CALLS FROM FLIERS ARE CRUEL HOAX ---- Chicago, Aug. 26.--As much mystery tonight surrounded the fate of the Rockford-to-Stockholm fliers as when they vanished a week ago. During a week of hunting for Bert ssell and Parker Cramer, the aviftors who disappeared while flying from Cochrane, Ont. to Mount Evans, Greenland, the only definite fact developed was that a plane believed to be the Greater Rockford passed over two small villages in Southwest Greenland last Sunday morning. A search on land and sea was ' redoubled during the week when amateur radio operators in several cities reported the receipt of mes- sages signed 'Rockford Fliers" and stating the airmen were down on a small island in the North At- lantic. Radio experts, however, have characterized the messages as a hoax, perpetrated by some ama- teur, and on Saturday the Execu- tive Committee of the American Radio Relay League at Hartford, Conn., took action by offering a reward of $500 for information leading to apprehension of broad- easters of the messages, Conducting Search for Missing B.C.

In civilian clothes he was often mistaken for a profes- sor. . Tall, thin nearly to gauntness, this soldier had rather a clerical appear- ance and his resemblance to the late Cardinal Mercier, of Belgium, both physically and in manner, often was remarked upon. He commanded the group of arm- ies, including two American divisions, which, between Soissons and Chat. eau Thierry, on July 18, 1918, struck the powerful blow that started the military power of the German Em- pire rocking. But this aesthetic look- ing man loved the good things of life. An expert gourmet, he liked to wash down with the best vintages of Burgundy or Bordeafx wines, the = nowned dishes of his country's cuis sine, 3 Admired America A great admirer of America and Americans, when he returned from an extended visit to the United Sta. tes in 1921, he brought back with him only one grievance. "Your countrymen can not cook," he said, "They have me on the verge of dyspepsia. Their cuisine is too heavy." Then he added with a merry twin- kle in his eye: "I don't suppose even French cui- sine would taste good with ice wa- ter," He was the greatest booster that American soldiers ever had among the military men in France. "The American soldiers who, with the, Senegalese and Moroccan divi- sions, formed the end of the wedge driven into the German lines between Soissons and Chateau Thierry in July, 1918, were the equals of any soldiers ever gotten together in any army at any time in the history of the world," he once said. "They were the finest men physi- cally that I have ever seen, brave and of courage amounting at times to temerity and which had to be re- strained instead of fanned" _ Marshall Fayolle was born at Puy, in the Department of the Haute Lorie, May 14, 1852, His parents chose for him a mili- tary career in which he entered at first without enthusiasm. He would have preferred to become' a writer, At the Polytechnic School, which he joined in 1873, he decided to devote special attention to artillery, A first lieutenant in 1877, he was a captain at thirty years of age, ra- ther a rare occurrence in the French army.

SATURDAY Premier Ferguson Says Em- pire Leadership Will Be Maintained Toronto, Aug. 27.--The fact that the British Empire is the leader in world activities and remembrance of the part that the Army and Navy has played in the affairs of Empire were truly emphasized in Exhibition City on Saturday, It was Empire and Warriors' Day there, and features of the occasion were the addresses at she CN.E, dir- ectors' luncheon stressing Imperial thought, the warriors' parade during the afternoon, and the inspiring mili- tary tattoo with massed bands in front of the Grand Stand at night. And it was a record-breaking day. The attendance was 123,000, as com- pared with 104000 on the similar Saturday last year. Likes Word "Empire" Criticism of the description: British Commonwealth of Nations" and a de- claration that "King George is a liy- ing challenge to all croakers who would have us believe that the O!d Country is down and out, when the Old Country is not down and out and never will be," were the keynotes of the addresses at the directors' luncheon. The first came from Premier G, Howard Ferguson, the second from Colonel H. W, D, Cole, head of the Empire Marketing Board's represen- tation in Exhibition City, "I can plead guilty," said Premier Ferguson, "of using at times, inad- vertently, the term 'Commonwealth of Nations,' But I Idon"t like it. There should not be any Commonwealth of British Nations, There should be just one British Empire. And the fact that she is scattered throughout the Seven Seas is a real advantage, We have the benefit of production under all conditions that exist in the world --climatical, economic, and so on. We have the sum total of the world's best." Not "Down and Out" And the second speaker, Colonel Cole, having touched on the develop- ment of the Empire, intra-Empire trade, and conditions in England, de- clared "Long may the King live, He is of the Old Country and he is a living challenge to all those croakers who would have us believe that the Old Country is down and out. The Old Country is not down and out and never will be, please God." _ "Great Britain is the most inspir- ing place one can go to," the Pre- mier said, "And the British people are the most wonderful people in the world. No mattdr what their bur- dens, their difficulties, they deal with them among themselves: they're jeal- ous of the standing of the Empire and they resent interference from any outside source."

It so happened that on February 11, 1918, Colonel Cole was present with the Canadians in the Grand Place of a large French town, Vividly describ ing the events and emotions of the crowd of soldiers and French civils ians as the hour struck which signal- ized the cessation of hostilities, the speaker said: "The fact that the war had been won and ended was borne in on us with a suddenness so startl- ing that we could not realize it. As the bands swelled to the closing bars of the Marseillaise there was not a dry eye in the square. In a few min- utes reaction had begun. The crowds slowly melted and everyone longed to do something, roe and at once, but, alas, the shops were empty! or closed, save one, a lace shop, and! an immediate demonstration of our| innate and long suppressed yearning to business and trade took place.
