GROSS-CONTINENT
FLIGHT DESCRIBED

The first flight across the Ameri-
can continent was described by two
of the participants in the epoch
making event when Major J H. Me-
kee. flight surgeon, and Lieut.. Robert
L. Worthington, pilot, addressed the
members Of the National Geographic
Society in the auditorium of the New
Masonic Temple last night.
That the West is more widely
awake than the East to the ipossibili
ties of the airplane in times of peace
was the opinion of both speakers
sheir conclusions being drawn from
the eagerness with which the West
ern towns sought to be included on
the air route map by making elabo
rate provisions for landing fields
lcarefully< marked and leveled.
The flight, which took several
weeks of elapsed time, was made in
less than sixty hours Of actual flying
the route being from San Diego to
CaleXicO, Phoenix. Tucson, Deming,
FL Paso, Houston, New Orleans, Mont
gomery, Jacksonville, Daytona, Sa-
vannah, Raleigh, Petersburg, Wash
ington, and New York.
Major Mckee, in one of his two lee
lures, told Of the uses Of the hospital
airplane, and expressed tneN belief that
IL would prove OF ineStimable value
in carrying aid to the injured in out
of-the-way places. He narrated one
instance where the hospital plane
reached an injured aviator thirty
miles from headquarters half an hour
after his fall, how the sufferer had
his wounds dressed on the field and
was taken back to the post hospital
and placed on the operating table, all
within an hour and forty minutes,
whereas the motor ambulance was
unable to get back to the post over
the rough roads in less than twelve
hours.
Lieutenant WOrthington declared
that when he returned to his post at
San Diego he would have flown 1900
miles on this trip-about five million
inches, but that he would gladly ex-
change all Of them for four inches OF
gold braid on his sleeve.

ROTHSCHILD,
OF BRUSSELS, DIES

\ PARIS, Feb. Baron Lambert
RothschiId. leading Brussels banker.
who aided in the formation Of the
Belgian relief commission, died in
Paris Thursday.
When the GeTmans occupied Bel
Sium IN 1914 and a famine was threat
eniaE Brussels because food was I'm
obtainable, Baron Rothschild went to
London with Hugh S. Gibson, secre-
lary Of the American legation in
Brussels, and guaranteed to pay for
0,0O0 tons OF foodstuffs. The food
was purchased through Herbert G.
Hoover. now the director general OF
relief It was the first purchase made
by the organization, which, after
ward, became the Commission for Re
lief il Belgium.
Later, when General Won Bissing,
the German governor general, levied
q fne or 10000, 900 francs on the city
or Brussels, the Golfers Of which were
empty. Baron Rothschild came to the
rescue, and through his bank as
sudned responsibility for part Of the
tribute demanded by the Germans.
BGron Rothschild's wife died in
Paris during the war. She and her
husband played a part in bringing
Rou-nEnia into the war on the side
OF the allies. On one occasion cour-
Ter being sent to Roumania was in
tercepted. and suspicion was turned
against Baroness Rothschild. She es-
capped arrest only through the inter
Vention OF Brand Whitlock, the Amer
lean Minister, but had TO apologize to
Won Bissing and promised to refrain
from such acts i'm the future.
Baron RothschiId himself was held
hostae-s by the Germans at one time
because he was slow in paying trib-
ute Of $2.OO0,O0O.
Baron ROthschild's son was wound
Cd severely while serving with the
Belgian army.

EXPLAIN
BAN ON j. S. GOODS

Industrial unrest, a money TT
age and a difficult Industrial situa-
tion in England were reasons assign
ed by British embassy officials for
Britain's embargo on American goods.
1t was emphasized, first, that the
embargo is only a temporary measure
to stabilize conditions in England;
second, that the embargo is in no way
commercial warfare declared by Great
Britain against the United States.
England has not the dollar ex-
change to pay for commodities, it was
explained, laborers are striking, and
demobilized soldiers are walking the
streets without employment.

Everybody Will Be Puzzled.

Right on hand this may appear as
being a comparatively easy matter
to accomplish. SO it would be pros
vidfng the story, for the entire twen-
ty-nine chapters, was written by the
same individual, but when the origi-
nal tangle has been picked to pieces,
and then reassembled no less than
twenty-nine times by the same num-
Der of writer's, the task Of the last
chapter writer will be anything but
easy.
That is why the suggestion comes
along right now, that every reader
of The Washington Times immedi-
ateIy renew acquaintance with our
gifted friend Sherlock Holmes, and
then-through a process of mental
observation-disclosures the point of
least resistance, and figure and
delve through every possible angle
of the mystery, as the story unfolds
itself daily in The Washington
Times.
At the conclusion of the very first
chapter there will be discovered a
situation which in itself brings the
entire story perilously near disas-
.rous finale and it will require an
element of marked ingenuity for the
writer Of the second chapter to res
,ue beautiful Madeline Lucille Con-
nor from the devilish trap of de-
struction, when he takes up the al
ready tangled threads Of the story
H. IL, ys-fl1 YUr1nTN hNoHlU
bring into play all his hidden liter
airy genius in formulating thrilling
finale to his chapter so that the
writer of the third chapter will be
called upon to do some marvelously
rapid thinking in order to maintain
the top notch interest in the story on
the following day.
1t can be readily gathered that the
characters around which this web Of
mystery is woven will find them
selves in "A thousand-and-one hair
raising situations, any one OF which
would be amply sufficient for any
selt-respecting hero or bewhiskered
villain TO encounter in any one
straight recital. But in this collab-
orative word picture there will be
no rest for the weary as it is an as
sured fact the entire personnel of
the story will be forced to work
overtime In the frantic effort to
keep pace with the reader and close
follower of the story, as the plot
thickens and at the same time un-
winds from day to day.
AS Washington is noted the world
over for its superabundance of cul
ture, education and refinement, the
problem of creating the most logical
conclusion to this absorbingly fasci-
mating mystery, will prove most
lucrative and interesting pastime.
Nearly everybody has the innate
germ OF the "genii literari" bottled
up in their brain cells and only await
the real opportunity to demonstrate
their ability in the classical art of
short-story writing.
At any rate-think this overall
that is necessary for you to do to
win The Washington Times prize of
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOL
LARS is that you read the entire
story carefully, from day to day, un-
til the twenty-ninth chapter is
reached and then submit your own
conception as TO what you think
