Emergency Landings on Jour-

Revised lists showed yesterday that
fifty-six airmen will depart from Min
cola and sixteen from San Francisco in
the round trip transcontinental race,
which is to start on Wednesday.
Although most of the machines in the
race are American. motored by Liberty
engines, there are also British. French
and Italian planes, so the race will have
an international aspect With the ex-
ception of the British and French air

are United States army officers assigned
to the Air Service.
The work of stocking the twenty con-
troll stations with fuel. oil and spare
parts for the machines is well under
way. Two thousand gallons Of gaso-
lene and 800 gallons each of motor and
castor oil will be on hand at each con-
troll, where each contestant must stop.
Minor repairs will be made, but any
flier remaining more than forty-eight
hours at a patrol station will be disqual-
flied. The repairs, as well as other ex-
periences in the air and on the ground,
will be entered by the pilot in his log
book. These records win be Of great i'm

Mechanics were busy yesterday at
Mineola tuning up the various machines
for the long flight. A huge supply of

this is being tested to make sure there
will be no engine failure because of poor
fuel
Instructions were issued yesterday by
the Army Air Service that the ships
were to start at two minute intervals, so
that all would be clear Of the field within
two hours. Pilots and others protested
at this order as they pointed out that
the machines might pile" up at the first

day Netos, as secretary of the General
Federation of Trade Unions, declaring it
is unthinkable that the majority of trade
unionists can support action which, hav-
ing political objectives, must lead to
revolution. He adds:
There is no doubt as TO the inten-
tions of some men they have too little
reflective capacity or discretion t" keep
their intentions from public view. They
have talked revolution with no more
sense Of responsibility than would be
required II they were purchasing a peck
of potatoes. A change is necessary, but
in an enlightened community IT should
come by consent, not by force. Rail-
way workers as a class are orderly in
character; in action. II they follow their
traditions. they will stear clear of the
revolutionaries who have endangered
their happiness and their prosperity"

that lawyers. teachers. students, preach

try as students, attend night schools.
then send for a picture bride and ulti-
mately raise a family of American born

"The other entrance feature OF the bill
Is that those eligible for citizenship who
do not come with passports for tenn

taking oath at the port of entry that
they are coming for the purpose of OBJ
tanning citizenship ultimately, that they
hre willing to register once year with
Goevrnment officials, and obey all regu-
lations and laws of the country. The
understanding would be that they are
here on probation and would be deported
for iolation of regulations.
This would give the Government a
check on all the foreigners and their ac-
tivities. They must remain on proba-
tior for two years before taking out first
papers. After the first papers are taken
out the immigrant must remain i've

I am satisfied that nine-tenths of the
