MEXICAN GENERAL
GIVEN SEVEN YEARS
Mexico Oity, Oct. IB.?Gen. 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. The war office
sa^s he is known to have fewer than
h Hnrj>n m?n anH t.ha fa^arala imriii. I
ally af? closing: In on him and that
his capture is imminent.
The -secretary of the interior has
been informed that 15 men Friday
night crossed the border at Reynosa,
Tamulipas, near Matamoras.

conspicuously in General Charles
Green's recent revolution in Tobasco

Lumberton, N. (%. Oct. 16.?After
wqpdertng over the country and keeping
his identity from the police for
44 years, Joseph B. Kemp, arrested
at St. Augustine, Fla., last month
charged with the killing of Daniel E.
McNeill, near Red Springs on August
16, 1878, and brought here for trial,
is now st liberty under $^,000 bond
and Is visiting his brothers and sisters
in Bladen county, whom he had
not seen in almost a half century.
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.

LONG FLIGHT BY
FRENCH AVIATORS
Le Bourget, Prance, Oct. 16 (By the
Associated Press).?The French aviators,
Lieutenants Boussoutrot and M.
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.

U. S. RECEIVES
FIFTY MILLIONS
New York, Oct. 16.?The British
will make th& Ant payment of interest
on their American war loans to
the United States government tomorrow
when checks and treasury
certificates totaling: $60,000,000 will
be paid to the federal rederve bank
here for the account of the treasurer
of the United States by J. P. Morgan
A Co. acting as agents of the British
government.
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. According to unoffl:ial
advices from London, Great Britain
has promised a full navment.
Previous payments to the United
States by the British government
lave been for amounts of purchases
>f silver amounting to several hunired
millions of dollars made during
he war for the purpose of stabilizing
:urrencies of India and other British
rolonies.
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. Morgan & Co. estimated * the
cold shipments at between $25,000,>00
and $30,000,000. This gol was
urned over to the subtreasury here
ind after the amount had been deermined
by assay the proceeds were
urned over to the Morgan firm m
he form of a check drawn on the
ederal reserve banks. Smaller funds
vere also accumulated in member
>anks of the federal reserve system,
ibout ten checks being drawn on the
rarious depositaries of the British merest
fund as well as a quantity of
Jnited States treasury certificates
naturing October 16, making an exict
$50,000,000, which will make up
he first interest payment.
No explanation has been forthcom- ng
here as to whether tomorrow's
>ayment will be considered by the
*6*^*8 interest. Under the terms of
he loans, the accrued interest rady
te refunded. The only information *
ivailable locally was that the pay- c
nent will be "for account of inter- t

FRANCE CLAIMS
i CREDIT FOR PEACE
i . Toulon, France, Oct. 16 (By the
( Associated - Press). ? France, not
Grunt Britain, is entitled to the chief
f cw<t for bringing about the armis
tice agreement with Turkey, said
- Franklin-Bouillon, the special French
I envwjr to the Near East, when he was
f 3hosm Premie* Lloyd George's speech
- .upoh his arrival here today aboard
f the cruiser Metz. 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.
"It seems then well established that
the intervention of the French gove
crnment had a decisive influence
? upon the maintenance of peace."

PLANS HALTED
BY ARMISTICE
Cleveland, Oct. 16.?The story of
how the signing of the armistice 1
xuved Berlin from an aerial attack 1
was related here today, with the per- <
mission of the government, for the '
first lime by Lester H. 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.
