The planes came to Wilmington tin ker orders of Major General Kenly, commander-in-chief of the army air service, leaving the training school at ,anerley field, Va., Saturday morning, comW by way of Franklin, Va., and Goldsboro. There were' five planes to siake the first lap, but on arrival at Franklin, one developed engine trou ble and returned to Langley field. The other four left Franklin Monday morn ing being detained there on account inability to obtain gas, arriving in 3oldsboro about noon. It was planned to reach Wilmington Monday afternoon but on account of further trouble in netting gas they had to remain in the Sfayne city until yesterday afternoon. Another reason for the delay in Golds 8pro was engine trouble caused by laving to use commercial gas -instead jf the high test gasoline the engines ire supposed to burn. At 1:59 the party left Goldsboro, reaching Wil niington an hour and six minutes later. Due to atmospheric coh.dit.ions. no ittempt was made to take a direct air course, the party following the ran--oad the entire distance of 84 miles. The height at which the men flew ilso varied, starting out at 600 feet. However most of the distance was :overed at a height of 6,000 feet, be ns well above a cluster of heavy :louds which they would have had to pass through had they been flying at v lower altitude. Upon reaching Wil-nino-tnn two O f th-e olane s -remained high in the air while two others came down considerably lower to loeate the .anding place. There was considerable difficulty txperienced in landing at Moftk field, it being attributed to. two causes. First, he people scattered all over the field. But this did not cause as much trou ble as the condition of the ground, j-hich was very soft and which was altogether responsible for the over lurning of one of the planes. Lieut. John P. Brooks,, in command sf the squadron, washe first to land, snd inspite of the sandy condition of .he terrain he made it safely but not without difficulty. The other plane to land in the Monk field was piloted 37 Lieut. K. S. Burge with Sergt. R. T. iorton as passenger. s . Lieutenant Burere was unable to and upon his first attempt on account ;f the field being filled with people, rtile his second attempt was more or less successful. He made a pretty Hp. striking the ground some 25 or !0 yards from where his machine was overturned. The soft dirt retarded the roeed of the wheels of the plane but :he pilot succeeded in keeping its ose out of the dirt by the skillful nanipulation of his rudders, for some istance, but eventually the tail of the nachine became elevated to such an istent that its nose struck the ground, urning completely over. The pilot and the passenger, who ffere securely strapped into their eats, were left hanging by the strap, lead down, but unhurt. They soon instranDed themselves -and erawled jut of the plane. The big machine Bade the turn just as nice as you 3lease. In fact, so well was it done hat had they not" Just: ' Witnessed a successful landing many would have nought it the proper way for an army !lane to land. A car in charge of a member-of the 5d Cross motor corps was dispatched o the citv for a rope which was fas- ened to the rudder, thrown -over the nachine and the tail pulled over into iosition with all ease. There were no ijuries to the plane, except one of the udders was bent' slightly" and "two of he supports on top were broken.-The "epairs will be of minor consequence, t was stated, and any delay that may e occasioned will result from the lime in getting parts, which may not 5e necessary. As soon as the planes made their ap searance over the city people began to 'ush to the field in anticipation of see ns the landing and of witnessing ex libition flights, and in a very short ime there were several hundred peo le gathered there. But they were dis ippointed in that they did not see any inhibition flights, and will not see any fom Monk field, as it was stated yes e'day afternoon by Lieut. A. H. Neitz, Publicity agent, that It would be next 0 impossible for the olanes to take to ;he air from this field on account of he soft dirt, and the machines will je taken down and hauled on a truck another point where a successful ght may be made. Lieutenant Neitz stated that If a food field for landing is found exhibi !n flights will be given before' the !(Wad leaves, but no positive state ment as to these flights could be made night as the matter of selecting landing place had not" been looked nt- However, it was stated y one Jf the pilots who landed at McClellan 'eld that this is an ideal plaee and 1 is very probable that flights will be Bde during the day, probably this ll'ernoon. .

Lieutenant LePrince Here in In- teres t of Work. Health Officials Hope to Stage an Edu cational Campaign to Enlist the Support of People in fight on - Malaria. The Hon. Franklin K. Lane, secre tary of the interior department, in spected the famous Bolton drainage district yesterday as the last feature of his two days visit to Wilmington in furtherance of his comprehensive plan, to homestead hundreds of thous ands of the country's soldiers how re turning home from the world wan He and his party were very forcibly struck with the vast possibilities of the immense 150,00 acre tract owned by the Waccamaw Lumber company, one of the largest lumber and shingle manufacturing concerns in the Eastern Carolina territory. Secretary Lane, H. T. Cory, engineer commissioner connected Svith the com mission to examine idle lands for the settlement of soldiers, and T. T. Cot ter, private secretary of the secretary or the interior, were guests of Hugh r.arae tlU yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock when they departed in automobiles as the guests of F. L. Finkenstaedt, president of the Wac camaw Lumber company. Others ac-; companying the party as guests of Mr. Finkenstaedt were C. Van Leuven, president of the Hugh MacRae com--pany (Inc.), and Editor T. W. Clawson, of. The Star. Bolton, the . mention of the large lumber and shingle plant of the Waccamaw company, is 28 miles from -Wilmington, located on the At lantic Coast Line, in Columbus county. On the trip down, Secretary Lane and Mr. Cory were greatly interested in the sections, of Brunswick and Co lumbus counties between Wilmington and Bolton. They v reached Bolton about noon and were taken directly through the large drained area of cut over , lands surrounding the lumber company's plant. Some 40,000 acres of the marvelously fertile lands have been reclaimed for agricultural pur poses and the company this year has cultivated: a farm of 900 acres of the land. Most of this land was a swamp region but it has been effectively drained by a system of some 30 miles of. canals. In i this area Secretary Lane and Mr. Cory had the opportunity of inspect ing one or tne most fertile regions in the whole of America. The rich swamp lands are in all stages of cul tivation, from lands completely cleared of stumpage and available for advanc ed farming. operations, to stump lands in cultivation and yet to be cleared of stumps, and thousands of other acres yet . in dense forests ready for the woodsman's axe and sooner or later to become productive farming propo sitions. Tfce reclaimed lands in all stages of cultivation are famous for corn production, and the party saw hundreds of acres of stump land with great crops of corn still unharvested. Corn still standing in the fields un injured in the fine Cape Fear climate was a veritable marvel to Secretary Lane and he was manifestly intensely interested. He crossed the bordering ditches into the fields and examined huge ears of corn hanging on the stalks, some with from one to three ears of fine corn. He was surprised to learn that this fine crop was "stuck corn," that is, corn planted by sticking holes among the stumps where no plowing could be done. The planting of the crop and the gathering of the corn was all there was to it no plow ing, no hoeing. The corn thus plant ed, stood in the fields to show for it self. Mr. Finkenstaedt explained that he has yet to pull the corn on 325 acres of land say about 10,000 bu shels of splendid corn yet standing in the- fields ungathered. Certainly it was a sight to see, and such keen ob servers as Secretary-Lane and Mr. Cory were . quick to observe the immense possibilities in such lands finally brought up to a high state of culti vation. . -The Waccamaw Lumber company's cleared lands are suitable for growing fine crops of cotton and tobacco, be sides every conceivable- product, but neither cotton, tobacco nOr peanuts were grown this year. The crop con sisted chiefly of corn, soy beans, velvet beans, clover and pasturage crops. The pastures are taking care of 63 head of cows and 100 head of hogs, livestock naturally being a part of the diversified scheme of farming adopted by Mr. Finkenstaedt. He is not only head of a great lumber and shingle industry, but Is conducting a grain and stock farm that is highly profit able under conditions yet in the pro cess of ultimate, development for high cultivation. On nine acres this year hye grew timothy and secured two cuttings of excellent hay from the land, the yield being -a. ton and a Kfelf per acre. During the coming year he proposes to add 60 acres of clover to his crop schedule. Mr. Finkenstaedt is simply demonstrating the possibilities in the reclaimed lands of his" company arid naturally .he exhibits the land's achievements with justified enthus iasm. Secretary Lane confesses that what he saw in this North Carolina region of alluvial soils of vast, productiveness was a ? veritable revelation. He was surprisedc.to find the like this side We the Mississippi river delta. He is amazed at tjie resources of this sec tion and realizes that it is capital and industry and thrifty people and com munity development on modern lines that is needed to make this section a veritable Eldorado of prosperous farms aftd happy and contented people. In this section he has seen enough to make him more enthusiastic than ever over his comprehensive and construc) tive national undertaking to Jiome stead American soldiers, even as the Canadian government is now doing in the grain-growing provinces of Mani toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. In those western provinces the dominion government proposes to spend $100, 000,000 to homestead thousands of the dominion's splendid soldiers. Secretary Lane saw enough in the Bolton drainage district to illumine his great vision for homesteading America's own soldiers of the world war. After seeing the Bolton possi bilities as to rich 'homesteads, the party dined at 2 p. m. at the Hotel Bolton, of which Mrs. I. Wilson is pro prietor. It was one of Mrs. Wilson's most sumptuous repasts, and what Secretary Lane said to her, as the most distinguished guest the hotel ever had, 'filled the bill as all the diners saw it. Mr Finkenstaedt took Secretary Lane and his party to Lake Waccamaw Thirteen Persons Died of Influenza and Complication During Month Va rious statistic of the Health Department. y ' -it The regular meeting of the board of health yesterday afternoon was featur ed by a discussion of mosquito control work wHich has been carried on here for several months by the United States public health service, with the co-oper ation of the city and county and the. local board of health. Lieutenant LePrince, who won fame on the canal in connection with the working out of the miracle of health and sanitation there, was present with Lieutenant Fuchs who has been directing the local work. Lieu tenant Le Prince delighted mem bers of thev hoard' by his interesting discussion of a subject which he has at his finger tips. The lieutenant wanted to know of the board the attitude of the people here toward the work and the pros pects of continuing it. He was told by Chairman McGHrt and other inembers that the people who understood what had been done and who had noted the improvement in malaria conditions, could be depended upon to support a continuance. The board heartily fa vored a continuance and the resump tion next spring of a more vigorous of fensive against the mosquito. Both Lieutenant LePrince and Lieu tenant Fuchs pointed out that the peo ple, wherever the work is carried on, are prone to judge its results by the house mosquito, which does not cause malaria. And here as elswhere, if the house mosquito still pesters the slum bers of a citizen, he at once comes to. the conclusion that the mosquito con trol work and money are wasted. Here, as elsewhere, the work, they stated, has been directed against anopheles mosquito, and to a very large extent, this menace to health' has been elimi nated. Greenfield lake, for instance, which was a perfect culture bed for the anopheles, has been cleared of the breeding places and no longer produces the mosquito. The great marsh be tween the two shipyards has been very largely drained by re-opened canals and tidegates, and with the installa tion of a large gate soon, that area will be made safe for health. Much of the Work done was planned with a view of protecting the shipyards first. . The shipyards are what brought the gov ernment health experts here. But the work has not been confined to that section of the community. A great deal of work has been done all around town, much of it the first rough work, such as ditching, that is necessary as a sort of foundation for the rest. Lieutenant LePrince is frankly de lighted with Wilmington and he wants the work to be carried on to its con clusion. Only some rough work will be continued during the winter, but in April or May, or whenever the mos quito season opens here, he hopes to be supported in a thorough clean-up of the mosquito pest all afound this city. Recognizing the fact that the public judges the invaluable work the health services does in regard to the an opheles by the continued presence of the house pest mosquito, he said that he purposed to attack the breeding places of the house mosquito next and rid the residential section of the pest. Meanwhile, he pointed out the value of an educational campaign, with il lustrated lectures, leaflets and articles on the mosquito, and Prof. Wasnington Catlett thereupon seized on the idea for his sehools and urged that he be given assistance, both in this way and materially, in stamping out malaria in the -northeastern part of the county, around Castle Hayne, on the New Bern road at ScJtts Hill, where he said con ditions are truly deplorable, practically every family suffering from maiaria until efficiency in school and on farm has been badly reduced. It was declared that if an interest ing educational campaign with movie pictures, were staged in the schools, showing how simple and inexpensive It , : T 1 44. ... i , 1 .4 is to Keep ciear oi iuainiw, n w,ii, arouse such interest that the whole people in town and country wouid heartily support the mosquito control work until New Hanover is liberated from a situation that is costing much suffering and much money in the re duced efficiency of numbers of people. Lieutenant LePrince said that it would be easy to arrange for this cam paign if the board" of health would ask Dr. W. S. Rankin of the state board to take it up with the surgeon general of the public health service. He further urged that New Hanover, which is re garded as a 'nucleus for this work, nhould have an exhibit at the next state fair, to disseminate the facts of mosquito control and health in spite of swamps. He suggestea mat ur. w. stiles and his Btaff now engaged in re search work here, would be interested in finding the worst malarial neignDor hood in New Hanover county, such as Professor Catlett said the northeastern section of the county is. Dr. J. C. Wessell member of the hoard, declared that the work done here already has shown tip appreciably in viia -nrar.tice. Malarial cases nave hn reduced to a great extent, he de dared, and emphasized that as a physi cian, he found improvement very nu tippahle Indeed. Dieutenant LePrince declared it is a shame that society allows malarial y,r.ftinnjj to exist where they can oasiiv he cleaned iip, so that little chil dren suffer and die, often apparently from other diseases, but if the facts were known, from malaria spread by hiosquitos that can be eradicated. He told how,' he kept a gang of workmen in the swamps of the Panama isthmus i hotter health than 800 United states marines enjoyed in their adja cent camp in the hills. He had found that where- malaria is eradicated fn a community, other ills are eradicated; the resisting power of the people rises and sickness and death are reduced, The lieuferfant asked about women's organizations and was assured by Dr. Slocum that the city had numbers of them: These, he said, are tne nnest agencies for arousing public interest in the subject; and u ne can arrange if. he rjurnoses to address them, or have some other public health service (Continued on rage oevenj. Besides a discussion of mosquito con trol and routine business, the board of health in its December meeting yes terday transacted no business of im portance. The new city chemist, R. G. Martin of Savannah, Ga., who has succeeded Chemist Adams, was present at the meeting. The monthly reports showed that the total death rate of white and black citizens In the city for November was 17.7. Eight white persons and five negroes died during the month of in fluenza in complication with pneu monia and other ills. The county death rate was not available. The death rate among the city's white population was 15.5 and among the negroes 20.3. The white birth rate for November was 19.6 and the colored 11.4, a total of 15.8 per thousand. There were 26 deaths among white persons and 26 among negroes. Three whites and one black among the deaths were non-residents. Seven white and five black persons under seven years of age died during the month. The water report for the month is not as good as the average. It was made by the retiring chemist, Mr. Ad ams, but the new chemist, Mr. Martin, explained that the condition of the water as revealed by the report was not good, though he did not think it bad enough to warrant alarm. Colon bacilli, evidence of pollution, were found slightly more numerous than usual. The water analysis follows: No. Tests. Max. Min.'
