2 ROYAL COUPLE GO VISITING IN AIR ACROSS CHANNEL flWk Escort of Three Belgian Planes Guards King Albert and Queen Elizabeth By Associated Press liMkdon, July 11.—A royal air eacort of three Belgian seaplanes guarded King Albert and Queen Elizabeth on their flight over the channel from Belgium to England Saturday morning on a trip which marked the first tlmo in history that any ruler has ever made a flight from one country to another. The royal couple traveled in separate seaplanes each operated by a Belgian army aviator. On the British side of the channel the king landed first near a British warship off Dover. The queen descended soon afterwards, her seaplane also landing near a warship. They started from the Bel gian coast and made the trip to England in about fifty minutes. The. purpose of their visit to England waif to attend the silver anniversary of King George and Queen Mary on Saturday. King's First Visit During War This is the first time since the war began that King Albert has vis ited I.*>ndon and virtually the first time since August, 1914, that he has been outside his native land. The only time that King Albert has been outside of Belgium has been during one or two informal trips into France. Queen Elizabeth was most enthu siastic about the voyage, telling abput it wherever she went and whenever any one asked the details of the trip. The first few days after he arrived King Albert said he would rather not have the newspapers tell of his trip. Both the king and queen wore aviation costumes which they had previously used. The queen's maid of honor and the king's entourage came by boat and rail. Whether the royal couple will return by seaplane or by boat has not been announced. Few Knew of Flight No formalities marked their de parture from Belgium, few, with the exception of Belgian officials, being aware they were to take the trip. With the exception of Vice Admiral Sir Roger J. B. Keyes, commanding the English channel squadron, and several other high British officials, no one in England knew of their coming. Belgian scout machines started first, then came the sea planes bearing the king and qjieen, with another scout bringing up the rear. j MIDPLETOWR ] New Work For Women at Royalton; Six Royalton Youth Become Marines Royalton borough council met on Tuesday evening.

Arthur Lynch, Na tionalist, who recently accepted a commission in the British Army and has come to Ireland to assist in re cruiting, has sent to Col. Roosevelt an eloquent appeal in which he says: "Send me a word of encourage ment, or, better still, my great and splendid friend, come in all your prestige and power of in fluence, and help me win the souls of the young men of Ireland to the Allies' cause. "There are grave and deep diffi culties, lamentable stories of cheated hopes, unrecognized rights and hatreds for wrongs inflicted In the past. But one feature throws these matters into the proper perspective the fact that the Germans are thundering at the gates of Paris, are hammering at the Channel ports. If they win it will be needless to make plans for Ireland or dream dreams of liberty. Potsdam will take care of Erin. "When the Stars and Stripes was raised over the cause, when once 'Old Glory' had blown out her folds, the emblem of liberty, a sign of pro tection to millions of Irishmen, I had hoped that opposition to the Al lies would cease. But ancient wrongs and present resentment proved too strong. "We must win the souls of these young men. Ireland must and shall fill with great deeds the page of his tory reserved for her. The western front is the Mecca of true believers in liberty. Therefore, once more, write or come, my illustrious friend and join your gehius and authority to my faith and enthusiasm, and we will do the magic thing and lift the squabble into the atmosphere of deeds that will shine bright in the eye of time."
