GLIDES UNDER GREAT ARCH

Daring French Aviator In Remarkable Flight at Paris. Paris, Aug. B.—Lieutenant Godfrey, A French aviator, today performed the feat of passing under the Arc de Triomphe in an airplane flight. Godfrey flew a machine with a wing spread of eight yards, which left him a margin of about seven yards to get through the arch. He cleared the opening cleanly, gliding through with his motor stopped. After clearing the arch he turned on the power again, and flew over the Champs Elysee.
