C OUT OF CHIHUAHUA. Fifteen Prisoners Pay 70,000 Pesos for Their Freedom. Juarez, July 3.—The 15 foreign and native residents of Chihuahua City who were held in the fcderal prison as hostages for the pavment of a forced loan of 70,000 pesos have been released, passengers arriving from the south today said. This number included three Americans, an Ttalian, two Germans and a British subject. The forced loans were all paid.

SHOULD GET THE NEWS FIRST Criticism of Manner in Which - Gensor Kept Us in Dark Washington, July 3.—Some means must be devised, Secretary of the Navy Danfels declares by which America can be informed as quickly as England and France of the land- ing of American troops in France. Secretary of War Baker refused to make any statement. One military officer asserted that it would be just as well for the gov- ernment to allow the publication of prospective troop movements as to permit a repetition of what actually occurred, _namely, the publication in England and France of the arrival of the first contingents of the American overseas expedition before all the units had arrived, thus making it possible for German submarines to be informed of the approximate lo- cation of transports still on the ‘water. No effort was made to explain the action of the war degartment fin clamping down the cemsorghip upon detalls which already had been pub- lished in London and which were easily accessible to Germany via both Switzerland and Holland. It was the belief of military men here that all the units of the first contingent had been landed in France, but it was im- possible to obtain any reason for the refusal of Secretary Baker to per- mit any publicity concerning the movement. The navy department is understood to be awaiting a statement by the war department before commenting upon {ts successful convoying of the transports and supply ships to France. The navy and war departments were sald to be co-operating perfectly in the movement of troops and supplies to France. It was indicated in a high quarter that there probably would be sur- prise when the number of troops sent to France became known, it being be- lieved that the popular estimate of the size of the expedition is consid- erably less than the actual figures. The war department has not vyet seen fit to make public instructions given to General Pershing. WHAT AND HOW T0 CAN Women of New Britain to Receive In- structions From BExpert at Lectures In School Hall Next Tuesday. Announcement was made today that Mrs. Dean, connected with the exten- sion department of Storrs Agricultural college and with the Hartford County League, will speak next Tuesday at Grammar school hall in the interest of food conservation. Two lectures will be given, the first at 10 a. m. and the second at 2 p. m. Dean will speak on canning ing foods. Her purpose is not to instruct those in attendance how to can cherries, peaches or other fruits that would be preserved under normal conditions but to point out the wisdom of canning.and drying foods that would otherwise be wasted. In addftion to urging her audience to take steps to do this, Mrs. Dean will show them how to do it, which is more to the point. All women inter- ested—and Uncle Sam asks every woman to be interested—are invited. The committee arranging for Mrs. Dean’s visit consists of Mrs. E. W| Christ, chairman; Mrs. H. P. Carter, Mrs. rles F. Chase, Mrs. Ira E. Hicks and Miss Flora Humphrey. CAN'T GET SUPPLIES FOR STATE MILITIA iThose Not in Federal Service Must Go Unprovided Washington, July 8.—Inability to obtain necessary supplies for the Na- tional Guard organizations not in the Federal service is admitted by the Militia Bureau of the War Depart- ment. It is said that the bureau had gone thoroughly into the subject of National' Guard equipment and has made every effort to obtain supplies needed, but without success. All National Guard organizations not yet in Federal service are affected. The militia not Federalized was announced by the War Department on June 10 to be 5,321 officers and | 146,744 men. This total is distributed | over all states, except the following, which have Federalized all their guard: Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Ver- mont and West Virginia. Unfederal- ized New York militia was reported June 10 to number 432 officers and 21 men, The situation is as follows: The stock on hand of supplies and equip- ment of all kinds is exhausted. De- liveries being made by contractors are required to meet demands from or- manizations of the regular army and National Guard in Federal service. No rurther isswes or sules of Federal property can he made for the use of the Nutional Guard not in Federal service. All requisitions now in the War Department are being returned. No more requisitions for issue or sale need be forwarded. All efforte to obtain supplies prior to date of draft will be of no avall, it H is stated. ! his machine fell out lnclrce]y keep pace.

Captain B. C. Hucks, of the Royal Flying corps, in an address | on “Modern Airmanship” which he recently delivered before the Aero- nautical society. Describing ex- perience of his own he said his air- plane “tumbled about” in the cloud and that he emerged from it flying upside down. Captain Hucks was em- phasizing the need of an instrument that would show an airman in the clouds whether he was flying horizon- tally. He said: “I set out on a very cloudy, windy day to do a test climb to 10,000 feet on a late type two-seater. On reach- ing 1,200 feet we got into a dense rain cloud but carried on beyond 5,000 feet, still in the cloud, when the compass apparently began to swing although actually it is the machine that begins to swing, not the com- pass. Efforts to check the compass had the effect of causing it to swing more violently in the other direction. The air speed then rushed up far be- vond normal flying speed. All efforts to pull her up checked her only slight- ly. Then the rudder was tried. Back went the air speed to zero. There was an unusual uncanny feeling of being detached from the machine and T knew her to be literally tumbling about in the clouds. All efforts to set- tle down again to raight flying seemed to be until we emerged from the cloud very nearly upside down. “A few days ago a squadron com- mander told me that on one occasion when in France everything loose in while in a cloud. A week or so ago on the south coast, a machine disintegrated itself in a cloud and the main planes landed half a mile from the fuselage. In a cloud you can see nothing whatever but your machine. point visible. “The only means by which you can tell if you are flying in a course is by your air speed. vou your direction horizontally, air speed your direction vertical Compass Warns too late. /' “Before your starts an compass to move your machine has already start- ' ed to turn. You rudder way to check it, over-correct it, and turn sharp the other way on a bank turn; then the nose drops and speed goes up. Pulllng back your lever has little or no effect, for if you are hanked above an angle of 45 de- grees the elevator becomes the rudder. All this occurs without the pilot be- ing in the least aware of the position the opposite his machine is taking relative to the ; ground.” Captain Hucks id the rate of im- provement in aircraft was so alarm- ingly rapid that manufacturers could Comparing - the his compass to depend upon were There is no fixed | straight ! compass and your | The compass should give ! your elevator | force a universal military service law, every Brazilian between the . ages of twenty-one and forty-five being af- fected. The terms of service under { this law require two years in the ranks, followed: by seven years in the army reserve, seven years in the ter- ritorial army and eight years in the national guard. Of the South American republics only the three A B C powers have navies of appreciable strength. The personal, officers and men, of Brazil is equal to the combined strength of Chile and Argentina. The pride of the Brazilian navy is her two modern dreadnaughts, Minas Beraes and Sao Paulo of 19,000 tons displacement and with an armament of twelve twelve-inch guns each. The battleships and two protected criusers comprise the remainder of Brazil's major fighting ships, supplemented by five torpedo gunboats, ten Yarrow de- average performances of five different types of machines used at the begin- ning of the war with others of late patterns he said that maximum speed for level flying had nearly doubled. Airmanship had, advanced more than it would have done in eight or ten years of peace conditions and the | advance seemed to have been along | what might be called conventional lines—that is, improvement on stan- dard designs, and no good results had been obtained from ar departure from that standard. To his mind im- provements in engines were respon- sible for present-day performances to a far greater extent than improve- ment in machines. Ho said the most ment in the modern machine is its { capacity for climbing. At the hegin- ning of the war, he said, the average height flown on active service 4,000 to 5,000 feet. Today a of 20,000 feet is reached and if prog- ress continues heights a great deal he- vond this figure will be reached as a { usual thing.

In 1914 Brazil had building in Eng- gland a 27,500 ton battleship, the Rio de Janeiro, which was completed be- fore the outbreak of the war. Brazil sold the ship to Turkey, which coun- try renamed her Sultan Osman 1. Great Britain, however, would not let her go to Turkey, but took her over and. named her Agincourt. Brazil is the third largest republic in the world, for in cxtent of territory the South American nation is exceed- ed only by Russia and the United States.
