u S. Air Service Plans an
Ambitious Flight.

Washington Tentative plans
for an attempted fight of army
airplanes around the world have been
under consideration for some months
by air service officials, it was learned,
but the project has not as yet passed
the preliminary survey stage.
Valuable data on available routes in
both directions has been obtained,
however, and ultimately it is hoped
to send considerable aerial squadron
on the voyage. The project will not
be laid before Secretary Weeks for
approval, it was said, until it takes
much more definite FORM
Two of the routes considered are
that from the Atlantic coast, via Ice
land and Ireland, and that from the
Pacific, via Alaska, the Aleutian Is
lands, Siberia, and home, via Ireland
and Iceland. Air service officials said
the route offering the most favorable
conditions as to prevailing winds
would be selected, should the flight be
ordered, and it would then become
necessary to obtain permission of each
of the countries to be traversed be-
fore the squadron would start

sons which prompted President
Roosevelt to send the feet around the

in giving the world a better under
standing of American postwar devel-
Opments.
Filters of other nations have under
taken up to this time without success,
world girdling flights, but only with
a single plane, while the American air
service project would call for a fleet
of aircraft and careful preparations
involving considerable expenditures.

The Klu Klux Khan shot their wad

for the burning of the cross, then
later band of graveyard ghosts"
came marching over the principal
streets of the town and disappeared
in the haziness of the night. There
were 60 forms marching, and Judging
from the sizes of some of their feet,
the manner of walking great ma
jority were from right around this
vicinity. This organization is anti
Catholic, anti-Negro, and anti-Jew.
They get the approval of the churches
by their generous donations of money
but the U. S. Government looks upon
it as on enemy to society and civil
government and attempts to break up
the organization. Like the Red Man
of old, they may have good intentions
but the danger is in getting more
rascals into it than are outside of it.
Many looked upon it tonight as a
huge joke, some of the young girls
kept close together for fear of being
kidnapped and wheeled away in auto
mobiles. Others thought it good
thing in putting stop to certain
practices by men and women, and
even boys and girls in the under
world, where the law is lax, and mod
esty prevents the civil authorities
from taking hand in living up to
their oaths of Office
