of the difficulties experienced
are shown by an incident that
occurred March 16 at Leesburg.
Ga. In order to attain the
height desired, number of kites
had been sent up tandem. They
consisted of strong wooden
frames about z by BY 3 feet.
Each kite was covered with
abRlt u yards of fine cambric
and was attacked to fine piano
wire. They were let out and
nauled in by a reel operated by
electric motor. Due to a defect
i've splice, four of the kites with
about 3 miles of wire broke
away and flew about IS miles

party sent out TO recover the
kites could reach them some
negroes had wrecked the first
one and stolen the cloth, which
was later found in nine pieces
in various cabins. The other
three kites, when the first one
was separated from them, es-
capped and flew about three miles
farther. During the flight, how
ever. the wire became entangled
with boy and mule blowing
in field. The boy grasped the
wire and cut and burned his
hands. The mule became so
entaagled in the wire that the
help of three men was required
to release him. The three kites
were finally caught in another
tree which was cut down by
another party of negroes, and,
in falling, wrecked the second
kite, which was dismantled by
the negroes. The two remaining
kites again escaped, flew about
3 miles farther and landed in
one of the tallest pine trees in
the region. The third kite had
meteorograph attached which
was recovered unchanged. A
heavy rain came on, however,
and the two remaining kites
were broken up and finally aban-
doned.

end Of the line was sometimes as great
as eight miles. and frequently mount
cd reconnaissance patrols were neces-
sary- the more so at this particular
1uncture in that Allenby's push for
Jerusalem was due to start from day
TO day.
Followed by an orderly, the staff
officer rode about for some little time,
now consulting his leather-encased
map, now scanning with fleld-glasses
the intending camel scrub and sand.
Suddenly-zip, zip, zip l--several rifle
shots rang out, and the officer half fell
from his horse, then recovering him
self, headed about. The couple had
apparently ridden right on to a Turk
ish post and the orderly needed no
second word of command as TO the
direction In which he was now to pro-
coed.
Before following him, however. the
staff officer swung round two or three
times in an effort to recover his haver-
sack which had dropped to the ground
as he had tilted over when hit. But
the Turkish fire was becoming more
rapid, and he apparently was getting
weaker. Finally. the aaversack had
TO be left there on the sand under
the noses of the Turks.

Very Eloquent Dedica-
tory Address

Mortified. Oct 20.-Ihe TAYLOR rid
ing hall, the latest acquisition to the
buildings of Norwich university, was
formally dedicated yesterday after
noon with appropriate exercises par.
ticipated in by the cadet corps, towns
people, several from New York City
and many from Fort Ethan Allen. The
dedicatory address was by John W.
Gordon of Barre.
The hall. which is probably the best
of its kind in this section of the coun-
try, was the gift of Moses TAYLOR of
New York City, member of the firm
of Keen, Taylor & Co.. in honor of his
son, Moses Taylor, jr., Norwich 20,
who was killed in action in the ST.
Mihiel engagement in the World war,
having served with the United States
army as first lieutenant.
At LAS the Norwich cavalry went
down town and met Mr.. Taylor, the
donor, and Gov. Clement, escorting
them to the university, where they
were met by President Charles A.
Plumlev and Others of the university.
The party then proceeded to the riding
hail. where the exercises were held.
Mr. Gordon delivered very fine and
eloquent address in defeating the hall,
after which President Plunley extend
ed the thanks of the university to Mr.
Taylor. The cadets then gave mount
ed drill and dress parade, which, in the
opinion of army men present, indi-
rated that Norwich was living up to-
It's reputation as a military institu-
ton.
The hall was inspected by the peo
pie and favorablv commented upon.
