AVIATOR DROPS SIX MILES, THEN SAVES HIMSELF Rights Machine 2.000 Feet From Ground After Setting High Flying Mark. SIGHT GONE FOR A TIME DAYToN. 0., Feb. .'8.—"I'll make It the next time." Undaunted by tbe narrowest of narrow escapes from death, when his airplane fell more than six miles after breaking all altitude records, Maj. R. 'V. Sehroeder of Chicago, test pilot at McCook field here, today said he was only waiting for hi® frozen eyeballs to return to normal before again attempting to reach a height of 40,000 feet. The major is officially credited with attaining a height of 36,020 feet on his flight here yesterday. Other marks put the height at 37.000 feet, which Is anew otm-man altitude record. The gas lank of Sehroeder's machine burst at this dizzy height and pilot and machine were plunged toward the earth. On the way down Sehroeder lost consciousness and was within 2.0(10 feet of the ground before recovering sufficiently to right his machine, lie was temporarily blinded and is now in a hospital. TEMPERATURE AT 65 BEIOIV ZERO. The temperature at the height attained by Maj. Sehroeder was 55 degrees below zero. As the machine descended (he gas tank mad" a, fan behind the falling m chine which observers in Dayton mistook for a comet. Maj. Sehroeder. who was born and raised on the west side in Chicago, is the holder of many records for army flying. There are few American flyers who have had more experience than has fallen to his lot, and he was devoting his time to aviation studies in 1908 1909 and ,1910, before the war popularized this important military branch. Beginning as a mechanic, he has thoroughly acquainted himself with motors and many important changes made in the army airplanes are the results of his work. As an engine test, Sehroeder made a tr -I flight of 550 miles while serving as flying instructor at Rantonl, 111. The last fifty miles of the trip were made in the dark and through a blinding rainstorm. Sehroeder was compelled to steer entirely by compass, but covered the entire distance in six hours.

‘France and Britain United Forever * LON'DOM, Feb. 28.—" France and Great Britain are united forever," President Deschanel of France asserted in a message printed in the Morning Post today.

Sehroeder has attained his present world’s record for altitude by gradual stages. He first attracted attention by flying at the rate of 137 miles an hour to a height of 18.400 feet. This was in this city. A little later he flew to a height of 19.500 feet In a monoplane and then in a flight from here to Canton he soared 25.000 feet. During this flight his finger tips were frozen. Maj. Sehroeder set anew two-man record in this city by attaining a height of 29.000 feet. He was accompanied on this trip by an observer. Lieut. George Elfrey. This record was bettered by the aviator less than a month later, when he flew to a height of 30.900 feet. Women Ask Relief for Blind Asylum The Central \V. C. T.

W. C, DEMILLER. There should be no letup In activities against revolutionary agencies in the United States, according to’ W. C. DeMHler, immigration inspector, but rather a closer surveillance should be kept on all who enter America in order that no agents of Bolshevik rule may gain a foothold here. Mr. DeMiUer, who conducted all examinations of alleged communists taken in the red raids in Indiana, commented at length today on his experience with them. He said: “The experience of meeting these communists fa<e to face, of talking to them and hearing their views, was unique, and, I might say, distressing. No one not an actual witness can understand the feeling that presents itself to one who, in our own land, comes in actual contact with such unamerican. unchristian, revolutionary doctrines and liberty destroying propaganda from a people whom we have welcomed and offered ro share all in iand, liberty, independence, education, opportunity and the right of franchise.

“MOVEMENT PART OF THAT IN RUSSIA." ‘‘lt is very evident that the movement here is but a part of the third international of Russia and shows the hand of Lenine, Trotzky and others of their kind. “That many of tho misguided followers among tbe more Ignorant class do not comprehend this, or even the meaning of the movement, is also evident. Neither is it intended nor necessary that they should. Dupes and money are what the real leaders seek. Dupes to carry on the nefarious work and money from them in the form of dues "That the present aim of the Russian government and its officers is to foment and incite discontent, aiming toward a revolution in this country, Is too well known to need comment, as Is algo the fact that the entire movement is a dishonest and criminal one. It is an or ganized campaign to acquire the wealth and power of all countries for the socalled leaders. ‘‘.Sympathizers of the party, according to authorities who have viewed its growth throughout the entire nation, are com posed of criminaia, mistaken idealists and social bigots, but to a far greater extent, and especially in this section countless unfortunates who have been led astray by crafty agents appointed for that purpose. The**’ people, many of whom can not speak the English language, do not begin to comprehend our ideals or lofty ambltlona and love of country, that come and declare their intentions of showing us how to run our own affairs, whether we like their plan or not. Their idea is not to build up. hut to destroy. They have no love for thla country in their hearts. Many lived at the expense of the Russian people for sever/1 years. Tbes Russian leaders, these breeders of class hatrd. these speculators In human lives and other peoples earnings, sre endeavoring to acquire more fields of activity, hoping to tnke advantage of economic distress and confusion of mind In which humanity finds Itself after strain of warefare to gather the weaklings of other lands under their banner of destruction.

rebuffed ok kvkry HASD IX AMERICA. “But they reckoned without their hots when they came to America. The people of the country repudiated them, the great mass of American workers repudiated them and the honest foreigner* of this country who were grateful for their opportunity to become part of us repudiated them. Even so the people, of the United States have no idea of the strength of this movement and to what ends those behind It were prepared to go. The raids carried on by the United States government came at a moat opportune time. Slowly hut surely this restive element will be forced back and out. ‘ The revelations made during examination of these men causes mo to see the wisdom of Vice President Marshall’s remark* when he declared that no foreigner ought to be admitted to the country who does not first signify his Intention of becoming a citizen. > “Personally, I believe that to be the most sound statement I have read. It Is the proper solution. If those of foreign birth are coming here for a lioipe, country and liberty, America will welcome them. If they are coming here temporarily as agents of some bolshevik govern tnent, or to use this country fo'r personal ieasons, the time to find them out Is before they enter, and If they do enter, wo should see that they carry out tho declaration made at the port of entry.”

LITTLE THEATER BILL EXCELLENT IN EVERY DETAIL Three Plays of Strong Contrast and General Appeal Well Presented. By GRACE HUTCHINGS. The Little Theater presented three unusual and entertaining short plays last evening at the Masonic temple. They were “The Festival of Bacchus.” a comedy of words; by Arthur Sebnltzler; “Fear," a study, by Robert W. Sneddou, and “Everybody's Husband,” a fantasy, by Gilbert Cannon. The Little Theater players have never been heard in a more pleasing bill, of in one' that was better planned from the standpoints of contrast anti general appeal. George Somnes directed all three plays and took the lead in "Kear.” Mr. Somnes has worked out many clever and artistic ideas in the stage lighting, in tho scenic effects and the whole stage craft until the productions of the Little Theater, since he assumed the directorate, have attained all the dignity and smootu- 1 ness of professional excellence. TELLS STORI OF PLAYWRIGHT’S WIFE. The first play, “The Festival of P.ae* ehus,” told the story of a young wile (played by Mrs. Margaret Newcomb Bird), whose husband is a playwright, away for weeks at a time In search of material for new plays. Mrs. Bird wag a charming and demure “wife” anl gave a splendid character portrayal. Romney Willson was spontaneous in his part as the ''friend'’ who became enamored with the wife. Otto Waither Lie--IW, as the husband, gave a finished and satisfying performance. He dead his lines in well modulated tones and main tained the dignity that belonged to his iharacter in a most convincing manner. The small parts, guard and waiter, by Charles L. Rohrman and Fritz Schaeffer, respectively were, well taken. “Kear,” the second of the plays, tells the story of a castle 1n Scotland. Three young persons, Americans, are being shown through a castle by a caretaker. H. L. Earnest, as the caretaker, gave a polished performance that is many times unequalled on the professional stage. Miss Pauline Taylor and .Tames G. Morgan were effectively cast and handled thoir parts capably. THIRD PLAY A “TAKE-OFF.” ‘‘Everybody’s Htrtband ’ was a “takeoff" on man, woman and marriage. Miss Mary .lane Walters as the “girl" was winsome and sweet and danced gracefully Mrs. Elizabeth Schofield as the "mother," Mrs. J. P. Pierce as the grandmother, and Miss Florence as the great-grandmother, were ail eat!* f’ y ‘ng in their respective parts, as was Miss Marjorie Childs as the "maid." Jack Broderick’s work was highly praiaed. The scenic effects of this play were particularly charming. On Friday night. March 26, the Little Theater society will present an entire evening of new plays by Indiana authors. A large audience gathered to hear tbe players. Ship Indianapolis Halted byAirgram WASHINGTON. Feb. 28—The United States shipping board steamship Indianapolis. which sailed from Baltimore a week ngo with a cargo of flour for the anti-bolshevik population of the Murmansk roast (northwestern Russia) has been recalled by wireless as a result of the capture of Murmansk and Archangel by the soviet forces, it was learned today.
