Criticisms of Address.

Washington, July 10.-President Wilson's address today to the senate transmitting the peace treaty was praised by Democratic leaders as one of his best state papers, but Repub- lican senators generally were inclined to criticize it. Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts, the Republican leader, made no comment and Senator Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania, declined to comment.
 Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, one of the leading opponents in the senate of the League of Nations, also declined to comment, except to say that President Wilson completely answered" his own argument that the League of Nations is league for peace, by his statement that it is formed as an alliance of war" Senator Shoot, Republican of Utah, characterized the address as another Wilsonian essay, but not quite up to the standard
 Senator Harding, Republican, of Ohio, a member of the foreign rela- tions committee, said the address was the appeal of the internationalists and utterly lacking in ringing Ameri- canism."
 Senator Moses, Republican, of New Hampshire, declared the address to be an appropriate description of the League of Nations as international "come on' game, and 1t appears to me that any country that wishes to work the international badger game will find the sliding panel with which to operate"
 Ut was a fine presentation of the case" said Senator Hitchcock, Dem ocrat, of Nebraska 1t was dis passionate and convincing statement of the reasons that led the representa- tives of one billion people to agree on it's reorganization of the world"
 Senator McCumber, Republican of North Dakota, a supporter of the League of Nations, said the address was ''very impressive"
 HThe address," said Senator Swan son, Democrat, of Virginia, "is mag niicient, able, eloquent and inspiring. The reasons presented for the ratifca- tion of the treaty, including the League of Nations, were strong, CO., gent, and unanswerable."
 "I think" said Senator Williams, Democrat, of Mississippi, "that in breadth of vision, in height of hu- manitarianism, in fundamental world statesmanship, and in delicacy of dovetailed English, it is the greatest thing he has ever uttered. His words are fitting close to his magnificent and unselfish and, upon the whole, ef- fective work at Paris"
 q thought" said Senator Chamb erlain, Democrat, of Oregon, "it was a splendid address, covering the sub iect concisely and in way that will make it's way to the hearts of the American people,"

Arks-isas Men Tried Winter Season
 While We Enjoyed Summer.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, July 1l.--A. V. John son and Andrews Scott. two of Little Rocks most prominent young men, returned yesterday from a three months tour of South America. They went thru the Panama Canal, and then down the Pacific coast, to Santiago, Chili, where they crossed the Andes to the east side of the continent. In one of the small republics they ran into an incipient revolution, but the eonsiprators were thrown into jail and that was the end of it. At Monti- videe they called on U. s. Consul Jeff freys of Newport, Arkansas, and were most cordially received. This is the winter season in South American countries, and the travellers found the weather delightful

Stowaway on R-34 Faces Trial With
 out Worry.

New York, July 14-Altho William Ballentyne, twenty-two, North Coun- ty Englishman who was a member of the original crew of the R-34 as rig ger, is to be tried by military court martial for slowing away on the big dirigible when she "hopped off" from Scotland, he is not the least concerned about his plight.
 Instead, he is happy as a lark be- cause he gained the distinction of be- ing the first stowaway on lighter than-air ship in transatlantic flight.
 When the big dirigibIe landed at Roosevelt Field, Mineola, L. l., Bal lentyne was the happiest member of the crew. He had achieved his ambi- tion, so what mattered it that he was to face military court?

Trip Is 5000 Miles Long.

By changing the landing place to Pullman, it was estimated, unofficially, that her trip would total about three thousand miles. Her westward course from East Fortune to Mineola was thirty-two hundred miles and was made in 108 hours 10 minutes.
 Up to the time the R-34s arrival over Clifden she had averaged about forty miles an hour Her early speed was much greater than that, averag- in gnearly eighty miles an hour for several hours and at one time reach ing nearly one hundred miles an hour, but engine trouble yesterday forced Scott to reduce speed.

London, July 12.-The air ministry calculated at midnight that the R-34's landing time would be about o'clock Sunday morning.
 The Putnam airdrome has received a wireless message from the R-34 saying that she expected to attempt a landing there about 6 o'clock, Green wich time, Sunday morning.
 Over the northeast coast of Ireland the R-34 was making sixty knots, ac- cording to the report received here. She had kept on her course for East Fortune, but turned southeast and headed for Pullman.
 After passing the Irish coast, how ever, Major Scott, in command of the dirigible, did not communicate with the ministry for hours. His last re- port was that the R-34 was crossing Ireland high up in clear sky with a following wind.
 Storm Forced Change in Course.
 Pullman, Eng, July 12.-The British dlrlglble R-34 was expected to com plete the first round trip trans-Atlan- tic flight early tomorrow morning
 The R-34's landing place was sud denly switched by the air ministry from East Fortune, her starting point to this town, because of storm over Scotland. The atmospheric disturb ances grew, however, and late today it was decided that the R-33, sister craft of the history making dirigible, would not fly out to meet her, as had been planned.
 About $50 men were ready to aid in hauling the R-34 down and housing her safely in her hangar. Hundreds of flares will be employed to light up the landing field and serve as a guide to her.
 The R-34 left Mineola, N. r., at 8 a. m. Greenwich time) Midnight New York time) Thursday. Major Scott predicted, just before leaving, that she would make it in seventy hours. As it is, it is probable the journey will require less than eighty hours.
