MAYNARD WINS
lair MARATHON
MAKES TRIP IN 24 HOURS. 45
MINUTES AND 8 SECONDS.
Flies Total 5,4OO Miles
Announces That He Will Attempt
One-stop Flight From Coast
to Coast.

Mineola, N. Y, Oct. 1S.-Steering
by compass and flying at an average
speed of nearly two miles a minute,
5,400 miles across the continent and
return through snow, fog, clouds and
rain, Lieut.. B. W. Maynard landed
on Roosevelt field at $50 o'clock
this afternoon, the first aviator to
finish in the army's great transconti-
mental air race and reliability test.
He carried as passengers Master
Electrician William E. Kline, of Har-
rlsburg, Penn, who, he described as
deserving the 'sgreatest credit" and
and "Trixie," German police dog.
Unofficial figures compiled here to-
night by the American Flying Club,
which has cooperated with the army
aid service officials in conducting the
race, show that Lieut.. Maynard's ac-
tual flying time on the return trip
was twenty-four hours, forty-five min
utes. and eight seconds, only a few
minutes less than the unofficial flying
time on his westbound trip.
Under the rules of the contest,
however, time spent between the con-
troll stations must be counted in the
actual flying time as computed by the
army in deciding the winner of the
race. This means that the eighteen
hours Lieut.. Maynard spent changing
motors in corn field in Wahoo,
Neb., where he was forced to land
because of a broken crankshaft, will
be added to his official flying time.
The unofficial total elapsed time on
the return trip was nintey-two hours,
thirty-two minutes and forty-eight
seconds. Including three days spent
in San Francisco, the round trip was
made in approximately ten days and
five hours.
Undaunted by the fact that ten
lives have been lost directly or in
directly as result of the race, Lieut..
Maynard announced within an hour
after he had landed that within a
few weeks he would attempt a one
stop flight from Mineola to San Die
go, CAL, with Dallas, Texas, the only
stopping point.
A modified type of De Haviland
plane, somewhat similar to that he
used in the cross country race, has
been fitted up fol. him here and the
start will be made as soon as be has
had an opportunity to make few
trial flights and become familiar with
the new machine. Lieut.. L. D. Brad
shaw, who has been flying since 1912
and entred the army as an enlisted
man, will be his companion on his at
tempted one-stop flight.

Sergt. Mccullough Writes
OF Some Of His Ex-
penences In France.

Sergt. Ira J. Mccullough, company
B. 21st engineers. who is expected 10
return home soon to visit his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. c. Mccullough. at the
Alberta hotel. has written some very
interesting letters since he went to
France nearly two years ago.
Under the date Of March. 1918. he
wrote: I feel quite differently about
our Arizona home now since I have
seen so many other places. One does
not realize what a wonderful country
1t is until he compares it with less
favored sections. The only trouble
we have here now is in getting a SUI
ficient quantity Of rations. 1t seems
that the army ration is hardly enough
for men who have such hard work as
we must do"
The French seem very glad to see
US, but apparently do not place much
confidence in our fighting ability
They soon grow very indifferent to-
wards US, however much enthusiasm
they had at first. They seem a very
thrifty. economical sort of people. but
few OF them show much ambition
The Severest Test.
Il am pleased to believe that the
American people are heartily support
ing this war and am afraid that be-
fore it ends it viii have proven the
severest test that they have ever un-
dersone.
1T may be difficult TO understand
just why We are here for those people
who have remained at home in the
states. but one soon realizes here the
necessity for our coming and the ire
mendous work that we must do
On June 5. 1918, he asks: What has
become Of the Liberty motor2 This
war VIII be won in the air and We
are looking eagerly for the coming Of
immense American air fleets. We see
air fights almost every day"
French Win Mt Athletics.
On July Il, 1918. he wrote: I'VE
have just met the French in field day
exercises and they beat US This is
their Independence day We did not
have such good men as we had on our
Independence day. July I, when We
won from them

to investigate that favored land. Il I
