"hen crossing the Luxembourg line into
Germany "Garry Owen" Bandnastcr
Gdw'n I'tzman and Sergeant Patrick
olokes, ms assistant. agreed on this
programme for the Iinc Of march.
:, 't wi!l be the first time that New
iorkers will review an enlisted mans
band with the old 69th, Bandmaoter
Altman said. In the National Guard
days, combination of professional
musicians composed the musical repre-
sentatlon of the outfit. At Camp Mills
last june, Bandmaster Zitzman, as
signed from the I'd Field Artillery Of
BROOKLYN, where he organized the first
mounted band Of the National Guard.
whipped group Of embryonic mu,
slcIans into splendid playing shape.
The war record of the band is as
envlable as that of the warrinr dough
boys of the 69th. Three men, Including
sergeant Stokes, were wounded by
shrapnel, while more than twenty-five
broke down under the terrific strain of
playing for battalian after battalion
renewed re from service in the trenches.
The band was on an average OF five
kilometres behind the front line, within
easy range of the cnemy's guns.
Zitzman predicted that hundreds Of
tourists at resorts along the Rhine will
hear tiny German urchins whistlinc
and singing, Hail. hail, the gangs ali
here" or humlning the "Wearing OF
the Green" The children of France
and Germany followed the band in
droves. At each guard mount, while
IN Germany, they would assemble by
the hundred, he said While at one
place the band played at hotel, where
Llnpcror William entertained ex-Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt years ago.
1t was announced at regimental head
quarters to-day that all members OF
the regiment must be in camp for taps
on Sunday night. Practically the entire
regiment will be given leave on Satur-
day. The men will proceed straight to
the starting point of the parade from
the trains that take then. from camp
Monday morning.
The 165th is proud Of the heroic
services of its medical detachment. Not
a single case OF stretcher bearers
lowering their wounded under she'll
fire, was recorded. Tho fcats of Ser
geant William Lekker and Private
Adams are part of regimental history.
They climbed over the tor in q lcadcn
VAN to bring in wounded doughboys.
Livery man of the medical detach-
ment prizes a personal letter of COM
mendation sent to him by Colonel Will
lam Donovan.

Each State MAJ
Foster Aviation,
Under New Plan
Government Will Be Asked
to Let National Guard
Have DemObilized E'iicrs
and Surplus Equipment
N,m Yorh Tribune

TdshtnUtOn " bureau
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Advocateg
or military acronautics as an essential
means Of national preparation, it was
learned day, are preparing FOR sub
mission TO the proper army officers Il
plan that they believe Will accomplish
these things:
l'irst-Providc a useful disposition
OF large part, If not all, Of the sur
plus avlation equipment now in ,he
hands Of The air service.
second Utilize the gcrvices and
maintain The interest in aeronautics
Of tho 5000 flicrs who WIN soon be
dcmobIlizcd
Third Establish training me-
dlum not inconsistent with civil life
that VIII each year break in thou
sands OF young fliers az the older
ones pass the age limit, and attract
to aviation tons Of thousands Of nc
chanlcs, many OF whom Will uIti-
inately become fliers.
The hackers Of the new idea say that
they have found the one way in which
the government can get anything like
adequate value out OF the vast number
OF planes, engines, balloons and other
equipment that was accommodating for
a flying force of 10000 men. At last
reports the General Staff had reduced
the air service recommendation from
a peace establishment Of 100000 men
to $4,000, having descended by steps of
$4,000 and $4,000.
A force of $4,000 men means about
seven or eight hundred actual fiers
and would not be sufficient to keep the
equipment OH hand in good condition.
If the national force is no larger than
that there will be no alternative but to
sell at an enormous sacrifice equipment
that has cost hundreds Of millions end
to scrap large part of it.
There arc enough aviation motors
and planes on hand now to afford
primary, secondary and advanced
training to national guardsmen for
years to come. BY diverting surplus
equipment to the national guard it can
be used until its value has been
realized, whereas ii it is sold it will
hardly bring in enough to pay the
overhead expense of disposing OF it
for as yet there is practically no mar
let tor airplanes-and will at the
same time deprive a new industry of
it's commercial outlets.
1t is said that at least thirty states
will be glad to add air service groups
to their national guard establishments
If there were to be only one squadron
to state, that would mean thirty ma
chimes for training purposes alone.
which would dispose Of a large part
of the surplus training planes and
engines that are in good condition,
taking about 1000 Of the former and
5000 of the latter.

ADV ERTISEMENT

AS L ~ iildlly lldppy
I days with the workers
'A> in the Wilson & Co.
plant, Chicago, that ! find
myself thinking about them
very often even to the
point of waking up at 3
o'clock in the morning, as I
did just now, and recalled
what a worker said to me
one day after I had com
mented on the habit Of the
workers in smiling at their
tasks. This is what he
said:
oh, THIS is A SMILE
ORGANIZATION"
| said to myself, I am
going to get up and go to
my den, where [ have writ
ten most Of these letters to
you, and jot down a few
thoughts about this remark
OF the smiling workrnen,
and these are the things I
jotted down:
If $4,000 workers smile
only once an hour eight
hours a day, they smile
100000 smiles in a working
day. IF each smile averages
three inches (and I think
this is the average distance
tween the corners Of the
mouth when it is engaged in
snlling), they smile 100000
inches of smiles in day, or
nearly 10 miles of smiles.
Then the thought occurred to
me that you and J. ought to feel
mighty good to know that
Wilson & Co. food products.
which come to our table, arc
better products because they
are prepared for US under the
right kind Of conditions.
Don't you think that VIC ought
to feel the greatest confidence in
the food we eat when we think
OF the fact that it comes to US
accompanied by the smiles of
the men and women who pre-
pared it for us?
Don't forget that a smile is a
token of contentment, and conf
dence, and faith, and integrity
tour elements that you and |
welcome in the production of the
foods we cat.
Now let me tell you why it is
that everything that is done by
the workers in the Wilson &. Co.
organization is prompted by
desire to put their heart, their
soul, and their intelligence into
their work.
The best illustration I can give
you is to print here some ex-
cerpts from a recent talk Gin
forrnaD made by Mr.. Wilson to
the forenen and workers in his
Chicago plant on April I'd last:
L wish it were possible for me to
Ind the time TO meet and confer with
you men oftencr. We have now
come to the time when we are
through Il with the stress of war. 7 /
appreciate the strain under which
you men worked and want now 70
acknowledge my gratitude to YOU
because you made it possible for this
Company TO accomplish what it has
during the past three years.
The standing Of this Company.
through your efforts, has been ele-
vated far and beyond what it was
three years ago, and know that
what we have accomplished could |
lot have been accomplished except
through you, your cooperation and
nose Of our workers who worked
lnder your direction.
You know that we are trying to run
his business on fair and square
2lan-sQuare to the consumer, square
% the producer, and square to the
1t is very important that we stand
IN this platform or principle, or VIC
will go backwards, and that we can
lot afford to do ever. We want the

late always our statements in public

gagged in producing the best food
products that can possibly be manu-
actured.

EXPECTS U. S. FLIGHT
OYER SEA IN MONTH
Rear Admiral Taylor Predicts
Attempt With at Least
Two Navy Planes.
JUMP WITHOUT A STOP
British Effort to Cross At
lantic in Dirigible Looked
For at Early Date.
JUMP WITHOUT A STOP

An attempt may be made by the navy
to bridge the Atlantic by airplane within
a month. Rear Admiral Taylor. chief of
the bureau OF construction and repair,
who has under his direct charge the
completion of the four big navy planes
now being constructed, made that pre-
diction at the Aeronautical Exposition
yesterday. He was with Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels, and sailed with him
later for Europe.
Admiral Taylor was supremely con-
fident that the United States will be the
first nation to make the venture, and he
said that to guard against accident at
least two big planes. and probably more,
will start, of which at least one is sure
TO finish. He also made known for'the
first time that the flight to be attempted
will be an uninterrupted jump from
Long Island to Ireland, or IL a stop is
absolutely necessary 1t will be made in
midocean at the side of a mother ship
This is the first time that any one in
authority has suggested that the flight
might be a continuous one from this
continent to the United Kingdom, and
probably means that the flying boats Of
the navy have been constructed with an
unusual fuel storage space, such as
would be impracticable in an airplane so
built that it could light only on the land.
British DirisibIe Expected.
"I do not believe that Great Britain
will beat us across IL the attempt is
made with heavier than air craft said
Admiral Taylor. I'VE are under the inn
preston in Washington, however, that a
dlrigible trip will be undertaken by the
British possibly the coming week.
1.-THE navy has four flying boats of
the n CT type, and work on these has
almost been completed. 1t has not yet
been decided whether all four will be
sent over at the same time, but l be-
lieve that more than one will start. This
will insure against total failure should
one or two break down.
I'VE may break the flight into two
hops. This will entail the use Of airplane
mother ships vessels equipped with
gasoene, oil and food Through their
wireless mother ships can keep in touch
with the flying boats. Although the fly
ing boats may slight only once at sea it
is possible, II several start. that more
than one mother ship could be used.
81 doubt very much whether the Brit
ism Government has available a heavier
than air flying machine TO land on the
water and yet be able to cross the At
lantic II they have we have not heard
OF It. All the reports / have received
have had to do with land machines
equipped possibly with pontoons. With
the n c and its counterparts We can
alight at will"
