Reports state that the AlnSkans are

the new project.
AS the result of the flight, II is said,
an aerial route has been photographed
and charted diagonaIly across the
United States. Canada and Alaska,
with tentative supply and air service
sites.
The air board states that the fol-
lowing was accomplished by the flight:
An effective aerial route to the north
west corner of the American continent
and Asia has been established. Inac-
cessible areas In Alaska, which had
never been mapped, have been charted
anu photographed.
Usefulness of the airplane as
means Of transport both for mail. pas

Onstrnted, Necessity of landing fields
and service supply stations throughout
the United States and Its territories
has been shown.
Durability Of modern airplanes and
motors has been proved, and II has
been learned that flying is safe. even
over territory where transport by rail
road, automobile and wagon Is consid-
cred extremely dangerous.
The report Of Capt. st. Clair Street,
who was In command of the expedi-
ton, states that the flyers considered
the route across the eastern states
as having few landing fields. and not
ideal In any instance. The middle
West and Canada, he said. as far as
Edmonton, was ideal.

GEN. WEYCAND OF
ROYAL LINEAGE
Military Genius Directing line
Poles Said to Be Son of King
Leopold Of Belgium. >
CHIEF AID TO MARHSAL FOCH
Influence Of Former Belgian King
Raised Weygand From an Obscure
Boy to High Position In
French Military Circles.

Brussels.-Gen. Maxine Weygand
the military genius who directed the
Poles in their spectacular victory over
the Russians, and who is now general
ly credited with large share of Mar
Shall FOch's achievements in the
World war, is a son of the late King
Leopold, of Belgium, according to per-
sons who are intimately acquainted
with Belgian court circles and the Sc
crets thereof.
RumOrs In Paris and Brussels re-
garding the paternity of the famous
soldier were run down today with
the following result:
1t was former King Leopolds In
fuence that raised Weygand from an
obscure boy of unknown parentage to
such high position In French mill
tary circles that he was chosen chief
Of staff to Marshal Foch, commander
in chief of the greatest army the world
has ever seen.
General Weygand was born In Brus.
sells in 1866. The names of his father
and mother are not contained in the
birth records, nor is the place Of his
birth given. He was first heard Of
under the care of rich Brussels man
ufacturer who was close friend of
the former Belgian king.
Regarded as Orphan.
Young Weygand was then said to be
an orphan. When he was eight years
old he was adopted by French fam.
lily of the name OF Weygand. The
head Of the fa,nily was employed by
the Belgian manufacturer The fam
lily was poor. but money was supplied
to give the boy an excellent education.
This aroused comment among the
neighbors and gave rise to .the query:
"WhO Is furnishing the large sums to
send the orphan to high-priced
school?"
The adopted boy received the name
of his foster parents. Young Wey-
gand. who was brilliant In his studies.
showed preference for military af
fairs. The friends and neighbors of
the Weygand family were astOnished
when the youth entered the famous
French military academy at st. Cyr.
He was admitted as q foreigner. al
though he had been adopted by
French family.
Lieutenant Colonel at Twenty.Six.
Weygand displayed the same bril-
lance at st. Cyr that marked his
earlier educational course. He passed
into the French army after his grad
uation. He rose to lieutenant col.
onelcy. receiving his post In 1912. ;
when he was only twenty-six years
old.
At the outbreak of the World war
Lieutenant Colonel Weygand was
made clfief Of staff to Foch. He
planned Foch's brilliant stroke when
that general was commanding an army
corps at the first battle of the Marine.
Lieutenant Colonel Weygand was
promoted to major general in An.
gust. 1916. and became Frances rep.
resentative on the supreme war coun-
Gil. Later he was president of the
inter-ailied military committee at YER
sailles.
General Weygand was the constant
companion of Marshal Foch, who de.
scribed him as ga man with head
an& soul-the kind you can rely on"
All biographies OF General Weygand
and also his most intimate friends are
extremely reticent on the subject of
MS origin. n
