AMERICA ATTACKED
BY ANOTHER ENEMY
{ A ssociated Pressl

Washington, March 16.-The enor-
NOUS value of corn, the premier crop
of the nation, has made it necessary
for the government to take all posi-
hle precaution to prevent further in
festation from the European "corn
borer" which is supposed to have en-
tered the country in shipments of
broom corn and has obtained limited
foothold in the eastern part of the
country.
Large sums are being spent in an
effort to control it and ruling soon
is expected from the federal horticul-
tural board as to whether a quaran-
tine shall be imposed against all Tor
eign countries to prevent further en-
trance of stalks and ears of Indian
corn, broom corn or other plants that
may bring the borers. tt would not
apply to shelled corn or to the thrash
ed seeds of the other plants.

MEMORIAL TO AMERICAN
FIGHTING AIRMEN
(Associated Press)

New York, March 12.-The first
memorial here to American fighting
airmen killed in France is a room in
the club house of the American Fly
ing Club set aside in honor of ten
aviators of the 22nd pursuit squadron
Of the American Expeditionary Force.
A tablet in the room bears the names
of the following airmen who were
killed in action: First Lieutenants
Philip E. Hassinger. Arthur c. Kim
Der, Henry B. Hudson, John G. Agar
Jr., James B. Biggs, James d. Deane,
Remington Deb. Vernam and Howard
R. Clapp and Second Lieutenants
Vaughn r. Mccormick and Edward
B. Gibson Jr. Members of other
squadrons are planning to dedicate
similar rooms at the club building in
honor of comrades killed in action.

to alter his method of looking at
things.
The rapidity with which the air
plane moved was astonishing. One
minute we were looking down on the
union station, the next on the hospi-
tai, and they were over a mile apart.
Yet the airplane didn't seem to be
moving. The ground, the houses and
trees slid back under it.
"Come Up, the Airs Fine"
Flying over the ball park, we saw
bunch of boys playing practice
game. They looked up at the plane
and we decided to send them a mes
sage. Writing. "Come on up, the air
is fine," we tossed it overheard. From
the way the wind grabbed and jerked
it, we thought it wouldn't hit the
ground for two miles. But an hour
Or so later a couple of the members
of the high school team handed us
the leaf torn from the book. Little
Harold Knight saw the book fall on
the far side of the ball park and came
down on it like a duck on a junebug.
Even an airplane can't lose "Speck."
Soaring from the Site of Marti City
Not only the aviators but many of
our own people will be surprised to
know that the landing field just west

years ago was part of one of the most
prosperous and busy towns in Flor

makers, and doing at that time more

(Associated Press)

Washington, March 16.-Admiral
Sims told the Senate investigating
committee today that little bluff by
the Germans in 1918 would have par
alyzed the transportation of soldiers
and war materials from the United
States to Europe. He said information
that Germany was building two heav-
lily armored battle cruisers to raid
troop ships caused the navy depart

until there is now no trace of what
was once live town of two or three
thousand people. Many of the young
men died fighting the Spanish, but
most of them won thru, and probably
a good many now live either in Cuba,
Key West or Tampa. The ground is
first class for a landing field and

purpose.
May Organize Flying School
The flying team consists of Pilot
Geo. M. Keightley, formerly major
in the United States flying service
Mechanician Paul Keen, also an ex-
service man, and Mr.. Ralph j. Lutes
the business manager. They impress
all who meet them as reliable and
skillful men. They will be here all
week, and if they can obtain enough
scholars to organize a flying school
they will remain another month.
They are giving flights for ten dol
lars, the lowest sum yet paid for the
recreation, and we can guarantee any
man who goes up with them that he
would not take hundred dollars foI
the experience. There is a thrill in
flying that no one should miss if il
comes their way, and our people are
not likely to have as good an oppor.

CUT OUT THE KICK

Washington, March 16.-Reafirm-
ing its disagreement with President
Wilson on the dominating issue of the
peace treaty controversy, the Senate
adopted late yesterday by vote of
rnore than two to one, the new Article
K reservation. framed by republican
leaders.
It's action brought to an end, at
least for the present, the protracted
effort for a compromise that would
insure ratification and the Senate's s
decision was accepted generally as
Fastening the treaty tows rd another
deadlock, from which it could be re-
leased only by a verdict at the polls
next November.
Fourteen democrats voted with the
united republican members nip for the
reservation, but this detection from
the administration ranks fell far short
of the number that would be required
to ratify. 1t was conceded that others
probably would swing over on the
ratification roll, but administration
leaders, backed by definite assurance
that the ne preservation was unac-
ceptable to the president, evinced no
apprehension that their forces would
dwindle beyond the danger point.
The vote for adoption, Sc to 26,
showed on it's fact two-thirds ma
jority for the reservation. but it by
no means indicated that two-thirds
would vote for ratification on that
basis. Included in the majority were
the irreconcilables, holding about a
score or votes. which on the ratifica-
ton roll call will be cast against the
treaty
