create prior charge
upon her assets or revenues for the
payment of the mines in the Saar re-
gion, if the plebiscite goes against
France. If, however, the sum agreed
upon is not paid within a year from
the date it is due the rapartion COM
mission shall effect payment under re-
striction from the league Of nations.
This alteration was made in view OF
Germanys declarations that it was
impossible for her to accumulate a
sufficient sum of gold with which to
pay for the mines in the fifteen years
before the plebiscite is taken, since
other reparations would constitute a
constant drain. -
The council of four also has COM
pleted the Austrian treaty, with the
exception of financial clauses, and the
southern boundary, on which details
are still to be Strengthened out.
Chinese and Japanese delegates
were before the council in connection
with the Russian question, which con-
tinues to occupy much of the councils
attention, owing to the proposal to
recognize Admiral Kolchak, the anti
Bolshevik leader in Russia.
DR.. Sidney E. MeZes, president OF
the College Of the City Of New York,
who is director of the body Of experts
of the American peace delegation, has
asked to be relieved of his duties in
order that he may resume his position
in New York.
In his letter to the commission, DR..
Mezes expresses satisfaction at the
opportunities given the American spe-
CldllSlS " pei III uSClut "oih n All tAhS
formulation of the peace treaty.
1t was expected that Professor
Charles H. Haskins, of Harvard Uni
versity, would succeed DR.. MeZes, but
Professor Haskins also is leaving
shortly to take up his courses in the
Harvard summer school.
Dr. Mezes said that the work Of the
experts was virtually completed by
the submission of the territorial re-
commentators of the four treaties, SO
that the members of the commissions
were gradually being relieved, leaving
only a small body of specialists for
such small subjects as remain for ad-
justment.
The work Of the American expert
body has won high cOmmendation
throughout the various foreign dele
cations, and DR.. Mezes says this was
largely due to the complete liberty of
action given them in forming their
decisions. Virtually their only instruc-
tiOns were to exercise fairness and
consider the interests Of the peoples
in the territories affected by the re-
concentrations.

FLIGHT OF NC-4
10 Let Up Of the Strong Wind

Ponta Delgada, May 26.-There are
NO immediate. signs of an impending
let-up in the unfavorable weather
which has prevailed for thirty hours
over the whole of the Lisbon course of
the projected flight Of the American
navy seaplane NC4.
It Is cons: :dered impossible TO start
on this leg Of the journey to England
before tomorrow, according to the
weather experts.
Strong northwest winds, with clear
ing weather, but with occasional rain
squalls, are predicted. The American
aviatOrs have been obtaining much
needed rest during their delay in
starting.
The NC-4 has been removed TO an
anchorage further inside the break
water. She Is being carefully guard
ed by u steam launch, which continu-
ally circles around her, while search
lights are played on the craft through
out the night as a precaution against

.CH|LDS' ESTATE
HOLDINGS SELL
+. FOR FORT UNE
Land That Was Acquired at
About One Dollar an
Acre In 1862 Brings Over
100000.

Romance and good, hard cash were
both found in the big Childs' land
holdings, acquired south of Omaha
go years ago. This was proven by
the prices at which they were origin
ally bought and sold recently.
The last big tract Of the Childs'
property has just been sold to Shuler
Il Cary. agents of the estate, who
bought it as an investment.
The price for the 265 acres in this
tract was 100000, or nearly $500 an
acre. II is said that Charles Childs
acquired the land in 1862 at about 81
an acre.
Charles Childs bought this and
many hundreds of acres of other
land in the same vicinity along the
present Fort Crook boulevard on ad-
vice of his brotherin-law, Walter
Lowric, then secretary Of foreign
missions for the Presbyterian church
and formerly secretary of the United
States senate in the days of Clay,
Calhoun and Webster.
All that remains in the hands of
his descendants of the vast lands
which Charles Childs acquired in
those days is a 2l-acre tract which
holds the Lowrie Chids country
home and this has also been placed
on the market through Shuler &
Cary. A picture of the trees on the
lawn just south of the Childs home
forms the front cover decoration Of
the May issue of Country Life"
The house was built in 1897.
