NEW YORK, Dec., 2$— Recent re
%
ports from Europe state that France's
greatest athlete and best known avi
ator, Maurice Royau, is missing. The
news has caused the greatest sorrow,
as Royau, who was recently made an
officer of the Legion of Honor, with
the inscription, “the bravest pilot and
the most complete athlete who makes
French aviation illustrious" — was
known all over France. Starting in the •
war ns a second-class private, Royau,
who captained the Rugby teams
against England. Wales, New Zealand
and Scotland, and who was a great
Association football player and all
round athlete, soon became an aviator
and lieutenant, gaining twelve war
crosses, the Military Medal, the D. S.
0., and Hie Cross of the Knight of the
Legion of Honor. Before being made
an officer in the Order he had down
ed :;r> Germans before he was himself
brought down in flames in the Ger
man lines. Boyau was to have been
presented on a date shortly after his
disappearance with a diamond and
platinum Legion of Honor cross
bought by a halfpenny subscription
made among the athletes in France.

quired every sailor to know how to

champions soon would be heard frorn
