NINE AIRPLANES, SIX BALLOONS, DUE OCTOBER 8 All American Pathfinders , Will Perform Day and Night in Aerial Flights , HERE FOR THREE DAYS Thirty-one Trucks and More Than 100 Men Accompany Big Aerial Caravan Due to delays in Wisconsin and Minnesota, the All American Pathfind- ers, consisting of nine airplanes and six ballons, will not reach Bismarck before October 8. They are scheduled to arrive in Fargo October 5 and after remaining there for two or three dtys will fly to this city. It is expected that a very large crowd will be in Bismarck the three days the caravan will ‘be in this city as it is the largest number of air- planes ever visiting this state before. During their stay here, the birdmen will give all kinds of aerial exhibitions and stunt flying and the ballons which accompany the Pathfinders will also be sent up every day, ‘ The purpose of the Pathfinders is to map the country, indicate aerial routes, plot flying fields and secure other accurate and valuable informa- tion for the use of thle army air ser- vice and any commercial aerial ven- tures which might establish cross country aerial routes, This is the largest number of aircraft that has ever been sent out by the army air service and wherever the Pathfinders go they draw huge crowds to witness the big exhibition. Land at Fort Lincoln While at Bismarck, the aerial cara- van will be stationed at the Fort Lin- coln flying field where ample facilities are provided for a venture of this magnitude. Accompanying the air- planes and ballons are 31 motor trucks used to transport the ballons. the 21 offcers and 80 enlisted men who form the personnel and machinery to re- pair any broken parts of the-aircraft that might be damaged on the trip. From here the All American Path- finders will go to Rillings, Mont, and thence to the Pacific coast thus com-; pleting the first trans continental trip of any great number of airplanes. One of the features. of the exhibi- tions that will be staged during the Pathfinders stay in this city wil be night flying the first eyer seen in this vicinity. One of the motor trucks is equipped with huge electric search- lights which illuminate the, flyingfield making night landings possible. The field liehtine *eonipment hag the most powerful light in. the world throwing a. be effectively uv a distance of 15.000 feet. This light canbe seen 110 miles. Has Brass Band Resides the flying exhibitions which will be held during the three. a stay, there is a brass band carried with the caravan that will give concerts both in the city and out at the flying fleld. A miving picture show is alco carried in the trucks and films will.be shown on @ special screen giving scenes in the army air ‘service, bow men are trained to he aviators, pictures taken from machine high in the air and other interesting scenes. The airplanes fly from one city to the other, but the ballons are carried deflated on the motor trucks. One of the most interesting narts of the pro- pram to be given in this city will be the arrival of the nine airplanes in advance of the motor trucks in flight formation such as was used on the battle front in France bv the Ameri- can aviators when attacking and re- sisting attacks of German airplanes. ‘Night ‘Maneuvers Besides the day flights, night man- envers will also be held, the machines fiving in perfect formation going through the various evolutions follow- ed in pursuit and defense flying and manv other novel flying stunts only possible when a number of machines are in the air at the same time. As an example of the completeness of the Pathfinder’s eouipment it. is pointed out that a field enginerring squad is carried to construct anv ridges necessary for the passage of the heavily laden motor trucks and repairing any bridges that are not strong enough to supvort such heavy loads. ‘A recently adopted complete portable machine shop is also inclnded and is carried on a truck /especially built for this purpose, While here, the men will hold re- cruiting rallies and give any men of this vicinity of prover age a chance to enlist in the air service of the army, or the motor truck branch, HALLIDAY PEOPLE WANT TO COME TO BISMARCK AGAIN Had a Good Time Here on Wilson Day Even If They Did Not Hear ‘President \ | We are glad to note the number of county people that took advantage of Halliday’s special train of six coaches Wednesday that went down to Bismarck to celebrate Wilson.

The ball game was exciting and the air men in their flying stunts pleased them; a few partook of the pavement dance and then there was much fun on the train both going and coming home. The cows in the milk yard bawled their eyes out, but who cared? They were very willing to let down when their owner arrived home.

SCOTT Former Chief of Staff Holds In- formal Reception Here Last Night TELL TALES OF INDIANS One Man Who Knew. Old Soldier When He Was Second Lieu- tenant Very Happy General Hugh L. Scott,,retired, who made a flying visit to Bismarck to meet friends here, left this morniug for the Standing Rock Indian reserva- tion. Last night, General Scott, who was stationed at the old Fort Abraham Lincoln, on the west bank of the Mis- souri river forty years ago, met a few of the men who now live here and knew the former chief of staff when he was a lieutenant. They with Gen- eral Scott are all white haired now, jbut that did not prevent them fro: recounting some ‘of the experiences they all went through in those eariv days when Bismarck was hardly more than a general store and the inhabit- ants of the country were mainly Indi- ans. One man related how General Scott, then a lieutenant, taught school at of soldiers and_ officers stationed . at old Fort Abraham Lincoln and Lieuts Scott was the only teacher. “In those days,” said one of the old itimers; “the kids were more interested jin having battles with the Indian bow then they were in obtaining an eduaa- tion, even though their teacher was to become one of the best known aad +beloved officers in the army and final- jly become chief of staff. FIGHT SHAM, BATTLE “T remember distinctly and so does ithe General, when the kids obtained jnumber of old rifles,ssome black pow- der that we had out on Some canvas to dry and went out a mile from the fort to fight the Indian boys, The ‘rifles were all loaded when the Indians \were seen. The white boys fired, sev- eral yolleys and the little red boys re- ‘turned the fire with g fusilade of ar- rows. “The reports of the guns were heard ‘at the fort and we soldiers thought) that it was another Indian uprii The older Indians thought the same way. Both sides mounted, their horses} and galloped to where the fight he- tween the boys was taking place. Hap- pily no material damage had heen done and the Indians took their children to their tepees while we brought our kids back to the fort.” Other pioneers among those presert had similar tales of those - frontiers jdays and General Scott remembered nearly all of them very yividly. The old soldier Seemed very pleased to meet the mem who had lived through those exciting times with him. Thev all be- Jieve, that General Scott is the finest soldier that ever wore\ a uniform an:]| were delighted svith the opportunity to once again renew acquaintances. General Scott, now retired from active service in the army after an ¢x- tremely successful carreer, represents the Indian commissioner ,and is mak- ing a tour of inspection of the varivus Indian reservations in the northwest. Being acquanted with many of the older chiefs and able to converse with jthem in their own language, for Gen- ‘eral Scott is very fluent in the different iJanguages of the Indians of this sec- tion of the country, the general is able) to find out from the ‘redmen directly whether theb affairs are being handled in a satisfactory manner aud if they desire anything they do not now have. ‘ ENJOYED VISIT HERE “J have enjoyed my trip out here very much,” said General Scott last night, “and jt has been a pleasure to meet these men who lived here whe. I was a younger officer. Those wer stirring days and we all have wonderful experiences in through them.” Being no longer connected in an of- ficial capacity with the army, General Scott could: not ,say what would . be done with Fort Lincoln, but it is known that he ds favorably inclined toward having this army post reopened | and used for the army air service as a flying field. Having once held the highest position-in the peace time nz- my, it is felt that if General Scott speaks favorably of Fort Lincoln as an aviation post his advice will carry n large ‘amount of weight with the au- thorities at Washington, DEFER ACTION Washington, Sent. , 23—Republican Hyving for several days consideration of the ‘Amendment to the peace ‘treaty by sendtor Johnson, Republican, Califor- nia, proposing equal voting strenght in the league of nations between the United States, and Great Britain.
