AMERICAN FLYERS
ARRIVE In ENGLAND
Reach Croydon Early This Afternoon
After an Uneventful Flight
from lie BOurget.

Croydon, Eng.-The American army
air men ON their world flight landed
here at 2:08 o'clock this afternoon.
The three machines TAXED easily
into the Croydon airdrome after an
uneventful flight across the channel
from Paris. Lieutenant Lowell Smith,
the fight commander, was the first to
land, and one of the first to greet the
American airmen was Mrs. Stuart
MacLaren, wife of the British world
flier, who asked news of her husband,
now in the Far East.
The aviators made the distance be-
tween LIE Bourget and Croydon, estl-
mated at 225 miles, in three hours
and three minutes.
The fiers had dull day for crossing
the English channel. There was hint
of rain but the dreaded fog was absent.
A crowd gathered at the aerodrome
here before the scheduled time for the
arrival of the airmen. Many Amerl-
cans were present anxious to greet
they countrymen to congratulate them
on their record breaking $4,000 mile
trip. Officials of the British air min
istry and attaches of the American
embassy were also on hand.
British airmen were generously
ready to wish the Americans luck in
their competition with the English
around the world fiers.
A British airplane set out for the
channel to escort the Americans to
the landing here.

NO QUARANTINE
I'M MICHIGAN CITY
Neither Vaccination Nor Quarantine
Are Enforced by Law in the
State of Michigan.

Detroit, Mich. Michigan's resort
trade has been severely hit this sum-
mer by stories broadcast IN other
states to the effect that smallpox IS
widely prevalent in Michigan, accord
ing to chamber of commerce and re-
sort bureau officials who charge well
organized propaganda, stressing the
Bugbear of enforced vaccination, is
being spread to discourage tourists
and resorters from entering the state.
To counterfeit this propaganda, which
already in the view of resort men, has
cost the state thousands of dollars,
the state department of health and the
Detroit board of health have issued
statements declaring Michigan to be
safer from danger of smallpox than
in many years.
There is no state of quarantine and
no enforced vaccination and there has
not been, the statements say.

LEADERS in THEFT
GIVE NO INFORMATION
Nicky Arnstein and Nick Cohn Refuse
To Tell Where Stolen Sc
curities Are Hid.

New York City.-"Nicky" Arnstein
and s'Nick" Cohn, who were regarded
as the leaders of $50,oo0,o00 bond
theft plot five years ago and who were
brought to this city several weeks
ago, in the expectation that they
would reveal where more than $1,000
900 in stolen securities were secreted,
are on their way back to the federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, to
serve out their sentences of two years
each in connection with the conspiracy.

in recovering the securities. Since
their arrival in this city they have
refused to reveal anything about

CONTINUE BATTLES
WITH FOREST FIRES
The States In the Northwestern Cor
ner of u. S. Still Battle
Fires In Forests.

San rancisco.-Eastern Washing
ton, northern Idaho and California
were today continuing their more or
less unsuccessful battles against
forest fires but rains in western
Washington and Oregon had nearly
ended the fire menace there.
Fires in northern Iadho and north
eastern Washington last night had
burned over several thousand acres
of timber land and had destroyed the
surface workings Of four mines, a
number Of ranch houses, and much
property of lumber companies, includ-
ing several hundred thousand feet of
timber. So far as known no lives have
been lost although a number of per-
sons have been injured and some
livestock killed. Four persons are
missing in British Columbia.
Flames were close enough to seven
towns in the Pend O'Reille river val
ley to cause anxiety to the inhabitants.
In some places ranches had loaded
their belongings on railroad cars in
preparation for a quick getaway. The
surface buildings of the Nabob, Jim
Blaine, Little Pittsburgh and Douglas
mines near Kellogg, Idaho, have been
destroyed.
In the Santa Barbara national forest
in California last night fire fighting
crews succeeded in throttling the
western advance of the flames to a
comparatively narrow front between
Sawmill and Saw Tooth mountains,
only to receive word that fresh OUT
break had been discovered at Oak
Grove, a mile north Of the main fire
line. The flames there were being
famed by a stiff wind.
A new fire in the Angeles National
Forest, also in California, in the San
Gabriel range, between Mount Lowe
and Mount Wilson, burned over thirty
acres, but was controlled last night.

AMERICAN TEAM MAY
LEAVE OLYMPIC GAMES
Julian S. Myrick Says That He Will
Withdraw Team Unless Facilities
are Provided.

Paris Julian S. Myrick, president
Of the United States Lawn Tennis as
ISOLATION, served notice on the inter.
nations Olympic committee today that
he will withdraw the American tennis
team unless "civilized" facilities are
Immediately provided.
Thus far, Myrick charges, the AM
orleans have been forced to go without
shower baths, without drinking water
and without towels
The American spokesman was en-
phatic that If conditions did not i'm
prove Immediately, the United States
players would quit the Olympics.
Only two shower baths have been
provided for the women players, Ny
rick said, and men carpenters still are
working in these, so that the players
cannot use them.
Moreover when our women players
want drink Of water, they are forced
to go to a nearby bar and carry the
water themselves to the courts.
Another complaint lodged against
the French was that the press facili-
ties for covering the tennis matches
are entirely inadequate and most con-
fusing.
The international committee is TAX
ing the matter under advisement,
meanwhile the American protest has
added further fuel to the ill-feeling
that exists between the French and
Americans.

to Support tire Republican
Ticket in Fall Elections.

Superior, Wis.--Attacks against the

only real Republican candidate for the
gubernatorial Office in the field and
charged that he is the only one who

Find Paris Pleasing.

LIE Bourget, France-The American
army round the world fliers hoped off
from the airdrome here at 11:05 O'Clock
this morning for England.
A French commercial air line ac-
companied the three United States air
planes to point out the way to the
channel. They we're followed by a
French military escort of three planes
which will take them to the coast.
On the British side Of the channel an
other air escort awaits them.
The world fiiers had fairly good
weather for their farewell to France.
There was a slight breeze and a hazy
sky, but official reports were for sat
isfactory flying conditions. The three
American airplanes took Off unocten-
tatiously. The pilots arrived only a
few minutes before the departure.
Their machines were brought out of
the hangers only when they were
about ready to start and they were
ready for the air at 11:00 o'clock,
the time set for leaving, but they
waited five minutes to have the COM
mercial express plane as guide.
The American fliers found life so
pleasant in Paris that they decided to
remain in the vicinity of the bright
lights until the last moment, only
allowing themselves sufficient time to
arrive in London and keep luncheon
engagement with the British air
officials.

TWO GENERATIONS OF
LUTHERANS AT ODDS
Lutherans Are at Odds Today as
Result of Argument
Over Pacifism.

st. Paul, Minn.-Two generations of
Lutherans are at odds today over
pacifism.
The Walther league, Young Peoples
organization of the Lutheran churches,
denounced pacifsm and declared the
movement fosters Utopian hopes that
never will be realized. A resolution
was adopted advocating the lawfulness
of righteous wars"
Other Lutherans today looked ask
ance at the resolution and some called
it "militaristic."
Speaking of the pacifst movement,
the resolution adopted declared it
runs counter to the experience and
common sense of men, which does not
accept the vagaries of modern paci-
fism, and because this movement i'm
perils the safety of country, since
its tendency is to undermine and "sap
the defensive strength of the nation
and therefore constitutes a distinct
national danger"

RIGHTS OF BARRIERS
The State Federation of Labor is
Against Any Infringement on the
Rights of BARRIERS.

Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. The Wis
consin Federation of Labor in today's
session of their four-day convention
here, took hand in the controversy
between BARRIERS and bobbers with the
adoption of a resolution condemning
any attempt to restrict the historic
right and prerogatiye of the barber
trade.
An alleged effort on the part of
beauty parlor operators to obtain leg
islation forbidding the cutting of wo-
mems hair by male BARRIERS, gave rise
to the resolution.
In the discussion preceding the
adoption of the resolution the union
BARRIERS maintained that hair cutting
