Magnificent Daring.

When the Light Brigade made
lis gallant but futile charge at the
Battle of Balaklava, Marshal Canrob
ert of the French army, looking on al
the tragic spectacle, is said to have
exclaimed, ''C'est magniflque, mais
ce nest pas la guerrer' That sentence
has become a classical expression for
brave deeds against desperate odds
"It is magnificent, but it is not war"
1t is heroic. but it is not according to
the rules. 1t is courageous, but it is
foolhardy.
The French people, il is reported
are deeply stirred by the gallant un
dertaking of Charles Lindbergh, setting
off alone in a small plane of one motor
TO make the flight from New York to
Paris. They are saying with Canrobert
cit is magnificent, but it is not war;
Ii is not according TO the rules of the
game. Grieved and distressed over
the fate of Nungesser and Coli, who
have now been given up as lost, they
face with generosity the possibility
that the lone American may, do what
two Frenchmen failed to do.
One-man flying is not unusual. The
American air mail pilots fly alone
making long hops over hazardous
conditions. Lindbergh. himself mail
pilot, has made many. flights without
companionship and aid. A few days
before he left on this present fight
he had crossed the continent alone in
two hops.
1t is pointed out that Lindbergh' s
greatest risk perhaps is in the danger
that he may fall asleep at the con-
trols. That, however, is not likely
In a temperament such as his. His
is sheer nerve. He has demonstrated
often i'm the past that he is at all
times in control of himself. He has
gone many hours without sleep in
previous performances. That he is
certain of his own powers in this re-
spect is shown by the fact that on
the night before he took off for Paris
he had less than three hours of sleep.
Almost anybody else would have
rested for longer than the usual period
of repose. It is reported, too, that he
ate no breakfast yesterday morning
before going into the cockpit which he
with grim humor likened to the death
cell in a penitentiary, with pardon
awaiting him in Paris.
Some men are born to such accom-
plishments as Lindbergh is now on
his way TO achieve. They have a
peculiar combination Of qualities that
make the ideal flyer. They have the
courage. the neryelessness and the
Imagination 10 cause them to disre-
gard hazards, and yet not heediessly
TO invite them. They are the ones
who do the magnificent things in the
worlds history, even though they
do not always conform to the rigid
rules of war

1t is a pretty safe bet that what

humanity off into price classes, as

not in the game last evening owing to
a cut on the inside of the lip. He will

The final games of the season will

here for two games, the first game be-
ginning at 1880 p. m. This is the last
chance to see the Bulldogs in action,
and victory means the championship
of the southern division of Arizona.
The Bisbee teams won both games
at Bisbee a month ago, the second team
taking a hard-fought game, 19 to 16,
while the first team succumbed to the
Pumas in a fourth quarter rally, 25 to
13. The score was 1913 when the last
quarter started.
The Bulldogs are tearing at the leash
and will redeem themselves next Fri
day when the Pumas will come here
for the return game. The Bisbee team
is built around Hargis, their tall center
and triple threat man. Hargis always
plays well and any any team will have
their hands full stopping his dribbles
and shots. The Bulldogs are anxious
for the whistle and this week will take
several hard workouts to fit them
selves for this game.

With Hoppe lacking less than Sc
