PLANE
TAKES To AIR
At DAYTON
Inventor Of Footpower Machine
Proves It Success in Nc
Cook Field Test.

DAYTON, Ohio, July 21.-The
first flight by man in an air pro-
PEELED vehicle. operated by foot
power OF the pilot only, is an &C
cofnplished fact. This is ANNOUNCED
at McCook Field here.
w. r. Gerhardt, aeronautical en-
gineeer at McCcok Field, is the in
ventor Of the continuance. which he
calls a scientific curiosity and in
which contrivance he made the
first successful flights in the pres
etlce Of witnesses.
In the longest flight made with
the machine, operated by and sup
piled with the pilots own power,
1t rose about three inches from the
ground and flew approximately
twenty feet, which the inventor
said was long enough to insure
steady flight.
This machine was not intended
to fly around the sky, but merely
to make the kind Of flight 1t did,
to prove scientifically the possibility
of human flight" the inventor said.
The "cyc1eplane'' has seven lift
Ing wings, one mounted above the
other by means of a connecting
strut three feet high; each wing
Is approximately two feet in width
and three inches thick.
"A propeller made of light wood
is operated by the pilot by means
OF a chain and pedal arrangement,
much after the manner of a bicycle.
In recent tests the "cycleplane'1
received its initial start forward
by means of a tow line. After the
machine gets under way, the pilot
starts pedaling and when the pro-
peller revolves at sufficient speed
the machine lifts gradually from
the ground and moves forward.
The regular stabilizer. rudder and
landing gears are used on the cycle
plane"

LONDON, July 21.-The next
step in the reparations muddle
was again Frances today.
England's draft Of the note to
Germany, dispatched yesterday to
the allied governments, France,
Belgium, Italy, Japan, and to the
United States, awaits their reply,
but only the reply of France is
causing any apprehension.
Contents Secret.
The contents of the note and it's
accompanying memorandum have
been guarded with official silence,
and the nations receiving it also
have been requested to reveal moth
ing of its contents.
1t is semi officially stated that the
draft follows the plan outlined in
Premier Stanley Baldwin's recent
speech in the House of Commons.
There have been no other official or
semi official disclosures.
The Daily Express this morning
says it understands, however, that
the memorandum points out that
England cannot demand that Ger
many end passive resistance, be-
cause the government believes the
2uhr occupation is illegal. The sug-
gestion IL made, the Express says,
that the question OF the legality of
The occupation be submitted to The
