A Little Treatise ON Patri-

Something of a Tiff
In the House, Last Tuesday

MR. BARLEY: Will the gentle
A*1 man yield7
MR.. MOORE Of Pennsylvania. Yes.
MR.. BARKLEY: The gentleman
suggests that the government had
great difficulty in putting over the
Fifth Victory Loan among the people
Supposed" to be patriotic. l would
like to call attention to the fact that
the people whom he "supposes" to be
patriotic were patriotic enough to
oversubscribe the loan nearly a billion
dollars. Applause.l
MR. MOORE Of Pennsylvania: That
did not come from all sections of the
country. There we're two districts
that did not make up their quota, but

districts will say this as to pa

raised the question: 1 think the boy

MR.. GAMBLER: I always yield with
great pleasure to my friend, for l
am personally very fond Of him. and
he Is a very useful member Of this
House. [Applause.]
MR.. MOORE of Pennsylvania: Did
not my good friend say On one &C.
casion that the universe would
crumble and come to an end if we did
not make an appropriation for the
Tombigbee River?
MIR. GAMBLER: Oh, no; did not
say that. l am liable to say anything
and everything about tho Tombigbee,
and it all would be deserved, but it
was not necessary to say it. The Tom
bigbee River, with it's magic, necessity
and beauty, pervades this country and
even foreign countries, and because of
the merit of its necessary improve
ment in the interest of navigation it
speaks for itself. [Applause.l

The Man Who
Sailed for the
North Pole

to be done by lacking as boat is
tackled on the water"
There were months Of waiting on
Dane Island, near Spitzbergen, for
favorable southern wind and then
1.-The three daring sailors Of the air cut
loose the balloon from its moorings
Sunday, July IL, 1897 At the very
start it seemed that disaster was about
to overtake the venture. The balloon
foated low and sluggishly before
south wind, then suddenly, without ap-
parent cause, it dipped down and al
most touched the sea. Ballast was
frantically flung from the basket and
in a few minutes the balloon shot up
ward and it was not long before 1t was
lost to sight beyond the serrated range
Of icy mountains that rose as a bar
rier between Spitzbergen and the dis
tant goal of the adventures 617 miles
away in the heart of the frozen North
land. From that hour to the present
nothing was ever seen of the balloon
or its occupants and only unverified
rumors have ever come back to account
for the probable fate of the three brave
men who placed honor and glory above
the fear of death.
GAS a means Of communication,
Andree had carried with him several
carrier pigeons and number of
specially constructed aerial buoys to
which were attached cylinders in
which messages could be inclosed and
sealed. Four days after Andree had
sailed a carrier pigeon was shot on

Paralleling Hawker in 1912

"HE flight Of Harry G. Hawk
er recalls a fiction flight
across the ocean which
was made by William Nc
Fee in his novel, "Aliens," pub
lished last year, but conceived by
McFee in, 1912. McFee did not
write his novel for the purpose of
predicting a transatlantic flight, but
the flight is almost identical with
the fight of Harry Hawker, with
the exception that the aviator
crosses from England to America.
Not only does this irresponsible
Carville, who Is only wild spirit
conceived in order to torment his
steadier brother, fly the ocean, but
he does so under the auspices of a
London newspaper proprietor, a
Lord Cholme, and he makes excellent
use Of the wireless telephone-all in
1928. Really quite remarkable,
all around.
The following quotation will in
dictate how curiously Mr.. McFee has
parelleled Harry Hawker:
GAIL this is more or less apropos of
Mr.. Francis Lords (the flying name of
Frank Carville) arrival in New York
after having crossed the Atlantic in q
seaplane. AS matter Of fact, Mr..
Francis Lord was making for Key West,
when what is called engine trouble
(probably solder in the filter) caused
him to descend to the surface Of per-
fectly smooth sea. The weekly mail
boat from Belize to New York was
speeding up the Florida channel when
the officer Of the watch made out a
large triplane ahead of him. 1t was
apparently trying to rise, but without
success. The course Of the steamer
was altered to bring her more in the
way Of the machine. Just as they
we're approaching the triplane rushed
across their bows, slid down sideways
completely submerging the right hand
planes. The ship was stopped and 6
boat lowered. According to the laconic
report of the commander, who seemed
more anxious to claim q record fol-
his boat crew than to share the glory
of saving an eminent airman's life
they had the boat up and we're under
way again inside Of eighteen minutes

riage into the ocean, and the pub
lie responded with more admiration
than if he had actually succeeded in
landing at Brooklands. The signif-
icance is that Mr.. McFee, as we'll
as being novelist of the very high
est merit, is also a Judge Of pub
licity.
The use Of the wireless telephone,
or "aerophone," as McFee calls it,
enters the novel twice, once in a
fight of his aviator from England
to Germany. Lord Cholme's &C.
count of this remarkable feat in
"The Morning." his largest news
paper, is given under the following
head:
Aerophone Message From Carviue;
Over Heligolo1ad. Alarm In
Germany.
The following is the fictitious
newspaper account which McFee
put in the words Of Lord Cholme:
"The empire can no longer afford to
pass by one Of her most brilliant sons
In the light of his magnificent achieve
ment, the daring of a Peary, the nerve
Of Shackleton, the indomitable per-
sistence of a Marconi, dwindle and
fade. We do not hesitate to say that
since the capture of Gibraltar the en-
pire has secured no such chance TO,
consolidating her paramountcy in Eu.
rope. The present is no time for hest.
tation or delay. Mr.. Carville is master
of the situation. By his message from
the air, 5000 feet above Heligoland, ir
full view of German territory, to the
Office Of The Morning. he has demon
strated the efficiency of his machine
If that Is not sufficient, Mr.. Carville':
next journey will convince Europe, il
not England. If the pettifogging Radi
cal government turn a deaf ear to oul
brilliant correspondent, if they ignore
his claim and chatter in any CONNIE rcia
spirit with his accredited agents, theil
days are numbered. 1t is hardly toe
much to say that the days of the EN-
pire are also numbered"
If McFee has not depicted Lore
Northcliffe numbering the days O.
Lloyd George, we do not know wht
ever will give a perfect picture o.
that great political controversy.
The following scene illustrates tn,

ether side Of the water at $50 a month
was a patriot.
MR.. BARKLEY There is no differ
ence between the gentleman and me
on that
MR.. MOORE Of Pennsylvania: But
when it comes to the man that went
into the Agricultural Department or
any other department at a good salary
and helped there while war was going
on, there is a slight difference. When
it comes to the man who buys Vic
tory Bond or a Liberty Bond setting
up his patriotism against that of the
soldier, am a little skeptical. He
has simply made the best investment
on earth, l do not care from what
section Of the country he comes.
[Applause.l He was not barring his
breast to the enemy; he was doing a
safe and shrewd business There was
no special patriotism in that; it was
sound business. If the gentleman's
state was so prosperous, If the gentle
mans state raised certain commodi-
ties that went abroad in large quaint
ties so that they could buy Liberty
bonds and lay them away in safe
when other men were laying down
their lives, It was fortunate, that is
all.
MIR. BARKLEY: l did not rise to
interrogate the gentleman in order to
compare the patriotism of those who
bought bonds and those who fought
/ can assure the gentleman that the
people of my state did their full share
both Of fighting and buying bonds.
MR.. MOORE Of Pennsylvania:
made the comparison because the gen
tleman WAS trying to put me in hole
on tho subject of patriotism. The
gentleman from Kentucky, brilliant as
he is, must get up earlier in the morn
ing than o'clock to do that
MR.. BARKLEY: Let me say to the
gentleman that ] was not trying to
put him in hole. was trying to
help him out of one.

Francis Lord was press-agented BY
the eminent, fictitious British Jour
ralist, Lord Cholme, in the follow
ing manner:
"The astute Lord Cholme had pro-
vided press agent. This gentleman.
we heard long afterward, was in Sa-
vannah experimenting the first rehear-
ais of gigantic flm-drama depicting
the Conquest Of the Atlantic On hear
Ing of his principals arrival on
steamer, he took the next train north.
and from the moment he reached Mr..
Francis Lords hotel on Fifth Avenue,
Mr. Francis seemed lost to view"
The route which the press agent
described was somewhat like that
Of the NC-4: "Barometer's been
steady now all over the Atlantic, so
he's gone south - Madeira, Azores,
Barbados, and so on. Hits America
in Florida, maybe, where it's easy
landing among all them bayous and
swamps."
At the same time Mr.. McFee made
Swiss who was trying to beat Mr..
Francis Lords flight by going from
Lake Geneva to Lake Erie
A curious parallel in this novel,
which Doubleday, Page & Co. pub
lished in 1918, after it had been re-
jected many times by other COM
panies, is presented in a discussion
between the narrator Of the story
it is told in the first person-and the
friend with whom he lives in New
Jersey. They are arguing about the
failures Of Mr.. Lord and his press
agent to attract the attention of the
American press and people:
"'But,' l argued mildly, what could
he do? Do you propose he should hire
a theatre and exhibit himself? Why
should he want to be advertised
"'You miss the whole point he re-
torted. Why did Whistler wear that
white lock of hair of his? Why did
Wilde start that Green Carnation
stunt? Why did Chamberlain wear a
monocle, or Gladstone big collars? 1t
was simply to fix their personalities in
the public mind. If you've done a big,
wise thing the public won't take any
notice of you unless you do some little,
silly thing"

use Of wireless telephone by which
one Of the minor characters in this
novel talks to the remarkable Car
vllles while the latter is in the air.
He is telling the story in letter to
his relatives in America, who are
the main spokesman Of the novel:

front of him. He began to pull plugs,
and presently he laughed and said:

"A gentleman wishes to know your
altitude at this moment. What is the
reading?' Silence, and then, -Four
thousand metres so! Waltz He got
up and offered mo the receivers. sat
down and put them on, and immedi-
ately seemed to be in the midst Of
the widest uproar. 1t was like kettle
drums playing In a high wind. could
distinguish the thunder Of the ex-
hausts, for there were two engines,
and one of them was missing badly
and making noises like gunshots
Speak, said D'Aubign6 into my neck,
SO I said, 'Hullo, are you there, Car
ville?' And thin, high, metallic
voice, like a gramophone's, sounded
among the noises. Yes, I am here.
What's up?' oh said, I'm only
trying this thing. How are you? No
reply for a moment, and then, 4 say,
you don't mind If 1 cut you out, do
you? Having a beastly time

William McFee worked out these
predictions not as science, but as
color for his novel, and the result
is scientific. He says in the same
book: "Let Science do her worst
humanity remains the same fasci-
mating enigma"
