HEAVY CLOUDS MAY KEEP GERTSOfJ FROM LlAIIItJG THBILLIHG WIGHT LOOPS

CENTENNIAL EVENTS FOR TODAY Wednesday afternoon Loop-the-loop and diving flight in aeroplane by Louie Qerteon. Dayton delegation of 100 arrives at 7 o'clock to march with Dayton band from Fifteenth and Main to exposition to participate In Civic Day. Wednesday night Aviator Gertson's aerial pyrotechnic display and bomb dropping exhibition. The aeroplane will leave the field at 7:15 o'etoek, flying with eight red lights for 15 minutes before setting off fireworks. Dance of Seasons will be presented again at Pageant under direction of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Nohr, Jr. Miss Laura Gaston of Earlham college will direct a quadruple quartet In old time and modern songs and dances. Circus performances at Tenth and North A streets daily at 4 and 10 o'clock. Estimated Tuesday's attendance, 7,400.

It looked doubtful shortly after noon Wednesday for the centennial's crowning feature, the loop-the-loop by Louis Oertson In his aeroplane. A blanket of clouds obscured the sun and left the city dark and chilly while sharp winds added to the probable difficulty of making the loop. "I believe the clouds will be high enough so that I can loop." Mr. Gerteon said. "Smoke Is hanging over the city and the wind Is high." The flight with fireworks, red fire and other illumination and a bomb dropping exhibition, may depend tonight on the weather conditions. It is almost impossible to make the loop at night except at a high altitude, which under present conditions today, rrobably would mean that the plane would be hidden in the solid grayfog hanging over the earth. Union Band Objects Difficulties with the Richmond City hand aroused by the announcement that a non-union band would accompany the Dayton delegation were settled The Richmond band will fill its contract with the centennial, but will not march with the reception coramittN which will meet the Dayton business men and the Dayton band will stay way from the centennial grounds.

JUST T.1A0E NICE DIVE

The first aero-sensation Richmond had, proved to be too much yesterday, It happened when Louis Gertson, cen tennial aviator, made two beautiful dives from a great height to his land lug field after completing yesterday afternoon's flight.

WAR REVIEW FOR THE DAY Developments in Greece within the last forty-eight hours overshadow news of fighting. A state of affairs bordering on anarchy exists in Athens as a result of the landing of bluejackets and marines from allied warships and news of the abdication of King Constantino would not come as a surprise. Constantine is still resisting the demands of the entente and Rome reports that the pro-German forces are gathering in numbers. Counter offensives of the Germans on two fronts has failed to gain them any decided advantage. On the Somme front the Germans gained some Krst line trenches from the French but vere immediately ejected. On the eastern front the Teutons secured an advantage in the Carpathians but lost heavily in the fighting. Roumanians are attacking the Aus-tro-Germans all along the line. South of Kronstadt, Von Falkanhayns' troops were forced back along the Transylvania border. KING CONSTANTINE CALLS FOR LOYALTY ROME, Oct. 18 King Constantine is issuing daily proclamations to. the Greek army and the sailors of the Greek navy, appealing to their loyalty. It is stated that the events of the last few days must show the Greek king that his government will perish if he persists in his pro-German attitude.

"This is Exactly what Charles E. Hughes has been contending in his speeches of late; it is what other Republican speakers and newspapers have been contending. And it is furthermore enlightening to recall that the house of representatives, by a re ITALIAN PLANES STRUGGLE IN AIR WITH AUSTRIAN'S ROME, Oct, 18.

HIS WAY DISPUTES TO PEOPLE "I should at the same time," Mr. Hughes continued, "have secured a commission of inquiry so impartial as to command the respect of the entire country, and directing public opinion to that end there is no. group of men in the United States that would have dared hold up the instrumentalities of commerce if that were done."

Miller, In charge of the local station of the Salvation Army, had his pocket picked in the centennial crowd last night and was relieved of his purse containing $9.00.

J shall on conviction be fined not less man $ & and not more than $100.
