The correspondent says the Ger- man airmen make no pretense at wearing the Spapish uniforms be- cause the field is carefully guarded. The Times correspondent further says that the “mystery of Cacers has sent every American and French correspondent, who have learned of the place, to jail or led to their being held and per- mitted to send only censored dis- patches.” - DIMOND DINNER Most of this tude on the part | lance of the opening of the Glacier PLAGE IN cAL. | WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. — A SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 15.—The LETTUGE FIELD First Violence Flares This| Morning — Tear Gas | Fired on Pickets ‘ SALINAS, Cal, Sept. 15—A mm-; ing crowd of 500 men and women| specially equipped airplane was ordered to hop at Fairbanks at 5 o'clock this morning for the first of a series of flights aimed at dis- covering cold waves long before they sweep across the United States, Weather Bureau officials announced.
