Sanb0rn, commander of Chicago's old
First Illinois National Guard regiment,
personally carried food to his men

Chicago's noted regiment was shot to
pieces, was the story told by Sergt. G.
William Keane of Chicago, who re-
Gently arrived here on board trans
port from France.
Keane, who was student at Notre
Dame university until Villa cut loose
In Mexico, has several heroic feats to
his own credit, but he attributes his
bravery to Colonel Sanborn's inspir-
ing leadership. Keane had the Mill
tary cross pinned on his breast by
King George on the same day that
General Pershing was made a Knight
Of the Bath. He also wears the Amer

His story was told by buddy of
his in the One Hundred and Thirty

"Say, if you were fighting under a
man like Colonel Sanborn, our COM
mander, you couldn't help pitching In
with every drop Of blood in your body.
Do you know what Colonel Sanborn
did at Chipilly ridge in August, when
our outfit was so badly shot up? We
were up there with nothing to eat or
drink for couple Of days until Col

tons to us on his back under the most
terrific fire that ever experienced.
HE did that because he wanted to
be sure that the food would reach us
and he figured the best way to make

commander like that?"
Keane went to the Mexican border
with the First and re-enlisted later for
overseas service. He was decorated by
King George for his work at Hamel on
July 4 when the One Hundred and

Keane had charge of directing the
work of stretcher bearers. Party after

Keane went out to find them. He
found them dead, lying across the

had been killed in their work Of mercy
by the Germans. At that moment a

capture Keane, but it ended in his kill

to surrender and to carry the wounded

had killed back to the allied lines.

view the country and the Republican
party are indebted for the publication
OF this interesting document which car
ries a message from him "who, being
dead, yet speaketh." In the leading
article Of the current number Of the
North American Review Colonel Har-
vey sets forth the vital import of this
last penciled notation of Mr.. Rouse
welt. He says:
"Mr. Roosevelt died the acknowl-
edged leader of the great party into
which he was born. His last written
words, penciled by his own hand few
hours before his death and addressed
in the form of a memorandum for the

too, probably could have served his
purpose better than that these words
should have been his last. Difficult as
it is to reconcile oneself to the decree
of Divine Providence that the re.
moval of that great patriot at this cru
cial moment was not untimelv, we can
not but realize, as he would have been
the first to acknowledge, that the last
vestige of animosities which might
have continued to impair his highest
aspirations was buried with him, and
thereby the perfect union which he SO
ardently desired against all things un-
American was attained.
"Thus we find the Republican party
resuming full legislative authority

the peculiar confidence which so often
carried it to victory in former years. u

RO0SEvELT'S. DEPARTING
WORDS TO HIS COUNTRYMEN

Col. Roosevelt died about 4 o'clock
on the morning of January 6. The
previous evening at great patriotic
rally in the New. York Hippodrome q
message was read from him, written
especially for the occasion. In it was
this striking sentence:
"We have room for but one flag, the
American flag, and this excludes the
red flag, which symbolizes all wars
against liberty and civilization just as
much as it excludes any foreign flag
of nation to which we are hostile,
and we have room for but one
soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the
American people," ~

FLIGHT OVERSEE

Government Aviators Lay Plans
" to Be First to Cross
..- in Air.
PLANES TESTED on COAST
Picked Men and All Material Arc
Being Chosen for Attempt at
e.. Record Conditions Will Be
Ripe About June.

Washington-Navy aviation experts
are planning a flight across the At
lantic. Commander John 81. Towers
was ordered to take charge Of "the
development of plans and assembly of
material and personnel for the pro-
posed transatlantic flight"
Commander Towers has been In
charge of the naval reserve flying
corps and is considered an expert Of
the service in this branch.
Much attention has been given to
the project by the navy and recent
reports of similar plans by the British
naval aviation service have lent great
impetus to the work on this side.
The navy department during the war
developed a monster seaplane equipped
with three Liberty motors, giving it
about 1900 horsepower. This machine
has as it's body substantially built
boat and has carried as high as fifty
one persons in flights of, considerable
length. It has been tested out along
the Atlantic coast with great success
Land to Land Trip in 20 Hours.
When the project of transatlantic
flight was urged here by Major-Gen.
Brancker of the British air service
last year it was brought out that the
shortest distance would be from New
foundland to the Irish coast. This
is approximately 1900 miles, and given
a plane capable of sustained speed
of 100 miles an hour it could be made
In twenty hours. So far as known,
however, no plane has yet been built
which could make the trip without
stopping for refueling.
The route most generally favored in
naval circles, however, is by way of
the Azores, with a stop at these
islands for fuel and oil. This would
make the first leg 1900 miles and the
final lap 700. Some officers favor a
halfway stop at sea to refuel from a
destroyer if it is considered impossible
to make the trip in single flight.
In general way it has been said
heretofore that the crew of any plane
attempting to cross the Atlantic would
be composed Of at least five men, two
pilots to provide relief at the levers,
two mechanics to care for the engines
and navigating officer to chart the
course.
Conditions Ripe About June.
AS to the weather it was said that
probably not before June would condi-
lions become stable enough to warrant
an attempt. Another quiet period &C.
ours in early fall. It is regarded as
doubtful that all preparations could be
made by the summer period, although
this is one of the things Commander
Tower will have to determine by care,
full study.
While there is a good deal of friend.
~ rivalry with the British govern.
ment over making the first transatlan-
tic flight, it is said that either nation
could count upon the cooperation of
the other. AS the prevailing winds
are from west to east in the Atlantic
the chances favor an attempt from this
side.

CITY READY TO TAKE
PASTORIUS STATUE
Acceptance Resolution in Coun-
ellis Today Expected to Re-
new Controversy

The city is ready TO accept the
Pastorious memorial monument COM
memorating the landing of the first Ger
man colonists in America and the found
ing of Germantown.
A bill to this effect will be presented
TO Councils this afternoon by Director
Datesman, of the Department of Pub
lic Works. under whose direction the
monument will be cared for.
The Pastorius monument is in Vernon
Park, Germantown ,~wherc it has stood
since the beginning of the war with
Germany, its outlines hidden by a
strong board barricade erected because
patriotic citizens refused to permit the
dedication of the memorial.
The objectors took exception to it be
cause they said it symbolized Prussian
m$itarism and was an insult to patri
otI American citizens. The intrOduc
ton of the measure today is expected
to reopen the controversy
The Fastorius monument was au
thorized by an act of Congress of March
4, 1911. The federal government agreed
to appropriate 800 900 if similar
amount was raised by the German
American Alliance.
The monument was completed ant
arrived at Vernon Park just about the
time of the declaration of war on Ger
many.
Citizens threatened to destroy it an,
for time it was necessary to keep {
constant watch over the memorial
Later the board barricade was erected
The city acceptance bill will be turnet
over to the city property committee o.
Councils for consideration.
