IRELAND LOSES 20,816
PERSONS IN 7 MONTHS
Emigration Has Decided Increase
Compared to Former Years

WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-Too many
Irish are leaving the home land this
year, according to the home govern
ment. A clipping from an irish journal
forwarded here by Deputy Consul J.
S. Armstrong of Cork states:
"The Irish emigration statistics
prove unsatisfactory, 1861 persons left
this country during July, as compared
with 1892 for July last year, an in
crease of 259. OF the emigrants 1907
were males and 764 females. In all,
2OS16 persons have left Ireland during
the first seven months of 1910, an in
crease Of 24O7 over the same period in
1907. The total emigration last year was
28677, and was the second lowest on
record for sixty years. If the same
ratio of increase is kept UP for the
remainder of this year emigration will
reach nearly $1,000 for the year"

AERIALISTS TRY
TO FLY The ALPS
Peruvian and American AViatorS
Find Weather Against Sue
cess in Bold Undertaking
WIND AT THE HIGH ALTITUDE
Crowd Cheers Flying Men When
They Set Into the Air
Despite Fog
WIND AT THE HIGH ALTITUDE
fAsso,,ated Press


RRIG. switzerland, Sept. 19.-Though
the weather was unpropitious for the
bold undertaking, Mr.. Weymann,
American, and George Chavez, the
Peruvian. attempted the cross-the-
Alps aeropIane flight today. Both
failed. but not until they had given
pretty exhibitions of high flying that
promised better success. in fair
weather.
During the night a stiff breeze was
blowing in the Simplon pass and the
mountain peaks were hidden IN a dense
fog. There seemed little prospect that
the competition would be begun today.
However, after daylight the wind had
gone down, and although it was still
cloudy. the intrepid Chavez and Wey-
mann decided to risk flight.
They got away with encouraging
cries from an enormous crowd that was
disappointed yesterday and had feared
that bad weather would compel an
other postponement today.
Chavez left the starting Rround-a
little uuadrilateral plateau overlook
ing the Rhone valley-first, and imme-
diately began to rise in sweeping
spirals until he had reached an alti-
tude above the towering mountain wall
opposite. Then he disappeared over the
granite shoulder that marks the en-
trance to the Saltine gorge A moment
later the watchers at that point saw
the monoplane wheel gradually descend
until it aIighted on a little grassy
slope at the foot of the sheer cliffs.
Weymann, who started a few moments
after Chavez, remained in the air eight
minutes. He encountered bafflinS
wind.
In landing at the bottom of the
Rhone valley he bent wheel of his
biplane.
CHAVEZ FLIES HIGH
Chavez reached an altitude of 7456
feet when he was caught in a violent
wind. He observed that the summit
of the Simplon pass was obscured by
heavy clouds and decided to return
rather than chance landing farther on
the rocks. He announced that he might
try again later in the day.
The other aviators who intend to try
for the cross-Alps prize are Cattaneo
and Paillette. The American uses a
biplane and the others monoplanes.
Terms of the competition provide that
the flight may be made at any time be-
tween today and September %. The
start must be near this point, at the
head of the Rhone valley, and the aYia-
tors must fly over the Simplon pass
and down across Lake Maggiere .tc
Milan, Italy. To clear Simplon pass il
will be necessary for the aviators tC
maintain an altitude of 700 feet in the
first half hour of the flight. The tota
distance to be covered is seventy-five
miles, and smoking fires and Other
signals will point the way.
The height of 7456 feet, attained by
Chavez, is within S63 feet of the Peru
VANS world altitude record, which has
been officially placed at S4O9 feet.
