Liberty
George WaShington's era was

One OF the greatest comments
was made In 1884 BY Edmund
Burke: The people never give up
their liberties but under some de-
lusion."
And shall this spoken by John
Curran in Dublin In 1908. ever die?
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty. Curran's first version. in
1870. was this: The condition upon
which God hath given liberty TO
man Is eternal vigilance"

SPANISH AVIATOR
HAILED IN MEXICO
Pombo Completes Aerial Pilgrim
age to See Sweetheart, but
She Sails Soon.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. September H.
Juan Ignacio Pombo was welcomed to
Mexico City yesterday by his sweet
heart and 5000 cheering compatriots
who had awaited him since last May
The Spanish aviator had taken more
than four months to ny here from
Spain, and had surmounted discour-
aging hard luck. Once he was hurt
when his plane crashed in Brazil
Again he was laid up for weeks in
Costa Rica, recovering from an opera
ton for appendicitis.
But as he joined Senorita Maria
Elena Rivero in the relative privacy
of the Spanish Embassy his troubles
appeared behind him. All he had
to do now was obtain a "yes" from the
childhood girl friend, love for whom
drew him on his hazardous aerial
pilgrimage.
He arrived just in time to see the
young woman, whose mother an
nounced before he met her that she
and her daughter would leave i'm.
mediately for Spain.
Although it required two airplanes
and an unusually long time to make
the flight, Pombo enjoyed the dis
tinction Of being the first Spanish
aviator to reach Mexico in his own
plane.

Street Cars.

Meeting for the first time this Fall,
the West End Citizens Association
voted unanimously last night to sign
pledges in The Stars safe driving cam
paign.
On another motion. the associa-
ton registered opposition to use by
the Capital Transit CO. of one-man
street cars. Incidents we're cited by
members where trafflc was tied up
because OF the single operators in
ability to keep his car on schedule
while making change during rush
periods.
Ihlder Addresses Session.
John Ihlder, executive officer Of the
Alley Dwelling Authority, concluded
the meeting with talk on the prob
lens of slum reclamation as affecting
the West End area.
He pointed out the gain to be made
by a community in making possible
acquisition Of property by the Gov
ernment. Illustrating this point. he
cited Pennsylvania avenue, a street
originally intende, to be the show
place of Washington. asserting that
only by the erection Of Government
buildings was its appearance finally
preserved. He explained that the area
Immediately adjoining Capitol Hill
had not become the most fashionable
| center OF Washington, as originally
intended. because of the speculative
values placed on real estate there in
anticipation Of Government acquisi-
ton.
Urges Fair Evaluation.
Back to the problem now facing
West End citizens, he warned that only
| by placing a fair evaluation on their
property can citizens expect the Gov
ernment to undertake building ir
| that section.
In slum reclamation work, some
of which already is under way in the
West End area. Mr.. Ihlder explained
the nature OF the undertaking as
primarily one Of civic benefit
Under the Alley Dwelling Authority
OF which he Is executive officer, rec.
lamation can only be undertaken ir
property Immediately adjoining q
building whose main entrance is or
an alley.
The use to which the reclaimed sites
are to be put depends entirely on the
needs Of that particular section, he
said. 1t may be q garage, a play
ground, or q low-cost dwelling prof.
ect. Under the new law all such alley
| dwellings not vacated or sold to the
Government by 1914 are subject te
immediate condemnation.

Board Tuesday on charges of be-
ing absent from duty.
The man in question, Ernest

in the Gamewell department.
Last week he was ordered
transferred TO active duty as
patrolman. but he mas never re-

man and would not buy uniform.
Police could give no definite
reason for his transfer to active
service. but other public officials
said they understood the change

KANSAS CITY IN
PATH OF FLOOD
Heavy Damage Is Feared as
Two Swollen Rivers
Rush Together.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 5.-The
crests of two great floods, one swell
ing down the fertile valley of the
Kaw River through Kansas, the
other coming down the Missouri
from the north, converged upon
Kansas City today.
The Kaw empties into the Mis-
souri, here, and Army engineers fear
that if both flood tides reach here
at approximately the same time
flood conditions such as have not
occurred in Is years will result.
All possible precautions against
both property damage and .oss OF
life are being taken. Army officers
conferred with officials of both Kan
sas Citys. and officers of railroads,
whose yards face inundation.
Materials for strengthening levees
and erecting auxiliary dikes were
stored in the central industrial dis
trict where heaviest damage will
occur if the waters break through.
A force of 5000 men was recruited
and held ready for duty under SUI
pervision of the Army engineers.
Erection of a sixfoct auxiliary
levee, which blocked Santa Fe tracks
but may hold back considerable high
water, was started at one danger
point
Orders that the entire CCC per-
sonnet in Missouri, estimated at TO-
500, be held in readiness for emer-
gency duty in flood areas were re-
ceived from the Seventh Corps head
quarters in Omaha.
The advance Of the floods the last
two days has not been accompanied
by the tragic loss of life that
marked the earlier stages Of the
disaster. The death toll stood at
around 125 dead or missing, but
there have been no additions since
the crest swept past ConCordia,
