"It is From the Air This Country Will Strike Heavy Blow Against Enemy " Flandin Tells Reporter

PARIS, June 13. (Correspondence ot The Associated " Press. ) Monsieur Pierre Etienne FlancMn, head of the Interallied Aeronautic Service in France, expects great things from the co-operation of the United States in

military aviation. "It Is from the air," he said, "that the great republic car strike the blow that will be the most quickly felt by th enemy.. Five thousand American aviators, bringing with them their r.wn emiinmpnt in marMnpS- wnnld

velgh more heavily the balance of the war just now than 5,000 infantrymen or f.,000 artillerymen with their equipment in arms and munitions." pArmfkp AvIatAP ' l-llmftlf

Monsieur Flandin is the man with whom America will treat regarding the cooperation of the flying corps of the two armies.. He was an aviator himself before the war. holding a license from the Aero club dated 1912, and served with the flying corps at the front in Belgium during the first months of the war. Since then he has worked Incessantly for the development of the air service and when Monsieur Daniel Vincent, an aviator himself, was made under secretary of war for aviation, he sought the aid of M. Flandln's energy and experience to

helpr organize and administer this branch of the service. Both of them know aviation in its minutest details lrom experience in actual service. Considered Country of Miracles. "America is considered in France as a country of miracles in the domain of industry," he said, as to the co-operation of the United States in military aviation. "Public opinion imagines that this new country Is able to make factories spring from the ground in a ftw days. It imagines that you will be able to furnish in a very short time a considerable aerial fleet that will carry terror into the enemy's country and will give us absolutely the mastery of the air. If that opinion is presumptuous, I think myself that we may expect great events from the United States In aviation. "It is by bringing to bear its effort in air' warfare, in the first place that the great republic can give an almost immediate co-operation, bringing to France a material aid that wovrid make itself felt quickly upon the enemy," Monsieur Flandin added, "If you send us 500 aviators with an adequate proportionate equipment, you would bring us, outside of the nioral support, an aid that would weigh far more heavily in the balance."

What Our Boys Are Doing in France; Townspeople Watch Every Move of Men

A FRENCH SEAPORT, Wednesday, June 27. (Delayed by, censor.) Only a few hours after the arrival of the American expeditionary force at this

port the men were established In their camp. By noontime order had been brought out of chaos. The troops after mess began the work of putting

"Hands Across The Sea"

their camp in order, a task which they, accomplished with the aid of a few score of amazed and seemingly paralyzed German prisoners, most of whom refused to. believe that Americans actually had arrived to fight their countrymen. The general commanding the troops remained aboard his transport until the middle of the morning and then proceeded to his make-shift quarters in the camp occupied by his men. He established quarters for the time being in a great wooden shack constructed long before for other troops. He and his staff sat down to a genuine American luncheon, to which the general invited the correspondents. The rustic inhabitants peered in from the nearby road as they ate. The Admiral in command of the American transports and their escorts after disposing of the first rush of routine business abandoned his flag ship, received the correspondents and gave them a description of the voyage. He said it was broken only by incidents which had been cabled to Washington and which he desired to be given out there, if at all. His officers and the army officers were almost boyishly jubilant that no submarines had succeeded in. harming any of the transports. The first American transports to reach port arrived during the night, and because of the late hour and the unexpected selection of this ' port as the scene of the disembarkation, they were seen by few. In the grey of the early dawn the vessels, could j be seen nearly a mile down the harbor preceded by a battleship surrounded on every side by destroyers. As the wind shifted the United States flags floating on the top masts whipped in the breeze, became visible and a great cry of welcome surged the crowd. , As the vessels neared the quay, bugles sounded and the soldiers and sailors who had been along the rail In "such numbers that the vessel wavered, turned and saluted the flag. The crowd stood silent as though in awe. Hats were removed as strains of "America" peeled out. The people joined in a tremendous chorus of enthusiastic welcome as a marning salute to the colors was completed. By companies tb soldiers started for camp, two i. j from town where they are to lemain for the present training and in preparations for orders transferring them to the front. The townspeople cheered each company as It. passed even each van and truck and then in their enthusiasm, forgetful of the heat trudged to the camp eager not to miss the slightest detail of the American camp.

BRIEFS

ATTENTION MOOSE Meet at hall Tuesday, 7:15 p. m. to attend funeral services for Bro. Henry P. Campbell. G. G. Minix, Dictator W. Howard Brooks, Secy. . ' ' ' " july 2-3

CHICAGO, July 2. Two courts and the state's attorney office today began an Investigation of the affairs of Graham & Sons, one of the oldest private banks in the city which closed its doors Friday. A receiver appointed by the United States district court is in charge of the institution. . Being a private bank, no reports were issued, but unofficial statements by those connected with the concern, placed the assets at $6,000,000, liabilities at $5,000,000, and deposits at $4,000,000. , County Money in Bank The state circuit court issued subpoenas for an inquiry today into what has become of $143,000 of county money 6n deposit in the bank. Maclay Hoyne, state's attorney, whoee assistants and deputies broke down the door of the bank after it closed yesterday, announced ' that all documents seized would be turned over to the United States court, but that his office would continue to watch for evidence which might give basis for grand jury action. Optimistic opinions concerning the possible straightening out of the bank's affairs came from several sources. James G. Condon, attorney for the Chicago Title : & Trust company, receiver, announced that a preliminary investigation indicated that assets would exceed liabilities by perhaps $600,000. " Bank is Solvent George M. Reynolds, a banker, was quoted as -saying that figures he had seen "would indicate that the bank was solvent." There were about 27,000 depositors, many of whom were foreigners who conducted small shops on the west side. , The Graham bank was regarded as one of the. strongest private institutions in the state. Andrew J. Graham, its founder, died a year ago, and his two sons succeeded to the management. Since that time, bankers said, the non-liquid nature of the bank's assets, chiefiy paper on west side real estate, and of late, heavy with drawals of cash due to war investments and charities, had. consp'red to make the institution's position difficult. It was said that the Graham family had made strong efforts to save the bank.

COUNTY BUYS

MiTH FARM FOR $35,000

At a meeting of county council and the county commissioners this afternoon, an appropriation of $35,000 was made for the purpose of obtaining the Smith tar m, on the Liberty pike, south of the city to be used as a hospital for the treatment of tuberculosis. The appropriation made by the coun

cil, however, does not mean that the

taxpayers of the county will be forced

to purchase the farm as the entire

amount will be given by David Esteb

The appropriation was made to legalize the condemnation proceedings against the farm and to give the coun

ty the right to take over the land and buildings.

In taking over the farm, the county

enters into an agreement with the

estate of David Esteb to pay to the estate four percent of the original pur chase price as long as Mr. Esteb andj

his wife live. One year after the death of Mr. and Mrs. Esteb, the county will be relieved oi any further payment to the Esteb estate and shall retain the gift without further obligation. The four percent to be paid to the Esteb estate by the county will not mean a burden as the amount is practically equal to the earning capacity of the farm. The gift of the Smith farm to the county is one of the biggest donations ever made to Wayne county in its history. The farm, which includes a palatial residence, and a number of outbuildings, consists of 235 acres of the righest land in this section of the country. By using the land in the production of crops, the county will be able to maintain the hospital without any cost to taxpayers. Work on the improvement of the farm and of transforming it' for use as, a hospital will probably be begun as soon as possible.

Three thousand and fifty-six ships totaling 12,881,567 tons, have passed through the Panama canal since its

j opening in August, 1914.
