Atlanta. April % Railroads of
the United States lost 100000. 900
in 1920 from robbery of freight and
damage caused to freight, the latter

ployees and defective equipment. ac-

No Aerial Mall 10. Chinese.

While Chang TsO Lin, who today
dominates the north of China. was
wondering just what he would do with
six airplanes which he ordered from
England the question Of the disposal
Of three Of them was settled for him.
He was undecided whether to use
them for military purposes or for the
establishment Of mail service, In ac-
cordance with the terms of the con.
trnct. While debating the question he
ordered three to be sent to Mukden.
for possible postal use, and the re.
maindcr to Paotlngfu for military pur-
poses. Those shipped to Mukden we're
loaded on fiat cars and started on
their way. Some distance from Tient-
sin they bumped a railroad bridge and
were not only smashed but also put
the bridge out Of commission. So It
looks rs though those who expected
to get their mail via the air route are
doomed to disappointment.

DAYTON, Wash.-Of the five CONT
panies of soldiers who fought with
General George A. Custer at the ia
nous massacre on the Little Big
Horn, on June %, 1876, not one man
survived.
That is what history says.
But Frank Finkle, of this town,
declares he was there and his story
is borne out by the name "Finkle"
on the regiments roster, and by vari-
Gus residents of Dayton, who say
they have seen papers, lost since
in fire, which proved the fact.
All this is why Finkle. is being
urged to attend ceremonies to be
held at Hardin, Mont, on June %,
the forty-fifth anniversary of the
massacre.
Finkle, a member of the troops
commanded by Captain Tom Custer,
brother of the famous general, re-
lates how the regiment took UP the
trail of Sitting Bull and his war
riors.
"The battle opened with an attack
on an Indian village" he says. Gen
eral Custer led one set of troops
while Major Reno headed another.
Clusters forces rode on to the at
tack until suddenly there was a
thunder of yells as the Sioux In
dams sprang from behind every bush
and poured over the hilltops.
Men and horses fell all around
me. A bullet hit my rifle stock and
a splinter of steel started blood
flowing between my eyes. My horse
bolted and carried me, half blinded,
through the Indian lines.
"Then came a singing sensation
in my shoulder, and lost conscious
ness, falling forward on my horse.
When I came to, it was dark. Early
tains.
For five days I rode. eating raw
rabbits in fear of attracting the In
dams if I built fire.
"On the sixth day I met some
trappers and stayed with them until
September. Then I rode back to
Fort Benson and was discharged.
Custer Massacre, of 1876, was an
extra issued by the Bismarck Trib-
une. 1t was one-sheet affair and
sold for twenty-five cents. 1t didn't
apepar until July 6, eleven days aft
err the battle.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bacon Custer, wild
ow of General Custer. has been urged
observance of the Custer massacre,
at Hardin, Mont, June %. But she
will not go.
IT have never been back to Mon
tana since that day" she says. II
just couldn't go: But I am with
development were the things for
which General Custer gave his life.
And that is the spirit of the west
today"
Mrs. Custer has written three
books dealing with her western days.

Harding Has Lunch

The president left the White House
without announcing his destination
and dropped IN unexpectedly on the

of "the avenue" was purely social
in character, although it was taken

of legislation undoubtedly would
come up for discussion during the
visit.

tween Great Britain and the domin-

sion of the imperial conference, at
which decision was reached to ap-
point a committee to consider the
development of communications
throughout the empire. The official
text of the speeches delivered at the
meeting was issued today, and in it
were expressions OF disapproVal of
Americas world distribution of
news.
Premier Hughes, of Australia,
made an unfaborable comparison be-
tween the British wireless service
and with the German installations
that were in operation before the
war, as well as those at present ex-
listing in the United States. He said
the United States was conducting
wireless services to England, France,
Norway, Japan and Germany and
was arranging to cover other fields.
He declared America was daily radi-
ating in every direction not only
American news but American con-
cepts of world events, and instanced
the transmission of such news to
China, which, he said formed its
opinion of the British empire there
on while Great Britain did nothing.

Premier Meighen, of Canada, said
that while Canada had less cause to
complain than Australia and New

the motherland was unsatisfactory.

asserted, filters through New York
and is censored there, not by gov
