LIGHTS AT THE FIELD CLUB Captain R. E. McMillen of the aeroplane corps of the Nebraska Na- tional Guard, yesterday made an historical aerial trip from Lincoln to Omaha in his aeroplane, the U-2. The flight, which was the first of its kind ever made in Nebraska, was a military experiment under direction of Adjutant General Hall. The distance, which approximately fitty miles the crow flies,” was | covered by the aviator in forty-threo | minutes' actual flying time. Following | is the “time-card” reported by Captain McMillan: Left Lincoln at 2:34 o'clock; iavelock, 2:35; Waverly, “4; Greenwood, | 2:48; arrived Ashland, 2:55; left Ashland, $:30; arrived in Omaha at 4:12 Gould Diets, president of the Aero Club of Nebraska, otier members of the club, and several scores of spectators greeted Captain McMillen when he alighted at the Ield club grounds. An accident was narrowly averted when, in landing at the | ¥ield club, the acroplane went into the roadway at the low place near the club house, dropping down several feet. The impetus of the machine carried it up the bank on the opposite side, where it stopped. Spectators in Way. There was such a large number of peo- plescatereq over the club grounds that Captain McMillen had to pick a landing place quickly to avoid any possible dan- ger to the people and did not notice the deep cut through the grounds. As TE was, one wing of the seroplane struck an automoblle, but no serious damage was done. ESTABROOK SEES 6.0.P. VICTORY SURB. Stops Off for the Day After a 'l‘rip‘ All Over the Western | Country. DEMOS ARE AT LOGGE Henry Jstabrook, formerly §a "'- and now of New York, whigiiéCently | threw his hat in the ring for the repubii- ean nomination for the presidency, stopped off in Omaha yesterday en route from Kansas City to Chicago, where he speaks today before the Hamilton club. He had made an address Saturday before the Commercial club of Kansas City. “My principal' object in stopping here was to visit the headquarters and see how Mr. Cralg is getting along he vouchsafed When asked about the coming election he said: “T predict a eweeping republican victory, based to no little extent on the six weeks' trip which I am completing, and which has taken me over a large part of the country.

Mr. Estabrook went on to say that a united republican party was decidedly | more aesured than a democratic one. In illustrating this he asserted that the fol- lowers of Roosevelt in the 1912 campaign was in a great measure supporting his personality, and that the principles of re- ! publicanism were never abated i “‘And the democrats,” he went on, “are | at loggerheads. Wilson has at last seen the light, and has rallied to the support of preparedness, while Bryan, the Moses of the democratic party, as it were, is rather leading his following into the wilderness, instead of out.” Of his own part in the campaign he did not care to talk. Germany Denounces Reports of Famine As Pure Inventions BERLIN, Nov. 2.—(By Wireless to ‘Tuckerton, N. J)—The wsemi-official Overseas News agency gave out today a statement designed to set forth actual conditions in Germany and controvert what it terms false reports spread by the enemies of this country. The statemant follows: Captain McMillen was preceded in his flight by several automobiles, the first two leaving Lincoln at 11:30 o'clock con= taming newspapermen and others. R. E. Matteson, commercial superintendent o the Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph “For some time now the English and French press and wircless wervices have been hard at work attempting to counter ¢ balance the pad impression made on the whole world by the military and diplo- matic defeats suffered by these nations company, and M!

This machine left Ashland #bout twenty minutes ahead of Captain MeMillen, but the latter beat them to the fleld club about three minutes, making the last mile on a flat tire when they aw the aeroplane go into the ditch, fear- ng serious injury to Captain McMillen, Incidentally it is of considerable to note that Mr. Hansen drove his machine, a Cadillac, from Lincoln to Omaha in one hour and thirty-two minutes, showing up through the towns, beating the former record thre minutes. Dr. Hall held the watch on the trial. On account of the severe cold meces- sitating heavy wraps, Captain McMillen was forced to leave out the bomb drop- ping, scheduled as a part of the experi- ment. Among the messages carried by the eviator was a letter from Governor Morehead to Mayor Dahlmap, one from the secretary of the Lincoln Elks to the secretary of the Omaha Hiks, one from Secretary Whitten of the Lincoln Com- mercial club to Secretary Manley of the Omaha Commercial club, one from Gen- eral Hall to President Gould Dietz of the Aero club, also a golden knife from Tucker & Shean, jewelers of Lincoln to President Deitz. ‘The value of the aeroplane for quick service was shown when the Best laun-| dry at Lincoln recelved a message from !
