fayoring winds. It is true that the pre- vailing current Is from the east to West but with 0 flying boat of the N 0 l type, according to naval aviators, 1t is unwise to count on moro than occa. sional assistance from the wind. Available data show that for only eight days in the month in which the flight is expected to be made Is there e strong wind bearing to the east up to an altitude of 1000 feet. This altitude, it is stated is probably the one at which the navy flight will be averaged. Naval airplanes have not been devel- oped to fly at the high altitude of land aircraft.
 "The navy's interest in 8 flight a. cross the Atlantic dates back to 1914, when Glenn Curtiss brought Comman der John c. Porte to the United States to pilot Rodman Wanamaker's flying boat America across the ocean. This attempt was not successful. The navy kept abreast of developments in flying boats with view to crossing the At lantic, but made no definite plans until last year"
 In relating the later history of the navy's project, the manufacturers air craft association says in it's statement: ''In October 1918. after our early ex- periences in the conflict had demon. trated that aircraft would become a major means of transportation, naval officer, on his own initiative, prepared a comprehensive review of all attempts It long distance flying over the water. This report was laid before Secretary Daniels and was approved. It stated positively the authors belief that the Atlantic flight could be accomplished the following year 1919) with the ma. terial already developed. The prepara' tion of this report coincides with the first successful flights of the N c L. fioht would be justified even while we were at war, and which gave detailed recommendations had the effect of committing the United States to the undertaking.
 The experiments in testing the various types of flying boats for adaptability to long distance flying range are set forth in the statement, As result of

Navy To TryIn May
 To Fly To Europe

The navy's attempt to fly across the Atlantic will be made on the first clear day in the first week of May. ac- cording to a statement issued yester- day by the Manufacturers Aircraft As sociation in which the history of the navy's preparations are made public. So confidendent are the navy's experts of the performances of the N c l fly ing boat, according to the statement, that they are willing to undertake the trip without the assistance of mother ships It is understood that the de- partment is insisting that mother ships be employed as a safeguard a. gainst vo:5i5le disaster.
 Other details of the proposed flight as outlined by the Manufacturers Air craft Association, are as follows:
 During trials at Rockaway last week one of the flying boats of the N 1 type left the water with 26,000 pounds gross load, as against 22,O00 believed at one time to be the limit of carrying capacity This means that the craft can, and probably will, car ry sufficient gasoline to cross from Newfoundland to the Irish coast with out alighting for fuel.
 Tt is definitely known that none of the flying boats to undertake the trip will carry correspondents. The crews of five men to each boat will consist If pilots, mechanics, and aerographers, One of the crew will also be wireless operator. Very little food will be car ried. The necessity for this will be re- moved by mother ships. The naval aviation service has developed a spe- cial type of seagoing vessel adapted to the care and repair of flying boats. It is this type which probably will be spread across the Atlantic. Destroyers such as those dispatched @ few days ago to Newfoundland with supplies for the flight will form links in the safe i line.
 Unlike individual aspirants. the navy is placing no great dependence on

THIRD MAN IS
BOUND OVER
FOR TR| A |

Manuel Vega, the third alleged Var
ney Bros robbery was arragned yes
terday in the justice court and bound
over for trial in the superior court
with bail fixed at $4,000.
In the testimony it was shown that
Vega and his wife ran a soft drink
stand in Imperial and that shortly
after the robbery last month of the
Brawley store, had in their possession
a quantity of articles alleged to have
been the loot obtained by the robbers
One witness testified that Vega had
tried to sell her number of silk pet
ticoats at a greatly reduced price
This witness also testified that she
accompanied Vega and his wife to
Jacumba on the Fourth and that Mrs.
Vega had worn many silk dresses and
articles of clothing that the other tes-
timony in the hearing showed to be
the property of Varney Bros.
1t was also shown by the prosecu-
tion that Vega in company with two
other men appeared in Calipatra dur

deavored to dispose of a quantity of

part of the stolen property.
Just as court adjourned, Mrs. Vega
brushed past prosecution witness, A
c. Bassey of Calexico, and said in
Spanish to him, ''I'll get you for this

In this argument it was brought
deZ, that she never married Vega and
had only known him slightly over

She stated that she had met him
! in Brawley and that he had told her
that he lad permission to live with
her and that no marriage license was
necessary as neither was the mar

It is stated that Vega has also
made threats against the prosecuting
witnesses and additional charges al

GERMANS RULE
NO LONGER IN
HAPPY BOHEMIA

Among the Industrious settlers in
Imperial county there is a number
of Czechoslovaks who are enthusiastic
over the future of the new republic
of CZechoslavakia after four centur-
les of struggle against Germanic rule.
Altho Czeckoslavakia does not COM
prise much more than tenth of the
total area of the disrupted Austrian
Empire, it has a population of about
13 100000. 1t is a country of great
scenic beauty and natural wealth., its
products approXimating one-halfs of
Austria's total.
CZechoslavakia comprises all OF the
ancient kingdom of Bohemia. 1t IS by
this name that we know it on our at
las. For several centuries these peo-
pie hemmed in and out-numbered by
Teutons have preserved their native
language and their national aspira-
tons, handing them down from faith
er to son thru a dozen or more gener-
ations. A musical people-kubelik,
whose fingers are insured for hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, is one
of them-they have used music to
preserve their language when they
were denied it's ordinary use. Forced
to fight for their hated oppressors
they surrendered whenever they could
to enlist in the armies that were bat
tling for the freedom of the world;
and so, when the armiStice was sign
ed they We're fighting on every war
front against common foe.
The Czechoslovaks feel that they
owe their independence to President
Wilson's early declaration of their
right to it and there are said to be
more American flags in Prague. their
ancient capital than could be found
in any American city of equal size,
When they took possession of their
country they found that it had been
stripped of all of its livestock and
all its food supplies that could be
carried off. They found themselves
with a million children, sick and dy-
ing for the want of food; they have
been forced to defend their territory
against the Reds or Hungary; but
with indomitable will they are meet
ing these problems of reconstruction
within and the enemy without.
A Czechoslav regiment that has
distinguished itself in Russia is due
to arrive in Camp Kearney mex
week. and a large delegation from
Imperial county will go there to Civ
them greeting.
Imperial Valley press., 1919-07-18

the Grand total thus reached will be
$4,000, 600.
The impression among those versed
in county fiscal matters is that the
total county and school burden will
be about one-third more for the pres
ent fiscal year than it was in 1918-19.
In other words for every dollar tax
payer paid last year he will Fay an
additional third this year; altho the
apparent rate per 500 will be much
lower provided the supervisors car
ry out their contemplated plan.
The present rate for all county and
school district taxes arun between
800 and $50 in the older districts.
The total rate in FL Centre is 3.34.
A doubling up of the assessed valua-
tion of 1913 without any increase in
the tax burden would make the rate
one-half of 1884 or 1.67. The total
assessed valuation of Ell Ccntro is
1913 was S2.475,727. Any rate above
1.G7 on doubling up of this assess
ment would mean an increase in the
actual tax.
