miles eastward Of the banks Of New Found

There is the remOtest possibility that the
America, relieved Of the weight of the
crew and lifeboat, may in some unvarying
westerly blow, be waited across to Europe
though this is regarded as unlikely as the
dirlgible, weakened by, the pounding
equilibrator, was losing gas. The gas bag
may find itself caught in some tropical
gale and be blown over. the. Atlantic sea-
board. The best belief among aeronauts
today is that 1t win never be seen again.
WeIImRn Talks of the Voyage.
Wellman says that after working well
to sea on Sunday the dirigibls was caught
in a thirty -mile northwest blow, which
carried the America clear off her course.
Night came and the equiibrator jerked
and bumped over the waves, threatening
the America with constant destruction.
The members of the crew were calm, but
greatly exhausted and one after the other
went to sleep expecting to wake up in
the sea. Every effort was conferred on
keeping the America afloat and gasoline
was tossed overheard. The equilibrator
kept up it's pounding and threatened to
sweep away the nfeboat.
wellman told the Trents passengers that
course was laid for the Azores, but a
veering wind made il impossible to. reach
the islands with reduced gasoline Ber-
muda was the next hope OF the party.
Monday night more gasoline and some
damaged machinery were jetlsoned 10

The Trent was sighted two hours away
and signalled. The lifeboat was stay
launched, Captain Vaniman bringing the
America down close 10 the waves, while
Simon directed the release of the lifeboat.
The nfeboat was struck a glancing blow
by the equilibrRtor which nearly capsized

party removed from the airship, the
America shot up high in the air and dis
appeared quickly in the distance.
The loss of the dirigible was witnessed
without regret according to Wellman, as

the equilibrator.
wellman believes that the feat Of cross
ing the Atlantic in a gas bag may be ae-
compnshed, but that a larger and stronger
air craft will have to be built He SAYS
the equilibrator was the mistake Of the
expedition.

very great weight to political consideration
in making his selection.
While the president is considering both
Senator Root and Justice White, he has
not as yet given up the idea Of appointing
Justice Hughes. Some time ago il seemed
the latter was to be appointed; but the
fact that he is seeking opinions both az to
Justice White and Senator Root is taken
to indicate Mr.. Taft has not made up his
mind.
None of the supreme court appointments
will be made until congress meets in De-
