Of this, $160,000,000 gees to the mutilated, the widows and to a certain proportion of the front-line: veterans of the World ‘War who have passed 50. There were 8,000,000 men mobilized in Prance during the war. Few escaped injury in some form. There were, to begin with, 1,500,000 killed. Mcre than a million are on the pension list, receiv- ing regular payments, often not much, for wounds or incapacity in some form Outside the damage by bullets and shells, the worst and most lasting was by gas. There are on the pension list more than 300,000 whose health was permanently impeired by gas, and if all who were harmed by it were on the list the number would double. If o1l the front victims were on the | pension list, in fact, the number still | receiving pensions would exceed 2,000.- | 000. There are also 630,000 widows on th> pension list of the Wcrld War alone The highest pension paid in Prance is sbeut $1,400 a year. Few receive it, as both eyes.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, August 22.—Willy Rody and Christian Johanssen, German airmen, hopped off from Templehof Airdrome this morning for Lisbon on a flight which may carry them across the At- lantic to the United States.

Superstitious about announcing their attempt or beug photographed before the start, the flyers surrounded their preparations with secrecy as far as pos- sible and took off without even notify- ing airport police. The latter said the machine suddenly appeared on the field and, much to their surprise, took to the air in a southerly direction.
