BRITISH STAR HAS DESTROYED 42 FOE PLANES

Captain McCudden Wins Every Honor for Valor that Briton Bestows.

. (By Associated Press) . LONDON, April 18. Every honor for valor that a British officer can gain haa been won by Captain James Byford McCudden, the star British airman, who has Just been awarded the Victoria Cross. His other distinctions, in the order of their award, include the Distinguished Service Order, a bar to the D. S. O., the Croix De Suerre, military cross,, bar to the . Military Cross and the Military Medal. - McCudden, who is now 23 years old, entered the British army as a bugler eight years ago. He went to France as a private in the original expeditionary force. Having had some experience in the air he was pressed into service as an observer at Mons and gave valuable information of enemy movements during the retreat. From a sergeant he was promoted to a commissioned rank as an observer and quickly won fame for his handling of a machine gun in aerial fighting. He has had more than one hundred fights without ever having received a wound. Fifty-four German airplanes have been accounted for by Capt. McCudden. Of these, 42 have been destroyed, nineteen of them on the British tide of the line. On two occasions, the British star has destroyed four two seated enemy airplanes on the same day, and on thelast occasion all four machines were destroyed in the space of one hour and thirty minutes. With his squadron he has participated in seventy-eight offensive patrols and on at least thirty other occasions he has crossed the enemy lines alone, either in pursuit of or in quest of enemy airplanes. "This officer Is considered," says the official London Gazette, "by the record which he has made by his fearlessness and by the great service he has rendered to his country, deserving of the very highest honor."

jority of the 39 cities voting, the wets carried the larger municipalities and retained more than 1,400 of the 2.132 licenses, or nearly seventy percent of the total involved. Revised returns early today from Geneva, which had been in doubt, threw it into the wet column by a small majority. This made the line-up stand: For, prohi bition 20; for retaining license, 19.

The result in detail follows: Amsterdam, wet; Auburn, dry; Batavia, dry; Beacon, wet; Binghamton, dry; Canadaigun, dry; Corning. dry; Cortland, dry; Elmira, dry; fulton, dry;.
