PILOT DROPS MAIL. Where there are garrisons of National Guardsmen and United States marines in Nicaragua with no landing fields, marine aviators fly over dropping mail, medicine and cigarettes. Captain George L. Maynard, of the Marine Corps, related that while he was in Jinotega recently an aviator dropped a copy of the New York Times from a high altitude and the paper struck a bullock squarely between the eyes, knocking it to the ground. After a short time the bullock arose bewildered and fled into a wood. So great is the force of the impact when articles are dropped that at times the containers are broken.
