Start Of R-34
 Or Trip
 Again Delayed

MINEOLA, N. Y, July S.-Major G. H. Scott, commander of the giant Brit ish dirigible RIA. tonight informed the crew that the start of the return voy age to Great Britain, scheduled for dawn tomorrow, would be delayed at least eighteen and possibly twenty four hours.
 This action was taken after receipt from the weather bureau at Washing ton of reports showing that whereas head winds over a considerable part of the course would be encountered to- morrow, a favorable southwest current probably would set in along the At lantic coast north of New York Thurs day or Friday.
 The dirigible again narrowly es- capped serious injury this evening when a sudden gust caught her tail swing ing it around in a semi-circle within thirty seconds, and dragging several score of soldiers with it. The rear gon- dola scraped along the ground, but the men succeeded in keeping it high enough to prevent it being damaged.
 Naval officials in charge of the ship while she is here, have been requested to obtain the following rations for tht return voyage:
 Two hundred pounds of bread, 12; pounds of cooked meat, 45 pounds O. cooked potatoes, 36 pounds of swee chocolate, six pounds of tea, pound cake, sugar, butter and few sundries
 Can't Fill Rum Ration
 One "sundry" which the departmen as yet has been unable to supply ii s25O worth of rum, which is part O the crews offiical rations. Lieutenan Colonel Frederick Lucas, commandin! the dirigible's advance party, said tha he requested the rum about ten day before the war time prohibition becam | effective, and that he understood al attempt was made to purchase it lat on the night of June 30, but it was un | successful.
