The science of the fighting game In
modern military tactics haa advanced
to a point where the entire fire of a

by an officer at a dlatance. Kield offi

enable them to sight the enemy. From
these positions they will direct tha fire

be placed with as much accuracy aa If
the enemy were In plain view, on

Owing to a lack of funds with which
to circulate the necessary petitions, it

varied before the final adjournment by
sharp discussion which was border
ing closely on the political, when It

remark that It applied to the Portland

SYRACUSE. N. T., Aug. 21. First,
last with his aeroplane in trying to fly
from Lyons to Auburn, 23 miles, Harry
N. At wood, the Boston aviator who is
flying from St. Louis to New York,
then wandered about the air for almost
an hour late today and finally was
forced by darkness to land five miles
west of Syracuse.
The delay caused a serious setback
in the attempt which the aviator is
making to break the world's record In
cross country aeroplane flying.
Aviator Loses Bearings.
Atwood ascended at Lyons with ths
purpose of flying in an alr-line 98 miles
to Utlca before night. Just after he
started, he decided to get from tha
course which he has followed along ths
tracks of the New York Central rail
road and cut cross-country to give tha
crowds at Auburn a view of him. Bua
he lost his bearings and not wishing la
land, he kept flying about, hoping to
find Auburn.
It was 4:24 P. M. when Atwood left
Lyons. At 5:20 P. M. he suddenly ap
peared over Auburn and landed there.
Atwood Lost Second Time.
Fearful of again being lost, Atwood
did not venture away from Auburn un
til 6:45 P. M., when he ascended, un
certain as to his destination. Then be
gan another exciting search for him,
extending all the way from Auburn to
Utlca.
Ten thousand people at Utlca awaited)
him at sundown. Syracuse also was
kept anxious until, at 7:17, word cams
that he had landed safely at Bella
Island, Ave miles west of Syracuse.
Experience Is Exciting.
''It was the most exciting experience
in the air I ever had." said Atwood.
From Syracuse Atwppd had but 23a
miles to fly before finishing in New
York City. Ha has been in the air
every day since he started. The dally
record, not Including today's, together
with a number of stops between tha
dally start and finish, is:
St. Louis to Chicago, two stops. 28f
miles. 5 hours and 43 minutes.
Chicago to Elkhart. Ind., no stops,
101 miles, 2 hours and 16 minutes.
Elkhart, Ind., to Toledo, O., one stop,
133 miles, 2 hours and 66 minutes.
Toledo to Cleveland, two stops, 12?
miles, 2 hours and 20 minutes.
Cleveland to Swanvllle, Pa., no stop,
84 miles, 2 hours and 7 minutes.
Swanvllle to Buffalo, one stop, 93
miles, 2 hours and 25 minutes.
Buffalo to Lyons, N. Y no stop, 104
miles, 2 hours and 11 minutes.
Long Flights Encouraged.
One result of his fight, Atwood soys,
will be to encourage long-dlstanco fly
ing In place of aviation meets.
"Aviation meets, as they are man
aged now, will soon be a thing of the
past," said Atwood. "They invite too
many spactacular attempts, with fatal
results. Flights to be developed along
the line of practical results, must be
confined to simple flying. It is mors
credit to civilization that a man can
fly across the continent than that ha
can turn a flip-flop in the air."
Atwood hopea to arrive in Albany
tomorrow night. From there on
Wednesday he thinks he will be able to
fly to New York.
