Prague, Oct. H. The Czechoslo
vak contingent of 1,024 sick and
wounded soldiers who recently pass
ed through the I'nlled States on
their roundabout way home from the
Siberian front, have arrived safely
In I'ragiie.
Prague declared a holiday upon
the arrival of the veterans. The sta
tion and all streets leading to It
were packed with thousands of peo
ple when the convoy trains drew In.
As the Czoch veterans descended
they were swept off their feet by the
rush of'relatives and friends, cheer
ing, shouting, crying and laughing.
For more than five years the rela
tives of these men had been without
mttaua of ooiuwuukUou with Uiein.
Tragedy mingled with Joy. Groups
of mothers,' wives and sisters could
lie seen surrounding their long lost
men, while beside them would be
other women searching the faces of
the returning veterans for the sight
of a loved one, that. In many cases
will not return.
"The 'American Hed Cross work-
era who accompanied the Czechs on
their 15,nno-mlle Journey left the
train two hours after all the men
had gone." said Tr. Jariies H. In
gram, of Trenton, N. J one of the'
lied Cross party. "We supposed the
ovation was over. Tint no soner were
we outside the station than we were
surrounded by hundreds of people.
They cheered for America and deck
ed our auto In flowers. Every sol
dier saluted us as we passed. This
continued for Wock after block.
"After we reached our hotel, gov
ernment authorities came Individu
ally to thank us for what America
had done In the repatriation of the
CWh soldiers, pledging the coun
try's undying friendship for the
I'nlted Stales and Its people."

Word was received here toda

terday when the DolUvlUud plan
was wrecked at Ray Gold, Is recov
ering from the shock and talked
vaguely of the accident. The bodj
of Lieutenant Webb, who was in
stantly killed, will be taken to hit
home at Los Angeles for .burial.
.Mr. McGinn Is reported to still be
in a somewhat dazed condition and
could give very little Information
concerning the accident. He stated
What when the -plane passed bver

ently all right, although several peo
ple here could see one of the avia
tors out on the machine, evidently
trying to adjust some trouble. The
machine wa Tying low and Judging
from the sound, the engine was not
working perfectly.
C. A. IJnch, a garage man from
ithis city, was at Gold Hill when the
Dellavlland passed over that city.
He says the machine was flying not
over 7.1 feet above the housetops
and the engine did not seem to be In
perrect working order. The avia
tors were evidently looking for a
place to land.
Mr.. McGinn says the engine did
not begin to work badly until they
had reached Gold Mill, when they
began to search for a landing placet
He says that when they reached Ray
Gold the engine suddenly stopped
and the machine plunged to the
earth. Aside from these statements,
nothing more definite could be learn
ed from him today, owing to his
nervous condition. An inquest will
not lie held until Mr. McGinn re
covers sufficiently to give clear do
talla of what happened.
Mr. IJnch hurried from Gold Hill
to the scene of the accident and ar-l
rived there JiiBt after the two avia
iors Dim ips naa oeen removed from
the wreckage. He says iMeutenant
Webb's mask and one glove had
been removed. The machine, says
'Mr. II .Inch, is a total wreck

that there was plenty of gasoline In

is the first fatal airplane accident to

Waaulugton, Oct. 8. Presentation
of telegrams and letters which Sen
ator Brandegee, republican, Connec
ticut, said had tbeen sent to one or
his const! Intents by the league to en
force peace led to a spirited clash In
the senate.
The communication, he said, show
ed how the league was spending
money in an effort to enforce ratifi
cation of the treaty without amend
ment.
A number of telegrams asked the
recipient to telegraph his senator
and demand ratification "In a posi
tive and conclusive manner."
Senator Polndexter, republican
Washington, said there was "a great
manufactured propaganda," twins
waged by league chtfmptons and that
petitions came from persons without
any information on what the league
covenant actually provides.
Senator Hitchcock defended the
peace league, declaring it was "open
and legitimate."
"The organized opposition, he
continued, are the socialists, anar
chists and bolsheviki, with their pa
pers. They are the senators' allies.
they're his organization in this
fight."

Rome, Oct 8. Much excitement
and extended comment in the press
is caused by the reported receipt of
warning tram Great Britain and
the United States to Italy, with re
gard to Flume.
It is declared that the warning
from Great Britain stated in effect
that "If the present illegal situation
at Flume Is continued, Italy would
run the risk of being pot out of the
peace conference."
The Tribunal one of the principal
eommentors, declares that Italy Is
not alone responsible for the Flume
situation and attacks what It calls
the "preponderance" ot President
Wilson in the peace conference and
the alleged unwillingness of the al
lies to admit it.

garding the Flume situation: was
sect .to.fftaly, dfflctals 4irmld to

ultimatum, such as was suggested by
comment of the Italian press, had
