Alberto Salines, second in command to v General Murguia, one of the rebel leaders, who recently was captured / at Guaranche, state of Durango, Friday, was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment by a military court sitting at Tepektoanes, Durmngo, according to advices received at the war office from Q?v Eugenio Martinez, commanding the norther district. Colonels Abelard Abrego and Ricardo Palacios, who were captured at the same time Salinas was taken by the federal forces, were sentenced to death and immediately executed. The status of General Salinas has pot been definitely determined as he was tried by a military tribunal,' al though he asserted he should have been brought before a civil court as 1 he no longer belonged to the federal army. It is understood Salinas will be brought to Mexico City and held in a military prison until his case iti reviewed. Salinas was the head of the federal aviation during the Carranza regime. SinCe his capture a week ago scores of solicitious telegrams have been received by President Obregon from friends of Salinas in the United States especially in New York, where he graduated from a military college President Obregon several days ago gave assurances that Salinas would not be put to death.t The whereabouts of General Murguia it Uncertain.

Kemp's brother, a wealthy lumber manufacturer of Ocala, Fla., came to Lumberton last week and arranged the bond. Counsel for the aged defendant seeking bail appeared before Judge W. M. Bond, holding court hers, and Solicitor S. B. McLean agreed to release Kemp under $4,000 bond. The ease is scheduled to be tried at the November term of Robeson county superior cfcurt.. The Robeson county grand jury in November 1878, returned a true bill against Kemp charging murder but the fact that he has been admitted to bail is taken here to mean that he will not be tried for murder in the first degree. ~ Kemp does not deny that he killed McNeill, according to Sheriff Lewis, but claims self defense. He declares he shot McNeill when the latter threatened him with an axe after they had quarrelled. The only living witness of the killing, it is said, Is a brother of McNeill.

Drouhin, who ascended in a Goliath biplane at 6:18 Saturday morning in an attempt to beat the American duration flight recently made at San Diego, Calif., by Lieutenants John A. MacReady and Oakley Kelly, landed in the airdrome here at 4:27 this afternoon, having remained in the air 34 hours 14 minutes and 32 seconds. They thus failed to equal the secord of MacReady and Kelly, which was 35 hours, 16 minutes and 30 seconds. { The French Aerial federation, how- | ever, considers the mark set by* Bos- < soutrot and Drouhin an official world's record, contending that the American i flight was conducted under such con- | ditions as will not be accepted by the | International federation, of which the j United States is a member. , "I have been to America and half , way back again," Lieutenant Bossoutrot said to the Associated Press cor- < respondent as the latter greeted him ] on alighting from the plane. The , aviators were forced to land through lack of gasoline, of which they had , taken 4,200 litres when they started. When informed that his performance did not break MacReady's flight, Bossoutrot remarked:, N "I don't see how he could do it with the gas he is reported to have had aboard." The Goliath traveled 3,200 miles, according to the instruments, which 1 were sealed before the departure and f remained within 600 to 1,000 feet altitude for the first 12 hours. When the 1 gasoline load lightened it ascended ' to 6,000 feet and remained there t throughout Sunday. It always kept t within sight of the walls of Paris 1 and was in constant communication * by wireless with Le Bourget. v At midnight after being in the air * for 18 hours Drouhin complained of 1 cramps, owing to cold . coffee from v inadequately heated bottles. -Bossou- 1 trot took command, remained at the * helm for seven hours. He was then r ah?at exhausted and aroused Drou- 6 bin from the campbed within, saying, 1 ' There is plenty of gas left. Shall we land-?I am finished.** 1 At this time they were wtthin sight F before the pilots, although Bossou- t trot was a sorry looking sight as he 1 alighted, with bloodshot eyes and * huffed face from the extreme cold, t while Drouhin staggered from the c fuselage, where he had been attempting to repair the left motor. This ' motor died about 4 o'clock and the plane continued its flight with only the right motor for 27 minutes longer. The French Aerial federation, ^ through Paul Rousseau, announced , thorp was not the slightest doubt that th^ record would be ratified. The aviators complied with all the regulations of the Aero club and were in communication with Eiffel Tower every half hour. While not questioning the American record, the federation considers that until further advices are received from America, the flight which ended here this evening will be regarded as a world's record.

The British war loans of approximately $4,600,000,000 have been for some time the center of discussion re- 1 garding the payment to this country I by her war allies of war loans of more than $11,000,000,000. A British commission with power to negotiate terms for the payment of the British loans is expected to arrive here soon to discuss the situation with Washington officials.

For several months the British government has been sending gold to his country and also buying dollar exchange in anticipation of the first nterest payment on the war loans, r. P.

He left this evening for Paris, where he will make a full report to Premier Poincare be fore publicly discuaaing his mission - to Mustapha Kemal Pasha. 1 The envoy praised the attitude of r the Turks and expressed surprise at . Lloyd George's criticism of Turkey, j "It is to our dear country, to France . alone, that the world is indebted for , having brought about a definite un? derstanding that assures peace," he j declared. "France alone knew how , to talk to Turkey, and that should not . be tbrgotten." a He advocated close relations be? tween France and Turkey as essen. tial to European peace. Phris, Oct. 15 (By the Associated trass).?An inspired note issued tof day in answer to Lloyd George's Man. j cheater speech and British newspaper , comment places Prances in the role of peacemaker in the recent Turkish crisis "at Great Britain's request." It Sails attention to the British dec_ laration that France abandoned Great Britain at Chanak and that peace was saved only by Britain's resolute } stand, and says: "The Turks, flushed with victory, were marching on the straits when - General Harington, according to his ^ own admission, did not have sufficient i forces to stop the advance. The unconciliatory attitude shown by DownJ ing street, notably in its appeal for the military cooperation of the dominions and the Balkan allies, was not of a nature to calm the Nationalist leaders. <4It was in these circumstances that on September 20 Lord Curzon came 9 to Paris to confer with M. Poincare. The minister of foreign affairs asked 3 the French premier to exercise his 9 influence wjth the Angora govern' mpnt to check the advance upon the J straits and it was with this object, jj with Lord Curzon's approval, that u "The allies, at the same time upon ? M. Poincare's demand, decided to give ? Thrace to the Turks as evidence of * their good intentions. The chief of 8 the Angora government having confi" dence in the assurance the French delegate brought to him, agreed to s cease all military enterprises.

Barlow and ' Clenn L. Martin, inventors of a de- i vice for a long range attack. Only < a few persons are said to have known the secret, so closely was it guarded. < The basis of the idea was the com- i hining of the flying torpedo built I principally along the lines of the dual . motored bombing plane, with a small 1 plane of the scout type but carrying I a largo fuel tank, Mr. Barlow said. I In flying to the objective, the two i planes were to have been a single I unit, the smaller plane's engine draw ing its fuel from the torpedo plane's ( tank, heaving its own fuel supply in- . tact for the return flight. < "If the war had continued Cleveland would have contributed two in- , ventiona which would have ended it , speedily," declared Benedict Crowell, | former assistant secretary of war. , "One would have been this flying < torpedo and the other the deadly eras , which was developed in the 'mouse- , trap.' , "Our scheme to blow to atoms the German capital, 700 miles from the ( battle lines, was so simple that Gen. j G. O. Squier, American ranking: gen- , eral of the air forces, was skeptical." Mr. Barlow said. "When he was convinced of its practicability his great fear was that-the Germans might hit ( upon the same idea and put it into effect before we could get the neces- ] y fquipmciii ucruNi inu nuuiiiie. "Under the plan adopted, a fleet of J flying torpedoes, each of 800 horse , power, would be piloted under cover of darkness from the American lines to within a few miles of Berlin. The pilots would return while the flying ^ torpedoes continued under mechanical control to the center of the city. There the wings automatically would . be blown from the torpedoes, causing ' the whole mass to fall. On striking the torpedoes, each of which would 1 contain a ton and a half of TNT or i the equivalent of poisonous gases, would explode. "In order to assure a thoroughly successful attack, our hope was to launch a fleet of at least 50 of these dual units against Berlin. Their mm, w bo so arranged that they could approach the city from all directions simultaneously." Two months before the armistice was signed, the inventors say the government ordered them to proceed immediately with the pi-oduction of n flying torpedo fleet. A thousand aircplane torpedoes, Mr. Martin estimated could be constructed and used for the cost of one modern battleship. He estimated the cost of one such torpedo at J50.000. The idea came to the inventors in October, 1915, when Mr. Bartow was tjnploytd in the Martin airplane factory in Los Angeles, Cal., srortly after his return from Mexico, where, as a major cn the staff of Francisco Villa, he conducted, what he believes, was the lirst airplane bombing squadron in the world. Reports of the British air service that it had released from its la*""* scouting planes over the North s small passenger planes that returned to the base suggested the solution of their problem, Martin and Bartow said. "There is little new to the invention," Mr. Bartow explained. "Rather it is a fusing together of what was , then known," he continued, j Mr. Bartow has obtained a score or more of patents on high explosive devices, most of which, he said, were used by the allied governments.
