AIR MAIL PICK-UP TEST DELAYED FOR WEEKS Device Cannot Be Completed for Month, Says Inventor at New York. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 29.—L. 8. Adams of San Francisco, inventor of & mail pick-up device for airplanes, said today that tests for the Post Office Depart- ment would not be begun for nearly two months. The Post nounced in Washington Saturday that it would make the tests this week on the Pittsburgh-Cleveland air mail route and if they were successful the device would be approved for installation on air mall routes throughout the country. Adams said that it had been hoped to hold the tests this week, but that de- lays in assembling the machinery—the pick-up device is about 30 feet long— necessitated postponement. He said as- sembly would be completed in about a month and that sometime during the next month the tests would be made. ‘The first uat‘:l are to be made at ©Ohlo, Office Department an- Youngstown, and the next at | Pittsburgh. | Forest Seryice records show thatjourney, he was recognized by the pass- | there is morgs lightning in Florida and .

Writer's “Wonderful Book Commandant Bugnet, aide-de-camp to late Marshal Foch from June, 1921. the generalissimo's death, gives in his book “Foch Talks’ intimate and re- vealing conversations with the man who commanded the allied forces in the World War. Marshal Foch knew and approved of Commandant Bugnet's work of reveal- ing the real Poch. but asked that the book be withheld from publication until his death in order to escape possible criticlsm that it was inspired. This is the second of a_series of articles written exclusively for The Star and allled papers of the North American Newspaper Al- lance. incorporating the most importaat parts of “Foch Talks.” BY COMMANDANT BUGNET. (Written Exclusively for The Star and North American Newspaper Alliance. At Bombon, in his office, the marshal used to stride up and down the room smoking his pipe. Every day I made the journey with the marshal from the office to the Rue de Grenelle at least once, often twice. A few hundred yards, a few minutes’ walk. | It was the best moment of the day.

And of his own notion, after a certain time, he would begin to think | loud.~ He continued his inward debate and gave a shape to his musings. Some- | times, if the person or the event I was trying to discuss was displeasing to him, he did not reply or did so with a grum- ble. Then, to break a heavy silence, I had to find another subject. It was not always easy. I knew already only too well those subjects which were taboo— | novels, for instance. Of these he once | st | “I have never read much.

It would be better for us to apply our resources to our new needs. * * * Let us beware of hecoming Carthaginians like the English, who are developing into the merchants of the world.* * * But let us also take care not to become Athenians.” Praises Cardinal Mercier. On the other hand, speaking of | Cardinal Mercier, the marshal sald: “He was a great man. He soared above us all, but he was no dreamer, he was a man of action.” The marshal's phrases were brief and compressed, his speech abrupt, at the risk of ignoring grammatical con- struction. Their theme passed from one personality to another without any indication; but the meaning was clear. ‘The word “they” was continually breaking in, to represent people h> did not wish to name, though he wished to discuss them! ¢ Though his speech was rapid, his thought wes even more so * * * it was often hardly given full expression.

Mourns “Poor Little Clerk.” Every day, just outside the deor of the military governor of Paris, the most conscientious and punctual of our regu- lar “clients” would bow to the marshal as he went swiftly along by the wall. He was a poor little old government clerk, whose features recalled those of M. Bergson and whose expression, at the moment of our daily salutation, lighted up with a spark of intelligence. As soon as we had passed the point al mu: mured: “We are early tod: or else “Hurry up, it must be late!” Unhappy he later had to remark: “Well now! we no longer see our littie old man!™ Reaching the end of the boulevard, he bore to the right. Faced by the open space of the esplanade, where motor cars were rushing from several different directions, he paused on the edge of the pavement, waiting for a favorable moment, and then dashed across often at a run. If a vehicle cut in unexpect- edly, I warned him: “Look out on your left!” and every time I thought invol- untarily of the cry of Philip the bold fighting beside King John: “Father! Guard your right! Father! Guard your left!” ‘The marshal himself was rather fond of those daily walks. He was not one of those dreamers who sought solitude to retire into themselves. On the con- trary, he was open-hearted and always most animate. He had always, indeed, pursued the practice of holding conver- sations during walks, whether for dis- cussions with his pupils at the staff col- lege—“I put them at their ease, en- courage them to talk, draw them out. And then I know them.” During these moments of relaxation and intimacy he entirely threw off all reserve, with no attempt to secure an effect or maintain a pose, whether he was recalling his memories or whether —his mind haunted by an idea—he was elaborating it, maturing it, discussing, expounding, trying to give it a better expression. And what an excellent method of reasoning and judgment! In a word, his conversation was a series of con- crete cases, which he put, one after the other, and analyzed, now by de- scribing them, now by striving to solve them—whether a problem of politics, or a question of history, finance or morality, a decision to reach, an opin- fon to express. ‘To every specific problem he gave a specific solution—"No stereotyped so- lutions!

The federal commander at La Paz. Lower California, reported to Chapul- tepec he had intercepted a wireless message from Hermosillo, capital of ESonora, that rebel troops there were evacuating the city and fleeing north- ward. Federal planes bombed and fired upon the railroad station with their machine guns Saturday. ESCOBAR'S WHEREABOUTS SECRET. Rebel Commander-in-Chief Leaves No- gales Headquarters Hurrledly. NOGALES, Ariz, April 29 (#).—The sudden departure of Gen. J. Gonzalo Escobar, commander-in-chief of the Mexican insurgents from his Nogales, Sonora, headquarters, was looked upon here today as a sign that the end of the revolution was near. Escobar left hurriedly last night. Gen. Francisco Borquez, rebel spokesman, de- clared Escobar had gone to lead rebel troops against the Federals advancing through Pulpito and Carretas passes on the Sonora-Chihuahua border. Rumors were current, however, that he deter- mined to take an airplane at Cananea and fly either to El Paso, Tex., or Doug- las, Ariz., to surrender to United States immigration officials. With Gen. Fausto Topete reported at Hermosillo, all the rebel generals in Sonora apparently were in position to head for the American border on short notice in case Escobar should declare the revolt ended. Gen. Manuel Aguirre was reported to be the farthest from the border, somewhere in Southern Sonora. Mayo and Yaqui Indians Jed by the rebel Gen. Marcelo Caraveo were reported to be guarding Pulpito Pass, while an Indian revolutionary force led by Gen. Ramon Yucupiclo was said to be ad- vancing Fast to Carretas Pass. Federal planes dropped bombs on the outskirts of Nogales, Sonora, yesterday with little effect except, perhaps upon the morale of rebel soldiers. Reports reached here that four Sonora ranchers, charged with burning a bridge 19 kilometers south of Nogales, had been executed by rebels. ALMAZAN REPORTS VICTORY. Federal Leader Routs Rebels at Pulpito Pass Consul Hears. EL PASO, Tex., April 29 (#)—El Continental, Spanish language news- paper here, said Enrique Liekens, Mexi- can consul general here, received a ra- dlo message from Gen. Juan A. Almazan, federal commander, that his forces had rounted the rebels at Pulpito Pass and started a drive against Agua Prieta, Sonora, rebel stronghold. The federal forces crossed the pass after the rebels had been bombarded from the air, the message said, accord- ing to the newspaper. PACT BILLS APPROVED. Council of Ministers Decides on Italo-Vatican Measures. ROME, April 29 (#).—The council of ministers today approved four bills which will be presented to Parliament concerning the recent Italo-Vatican | concordat. The first has to do with the execu- tion of all the treaties signed at the Lateran Palace on February 11; the sec- ond covers the exercice of various cults within the state; the third has to do with ecclesiastical bodies and the eivil administration of properties destined for a cult, and the fourth deals with 2ll the rules of the new system of mar- riage whereby a ceremony performed by a priest has the legal status hitherto reserved to the civil ceremony.
