REGRUITING ARMY | OF AIRMEN IN EAST Aviation Gorps Is Seeking 25,000 Students Here Boston, Aug. ‘A quarter million students and graduates will be ap- pealed to, to supply America’s avia- tion army of 25,000 or possibly 75,000 men. This question was put to an Aeronautical Officer at the Headquar- ters of the Northeastern Department: “Is the Signal Corps ot the War De- partment depending upon New Eng- land to give impetus to the securing or supplying the greater part of its aviators or observation balloon pi- lots 2" The Official replied that New Eng- land would certainly do its part to- ward raising the great army of air- men. A personal appeal will go out through various channels to a quarter million of graduates of New England Usyiversities, College: and High Schools, covering a period of eleven years: i. e, those who graduated in the years 1909 to 1917 inclusive, and who are now scattered in all parts of the United States, urging them to ap- ply for an Officers’ commission in the Aviation Section of the Signal Offi- cers’ Reserve Corps, which will be that of First Lieutenant. The base pay of a lieutenant is $2,000 annually artd applications -will be considered from college and high school men or even others possessing exceptional qualifications. The cémmission will be issued as soon as the student grad- uates as a balloon pilot or aviator. They will be instructed at the selected colleges and unversities, and training camps in the United States. The in- styuctions are given under most fa- vorable conditions and include mili- tary training. While. under instruc- tion, a soldier’s pay, rations, lodging, are allowed; also transportation to the assigned place of schooling. Gradua- tion follows in about five or six months, and those failing to graduate will find themselves in the aviation service as a first-class private, or non- commissioned officer, in which capa- ciwy, they will be useful as ground men and in various other ways. To become an officer in the service, with- out passing a long term of instruction at West Point or Annapolis is a great inducement to young men to enter through the opportunity offered by the | Signal Corps. The Official continued: The Ameri- can Army and Navy is one vast or- ganization moving in the same direc- tion with only a single purpose in view, riding on a great train to a victorious goal. In the cab of the locomotive, ride the aviators; in the Pullman cars, observation end, the balloon pilots; and scattered through- out the train, the remainder of this great company of men. The roadbed and rails over which they are riding is autocracy; the destination they will surely reach is democracy. All Aboard! Jump on, Boys, before you are called under the draft, and have the honor of being a volunteer officer in the U. S. Army Reserve Corps. Do your part to bring about a world-wise democ- racy. 2 Air Service in War. Time has fully demonstrated the value of the air service in war, and experts say that,many of the great decisive and efféctive battles of the future will be fought in the air. This appears to be confirmed by the great activity of the Signal corps and the passing unanimously by the house and ‘senate and the signing by the president without delay of the bill ap- propriating six hundred and forty million dollars for aeronautics. 25,000 Men Required. It has been said that the United States would require, to do its bit in the war, 25,000 masters of aeronau- tical apparatus,—that is, men capable of flying the airplane and hydroplane, and directing the movements of the “kite” or observation balloon, known as aviators or balloon pilots. Aviators and Balloon Pilots. The work of the aviator is well known and the marvelous results of these’ air-speeders; the work accom- plished by them as the eyes of the army is published from time to time in the dispatches from abroad. The fastest machines attain a speed of: 140 miles per hour. The observers in them locate the position of enemy’s armies and guns, and protect cities and towns from attack, although at times the enemy flyers get by the watchfulness of the allied air fleet with disastrous results to humanity and property. All aviators and balloon pilots be- come officers in the aviation section of the Signal Officers’ Reserve corps of the Army immediately upon grad- uating, being commissioned as first lfeutenants with a base salary of $2,000 annually and additional com- pensation’ when in active service at home and abroad. The usefulness of the “kite” or sta- tionary balloon is not generally known. One familiar with its em- ployment says that at the balloon schools, an applicant for officer’s commission must first qualify as a pilot of sphehrical balloons. Then they are taught to become pilots and observers in the “kite” balloons, This baloon is allowed to ascend to & height of about 3000 feet with a wire cable attached to it by which it Is drawn down when desired by motor power. In war, these balloons are located from three to five miles from the first line of trenches, and from the basket two men, a pilot and an oh- server, give the range and result of liringy by telephone to the artillery. On the western front they are placed from one-half to a mile apart, pccording to conditions, and are pro. ded with parachutes attached to the n in the basket; in event of acci- ¢ August 23, NEW.

Men who have not been called for physical examination under the draft, and who have had a college education may make application for a commis- sion as first lieutenant in the Avia- tion Section of the Signal Officers’ Re- serve corps as aviators or balloon pilots, provided they are not under 19 or over 30 years of age. While col- lege men are preferred, applications from these who have graduated from high school and have exceptionally good qualifications will be considered. If the application is approved, the ap- plicant will be notified to appear be- fore a medical board for examination, It this is satisfactory, he is assigned to schools for training. While at the schools soldiers’ pay, rations, and sleeping accommodations are allowed, the oficers’ pay follow- ing graduation and assignment to duty as first lHeutenant. Men having a trade who cannot fill the qualifications required for avia- tion or balloon pilots, can enter the aviation service by enlistment. Commis- FERGUSON OVERDREW ACCOUNT At One Time Was $30,000 Short in Bank. Austin, Texas, Aug. 7.—Deposits of state funds in the Temple State bank, of which Governor Ferguson former- ly was president, and in which he is a large stockholder, yesterday occu- pied the attention of the house ot representatives, sitting as a committee of the whole to investigate charges looking to the impeachment of the chief executive. Henry Blum, assis- tant cashier of state, and the bank- ing commissioner deposited large sums in the Temple institution at one time several hundred thousand dollars of state funds being on de- posit there. Blum proved & reticent witness. When asked about the payment, on 1916, of $5,000 from the account of Mr. Ferguson, as gover- nor, he could remember nothing of it except that there had been an error discovered in the balances. The governor is charged by indictment with embezzling $5,000 on August 23, 1916. W. A. Hanger, counsel for the gov- ernor, asked Blum if the governor in addition to the goyernor’s account did not also have a special account and a private account. Blum replied af- firmatively. “I'll ask you,” said Mr. Hanger, af- ter suggesting that probably the loan had been charged to the ‘governor's fund by error’ to say what amount the governor had on deposit in his special account on Aug. 23, 1916.” “Forty dollars and thirty-two cents" replied Blum, without hesitation. Counsel for the house developed that the governor was overdrawn $30,641.32 in his private account on that date. “Did the Temple State bank ever carry any state accounts before Mr. Ferguson became governor?” the wit- ness was asked. 0,” he said. “Was the governor charged any in- terest on his $30,000 overdraft?"” ‘“He was—10 per cent.”” the wit- ness replied. NEGRO EDUCATOR DEAD. Frissell Was Principal of Hamp- ton Institute. ‘Whitefield, N. H., Aug. 7.—Rev. Dr. Hollis Burke Frissell, principal of the Hampton Normal and Agricul- tural Institute at Hampton, Va., died suddenly of heart failure in his sum- mer home here last night. He was 66 years old; his wife was at his bedside. Dr. Frissell was one of the fore- most educators of negroes and In- dians in the United States. Born in Amenia, N. Y., he was graduated from Yale in 1874 and from the Union Theological Seminary in New York city, in 1880, became chaplain of Hampton Institute in that year and thirteen years later, was made prin- cipal of the institute. He gave all his time and energy to building up the school and to the betterment and education of the ne- gro and Indian races. He was an or- ganizer and member of the Southern Edugstion board, a member of the General Education board and was ac- tively interested in the management of various negro schools in the south. Yale, Harvard and other institu- tions of learning bestowed honorary degrees on Dr. Frissell. He delivered a eulogy of the late Booker T. Wash- ington in Carnegie hall, New York, in February, 1916. Dr. Frissell was a viember of the Century, City, Yale And Barnard clubs, New York. His son, Sidney, entered the United States army recently. Dr. TEACHER SHOOTS MAN. Accidentally Discharges Gun at Pub- lic Seaside Gallery. New York, Aug. 7.—Miss Sadle Murtha, 24, a teacher, of 840 Com- munipay avenue, Jersey City, acci- dentally discharged a rifie in a shoot- ing gallery at Remsen and Ocean ave~ nues, Seaside, Queens, yesterday, killin; rrederick Lingner, 24, an at- tendan’ The bullet severed an ar- tery in his neck and he bled to deatn shortly after his arrival at the Rock- away Beach hospital. Miss Murtha has been living with Misses Alice and Mary Rothford in a bungalow at 10 Henry street, Rock- away Beach. They decided to test their markmanship yesterday and Lingner stood facing the loaded rifles, talking to the young women. He stopped to pick something from the floor. As he stooped, Miss Murtha's hand strayed, she says, unconsciously over the rifles on the counter. There was a sharp report and Lingner fell with a wound in his neck. Miss Murtha then rushed to the wounded man and attempted to stop the flow of blood with her handkerchief. She will be examined in the Jamaica court Aug. 10 on a technical charge of homicide. 1917. FOR" STATE MILLS Stafford Springs Concern Given Order for $284,000 in Goods (Special to the Herald). Washington, Aug. 7.—The navy de- partment has awarded a contract for 30-ounce woolen cloth of class 3 for uniforms for men of the navy to Cyril Johnson Woolen Co., Stafford Springs, Conn. The quantity of 40.000 yards and the price $5.85 per yard, making a total of $234,000. While Senator Kenyon of Iowa was belaboring the river and harbor bill during the debate in the senate the other day Senator McLean of Con- necticut interrupted to-ask a few questions about certain Connecticut items in the bill. Senator Kenyon showed that without the new bill there were balances availahle for cer- tain projects on July 1 last as fol- lows: New London harbor $25,400, Connecticut River above Hartford $2,500, Duck Island harbor of refuge $15,000, and so on. The following occurred: Mr. McLean. Referring to page 4 of this bill, where I see there is ‘an appropriation of $71,000 for some seven or eight different harbors along the Connecticut coast or in the Sound, does the senator know how’ that money is to be allotted where these appropriations are bunched and in- clude a dozen different projects Mr. Kenyon. I will say to the sen- ator that it was explained to us yes- terday that that is in the interest of economy, and, of course, being in the interest of economy no one will ques- tion it. The bill is drawn in the in- terest of economy, of course, but the engineer has the right to spend that money as he pleases. Mr. McLean. If the first project necessitates the expenditure of the whole fund, then the other projects get nothing. Is that the idea? Mr. Kenvon. Of course. I call the senator’s attention to one section of the bill providing just how that may be done. Mr. McLean. Very well. I will not interrupt the senator further; but it seems to me that is a very strange way to leave the matter, because it is entirély within tke discretion of the engineer in charge, I suppose, to ap- propriate all the money to a single project. Mr. Kenyon. I am sgoing to read the senator section 2, page 31: Section 2. Where separate works or items are consolidated herein and an aggregate amount is appropfiated therefor, the amount so appropriated shall, unless otherwise expressed, be expended in securing the maintenance and improvement according to the respeéctive projects adopted by con- gress after giving due regard to the respective needs of trafic. The allot- ments to the respective works so-con- solidated shall be made by the chief of engineers as authorized by the secretary of war. In case such works or items are consolidated and sep- arate amounts are given to individual projects, the amounts so named shall be expended upon such separate proj- ects unless, in the discretion of the chief of engineers and the scretary of war, another allotment or division should be made of the same. Any balances remaining to the credit of the respective aggregate amounts ap- propriated for the consolidated items. So that the secretary of war, act- ing through the chief of engineers. has the right to do anything he pleases, as I understand, with that fund. Mr. McLean. But, if T remember correctly, the senator. in reading the balance of the appropriation for Duck Island, said that it was originally something like $60,000, and that there is now remaining something like $6,000. My impression is that the whole appropriation for those seven or eight harbors would not be any more than sufficlent to take care of Duck Island, though I'am not sure about that. Mr. Kenyon. to that, either. Mr, McLean. But evidently the plan of the bill js one that will prob- ably assist in its passage by leaving these separate contracts to the dis- cretion of some officer and appro- priating a sum of money sufficient perhaps for one. Mr. Kenyon. I hope the senator will not suggest such a thing as that thig bill is in any way drawn so as to assist its passage. This is a purely patriotic bill, presented here as a war-emergency measure. Without it the war may fail. I am not informed as GASPARRI TO RESIGN. Papal Secretary of Statea Had Been Considered for Pope. Rome, Aug. 7.—The Messagero an- nounces the probable resignation of Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary of state. The decision is said to be due in part to the Cardinal’s poor health and partly to the desire of Pope Ben- edict to exercise more direct personal control over the Vatican's policies. Cardinal Scapinelli, former papal nuncio to Vienna, probably will be his successor, says the paper. After the death of Pope Pius X. Cardinal Pietro Gasparri and Card- inal Maffl were considered the lead- ing candidates for the pontificate. Cardinal Gasparri for vears has been one of the most eminent members of the Sacred College, of which he is the most experienced member. He is especialy well known as an expert in canon law. Cardinal Gasparri is strongly pro- French in his sentiments and has been untiring in his efforts to effect a reconciliation between France and the Vatican. For eleven years he was a professor of the Catholic University of Paris. The Cardinal has been papal secre- tary since October 13, 1914, having been appointed shortly after the ar- cession of Benedict. Inauguration of a $1,000.000 adver- tising campaign against the liquor traffic in the ‘“‘wet” states was an- nounced by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ. In America. whose general secretary is the Rev. Dr. Charles S. MacFarland (No. 4 in the pictures). It will be known as the “Strengthen America” campaign, and the purpose is to prove in the UNIFI]RM CONTRACT | CHURCHMEN ALLIED WITH LEGISLATORS TO GIVE LIQUOR advertising columns of newspapers that strong drink must go. The Rev. Charles Stelzle (No. the pictures) is the campaign man- | ager. He said that because of the| recent action of the United States sen- ate in passing a national prohibition | amendment to the constitution (which | must be assed by the house of rep- resentatives by a two-thirds vote and then ratified by three-fourths of the states) ft had been decided to make 3 in | A KNOCKOUT BLOW - known the plans of the council earller than had been intended. Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas (No. 5 in the pictures) is the author of the amendment, which was strongly sup- ported by Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington (No. 1.) Senator William J. Stone of Mis- souri (No. 2) was one of the strongest objectors to the prohibition amend- ment. PRESSES CHARGE OF ROCKAWAY FRAUD Gov. wmtman Asked to Take| Hand in Investigation ‘New York, Aug. 7.—Having failed to get action from Mayor Mitchel, District Attorney Swan or other local officlals on his charges of fraud in connection with the purchase of Rockaway park by the city in 1913, ‘William Bulloek, director of the bu- reau of city inquiry, yesterday ap- pealed to Governor Whitman to make a complete investigation of the trans- action. William H. Reynolds who is named by Mr. Bullock as the chief bene- ficiary in land sales to the city dur- ing the administration of Mayor Mitchel, is in the west and is not yet aware that Mr. Bullock on Sunday charged him with swearing he had no interest in a transaction in which he was to share $240,000 with two associates. The basis of the charge is that in 1908, Mr. Reynolds entered into a contract with Frank Bailey, president of the Neponsit Realty com- pany, under which Mr. Reynolds, the late Senator Patrick H. McCarren and Willlam S. Hurley, turned over their Joint interest in the land subsequently acquired by the city, in return for which the Neponsit company agreed to pay Mr. Reynolds and hls asso- ciates $240,107 when it had sold the land to the city, and that with the contract in existence Mr. Reynolds, in 1912, swore before a condemnation that he had no interest whatever in the land. When Mayor Mitchel was asked to respond to a charge by Mr. Bullock that he gave Mr. Reynolds a clean bill of health In the Rockaway Park transaction, althcugh the contracts ‘were in existence at the time, he made a grimace of apparent disgust and said: “I shall not discuss anything that Mr. Bullock says about anything or anybody.” “Dreaming,” Says Mr. Bailey. Mr. Bailey, who is vice president of the Title Guarantee and Trust com- pany and who also was named by Mr. Bullock as being interested in the two so-called secret contracts” under which Mr. Reynolds and his asso- clates were to profit by the sale of Rockaway Park to the city, sald Mr. Bullock was dreaming and had his facts badly twisted. “It is perfectly true that the con- tract made public by Mr. Bullock was entered into by Mr. Reynolds, Mr. McCarren, Mr. Hurley and my- self,” said Mr. Bailey. It is also true that Mr. Reynolds sold his in- terest in the contract, as did the | others, long before the court pro- ceedings in which Mr. Reynolds swore | { that he had no interest or ownership in the Rockaway land. The contract | which Mr. Bullock makes so much of | is a matter of public record and was | published during the adjustment of the McCarren estate. Every man who | owned an interest in the contract lost money and sold out his interest at a | sacrifice, losing not only more than fifty per cent. of the original.invest- mént, but also the interest. The| Neponsit Réalty company, which sold | the land to the city, also has lost money on the deal, as it has not yet received the interest due on the pur- chase price or all of the purchase price. ‘“Considering these hugh profits we are supposed to have made as a result of the transaction, I am perfectly will- ing now to sell my interest in the matter for $50,000, which is about sixty per cent. of the original invest- | ment for a quarter of the contract. “Left Handed” Favors. “And, furthermore, I want to say this. If we got a few more favors | iike the Rockaway park one from Mr. | Mitchel we would all be ‘busted’ xn, a very short time. And, speaking of | Mr. Mitchel's connection with the| matter, I don’t believe Mr. Reynolds even knew him at the time the pur- | chase was made. Mr. Reynolds is not connected with the Neponsit Realty company, and to the best of | my knowledge has had nothing to do | with the Realty assoclation since | 1901. Mr. Bullock did not change front a | bit when told what Mr. Balley had said, but declared his charges and the contracts made public by him spoke for themselves. He then added:— “The Rockaway Park purchase, for | which Mayor Mitchel was primarily responsible, is stained with graft and corruption. A city official, whose work had to do with the financial transactions between the city and the Neponsit Realty company admitted to me that he himself and a co-work- er had recelved bribes in connection with the deal. The name -of the bribe giver also was revealed. This | confession was made after I.had con- fronted this man with a copy of the fraudulent affidavit sworn to by him and on file in the office of the secre- tary of state at Albany. The false affidavit was made in connection with the park lands bought by the Nepon- sit company from the state for $200 an acre and later sold to the city at $5,082 an acre, “Regarding these and other facts I am prepared to testify, and have been | ready to bear witness since February { 17 last, when I transmitted my first | report on the Rockaway Park deal— | with the charge that it showed con- spiracy to defraud both the state and | the citv—to the governor and the | district attorneys of New York, Kings and Queens counties.” Mr. Bullock : | sented his | | said he had supporting tne | charge against Mr. Reynolds to Dis- trict-Attorney Swann, but that so far wothing had been done about it In his letter to Governor Whitman pre- vesterday Mr. Bullock enclosed coples of the two alleged secret contracts in which Mr. Reynolds and the Neponsit Realty Company play the part of prin- cipals, and also a copy of the testi- FRENCH GITIZENS MODELS OF COURAGH Their Bravery and Confidence Has Helped Keep Army Going Paris, Aug. 7.—Louis J. Malvy| { French minister of interior, has re plied to the request of the Associaf for a statement outlining on the end of the third year p the world war. Thé minister began by emphasizing the fact, which he said sometimes had not been sufficiently Tealized, that it was the “unanimo and concerted effort of every citize which allows our regiments to keeq crushing the barbarous assaults on thd moving frontier of trenches.” Mr. Malvy ended with words tg which added weight were given by h three vears at the ministry of interio: where, under France's highly central ized administration, he has been in th closest touch with the whole country, being the only minister who has held the same office throughout the Wi under the successive premiers. Th i said: length of the war and thd enemy’s inauguration of submarin placed us last winter face tg ith fresh difficulties, but econ omically, as in every other way France has inflexibly and imperturb; ably confronted each, and has alread: begun to conquer. She has poured forth her blood too freely to begrudgd her gold or endurance. With firm en: durance she is accepting a regime off restrictions.. After some inevitabld tentative efforts she will regulate be: tween now and the beginning of win. ter the food supply and heating. “No less firmly has the world of work applied the only possible remed:; to the increased cost of living, namely, a proportionate increase in waget The strikes which were witnessed la: spring have evolved in a perfect cal They constitute nothing more than one of those phenomena of compensato: movements whereby our social bod: seeks to adapt itself to new condition: They were less numerous in Fran than in any other country. They arase in calm and ended in a closer, mo trusting unity between the employe and employed. “By the end of the three years] France has endured every affliction, suffering and glory. Without vio=| lence or shock, but not at times with= out discussion (for discussion is the very essence of liberty and a demo- cratic regime) she has maintained| within her land order and discipline—| accepted, not forced, discipline—and| she will conquer. She is as united as| she was on August 2, 1914. Better still, she is unanimous—that is, she forms but one soul for work as foF| combat. “The country, then, is ready to en= ter upon the fourth winter of the war in the best conditions of physical and moral health. It knows that, thanks to American aid next spring,’ it will apply at once all its endurance and every sacrifice.” “Every time we have exacted in= creased work or devotion it has been sufficient to explain our reasons, for the French citizen is like the French soldier, who is willing to die if ne- mony given by Mr. Reynolds before a condemnation commission in 1912 in which he swore that he' had no in- terest in the land the city was then negatiating to purchase for a seaside park. He thenesays: “I beg to submit that the report now transmitted calls for publjc investiga- tion and grand jury proceedings, put- ting an end to inaction by duly elected public officials in land scandals in- volving present officers of the govern- ment of the city of New York and cer- tain private individuals of wealth and political influence.” GOULD CLAIMS EXEMPTION. Kingdon Passes Physical Examina- tion in New Jersey. Toms River, N. J., Aug. 7.—Unless he can prove to the local draft ex- emption board that his wife, whom he married a few weeks ago, is really dependent upon him for support, | Kingdon Gould of Lakewood will have to do his bit toward filling up the ranks in Uncle Sam’s big consecript army. Gould was called before amining board in the court house yesterday afternoon, his registration number having be2n among the first | pulled from ths great globe of cap- suled numbers at Washington. Drs. Thomas Buchanan and John Lane, the examiniag physicians, made a very careful examination of Gould and pronounced him in excellent phy- sical health, the ideal soldier. To those who witnessad the examination it seemed that the test was, if any- thing, a little more complete than that put to others cited for examina- tion. After is was found he had passed the physical requirements for the army Gould served notice that he would fille a claim of exemption on the ground of dependencies. After he had appeared Gould re- turned to Lakewood by motor. the ex- NO WASTE AMONG POOR. Boston, Aug. 7.—An investigation made by the Constructive District Nursing association into war time food and health conditions among the poor in this city shows that there is little wastefulness, practically no conserva- tion and much under-nourtshment. The association’s nurse came into touch with 75,000 people. The few backyard gardens were found ta be a real help. Ignorance of food values and of hygiene and sanitation were shown to be the cause of much suffer- ing. The high cost of food resulted in much improper feeding. EDENBURGH TO HONOR PAGE. London, Aug, 7.—A movefent is on faot according to the London Times to offer the frecedom of the city of Edinburgh to Walter Hines Page, the American ambassador to the court of St James. Buy an Indiana truck.—advt. cessary, as the civilian is willing to suffer, but each demands to under- stand why. “Never was my mission easier than in the first months of the war, when, at the government's appeal, every party and class difference disappeared. Even our ‘extremists’ answering to a confidence which it was an honor to me to offer them, rushed to the: frontier to fight. The public then imagined the war would be short and that the battles would be gigantic but, decisive. France of the interior then thought its only duty would be ‘to efface itself before armed France.” The minister then traced the changes through which civilian France had passed. First came work for the wounded and other war char- ities, but as the war continued it had to work to live, and the aged and the women and children worked the land. Then came the urgent need of a supply of munitions and heavy artillery, but never, Mr. Malvy said, . had France of the interfor failed France of the front. MUST SAVE OLD RAGS. New York, Aug. 7.—Modification fn the specifications of the cloth used by the United States in uniforms, overcoats and blankets for the new army means that the country must conserve its rags to help the shoddy manufacturers in supplying the great quantities of goods needed. This an- nouncement was made today by Sam- uel Kaplan, a representative of ths Council of National Defense, who is presiding at a conference here of the wholesale rag. gatherers and shoddy manufacturers. TUntil recent- ly the army's specifications were drawn in such a way as to shut out the use of shoddy. The war depart- ment’s action is said tg have caught the shoddy manufacturers unpre- pared in the matter of stocks. CHILD’S DEATH ACCIDENTAL. New Haven, Aug. 7.—No criminal responsibility is found by Deputy Coroner Kenneth Wynne in connec- tion. with the death of Elizabeth Dineen, five years old, who was killed here on July 31 by an automobile driven by Charles Eisenhart as she ran from behind an ice wazon.
