the first ligterthan air machine
to cross the Atlantic ocean
anchored at Roosevelt flying
field at 9:54 a m today after an
aerial voyage Of lO8 hours and
IL minutes, which covered $50
knots, or Approximately 5000
land miles.
Passing through dense banks

visible only at rare intervals. the

When the future Zepp7in ar

Haggard. unshaven, their eyes
rloodshot from the long vigil and
lines of care bitten deep into
their faces, Ma jor G H Scott, the
commander, and his officers
showed plainly the effects Of the
anxious hours through which
they lived yesterday while they
were cruising over the far reach
es of Canada and the Bay of Fun
dy, bcset by fog, heavy winds
and terrific electrical storms.
1t seemed as though the at
mosphere was haunted by more
than 1900 devils, "said Lieut. Guy
f1arris, the neurological officer.
With the R-34 long overdue at
its destination petrol supply run
ming low and buffeted by strong
head winds, Major Scott decided
yesterday while oyer the Bay of
Fundy to send a wireless call to
the American navy department
to be prepared to give sassistance
if it were needed. This was
merely measure of precaution
and did not indicate discourage
ment. While destroyers a d
subm arine chasers were rushing
to her assistance, the R-34 was
plunging steadily ahead on the
way to Mineola, Once clear of
the Bay of Fundav the Atmos
pheric hoodoo (which had beset
the craft from the time it took

wake.

CANTEEN LADIES

Last Friday, July 4th, the Can
teen ladies again showed how
wonderfully they can do things
TIE feast that they collected and
prepared for the soldiers Of Row
an will never be forgotten. Ia
bles,= s,=hundreds Of feet long, were
piled high with fried chicken,
dear to the heart of doughboys,
cakes of all kinds pickles, ice
cream. refreshments, and other
good things that make the sol
dier's heart glad and his face to
shine.
When the writer walked past
these heavily laden tables, bear
ing good things Of all sorts and
collected from every part of the
county, and realize that these
ladies were called upon, after the
original plan failed, and had only
four days to get up that immense
diuner, he wondered how it was
done. How the telephone over
the county must have buzzed, the
Fords have hummed, and fat
chickens run for dear life before
those hastily formed plans were
put into execution.
TO the sweet, quiet women,
who with gentle voice and Won
derful power, heads the Salisbury
Canteen organization, to the
splendid women and girls, who
compose it, and to all those who
helped them, we the return
ed soldiers, wish to render our
sincere thanks and say that we
shall remember you not less than
the fine dinner you served. And
though the war is over, and your
organization may be disbanded
sometime, yet we hope that it
will be perpetuated and that each
Of xonr names will be written on
a bronze tablet and placed in a
public spot in the city to commem
or ate your record during the war
activities. This is written in be-
half of the soldiers and officers by
GONE OF THEM"
The Watchman gladly gives
space to the above for too much
cannot be said in praise oft he good
women who haved one so much to
alleviate the suffering, assist and
encourage the boys who went to
the front, who risked all and who
came back, weary, blind, wound =
ed and down but not out. These
ladies have been the oasis in the
desert of a great struggle and
heroically matched their sacri-
fees with those who crossed no
mans land and put the Hun be-
bevond the ability to carry out
hi, work of destruction.

For that reason he thought i
reasonable to call America the
greatest country in the world
North Carolina greatest of the
states, Rowan greatest Of the
counties. And he set the audi
ence on edge by telling them
that there was a soldier in tbs
audience whose exploit matched
Sergeant York s.
Senator Ovcrman had a sprink
ling of Confederate soldiers be-
fore him. The soldiery of the
boys whose return inspired the
celebration today was the equal
of the men who represented the
south IN 1861, he said. "When
our men we're called to France
the Germans were near Paris, y
he said. The German and
French soldiers always had an
objective, and when they had
reached it they quit. Not so
with our boys. When the Ger
mans ran the Americans ran
after them just as you follow ed
the Yankees with the rebel yell
after you had made them run.
The old fellows liked to have
their memories logged.
"And Tennessee as her
York. he exclaimed, "but but we
have here a Rowan county boy
who with eight other boys cap
tured 242 Germans the senator
said, while the crowd, soaked in
perspiratlon forgot its good
clothes and began to drum up its
rousementS.
But while they equalled the
soldiery of the Confederacy,
Senator Overman told the fight
ers, they must travel to make
the citizenship of today as fine
as that of their fathers. You
have come back to the greatest
country in the world he contin
ued "have come back with vic
tory and the applause of all man
kind. But your fathers return
ed not with victory, they came
back to II country a. desolate as
devastated as Belgium. Our
fields were wasted, there was
blood on every doorstep
First, in welcoming you back
to peace, l would advise you to
get homes. Whether you farm
or whatever you do get your
home. 1t will prove the great
est cure for this widespread un .
rest that we nave. The agitation
against our government does
net come from home-loving and
home owning Americans. That
is why in Congress we have
thought so much of legislation
looking to the encourag ement of
men making their homes.'
He declared there is no room
in this country for men who as
sail American institutions, then
seek protection of American
courts and institutions when
brought to account. Deporta
ton of the aliens who have re-
fused to become citizens and
swear allegiance to America is
going on hereafter as never be
fore, he declared
"Who will stand up or lift his
hand to indicate his opposition
to the league of nations?' he
asked, defending the Presidents
course in France, and nobody
desired to debate it. He declar-
ed the league simply the exten
sion of that larger intelligence
which settles rights by court
and disinterested persons rath-
er than by personal violence.

ing. almost verbatum, statement
of our big event of Friday.
Sails bury took this grand day
of prize fighting and the Incl
dent of patriotism and made
them serve the Rowan soldiers
who have returned from wander
ing on foreign strand as Mr.
Scott once called it.
And Salisbury turned up and
individual hero whom Rowan
offers as the equal of Sergeant
York. Private William B Lyer-
ly. who dragged in with another
companion 100 Germans, came
down from his home in upper
Rowan with John J Pershing's
decorations on him and creden-
tials signed by Black Jack. Th~
historical imagination had been
previously turned on Soldier
York, otherwise the startling
achievement Of Soldidr Lyerly
would have Gotham yallers clam
Oring for his picture.

bration might have been one of

tables, a fair ground full of soft

Senator Overman S speech was
the oratorical feature and the
junior mem Der from North Caro-
lima gave his homefoIks his
best. he did not let himself
out on the great issues, but he
showed himself much more sen
sible by talking the language of
Zion to his people. Never did
one get it behind him in better
style.
Mayor w 3 Strachan who
dOtes on the fact that he has
never talked; presided today
and did as good a job of introduc
ing as Salisbury ever heard.
Mayor Frank McNinch of
Charlotte, who had promised to
come, had to break the engage
ment over a desk telephone while
the Charlotte magistrate lay in
bed. Senator Ovormap, sui
rounded by peop.e who have
been voting for him since the
early sixties Was there dressed
as dapper as ever he caparison
ed himself in the senate. Every
body stood in the big fair build
ing and wondered how long the
Senator's clean collar would
stand up.

Jumping. In Rowan old Sol al
ways jumps on hot days. The
big building at the fair grounds
was flung opened and the air
welcomed, but Senator Over
man was up against tempera
ture of SO and 1000 people sur

Senator Overman decl tred
that the tires of patriotism burn
today on the natal day of the
republic as ever before Mayor
Strachan minute before had
given a reason. The boys of 81
fought for ideals which the sol
diers of the world had establish
ed over the world.
And Rowan men anticipated
the turn of things Revolutionary

declaration of independence,

as strong as he began.
Mayor Strachan introduced

Leazer boys both of whom died
in tho service at the front. One

Maj Max Barker said that the
one thing which won the war was
the spirit of the boys who went
over there. He ,old the best
war stories that Salisburians
had heard.
Private Roy Fisher, who lost
an arm in the Argonne forest,
