•ICNKAC, May 5. — Travelers on
the Salmon creek road last night, just
before midnight, report seeing a fly
ing machine come from the west over
Douglas island, travel up Gastineau
channel and on into Lynn canal. Those
who saw it say the machine was fly
ing at a moderate speed and at an
elevation 2.'*00 or 2.500 feet, and
that she carried a large headlight and
two smaller lights farther back.
“The machine was too far away for
us to see in the night whether it was
a biplane or a monoplane or whether
there was only one in it or more,"
said George C. Burford, who was on
the Salmon creek road.
Mr. Burford and Roy Cheek were
in Mr. Burford’s automobile on the
way out to Mr. Burford’s residence,
and Mr. Cheek discovered the aero
plane as it came over the mountain
back of Douglas. Its lights were seen
first, and later the outline of the ma
chine itself. Mr. Burford stopped the
car. and both he and Mr. Cheek say
that they made absolutely certain that
it was a flying machine that they
saw, lighted, apparently with electric
ity. However, neither of them heard
the familiar buzzing of the motor.
though they say It was too far away
for that.
"The flying machine struck Gasti
neau channel opposite the Lemon
creek point," said Mr. Burford, “and
from there followed up the channel
over Lynn canal. It was still going
north when it went out of sight."

CHICAGO, May 3. — Warnings are
being sent broadcast throughout the

supposedly to receive good Jobs are
merely blinds for the purpose of get
ting them across the border so that
they may join the British army.

TO AN! BREAK
JUST NOW
WASHINGTON. May — Republi
can Leader Mann took (he floor today
and supported the senate amendment
to the army bill to provide for a re
gular army of 250,000 men, after he
had failed to prevent consideration of
of a special rule to bring disputed
joints between the senate and house
to conference.
"I am against this country entering
the war." he said amid applause, “but
I am in favor of sufficient preparation
now- so that if we are forced into the
war. we will have somehting to fight
" II u.

prepared for use as the first line ol
defense if it becomes necessary. II
when peace reigns again throughout
the world there should be a desire tc
tower the standing army I would
favor it.
Foolith to Hesitate.
“It is, however, foolish beyond de
scription in the present situatior
throughout the world to hesitate about
spending a little money that we mighl
have trained men if the war should
come.
“We ought to prepare for the worsl
I now," said Mr. Mann.
”1 am opposed to breaking off dip
lomatic relations with any country
now. I believe that we ought to re
strain ourselves and even stand in
suit and injury, but there is a limit

“1 feel." said Representative Kahn
the ranking Republican of the mili
tary committee, defending the senate
amendment, that the time lias come
when we ought to tell the world thal

defend her citizens and their property
In every quarter of the globe. You
cannot write notes and expect any
thing to come of them unless you have
the power to back them. 1 am in favoi
