PLANES END ROUND
 TRIP INTO ALASKA
FOUR ARMY FLYERS COMPLETE 5000 MILE FLIGHT IN
 31 Days.

Mineola, N. Y.-Escorted from New four American airplanes have complet ed 9,000-mile trip to Alaska, which they started July l5.
 So enthusiastic was Captain St. Clair Street, commander, over the sue cess of the aerial survey that he an nounced his intention of recommend ing to the War Department that the route blaZed from Mineola to Nome be made permanent.
 With his seven companions Captain Street will leave soon for Washington, where an official reception has been arranged. Later they will submit de tailed reports.
 Captain Street said if his recommen- dations are allowed, regular air ser vice to Alaska will be inaugurated in the near future He said Alaskan settlements desire such service and that movement is on foot to gain the cooperation of the Canadian gov. ernment The success of the expedi- tion, he said. proved regular service practicable.
 The aviators told many interesting stories of their trip. At some landing places game was plentiful. and fresh meat always was available. The fiiers sighted herds of reindeer and caribou. and often saw bear. mountain sheep and other game. A school of white whale and many seals were sighted in the Boring sea. From the air they also saw Indians flee on approach of the planes.
 The machines took Is days on the trip west and 15 for the return, al though the flying time was much less

BELIEVES SOVIET
 REGIME DOOMED
SECRETARY COLBY SAYS RUS-
 SIAN PEOPLE HAVE REPUD- LATED BOCShEviSM.

Washington. Bolshevism is done for, in the opinion of Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby, who declared that all the information obtained by this government from reliable author ities clearly indicates that the people of Russia have repudiated the Bolshe- vist form of government.
 The secretary of state in making important observations no this world agitating subject said that he hoped his statements would not be regarded in the light of propaganda and that he was actuated to speak by great preponderance of evidence which showed that there is forming in Rus sia the rudiments of self government which soon must develop into tangi- ble government of Russia as an en- tity.
 Just what will succeed Bolshevism, the secretary said, is the question giv- ing most concern now. The propensi- ties of the Russians for a local com munistic mode of self-government, in his opinion, will result in the assump- tion of authority for the maintenance of local law and order by the Zemsts- vo and other local bodies. From this qualified equilibrium. he thought, a scheme would be evolved out of which would come a national govering body.
 Asked if there was just compari- son between the soviet regime in Rus sia and the French revolution, MT. Colby replied that the French revolu- tion was directed by ana with reason. It searched out the intellectuals and placed them in power, while in Rus sia the Bosheviks aim at intelligence. seeking only to destroy the intellec- tuals
 He declared he took an optimistic view of the possibilities in Russia. which wasthat a democratic govern ment would rise from the local govern ing units that are expected to take over political authority upon the downfall of the soviets. At the pres ent time, he said, most rigorous con trol is exercised over the press In Rus sia. Only Bolshevik journals are pub lished, and they are limited to the cities and eXpressthe views only of the Bolshevik authorities and of some city workmen aligned with the Bolshe- viks.

Welty said Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve Board has en- dorsed the plan and there is no queS- ton that Germany and other countries of Central Europe can take several million bales of cotton at good prices, buying the low-grade staple held over from last year, which now is hurting the price of this years cotton, and provided the buyers security is good we can better afford to sell now through export than to hold the low grade cotton fora market which has not yet appeared A representative of Czecho- Slovakia has been in the United States conferring with Cover nor Harding and American Cotton As sociatio nofficials, and has made it evident that foreign buyers are ready to pay freight on the cotton and give paper backed by mills, banks in gen eral and the governments of the coun- tries concerned"

In two line plays Koehler put the ball seven yards from the Army's goal and gave the Navy first down there. On the next play, a smoke screen was thrown out Hamilton Navy fullback, started from a close formation as if to buck Army ys right guard Conroy, instead, passed the ball to Moves, then at right half back. and he in turn gave 1t to Koch Ter, who plunged through Armys left tackle for touchdown. King kicked goal.
 Receiving the ensuing kickoff on it's own IT yard line, Navy ran it back, IA yards and after IA line plunges had a first down fourteen yards from the goal. Conroy and Koehler again worked the same dou- ble pass play. It led to one 20 yard gain by Koehler in the course of this advance and Conroy himself made several smashes of five and six yards.

NEW YORK, Nov 27. Line plunges with superdreadnaugh backs, aided by smoke screen of delayed and double passes. enabled Navy to triumph over Army to in their annual gridiron clash at the Polo Grounds today.
 When, early in the fourth period, Ben G. Koehler of Geneva, Neb., for mer star at the University of Nebras- ka. crashed over the Army's last white line on double-pass play that started seven yards from the goal, Navy officials among the 45,0OO spec tators could draw an analogy be- tween the main reliance of football offense and that of actual battles at sea. Both >eleyens had found the for ward pass ineffective for great gains.
 Discarding aerial tactics, Navy re- lied on the battleship tackle, smash es from close square formation, so efficiently that after the touchdown was made, another was prevented only by a tumble 14 yards from the goal.
 Come eleven had been the navy slogan in preparation for the game and eleven came, meaning the elev- enth victory for Annapolis over West Point, which makes the series even. While future admirals gamboled in a snake dance over the gridiron, Jo' sephus Daniels saw his last Army Navy game as secretary of the navy end in victory for the seamen.

NEW YORK-"Within five or ten years we shall cross the ocean in less than day as safely in giant airplanes as we do now in liners, and more comfortably" is the prediction of Anthony H. G. Fokker, inventor and manufacturer of the plane by that name which gave Germany the air supremacy during the early part of the war.

T never lost my Dutch citizenship" says Folk ker. q had to do business some where and I found a customer in Germany. I never was in the Ger man army CT in the service of the Herman government"
 Fol1ker says he offered his planes to England and America in 1912, but both countries turned them down.
 He believes two things are neces saly to maJs airplanes as common as autos-first, sufficient flying fields and stcond, machines which will ascend from a very small space such as a roof Fokker adds that planes must be made simpler, strong CT and cheaper to beconie conner cially profitable.

first half. resulting in the ball stay ing in the Navy's territory. But the Army was not strong enough to take advantage of scoring opportunities. In the first period, it had the ball on the Navy's 30 yard line by gain ing in an exchange of kicks. The failure of forward passes compelled an effort to score by place kicks, but French's effort from the forty yaro line was short.
 Poor Kicks Neutralized
 In the second period, Navy fum- ble on it's own 25 yard line causing it to lose the ball, put the Army in scoring position again. Then the smearing of plays from the kick for nation which was the Army's favor ite method of offense and the failure of forward passes to work, compell- ed another attempt to make field goal. and French's effort from the 30 yard line was wide. Later a Navy punt for only 15 yards gave the Ar my the ball in midfield. Two rushes and a forward pass made 1t tirst down on the 37 yard line where French tried his third place KICK standing in midfield It also failed and the cadets never seriously threat ened the Navy's goal again.
 In fact the last two periods the Army had the ball in Navy territory only once and that was on the 4O yard line in the third period.
 Poor punts by both teams usually neutralized one another, except for the short kick that contributed to the Navy's touchdown.
 The Navy suffered 45 yards less in penalties, and the Army 15 yards So fierce was the defense in the first half that both teams threw opponents behind the line of scrimmage man! times for losses and the intensity oi play on the Navy's part contributed largely to the penalties.
