b LA LYERS WIPE 0UT “ENEMY VILLAGE” One Salvo of Bombs Wrecks . Five Buildings at Exhibi- tion for Shriners. — While a siren shrieked out a warn- inz that sent a chill through the spectators, three De Haviland bomb- ing airplanes blew up a village built at the south end of Bolling Field this morning, climaxing a two-hour program of thrilling exploits in the air—all for the visiting Shriners. Five houses had been built at the fiela, forming a village which was supposed to house enemy troops. As the bombing planes were sighted, a wail emanated from one of the hang- ars and the occupants of the village Tan for their lives. As the airpianes came closer and closer the shrieking became more intense. Suddenly a sal- Vo of bombs dropped from under the followed by a tremendous ex- a volume of smoke and frag- s 'of wood flying in the air. “hen the smoke cleared one lone wall was left standing, which alone prevented the village from being Wiped out. The bombers were Lieut. 7. P. Smith, Lieut. Bogert, Lieut. Beaton, Lieut. Whitney, Lieut. Wil- Rins and Sergt. Hukill. Gen. Patrick Flies, Tarlier in the morning the air was churned into a feverish temperature by planes of various types.’ Maj. SonMason M. Patrick opened the circus when he took off at the “stick ©of a Curtis JN. biplane. He was followed shortly by an ex- hibition of message dropping. A white panel was located 600 feet in front of the grandstnd and three planes carrying Capt. C. H. Reynolds, Capt. William C. Ocker and Lieut. Paul C. Wilkins, dashed across the iine at a height of a few feet, throw- ing the message bags on the panel A recitation of every term in the dictionary of aerial acrobatics was then iven by Capt. St. Clair Streett in » Thomas Morse pursuit plane; Lieut. L. V. Beauy, jr, in an S. E-5, and Licut. Lester J. Maitland in Fokker. Capt.

The final event on the program, a se around the city with Lieuts. tland, MacReady, Maughan and all world_famous pilots, was Postponed until Wednesday morning Today's program will be repeated tomorrow. $ Aerial Equipment on View. A complete layout of equipment and apparatus used in aeronautics by the AFmy was on view to the spectators. This included the following types of airplanes: De Haviland 4-B, the old faithful of the Army alr service; SE: b, British scout and combat plane; Sperry Messenger of the type that landed on the Capitol plaza; Fokker, one of the German war scouts turned over to the United States under the armistice terms; completely equip- ped photograph plane; fully equipped radio plane; L. W. F. “Owl" the big- gest bomber in_the air service; Mar- tin bomber; Thomas Morse pursuit plane; Curtiss JN training plane and the Avro British training plane. Motors Are Displayed. In the enginering department the Shriners saw Liberty, Hispano-Suiza and,rotary motors intact and knock- ed down, wing structures, fusilages, how propellers are made and the assembling of planes and covering of wings. In_another hangar the photo sec- tion's equipment was spread out for inspection. It included aerial cam- eras, camera_guns and exclusive pho- tographs of Washington and vicinity taken from the air. The model airway was explained in detail and the air service meteoro- Jogical service showed the Shriners Thow it keeps track of the winds and selects the best weather for flying. This ground exhjbition will continue from 9:30 o'clock”am. to 5 p.m. each day until Friday. HUNDREDS OF SHRINERS REGISTER AT ROCKVILLE Bteady Stream of Cars Pass Through County Seat From Saturday Noon. ROCKVILLE, Md.,, June 4—A large umber of Montgomery county Shrin- grs and other Masons are busy regis- tering hundreds of motorists passing through Rockville on their way to the Washington convention. They began work about noon Saturday and have been on duty night and day since and will probably continue so throughout today and possibly long- er. They are stationed in front of the fair grounds and as the machines roll up they are halted and the num- ber of each car and the name and address of the person in charge is taken. This information is promptly forwarded to the Washington head- quarters and is there kept on file. The number of cars, which passed through Rockville en route to Wash- ington yesterday averaged more than 400 an hour and the record for to- day is expected to show more, ex- clusive of those in the caravan. ! GETS RESCUE MEDAL. * An official award of a rescue medal was made yesterday by the National Red Cross to Mrs, Samuel B. Milton of the District chapter, for saving the life of a drowning ten-year-old boy at Chesapeake Beach last Aug- zracefully ust. Ofcials of the District chapter an- nounce that the chapter headquar- ters at 16 Jackson place will be open for first aid and emergency service incident to the Shrine convention this week from § am. until mid- night.

Our highways are bulilt by and under the states, with such federal partigpation as is calcu- lated to assure continuity and ticulation: precisely stem seeks to work out the local control of interests that are essen- tially lo tional sovereignty over national con- cerns. We have all come to realize, with the growth of motor transport, in the open country, that a broad plan must be kept always in mind, alming to make the improved rurai | highways complementary to the rail- | ways Rural Life Showing Effect “The rural life of the nation is showing the eflects of the trans- portation revolution which has been annihilating distances and costs, and removing the disadvantages of re- moter and isolation which have ever n the greatest drawbacks to life in the country. Thus far the { motor vehicle ha n an evolution so rapid that the highway has not kept pace with the vehicle. But de- spite all our difficulties since the war, a truly wonderful progress has been made in highway construction, juntil now the interstate system of approximately 200,000 miles begins to_ a definiten “But lyving bey d this system of modern main highways, are more than 2,000,000 miles of roads whose service is though of great importance, 1 essentially local. Looking out from { the viewpoint of this, our golden | milestone, we must recognize the ob- ligation to modernize these more re- mote sectlons of the system, to the fullest extent justified by economic conditions. Every form of transport, by water, by rail, by highway, or by airway, must be drawn upon for a maximum of the particular kind of service for which it is best fitted. | Urges Use as Air Distance Zero. “In this connection it will not be |inappropriate to suggest that in our development of airways, for the aviation of the continent, this Zero stone and others which will be placed in the various cities, may be used as reference points for obtaining the air distances and of landing ficld: “The importnace of a perfected highway system as a measure of na- tional defense has been profoundly impressed upon us, and must not be overlooked. The amazing mobiliza- tion of the forces which only vester- day were fighting for civilization, was possible in no small part because the roads built by the Caesars were still available for such tremendous move- ments. If the time comes when our own country has need for a like mobilization in the national defense, a perfect system of highwavs will be one of our most powerful bul warks. “The efforts of the various na- tional road organizations which are presented here today, for the com- pletion of main trunk highways from long distances, are altogether to be commended. The Lee Highway Asso- ciation, in presenting the government with this monument, is making an important contribution to the co- ordination of the highways. There is not in existence at present a sin- gle road from coast to coast which can be used unimpeded throughout the entire vear. So, in the spirit of patriotic ambition ' for a national Righway unification, this_association has planned to connect Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York with a boulevard, and to con- tinue that boulevard from the Lin- coln Temple to the Lee mansion by way of the Arlington Memorial bridge, thence, by way of the Manas- sas battleflelds, into the heart of the south, and thence to the Pacific. Erecting Pacific Milestone. “At San Dlego, 3,000 miles away, this same association is now erecting the Pacific milestone. At San Fran- cisco it will shortly erect the termi- nal milestone; these to be duplicates of the zero stone here, and properly inscribed. On each will be given the latitude, longitude and elevation above the sea. Like monuments are planned for other strategic points throughout the continent. All will be official bench marks of the United States coast and geodetic survey. “It is, therefore, apparent that this ceremony of today is truly significant in connection with the evolution of a national system of highways. In accepting the gift of this zero mile- stone to the nation, I wish to thank the Lee Highway Association for the contribution which it plans to the se- curity, unity, development and wel- fare of our nation. We may fittingly dedicate the zero milestone to its pur- pose, in the hope and trust that it will remain here through the genera- tions and centuries, while the repub- llo endures as the greatest institu- tional blessing that providence has given to any people.” An immense crowd, such as never before congregated In the vicinity of the south front of the White House, viewed the ceremonies, which fitting- 1y marked the arrival of the trans- Washington, and the greatest as- semblage of automobiles in history. Cheers ~ from the immense throng greeted the caravan of machines as It rounded the Ellipse, led by Caravan Director Noble Bernard S. McMahon and escorted by Edgar C. Snyder, chairman of the entertainment com- mittee of the Shrine convention, and Dr. J. T. Prendergast, chairman of the Shrine conclave automobile commit- tee. Ask New Highway Spirit. Strong pleas that the monument proclaim the birth of a new national to enlarge and cxtend the present federal aid program to meet the con- stantly increasing traffic require- ments were made by speakers repre- senting the government and automo- bile organizations. Among them were Thomas H. McDonald, director of the United States bureau of public roads; J. Walter Drake, assistant secretary ot commerce; Dr. 8. M.

They arrived on time.

They never gave an inch of | ground! And that was the farthest | west the enemy ever got! From then on it took fast-moving automobiles to keep them in contact with the re-| treating foe until Old Glory waved | on the bridgeheads of the River| Rhine. It was the motor truck on the roads of France that saved the world. Is the U. & Safe? { “So we asked, ‘Is the United States safe? Suppose there should come a Chateau-Thierry in our homeland, ! could the experience be duplicated? | We resolved to investigate. We sent one Army expedition in 1919 across the continent through the north and another in 1920 through the south We proved that it could be done— but that only in certain favored localities could motor transport be relled on for a dependable itinerary “Congress moved. We had bought lavishly to end the war, motor trucks, automobiles, road machinery | and equipment and explosives. The | cessation of hostilities left this prop- | erty in_the hands of the Secretary of War. Since it was no longer needed | for the purpose, Congress directed the Secretary of War to transfer to the Secretary of Agriculture, gratis, for distribution to the states ‘all sur- plus war property suitable for high- way work. Under this legislation $300,000,000 worth of machinery and equipment bought for the war and that would now be junk on the fields of France had the war lasted six months longer Is today in commis- sion building or caring for the roads of our beloved homeland—and every one of the more than 3,000 counties has benefited by this transfer. “Congress further appropriated vast sums to aid the states in putting this equipment to use and in constructing roads for our use at home, such as we found already built and serving | the needs of Europe. Vast as_these sums were, they were not sufficient to construct our roads in time to serve this present generation. So we, preferring to travel over these high- ways while we are living and while our'eyes can behold the vastness, the richness and the beauty of our coun- try to being borne over them in a hearse, selected a definite point in Washington as the point of beginning and other points which listen to the surf-beat of the Pacific as the points to build to, and we resolved to issue ur call to the nation to help us to Stand for Paved United States. “We have taken our stand for a paved United States. This monument is placed here to mark the beginning of a svstem—but a beginning implies continuance and completion. The use of the automobile is universal, there- fore pavement must be universal. Tntil this is accomplished we will not be living in the spirit of the age in which our lives are cast. “Mr. President, on behalf of Lee Highway Association and through the co-operation of a number of public- spirited citizens, including the chil- dren of the late Senator John H. Bankhead, father of the federal high- way act, ‘and of national organiza- tions, including the American Auto- mobile Association, the National Au- tomobile Chamber of Commerce and the National Highway Association, 1 have the honor to present this monu- ment, to be a standard of linear measurement on the highway rad ating from this place and as the sym- bol of the spirit of this, the motor £e of progress.” Senator Oddie stressed the impor- tance of an adequate system of na- tional highways. “No ‘more urgent demand faces us today than the building and maintaining of an ade- quate system of national highways which we now lack,” he sald. “This year is the 100th anniversary | women responsible for this movement | bevond {of wonderful and subst Harding Dedicates ‘Model Home’ Service at Zero Milestone In Presence of Shrine Potentale (Continued fre i ent to make possible the status of woman- kind.

Birth of National Highways. “Let this ceremony proclaim the| birth of a new national highway spirit. and may this inspire us as a nation fo cnlarge and extend our present federal aid road program to meet our constantly increasing traffic requirements, which the rapid eco- nomic and social development of our country demands. We need addi- Jonal legislation, prov g for fed- eral construction and federal main- tenance of roads on unappropriated government lands and reserves. No more urgent demand faces us today than the. building and main- taining of an adequate system of na- tional highways which we now lack. 1t will enlarge our economic activi ties and prosperity to an extent al most beyond calculation. What finer and more useful monument can men build than good roads—the best evi- | dence of civilization in any age! Let| this new national highway _spirit| reach every corner of our broad land The result will exceed our fondes: hopes.” i America makes its roads serve| more people than any other nation, Mr. Chapin pointed out in his ad- dress. “The highway is now an in- timate part of our life, we uge It and appreciate it as never before,” he said. “Let us all seek to under- stand {ts manifold influences upon our citizenship—mold it for the greatest benefit of all—bulld it for our children's children—beautify it. guide it straight. All Roads to Washington. “Time was when all roads led to Rome,” said Mr. Chapin in opening his address. “The world moves west- ward, civilization follows the same pathway and today we dedicate this visible mark of a new era—when all roads lead to Washington. From this zero milestone will radiate to the homes in America improved high- ways over which will pass daily tens of millilons of our people and a vast proportion of our commerce. “It is appropriate that this marker of the hub of the American highway system should be located at our capi- tal—named for the one who brought this nationalism about. Just north of us stands Gettysburg. From there, running eastward to the Atlanticand westward to the Pacific, is the Lincoln highway —an _everlasting memorial to him who abhorred sec- tionalism and who kept united for posterity this great nation of ours. From here, tying the north and south together, runs the Lee highway. ‘What more fitting than it should be named for that great soldier who ever will hold our respect and ad- miration Dr. Johnson’s Idea. The idea for the zero milestone was originally conceived by Dr. Johnson in a_letter to Col. J. M. Ritchie of the Motor Transport Corps, June 7, 1919, the plan being that it mark the starting point of the motor convoy to the Pacific coast, and that it be dedicated by the President of the United States, The Secretary of War was author- ized by Congress, June 5 1920, to erect a zero milestone, the design to be -ryrovod by the Fine Arts m- mission, and on condition that the government be at no expense, since | attractive | bovhood | cost. the key of the by experts has been installed. i 'Sunday’s advertised events will be VICE PILOT | i | | Following a few remarks lauding the movement, the secretary turned the key over to I resident Harding, who then formally opened d dedicated the domicile.
