CONTROLS SMASHED.

PARIS. July 21. One of tho most
remarkable feats In the history of
aviation was performed by a French
flyer working with the American es
cadrillo. This aviator ran Into a German
shell sit a high altitude. His control
wires were completely cut away; his
levers were useless. He was flying
a wreck at thousands of feet above
tho ground. Koeplng his head, he
cleverly manipulated tho speed shifts
of his engine to allow his machine to
full slowly In a circling motion. He
landed in safety.
"Spuds" now being used by the
French airmen are forced to land at
a minimum speed of 110 to 120 miles
per hour. It la tor ithls reason espec
ially that the aviator's stunt Is re
garded as one ot tho miracles of av
iation. GERMANS CONTINUE

THE DRAFT.
From a speech by Theodore RooBevelt.
"I want to tell you that the drafted man who does
his duty is on the same plane of honor as any other
man who does his duty. There is no stigma attached
to being drafted. But those who are registered or
not registered, who do not do their duty, who do not
make every possible effort to serve, are not on the
same plane of honor as the drafted man. Escaping
the draft doesn't relieve you of your duty to serve.
That's the way to look at the draft."

Dculers Would Aid Customers to

(Br United Pros to the Bend Bulletin)
LONDON. July 21. Coal dealers
are sincere about it this time in ad
vising householders and owners of
big buildings to stock up with coal
for the winter. On July 31 the coal
controller will take command ot the
supply and no more deliveries will
be made, except under special per
mits, until a certain reserve tor the
London district has been accumulat
ed. As the price ot coal is- controlled
hy thgovernment there is no reason
why the dealers should hold their
stores for a higher price.
Last winter's coal supply problem
caused hardship to thousands, both
rich and poor. As the trouble was
simply a matter of transportation, the
same situation can be avoided this
year by summer deliveries.

Quota From County.
( Br United Prew to the Bend Bulletin)
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 21.
General Crowder announced today
that he had located a draft number
which had been thought missing at
the time the draft lottery was com
pleted. With this, the draft became
history.
Draft lists are checked up and of
ficial lists wilt be on their way to
the local exemption boards before
nightfall. The draft machinery will
be under way again the first ot next
week.
General Crowder did not disclose
how the missing number wag dis
covered. The number was 4664.
To prepare for the next step la
furnishing Deschutes county's quota
for the National army, the members
ot the county draft board. Sheriff
S. E. Roberts. County Clerk J. H.
Haner and County Physician Dwight
F. Miller, will meet tonight, outlining
the work to follow the announcement
of numbers.
From the first 74 numbers chosen
which will come under the county's
highest serial of $19, the county quo
ta of 37 will be taken, the extra 37
being available for the purpose of
filling vacancies created by exemp
tions, physical disability, or to take
the places of those who had already
enlisted, but whose numbers figured
in the draft. It the exemption list
should be unusually heavy, numbers
farther down' the list may bare to be
used, but It Is considered probable
that the list published yesterday In
The Bulletin will cover the first
county draft.
Although in a number of cases ex
emption claims were made at the time
of registration, it was pointed out this
morning by officials that new claims
mnst be entered by drafted men, and
that proof of such claim must be
made within 10 days. In spite of
having made a claim, however, it is
necessary tor conscripts to present
themselves for examination on the
day named in their call.
Notices will be rraailed by the local
board as soon as officials orders have
been received.
