FAMOUS ACE

V IS HERE
Cordova was favored with a short
visit last night by one of the famous
aces of tin* Koval flying corps. Major
K< ad o! I lost on, Karly in the war
,M; mi Kead went to Kngland and Ic
es, me a ily«*r. and in a short time, by
h'~ daring and success, became one
ni tlie best known of tin* corps. I i * *
was given a captain's commi Mon. in
(large oi a s(|uadron. but sustained
an injury in a fall that c*>mp< lied him
to leave tin* front for a short time.
Cpon America's entrance into tin
war he was one of the ten tliers se
beted to come to America to instruct
American fliers. He was given a mu
jor's commission in the tinted Stat
aviation corps, but on account of his
injury the medical corps denied him
the privilege* of active service, but
wanted to use him as a technical in
structor This did not meet with
Major Head's approval, so he resigned
his commission and came to Alaska
as a mining engineer, looking after
some properties for Kastern corpora
•ions, but mainly with a view of im
proving his health.
lie now feels fit and well, and is on
his v.av ba'k to Washington t<> try
mid get active service again If the
American corps will not bf him fly
In- intends to again enter the Ko; il
(lying corps.
M. j'M Head i a man ITi years of
age. apparently a perfect specimen of
manhood, and one of the most unas
suming young men It is next to im
possible to get him to relate any of
his experiences, he is so modest. This
shyness also applie to the gentler sex.
The major is a very bashful man. and
says he would rather face a squadron
of Hun planes alone than to undergo
an hour's questioning from an attrac
live lady.
The major seemed vi r> much
pleased with whet little he saw of
Cordova, and after the* war plans on
making his home in Maska. His only
fear now is that the war will be over
before he will be able to gel over and
flying again.
