The University Missourian of Co

Industrial edition with 26 pages of
thoroughly upto-date news matter,

PROTEST OF THE
SWISS AERO CLUB

New York. Dec. 2S.-America's rep
resentatives at the meeting of the In
ternauonal AerouautIc Federation In
Paris, January 10. arc to face n now
and unexpected protest. Tho Swiss
Aero club, according to a communica-
ton received from the headquarters
Of the federation. has filed formal
protest charging that the Internation-
al balloon race held at ST. Louis in
October was not organized properly.
The race was won by MesSrS. Hawley
and Post in the America ii. IL Is
understood that the Swiss club has no
fault TO fnd with the race Itself or
with ils results. but only with the
management of affairs In st. Louis up
to the time the balloons left.
A statement by CoTtlandt Field
Bishop regarding the matters under
protest Is as follows:
Conditions at st. Louis were not
as good as might have been desired
but | have no bTeaSon to believe they
were not MS good as possible. In spite
OF the fact that two features We're not
satisfactory and served to handicap
the starting Of the balloons, they were
started just as promptly as when the
race was started In Zurich, SwitZer-
land
Both the handlcaps at st, Louis
were due TO conditions over which the
Aero Club OF st. Louis. which was
in charge had no control One was
the supply of gas. which was suffi-
cient, but slow. This was due 10 the
fact that the gas works were at the
time undergoing q general overhaul
Ing and were unable TO meet the de-
mand in the desired time. II took
twelve hours to oil the balloons. where
as, If the works had been In their
normal condition, TWO hours would
have been ample for the purpose
Another trouble was in the force OF
men in charge OF the field. the infa'
ton of the balloons and the general
preparations for the flight. They were
militiamen and others employed for
the purpose. and while willing and
faithful. had never had any experience
In ballooning. In 1907 we had the use

Roosevelt issued an order prohibiting

The St Louis Aero club has been
notified Of the Swiss protest and ask
ed to furnish data with which to meet
It, have no doubt VIC will be able 20
overthrow the protest. but it may re-
suit in stricter regulations for the race
hereafter.
1T Is a grave question in that event
where to start the race of 1911. 1t
must be at some city where a good
supply OF gas can be obtained. and
