tinguished statesmen who discuss
pressing problems confronting the
American Government. It Is heard
locally through Station WMAL.

when war actually came upon us we had to
change the very habits of our lives and minds
to meet its realities The slow processes by
which we achieved these changes and applied
our latent power to the problems of combat in
Europe, tespite our will, our numbers and our
wealth, have endeavored to describe. Therein
lie the lessons of which I write.
wish to dedicate this modest work to the men
of all ranks who served with me in France, and
especially to those who gave their lives to the
cause for which we fought.
To my comrades of the allied armies I wish to
say that am not attempting to write a history
of the World War or of the epic part they took
in it. write of our Army and for our own
people and I have not consciously magnihed or
minimized the effort of any army or any people.
There is credit for all of us in the final triumph
of our united arms The struggle of the allies
was much longer their sacrifices very much
greater than OURS
I am grateful to President Wilson and Secre-
tary Baker for selecting me to command our
armies and for the wholehearted and unfailing
support they accorded me in France. No COM
mander was ever privileged to lead finer force;
no commander ever derived greater inspiration
from the performance Of his troops.

Trade Wind Believed Down
in Atlantic as Rough
Seas Continue.
CARRIED SUFFICIENT FUEL
TO HAVE REACHED EUROPE
Lieut.. MacLaren and Mrs. Hart
Had Hoped to Carry "Pay
Load" to Paris.

BY the Associated Press.
HORTA, Island Of Fayal, Azores,
January 1.-THE storm-swept Atlantic
was believed today to have claimed the
lives Of two more transoceanic flyers.
Hope for the safety of Mrs. Berry,
Hart, 27-year-old widow, and Lieut..
william S. MacLaren, who left Ham,
ilton, Bermuda, at 11:15 am. &c. S. To
Saturday for Horta in their monoplane
Trade Wind, dimmed fast with the pass
ing hours.
Anxious watchers here were gloomy
as the hours passed with no word from
the little white ship. At l pm. it
seemed impossible that the two flyers
could have weathered the storms which
have been sweeping the islands.
Worst Weather in Years.
Steamers passed and put into Horta
reporting no word of the fight. One
ship came in with a disabled steamer
IN tow, reporting the worst weather In
years along the Trade Winds route.
The aviators, with pay load" which
they hoped to take to Paris, expected
to negotiate the 1000 miles in about 81
hours. This would have put them here
at 11:15 am. yesterday (8:15 am, E.
S. To.
They have not been seen or heard of
since the take-off. They carried no
radio.
The 300 gallons of gasoline which
their plane carried was believed to
have been sufficient to keep them until
6 pm. yesterday. In this time they
might have reached the Western Euro
pean or Moroccan coast, but in view
OF northeast gale, poor visibility and
other unfavorable weather conditions
this was considered improbable.
If forced down at sea the plane prob
ably would not have hoated for more
than few minutes. Although it was
equipped for a sea landing, the giant
waves seen hereabouts the past three
days would have crushed an even more
substantial ship.
Possibilities Of Safety.
Authorities here sent up rockets
throughout the night as possible bea-
cons for the aviatorS, and French,
Portuguese and Spanish officials passed
the word along the coast lines to watch
for the pair. If forced down on the
Moroccan coast they might remain lost
for weeks.
There was a small chance of their
having landed near small steamer,
unequipped with wireless. In such .
case several days might elapse before
there would be word of their safety.
Mrs. Hart and MacLaren left North
Beach, N. Y, January 3 on their pro-
posed flight to Paris, intending to make
Bermuda on their first lap. They
broke a sextant, and after being missing
for several hours returned and landed
on the Virginia coast near Norfolk.
Last Wednesday they few from Nor
folk to Hamilton. They remained in
Bermuda until Saturday. awaiting IA
vorable weather. From Horta they in
tended to fly to Paris.

WASHINGTON AND
 MILL FAIRGROUNDS WIN NET GAMES

Hank" Garrity's Mil street Johnny Wilcoxs Hamilton park netmen hooked up in two sterling league games last night at Washington park under the direction of Frank McGrath. The first game saw the teams on even terms but the Millers finally eked out a 15 to 12 win.
 Millcrs Win Two
 The second game found the East Enders fighting more determin- edly at the start but as soon as the NH street boys jumped into the lead Johnny WilcoX's charges lost some of their vigor with the result that they were outclassed by 15 to score.
 rom FitzgeraId's an-arOund play stood out for the winners, while Richi's spectacular playing kept the losers continually in the run ming. Frank McGrath umpired both games.
 Dwycr Makes Debut At & o'clock with 200 or more spectators on hand, Fuller street took the court against Washing ton in the classic of the evening. George Curtis presented the evening. George Curtis presented the strongest lineup he could pos sibIy scrape up and the fans sure were handed 4 couple of laughs as "Pap" Griffin and "Rlxey" Dwyer, the elongated hand and leg men, took their places besides the net. Charley Lewis, "F'reeno' Crean and "Fefty' Kane made up the remainder of the team.
 Washington took the opening game 15 to 2 due to some flnt team playing. Bill Synotts Fuller ties came back strong in the sec ond game and with the score to I against them they played like demons and scored II points as Washington was handed q goose egg. Eddie Dunlap, Paulie Touran- geau and Marty Egan featured in the triumph.
 What Il Game
 The final clash was one to write home about. Both teams fought neck and neck until the score read l1-1l. Washington took two sue cessive points only to lose the serve. Fuller failed to score with the serve, but Washington on their next two serves scored the neces- sary two points for victory. The game was one of the most spectac- ular seen on the Hill in years, Kane and Crean, the two Hill aouthpaws and "RiZey" Dwyer played faultless games, while Dan lap, Egan and Tourangeau were outsta nding for the losers.
