NEW YORK. July a2.--I flew over
New Jerseys no mans land early
Sunday morning.
Square mile after square mile Of
torn and shattered country was un..
folded beneath me.
BeIching clouds Of yellow guls
pilurous smoke filled the atmcs,
phere with dingy haze and made
Observation difficult, but when sud.
den wind puffs broke the drifting
smoke billoWs apart could see
leaping flames bursting from burn
Ing buildings on all sides.
Three times aa Otlr plane circlcd
the area. I saw and heard ex-
plosions.
They sounded like the firing Of 8
French rs, and the suddeu erup-
tions OF white smoke looked the.
same way.
Square Mile Of Fire
one square mile of the stricken
territory was d solid mass Of flames.
In all my experience have never
seen 50 impressive q sight from the
air.
It was as though Judgment day.
had come to this part OF the earth.
at least.
Near Mt. Hope / could see through
the sWirling smoke the low build
ings Of the army arsenal at Picca-
tiny. where d secoIid explosion was
threatened. Anxiously we watched
the fire. 1T seemed fO progress to-
ward this danger zone. II moved
slowly.
Casey Jones, the noted pilot, and
myself left Curtiss Field. Mineola,
Il. i, in a Curtiss Bib. with q
C-21 Cnrtiss engine, and headed
across Hell Gate straight for Lake
Hopatcong. When over the Hudson
we could see the smoke from the
explosion area.
Buildings Blown TO Pieces
we had to buck a strong head
wind all the way, and when we
reached the arsenal area this made
the going extremely rough.
The heat from below and the air
currents passing through the hills
made the plane Wabble Ike e skiff
on a rough sea.
We circled around the area for
an hour, maintaining attitudes Of
from 1000 to 1920 feet all the
time.
The first three times we circled
the burning area there were no
explosions, but on our fourth trip
arount we saw and heard the three
explosions ] have described.
On several of our trips around
we passed over portions OF the
danger area. and got a good look
at the buildings.
On the southwest corner Of the
area there was a long line of
buildings blown to pieces.
There were gaping holes in their
sides and roofs, and the ends OF
many were missing altogether.
Yellow Smoke Explosions
During one OF our trips around
the area we counted five separate
explosions in the eastern area. and
on another trip we saw several ex-
plosions which gave rise to a dense
yellow smoke, like sulphur. These
yellow smoke explosions were not
accompanied by any report at all.
Altogether I should say we saw
40 or so big buildings in flames.
Four or five miles away from the
area we could see dense black
masses, which we knew were thou
sands Of automobiles, stopped by
the soldiers who had thrown a
guard completely around the ar.
senal area.
The flames were apparently con.
fined to the area where the racked
and torn buildings were all ablaXe.
Although there were trees beyond
the cleared area, these looked too
green to US to be in danger OF
catching fire.

HOW TO BE T

Old Ed Howe, the Kansas wise man, used to tell the read
ers II his paper, the Atchison Globe, that the meanest man in
Atchlson always made his family wait until the January sales
to buy their Christmas presents.
A man in Indiana, it is said used to refuse to let his
wife pick the apples for her own use. John, she would re-
monstrate, There aren't any of the hafrotten ones left"
Then wait until some rot" this mean old fellow would snap
back at her. We're too poor to eat the good ones"
How everybody despises a. mean old cuss like those fellows
Women will send flowers to the jail to bedeck the cell of a
murderer, a thief may be given another chance, but when a
person is just ornery and mean, there's not much sympathy
for him anywhere.
What's the reason?
Why, it is that we are all ideaGsts. The rapacious old hum
bugs of the old days who acquired a million or so by more or
less shady methods, found that after all the best use to which
they could put their money was the service of mankind.
Every man and woman who really wants the good opinion
of the neighbors, hasn't such a hard chore to perform after all.
No one needs to possess the entire calendar of virtues. Just
generosity, that's all. Just a little human kindness in ones make
up will make other folks overlook the faults.

DOES 1T MENACE WYOMING?
casper Tribune)

Announcement of a movement
that may be of the greatest import
to Wyoming and which no snap
judgment, would appear to menace
the interests of this state, is con-
tanned in an Associated Press dis
patch from Washington under date
of April 20.
This report discloses the fact that
an appropriation of one million dol
lars is included in an amendment
to the Interior department bill, for
improving the Montana entrance to
Yellowstone National park.
While Wyoming has every desire
to cooperate with Montana on every
project for the mutual benefit of
these two states, it would seem as
though u sister state had in the
past, benefited enough from tour
list travel to the park so that her
desires at the present time for ad-
vancing her own interests in this
particular could and should be sub
%ordinated to the rights of Wyom-
ing.
1t is a well known fact that sew
eral million people in the United
States have, and still do look upon
Yellowstone National park as at
least an adjunct to. if not an in
tegral part of, Montana, whereas a
States will show ninety some per
cent of the area of the park lies
within the western and northern
borders of Wyoming, If these border
lines were projected in a straight
line to a given point. The competi-
ton between the two states for
park tourists should continue on
a friendly basis, but rs a matter
of business, Wyoming should jeal-
ously guard against any federal APP
preparation at this time which would
tend to offset the money citizens
of this state are expanding and the
efforts being made by our news
papers and civic organizations in
advertising the park as a part of
Wyoming's scenic assets.
While it is granted that the park
United States, it's geographical To-
cation gives 1T a closer relationship
to the citizens of Wyoming than
to those of any other section.
This newspaper would recommend
that no assistance be promised to
Montana in obtaining this million
dollar appropriation for a new en-
trance from Red Lodge to Cooke
City, Montana, until the results of
such a project, as affecting our in
t~erests, be fully determined.

WYOMING DRY SAYS TRIBUNE

That Wyoming is not as wet as many of the anti-prohibi-
tionists would have people think, was disclosed by the Cheyenne
Tribunes recent campaign when it circulated the entire state,
sending four or five hundred questionaires to the leading men
of each county asking not for personal opinions, but of the
prevailing facts in their communities regarding prohibition.
According to the Tribune, these questionaires show Wyoming
to be decidedly dry.
There is a widespread disappointment in the 18th Amend
ment and the manner in which the Volstead act is being handled.
Conditions are admittedly bad, but the people of Wyoming still
retain the same ideas regards to prohibition as they did at the
time the state dry law was passed. A large percentage of the
questionaires returned sentiment in favor of either a more
rigid enforcement of the ~prohibitory law, or else a modification
which would do away with the illicit liquor traffic.

MOTHERS DAY

mothers give all and ask nothing in return. To bring us
mo the world they endure the agonies of the Valley of the
SHADOW. 10 them we turn in childhood for guidance and wis
dom. Their sefsacrifices is continuous, their love more en-
curing than the hills. Small wonder, that men have exalted
hotnernood a. a sacred state and mother love as symbolic
of all that is finest in life.
More than a decade ago, Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia,
originated Mothers Day. The entire nation will observe if
next Sunday.
While every day should be Mothers Day, it is excellent that
we have a special day set aside for remembrances, tenderness
and gratitude to mother.
Especially is it a redletter day for ones whose mothers
are living. Send her flowers. If far from home, write her a
Mothers Day letter. She will treasure the remembrance be-
You'd the understanding of men. These little finer touches
mean so much to her, especially if she is close to the sunset
of life.

If the fiction characters cuss
it's a high-brow magazine.
There are just two PHILOSOPHERS
of life: Do unto others and do
others.
And many people think they are
good merely because they are tired
of SHINING.
One reason why success goes to
the head is because nature doesn't
like a u
Man works hard to establish a
credit and then frequently finds
it too good for his good.
About the only place where a
conservative is handicapped is at
the necktie counter.
Keeping shoes shined is expensive
but at least you needn't check them
when you go in to lunch.
If changing it would affect your
bread and butter, it probably isn't
a genuine conviction.
About the only way to get smiles
from everybody is to be Santa Claus
or a paying teller.

The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-04-09

For half a century the battle Of
the Little Big Horn has been
known as the Custer massacre. 1t
is time that another name be given
it, in the opinion of Colonel w. A.
Graham, judge advocate, United
States army, and author Of ''The
Story of The Little Big Horn,
Clusters Last Fight" who is play
ing a prominent part in activities
of the National Custer Memorial
association in sponsoring Obser-
vance of the semi-centenniaI ami
Versary of the battle on June "a,
% and 20, next.
Colonel Graham's story of the bat
tie of the Little Big Horn is cOnced-
ed by surviving officers of the Sew
enth and those historians and writer's
who have made a study of this mem
sorable engagement, to be the best
balanced account of the fray in which
Gen George A. Custer and his i'm
mediate command of five companies
were annihilated by some 5000
Sioux and Cheyenne Indian warsiors
on June IS, 1876.
cit was no massacre" says Col
lonel Graham. "On the contrary it was
a bitterly contested combat to death
between the armed representatives
of two civilizations, each of which
fought after the manner of his kind
The simple truth is that in this, the
greatest battle ever Waged between
the red men and the white, between
a receding and an advancing race
the red men had the victory, because
they exhibited that day greater pro
ficiency in the art of war than die
the chosen representatives of tn
white men. Warfare, however it b.
savage, is not a massacre when tn
conquered go to their deaths witt
arms in their hands.
"In all Indian warfare mutilatiOl
of the bodies of the enemy dead, a
well rs torture of living prisoners
expected. 1t is part and parcel @

battle of the Little Big Horn is a
the more remarkable for the fac
