E. A. EVERETT SPOKE
AT MEMS CIVIC CLUE
TRAVEL TALK SHOWS KEEN OBJ
SERVATION OF YELLOW MEMS
ORIENTAL CUSTOMS

Mr.. e. A. Everett gave wonderful
word picture and Interpretation of
Oriental life in his talk before. the
Mems Civic Club of the Congregation
al Church at special meeting of the
Club held Tuesday evening. The
speaker took his hearers into the
intimate details of his round-the-world
trip in manner that was illuminating
and delightful. Many little sidelights
upon local manners and customs and
insights into racial and national char
acteristics were given. Celebrated OBJ
jects and sights that have become
rather hackneyed in ordinary travel
ogues were filled with fresh interest
and value by the freshness and
sl1rewdness of his observations. The
audience saw through his eyes and
got his personal reactions to historic
scenes and contemporary Oriental
life as seldom they are permitted to
do, and with great reluctance saw
the evenings entertainment brought
to it's close. The men who gather at
these luncheons every two weeks
count them among the pleasantest
and most profitable hours they can
spend. The next meeting of the Club
will occur next Tuesday, the 10Th,
with Rev. A. S. Beale, of Grand Ave.
Congregational Church, Milwaukee, as
the speaker.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING
BROTHER OF JACOB KMIEck HoR-
RI8LY BURNED WHEN STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING BOLT

Tony Kmieck, aged So was literally
skinned alive by a lightning bolt in
the electric storm here Saturday night

panions, Aleck Zambon and William
Eagleoslr. It was on the shore where

and would return in short while.
When boarders discovered yesterday

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-09-24

The most disquieting thing in our
so-called defense programme is this
statement attributed to Judge Wilbur,
Secretary of the Navy:
I'm view of the experience of the
navy planes in the Arctic expedition.
the failure OF the Hawaiian flight and
the Shenandoah disaster, we have
came to the conclusion that the At
lantic and the Pacific are still our
best defenses. 1--WE have nothing to
fear from enemy aircraft that is not
on this continent"
The experience in the Arctic, the
failure of the Hawaiian flight, the
dreadful Shenandoah disaster had
nothing to do with real air naviga-
ton, but a great deal to do with in
competent management of our air
force.

1t is to be hoped that the inquiry
when it comes, will not be white
washing enterprise. but real investi
cation.
The President will want to know
why the protest of Commander Lans,
downe, an experienced airman who
had flown across the Atlantic in a
dirigible, was ignored The President
will not want any whitewashing or
any offhand suppression of Colonel
Mitchell, who isn't easily suppressed,
by the way. He will want the. facts,
ana will see that he, gets them.

forced to combine in great transporta

own selections rather than have the
Government do the choosing for them.
Why not have a selection of welL

acquainted with traffic conditions
make a survey of railroads, and let
the Government know which combin

of economy and of efficiency?

This bronze tablet contracted for
in 1924, has just been completed and
erected at Mere Point, Casco Bay,
Maine, thirteen miles due Northeast
from the City of Portland. This was
the point where the Around the
World American Aviators made their
first landing on United States soil.
The idea of erecting the tablet
originated with Percival P. Baxter,
Governor of Maine in 1924. who be-
lieved that this event of nationwide
interest should be suitably commem-
GRATED. He secured a deed to the
