Army Airman May Use Bombing Plane For Attempt to Make Flight Across Ocean

WASHINGTON, April 3. (Special) The rivalry between the army and navy In rushing to completion plans for flying across the Atlantic grows keener dally. Concerning the plans of the rival branches of the service less Is known abont the details of the army's plans than those of the navy. Lieutenant Roy N. Francis, an experienced aviator, is making plans for the army's flight He has discussed the problems to be overcome but Is reticent as to the accomplishments of the department. Martin Bomber Considered It is not even known for a certainty which of the various airplanes tried out will be used for the flight. From the frequency with which Col. William L. Kenly, former director of military aeronautics, and Capt Francis tried out the Glenn I Martin bomber It has come to be taken for granted that this is the machine which the army will choose. The Martin bomber shown at the New York aeronautical exposition had a wing spread of seventy-one feet with a fuselage forty-six feet long. It weighed 5,600 pounds loaded. It had accommodations for four men and 285 gallons of gasoline. The maximum

Lewis McKee visited the eighth grade Thursday..... The Dixon Freshmen-Sophmore basketball team met Monroe bova elehth

Roop who is holding evangelistic services at West Manchester, assisted In the chapel exercises Friday morning Ruasell Zumbrura has moved Into our district and is now attending school at Monroe. He is in. the first grade. .. .Lewis Sullivan has withdrawn from the first grade.... One hundred ninety dollars and ninety-seven cents was cleared at the carnival and box social, March 21. ....The Junior class was lately organized and the following officers were elected for this year and next: President, Levi Creager; vice-president, Leonard House; secretary and treasurer, Carl A. Leas; assistant secretary and treasurer, Lois Hoover. Plans have been made for a JunlorSenlon reception to be given April 16 in the gymnasium. . . .A girls' club in home-making has been organized at Monroe school with Miss Ruth Markey as its leader. The club held a meeting and the following officers were elected: President, Esther Ware; vice-president, Iris Smith; secretary and treasurer, Louise Jefferson. The club will meet at least once a month during the cummer. The Ernst nursery of Eaton, Ohio, has accepted the advertising proposition offered by L. F. Shieser, superintendent, and has donated 100 fine fruit trees to the Monroe Centralized schools. These trees will' be planted on the northeast section of the school ground and their care will be under the direct supervision of the agriculture department of the school. Mr. Shleser's idea is to make this the model orchard of the future for the community. Its value will be four-fold, he points out to give an attractiveness and home-like appearance to the school, to furnish the practical side of education for this phase of the agriculture course, to educate the community as well as the school in the proper care of orchards, and to furnish a means of revenue for the school. The first three values alone would Justify this move and

there is every reason to believe that with proper care and management an orchard can be made to pay, even in this community, the superintendent says. The Monroe Grange has arranged to meet at the Bchool ground Friday, April 4, Arbor Day, to plant shade trees and will assist in the planting of thl3 orchard. FAYETTE MEN CONFESS TO WAYNE ROBBERIES Orville Stout, 20 years old, and Charles Finch, 22 years old, under drrest in Connersville for a robbery committed there, have confessed to the robbing of the Wissler hardware store in Cambridge City Saturday night, and of the Brown general store in Milton, say Connersville police. The Wissler store was entered by breaking a pane of glass, and the booty consisted of guns, razors, tools and other articles worth about $100. Police had suspected the two men for some time, and traced them to a cave along Whitewater, where all the stolen property was found. They will be tried In Fayette county before answering the Wayne county charges. Both live in Connersville.

LIEUT. ROY N. FRANCIS speed was 118 miles an hour. There were two Liberty motors, each of 400 horsepower. What other changes have been made in the machine for the flight other than the necessary enlarging of the gasoline tank are not known. No Hint ArTo Start There Is an impression among persons who have talked with army officers that Captain Francis himself may be the army pilot of the transAtlantic flight. Absolutely no hint

has been allowed to dribble through as to "where he will take the air. As in the case of the navy, however. It Is assumed that he will fly from the North Atlantic to the Azores and from there to England or Ireland. Whether or not he will have "mother ships" to fly to in midocean has not been stated. The Inference has been drawn from Capt Francis' talks that he does not think much of the

idea of having to rely upon aid to make the flight. Persons who know him are willing to predict that he may attempt to make the flight from one side of the Atlantic to the other without a stop.
