town while Sloan took photographs of
the city, the machine descended on
the Washburn field.
Long before . O'Clock this morn
ing a crowd of several thousand peo-
pie had gathered on the Washburn
field to watch the big De Haviland
planes land.
Topeka Aviators There.
Practically every Topeka man who
was in the aviation service during the
war and who has been discharged was
on the Washburn campus to greet the
first air men when they arrived. Also,
there was a delegation from the
Chamber OF Commerce and guards to
keep the crowd out of the landing
field.
Real Topeka Welcome.
on landing the flyers were given
the first taste of a real Topeka well
come. Professional and we'll trained
hands-those OF men trained in the
handling and the care of army planes
were the first to touch and help
the flyers as they bounced over the
uneven campus field. The wings of
the planes were grasped and saved
from any possible injury. and safely
stopped the. planes were quickly
placed so as to he out of the way of
the other flyers. The landing was
done in perfect order and not a single
mishap married the incoming of the
| flyers.
Served by Red Cross.
Immediately the last plano was
safely slowed away as per army regu-
lations the pilots and the mechanics
who occupied the nacelles of the ma
chimes were taken to the special Red
Cross canteen tent erected at one
point in the landing field and we're
given great cups of hot coffee and a
chicken sandwich. That is they were
| given chicken sandwich es. The Red
Cross canteen company which served
the men today was in itself a special
reception committee. Its personnel
were the seven captains of the day
companies of the canteen, aided by
Mrs. w, A. Billy. Mrs. T. d. Alden
and Miss Fayeben Williams. The
team was under the direct command
OF Mrs. w. G. Dickie, captain of the
Tuesday company of the Red Cross
canteen in Topeka.
Field Was Prepared
One of the surprises in store for the
aviators when they landed here to-
day was the homelike appearance Of
the field. In fact, its nominees" was
startlingly apparent even before the
planes started to descend.
Spread on the ground was the big
white landing "T' on which aviators
depend for direction in landing. Then
the pylon flying high on its staff
was seen. This shows the descending
flyer the wind direction and enables
MN to come down nose into the
| wind But the especial features
which made the landing field especial
ly homelike was the big ambulance.
manned by former air service ambu-
lance men, resting-as tho waiting for
ITS prey-in one corner of the landing
field. Close beside this gloomy mon
ster. suggestive of sudden death and
danger cuddled a small army motor
cycle and sidecar-iust like the ones
used in the flying fields to lend wings
to first aid men,
Topeka extended a real welcome 10

is to her credit

Capt. Elliott Porter Says United States

America did not win the war,
neither did she end the war. America
just helped her allies end the war and
win the war.
This was the statement made at the
Chamber of Commerce this noon by
Capt. Elliott Porter, son of Justice
Silas Porter of Topeka. Captain Por-
ter held his commission in the British
army.

American ambulance driver. He stay
ed in this service for some time. tried
to gain a commission in the French
army, but on account of laI."uLge
qualification failed, went to England
and was commissioned as a trench
mortar battery officer
Practically the whole of Captain
Porter's talk was devoted to express
sion of his high regard for the British
and French people. He told of the
deeds of the Britons in holding the
line during four years of war. and
spoke of their attitude toward them
selves. He said they simplySwen out
and did what came for them to do,
and did rot talk of themselves in
terms of lf-glorification.
He said the British had all praise
for the American soldiers. and declar-
ed that it is up to America to see that
Britain gets due credit for her share
in the war.

Flames.

Washington, May 2O.-Wireless tel
ephones will soon take the place of
telephone wires in protection of the
national forests of the country from
fires, if contemplated trials prove sue
cessful, it was announced today.
Complete sets of apparatus are to be
installed on Mount Hood, at an eleva-
ton of about $4,000 feet. and at the
nearest forest range station, about
twelve miles away, for a trial, it was

placed in the Clearwater forest region

of experiments, particularly in the eff

tween telephone stations.
