Lone French Aviator
Nearing British Filler
In Journey to Japan

In Journey to Japan
PARIS, April 29.-F'rance is iubi-
liant over the brilliant flying stunt
of Lieutenant Pelletier D'Oisy, who
already has outflown both the Brit
ish and American round the world
flyers, having left Paris but last
Thursday.
After fighting terrible storms in
the Persian gulf and experiencing
untold difficulties in plotting his big
Breguet plane over the Mesopo-
tamian deserts, the gallant French
airman has arrived at Bendar Abbas,
on the Persian gulf. He ts only a
few hundred miles from Major Mac
Laren, British 'round-theWorldflyer,
whose plane is damaged and down
in the Sind desert.
LIE Journal computes that DOisy
has flown 4,333 miles in 81 hours
flying time.
A movement has been started to
finance continuation of his flight
around the world if he reaches Toxic
successfully.
French air experts are hailing
D'Oisys flight as in many respects
the greatest feat in the history of
aviation. He acts as his own navi-
gator, flying uncharted territories,
while his mechanic, Besin, sleeps in
the fuselage. When D'Oisy nalts
in the night, he sleeps while the
mechanic overhauls the motor and
inspects the plane.
Lieutenant D'Oisy has had a re-
markable career. He started flying
at the age of fourteen. He was
one of the few "aces'' who flew
from 1914 throughout the war.
Paris newspapers print compare
tive time tables showing the Ameri-
cans have averaged 1877 kilometers a
day since they started, the British
22S. and D'Oisy 1865.

biles; the H. M. Patterson & Son
ambulance; and, last, the court
room float bearing the twelve mock
jurors and Judge Tindall
All the floats carried the slogan
"Obey the Law"
Roy LeCraw, president of the
junior chamber, and Frank Har-
rison, marshal of the day, expressed
qualification at the success of the
parade.
Hope for Good Results
'T think we showed Atlantians eff
fectively the results of laWlessness,"
Mr.. LeCraw said. 81 trust that the
message will not be lost and that
our week of observance will give
citizens of Atlanta deeper con-
seriousness of the necessity of obey
ing their approval of the junior
chambers efforts to instill into
Atlantians a higher regard for and
observance of law and order.
J. r. Gordy, director of the drive,
issued a statement telling OF the
number of deaths and accidents this
wear from lawlessness and estimated
an annual loss of $3,000,000 to the
city because there were those who
dsregarded proper observance OF
law and order. He said there could
be no estimate of the suffering
caused and that those who obeyed
and respected the statutes often
times We're victims of those VINO
did not
