BIC RECEPTION
FOR u. S. FL ERS
Army Aviators Who Flew to
Alaska Are Welcomed
Home.
REMARKABLE AIR SPECTACLE
Escorted by Americas Biggest Dirigi-
bile and IS AirpIanes, They Arrive
at Washington and Fly
Over the Capitol.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Escorted by
the I'D l, four squadrons aggregating
90 airplanes and Americas biggest
dirigible, the eight army aviators who
in four planes flew to Alaska and
back, were welcomed home with the
most remarkable air spectacle ever
witnessed at the capital. Their re-
markable accomplishment is the out
standing air event of the year.
One squadron Of Is planes accom-
panied the flyers from Mineola. Two
other squadrons from Langley field
met the returning heroes a short dis
lance from Washington. In squadron
formation with the returned aviators
in the center all flew over the CAPT
tol.
Thousands of spectators saw the pi-
oneers of the air land at Boiling field,
where they were greeted by Secretary
Baker, Secretary Daniels, General Per-
shing, Maj. Gen. Charles 7. Menoher
director of air service; Brig. Gen. Will
liam Mitchell, director of military aer-
onautics, and other high War depart
ment officials. And standing beside
them was silver-haired, bright-eyed
little lady, who made no effort to con-
ceal her citation. She was the mother
of Capt ST. Clair Street, commanding
officer of the expedition.
Mrs. Street pushed through the
crowd that surrounded her, and threw
her arms about his neck and gave vent
to her enthusiasm with kiss.
Secretary Baker then presented GER
tifcates to the men, whom he lauded
for having accomplished what not
long ago would have been held impos-
sible. In addition to Captain Street,
those who received certificates were
Capt Howard Douglas, advance Off
Ger: First Lieuts Clifford G. Mutt,
Eric H. Nelson, G. FL. Crunine and
Ross Fitzpatrick, and Sergts. James
Long and Joseph E. English.
A dinner, given by General Menoher
and General Mitchell in honor of the
Alaska air expedition was attended by
many notable officials.
Altogether the expedition covered
1900 miles. The flight to Alaska re-
Quired 16 days, although the actual
flying time was 1876 hours. The re-
turn occupied ID days. The route the
daring aviators took was over 300
miles of glaciers, where forced land
ing meant death, and over 1000 miles
of territory so sparsely settled that
no human habitation was seen for
hours at stretch. The average flying
height was 5000 feet, although at
times the planes few as low as 200
feet and at others were compelled to
ascend 1900 feet.
The flyers brought home data OF
great value to the government geodet.
ic survey. The maps by which they
flew proved inaccurate In designat-
ing the height of certain mountain
peaks. In one instance the planes
were compelled to ascend $4,000 feet
to get over a mountain listed as being
only 800 feet high.

New York, Oct. 25.-Business pros
poets are unusually bright both in the

corporation, declared in an address be-

said. "the business skies are practical

Guides employees in certain trades;
but it does not pertain under present
conditions to the masses of work
men.
'"The present tendency is toward a
lower, more reasonable and fairer rela-
tive basis. The difficulty is found in
the fact that every individual is per-
fectly willing that all others shall
make reductions, the larger the bet
ter. Now a general public, including
particularly those who are neither
buyers nor sellers to any large extent,
will in one way or another bring about
a fair and reasonable adjustment of
prices. The law of supply and de-
mand will be the principal factor.
1.-The people of the United States
have reason for confidence in the bust
ness future. They need not be dis
couraged nor impatient"
Speedy recovery of industry in
France and Belgium from the ravages
of war was predicted by Mr.. Gary. He
described in some detail his recent trip
over the battlefields of the two coun-
tries, where ''the surface of the ground
was churned into great masses Of
rough and irregular shapes" express
ing surprise that any appreciable prog
ress toward rehabilitation had been
made.
Rehabilitation was made possible,
Mr.. Gary said, by the spirit of the
French and Belgian people-"the good
natured, grim, persistent and splendid
effort to succeed, to restore and to re-
cover
II think France has one of the best
administrations she has ever had," Mr..
Gary continued. 1.-THE president is
strong, resOurceful, honest and has the
confidence of everyone. The cabinet
is made up of good men. We shall
see great progress economically, fnan-
cially and commercially during the
next few years."

Washington, Oct. 21.-Shrinkage in
the value of farm products so far this

Of all the people of the country
Mr.. Meredith estimated that the fall
in corn prices had involved a billion
dollar loss to producers, while the de-
crease in cotton prices amounted to
third Of billion dollars. The sit
uation was further much harder for
farmers, he said, because the labor and
materials necessary to crop production
had been supplied during the high
price period.
1.-THE American people must see to it
that farmers secure credit sufficient
for their needs" Mr.. Meredith contin-
ued, only thus can they continue to

if the farmer is to continue to pro-

'sThe farmer is not the only one
who would be adversely affected if he
fails to secure a reasonable return for
his efforts I do not think you can
fail to see that the farmers problems
are your problems, and that your util-
mate prosperity depends upon right
solution of the difficulties confronting
the farmers !"
