WASHINGTON GETS NEWS
OF LOCATELLPS RESCUE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Lieu-
tenant Locatelli, the lillian aviator,
has been found.
The message telling Of the rescue
came from the cruiser Raleigh and
said:
'Locatelli sighted by Richmond at
1924 Q1:24 p. M, Sunday. latitude
1886, longitude 394S. Embarked
passengers. All well"
The position given, which was re-
ceived at a. M, today by the navy
department, is about eighty miles
almost due east of Cape Farewell.
Lieutenant Locatelli had been
missing since he hoped off from
Reyiavik Thursday morning in COM
pany with Lieutenant Lowell RI.
Smith and Lieutenant Erik H. Mel
son. He was last seen several hours
later flying along the course from
the Icelandic port to Frederiksdal,
Greenland but he failed to reach the
latter place with the Americans.
During the earlier stages OF the
long hop across the Atlantic from
Iceland to Greenland, the Italian
aviator, using a faster machine than
the type in which the Americans are
making their globe encircling trip,
outdistanced his companions, pass
ing the United States cruiser Rich
mOnd, some 70 miles southeast OF
Reykjavik, five miles ahead of
Smith and Nelson.
When the Italian failed to arrive
at Frederiksdal or to be reported
from any other point near Cape
Farewell at the southern tip of
Il ta MI cI,
Admiral Thomas p. Magruder or
dered the American war vessels on
patrol near Greenland to search for
him. 1t was this search which was
rewarded last night.
Locatelli's unsuccessful attempt to
accompany the two Americans on
the hazardous journey over S25 miles
of the north Atlantic, followed a sue
cessful solitary flight from Pisa,
Italy, to Iceland by way of England
and Scotland. The flight was made
with the sanction of the Italian gov
eminent and in it's later stages,
particularly from Kirkwall to Hoefn
Hornafjord, Iceland, with the aid of
the facilities which previously had
been used by The American fliers
and which had been put at Loca-
TELLS disposal by the United States
authorities.
The Italian originally was to have
been one of the pilots on the aerial
expedition which ROald AmundSen,
Norwegian explorer, planned 10
make to the north pole and which
later was postponed Indefinitely.
Locatelli then decided to make the
North Pole trip, but postponed his
effort until next year, considering
that he needed more experience in
Arctic flying before attempting the
daring feat Of reaching the top of
the world by airplane.
He set out from Pisa July 25 in
tending to follow m The wake of the

Later, however. he realized that

-:FITZ Hi LETTER.
ye Lover of Fitz Hi:

| Ye Lover OF FitZ Hi:
Mirth reigned supreme and drove
away the gloom of Blue Monday and
the Thirteenth in chapel Monday Mr.
| Petty, member of the board and ex-
| ponent of Kiwanian principles, was a
welcome visitor and brought with
him several ideas Of fun. First, we had
a lottery and good many of us won
| pencils-good five-cent ones, too In
| another lottery with a box of candy
at stake, only the football team and
| the girls were eligible. Several boys
names were called but none were gal
liant gridiron warriors, SO there was
no candy for them. But finally a girls
name was found and Mary Hobbs
received the prize. No fun thus far, but
when Mr.. Petty called for the pres
idents of the classes, or male repre-
sentatives it really began. He present
ed each with small milk bottle, ideal
ly fitted with nipple. The Freshman
president was the only one that
could really get milk from the bottle
and OF course he wen the prize, which
outwIrGly a box of candy, proved to
be a bottle of milk, containing enough
milk for the whole Freshman class.
With it was also teething ring. The
milk was appropriately served at re-
cess instead of chapel
Fitz Hi has not emerged from
game at the small end of the score
this season and does not intend to let
this record be broken by Triton Hi

Another month, more tests, mil
lion months, million more tests. 1t
seems that about the best thing over
here is test week since it is always on
time and exceedingly regular. But
everyone is trying to work hard and
pass with flying colors.
With football in full swing, little
thought has been given to basketball
by the students as a whole, but the
coach and a few of the girls have seen
the need of practice and candidates are
daily reporting for regular work. An
influx of new material from the rural
schools has considerably buoyed our
spirits.
Committees have been appointed
and plans are going ahead rapidly so
that this year on the night of October
thirty first, we are going to have the
best Halloween Carnival ever pulled
off at Fitz Hi This means work, but
what it takes, we have.
A recent organization which is de-
signed to give US better idea of real
music is the Junior Music Club. The

sizes, but we hope that they will in the

Cancellation Has Set Back
 Between France Germany

PARIS, Dec. 13.-The policy of con- ciliation between Germany and the Allies has received a setback, it is feared in French circles, by the re- port of the inter-allied military con- trol mission in Germany that the pro- visions of the Versailles treaty are not being carried out.
 The inter-al1ied commission accord ing to it's report, has found that the German general staff continues it's deliberations, as bfeore the war; that German arms factories are turning out new air material, and that con- trary to the treaty there is in Ger many an effective force of soldiers, far exceeding in numbers the limit fixed by the Versailles treaty. This is a direct evasion of the intent of France to limit German armaments to point where they would cease to be a menace to the balance of the world.
