Yesterday morning the pro-
tracted drouth was broken in this
section and the heavy precipita-
ton will be of incalculable ben
eft to the farmers in general.
From reports all over the Parish,
the agriculturists, and especially
the cane farmers were badly in
need of rain. Now that the
drouth is broken the rains will
likely be general and a bumper
cane crop will be the result.

Dayton, Ohio, Feb 2S.-An airplane
carrying Maj. r. w. Schroeder, chief
test pilot at McCook field, fell over
five miles after reaching an altitude
of 36,020 feet, said to be 1920 feet
higher than the worlds record.
The major is suffering from shock
and temporary partial blindness. In
struments on the machine indicate
that 1t fell more than five miles In
two minutes. While still 1000 feet
above the ground the airplane right
ed itself and gIided to graceful
landing When the plane settled at
tendants who rushed toward it found
Major Schroeder sitting erect in the
machine apparently lifeless. For II
brief time residents of Dayton We're
sure meteor had appeared In the
sky They had mistaken the trail Of
vapor escaping from the machine as
it sped downward for stranger in
the heavens"
Major Schroeder lost consciousness
when his machine had reached Il
height recorded by instruments as
36,O2O, or 5,020 feet higher than the
worlds record established by Roland
Rolphe last summer.
His senses numbed and his eyes
frozen shut in temperature said to
have been 81 degrees below zero,
Schroeder regained partial conscious
ness when 1000 feet above the earth
in time to right his machine and pre-
vent 1t from crashing to the ground
out of control.
Major Schroeder was temporarily
spite the electrically heated suit in
which he was encased. He was suf-
fering from the effects of a lack of
oxygen. When nearly seven miles
above the earth his oxygen tanks be-
came exhausted, and 1t was this
which robbed him of consciousness,
causing the fall.
The instruments on his machine re-
corded the best story of the expert
ence of the aviator in his flight to
beat the record of Roland Rohlfs and
bring first honors to the air forces of
the United States army. The ther-
mometer registered temperature of
So degrees below xero centigrade, or
81 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
Altitude figures from the barograph
reading Indicated height of $1,000
feet and when calibrated by Capt.
Harrison w. Flickinger showed an Of
ficial altitude of 5000 feet, a new
worlds record and variation of less
than 1000 feet.

Washington, March 1-Coincident
with the signing of the railroad bill,
President Wilson issued executive or
ders providing for continuation of the
powers OF the Fuel Administration,
but dividing them between the direc-
tor general of railroads and a com
mission of four. Director General
Hines will retain jurisdiction over do
nestle distribution while the commis-l
sion will handle bunker and export
coal matters.
The commission will be composed of
A. w Howe, Rembrandt Peale, f. NJ.
Whitaker and J. +. Fisher. 1t Will
function through the Tidewater Coal
Exchange, which is restored for that
purpose, having been suspended be-
fore the resignation of DR.. Garfield as
fuel administrator.
The order creating the commission
is effective until April 80. next.
The order said the action was taken
"because of the present emergency
and in order to insure an adequate
to facilitate the movement, and to pre-
vent locally or generally, scarcity of
coal" 1t directs specifically that the
order issued by the United States Fuel
Administration, Nov. 6, 1917, relative
to tidewater transshipment of coal at
Hampton Roads, Baltimore, Philadel-
phIa and New York, and for the en-
ployment of and cooperation with the
tidewater coal exchange, as common
agency, to facilitate transshipment
and to reduce delays in the use of
coal cars and coal-carrying vessels"
suspended by DR.. Garfield Feb. 20,
1919 be reinstated.
The commissioners named are au-
thorized 10 exercise the powers re-
served by the United States fuel ad-
ministrator, by said order of Nov. 6,
1917, and they are further, from and
after II 01 o'clock a. m. on March 1,
1920 vested with the authority now
vest I'd i'll the director general Of rail-
roads relative to the export Of coal
from the United States"
The second order, investing Mr..
Hines with the powers of fuel admin
istrator, so far as domestic distribu-
tiOn is concerned, said doubt had
arisen as to whether he could con-
tinue to exercise those powers after
the return of the railroads to private
control. A new order was therefore
executed, extending Mr.. Hines au-
thority beyond the date of the return.

Washington, Feb. 27.-In a new
peace proposal TO the great powers
reported in official dispatches re
ceived, soviet Russia pledges estab
lishment OF democratic principles In
Russia and the calling of a constitu
ent assembly. 1t promises further to
withdraw the decree annulliDg Rus
sia's foreign debt, restoring go pei
cent of the liability, and also to pay
arrears of interest, giving as guar
nntee for the fulfillment of It's obliga-
tons considerable mining concessions
of platinum and silver to an Anglo
American syndicate
In return and iii addition to the
formal peace treaties, the soviet gov
ernment would require Great Britain
and other countries to abandon all In.
teryenfIon In Russian affairs.
1t also proposes that the United
States allow credit to Russia, con
dltional upon considerable CONCESSIONS
In that country
A dispatch from London quoting a
Moscow wireless message, said the
soviet government had made new peace
oyertures TO the United States, japan
and Rumania. No such proposal has
reached the State Department and
officials were unable to say whether

other official advices as outlined
above were those referred to In the

The suggestion that the United

1t was assumed, however. that the
new offer was In line with the con-

ment TO attempt separate negotiations
with the allied and associate powers
The Supreme Council at London has
announced that IL would not negotiate
with the soviet, for the present at
least. This action does not bind the
United States, however, as the Amerl-
can government is not represented in
the council.
In the absence of any official In
tlmation as to the probable course of
the United States should peace of
fer come officially from the soviet
government. it was recalled that the
American government was the first
to proclaim the Bolshevikl as interna-
tional outlaws. In some quarters 1t
was said that in view Of this it APP
peared probable that the United States
government would not consider peace
proffers unless democratic principles
actually had been applied to the Rus

Washington, Feb. 26.-Bainbridge
Colby, who is an Independent in pol
tiles, with Democratic leanings, has
been appointed secretary of state by
President Wilson to succeed Robert
great surprise TO Washington officials
and politicians who had expected the
President to name strong Democrat
to the post of ranking cabinet officer.
Colby was one of group of nine
Progressives who in 1916 insisted on
the nomination of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt by the Progressives. After
the nomination of Hughes by the Re
publicans, Roosevelt wired the Pro-
gressive convention urging that the
former Supreme Court justice be in
dorsed A resolution to this effect
was introduced in the convention.
Colby fought 1t vigorously, still de-
mandlng the nomination of Roosevelt.
When the convention voted against
him he refused to accept Hughes and
Joined the Democrats in support of
Wilson
The first hint OF Colby's appoint
Inent came a few minutes before the
formal announcement by Secretary
Tumulty. The early reports that he
would get the place were not gener-
ally credited. Following the announce
ment Of the appointment Colby ap-
peared at the White House and was
taken to see President Wilson.
Colby is lawyer His home is in
New York. He was born in ST. Louis
in 1863
Colby's appointment is believed to
have been decided upon very recently.
Friends who talked with him in New
York recently declared he had no in
timation of his appointment at that
time.
Since Lansing's resignation, which
was announced the night of Feb. 13,
Undersecretary Frank L. Polk has
been acting as secretary He handled
the Supreme Council in connection
with the Adriatic dispute. 1t was
known that Polk was being consid-
cred for the appointment as secretary.
The circumstances of Lansing's
resignation are believed to have been
discussed by Colby and the President
at n long conference, at which time
Wilson went over with the new sec
retary the policy he expects him to
pursue, it was learned. 1t was sug-
gested that ''housecleaning" may be
in prospect IN the state department,
which will put the handling of Amer
ica's foreign affairs in the hands of
an entirely new group of men. as re-
suit of the clash with Lansing. The
present State Department staff CO.
operated with Lansing in the interna-
tional dealings to which the President
is believed to have objected.
