Giant British Dirigib|e Lands at
MineoIa, n. Y, After an
Exciting Air Trip.
NEARLY OUT Ct FUEL
Lighter Than Air Machine Makes Trip
From Scotland to United States
Without Halt in 1Oe Hours
and ~ Minutes.

Mineola, N. Y, July S.-Great Brit.
aims super-dirigible, the R-34, the first
lighter-than.air machine to cross the
Atlantic ocean, anchored here at
Roosevelt flying field after an aerial
voyage Of l0S hours and IL minutes,
which covered $3.50 knots or approx
mately $500 land miles.
Passing through dense banks OF
clouds, with the sun and sea visible
only at rare intervals, the R.34 was
forced to cruise 1850 knots to reach
Trinity Bay, N. F., from East Fortune,
Scotland, and 1880 knots from there to
Mineola.
When the super-airship arrived here
she had left only enough petrol to
keep her moving 80 minutes longer.
her crew, almost sleepless for four
and q half days, was weary almost to
the point of exhaustion, but happy at
the successful completion of an epoch
making trip. The return voyage will
be started Tuesday at 8 a. m.
Crew Hasoard From Vigil.
Haggard, unshaven, their eyes
bloodshot from the long vigil and lines
Of care bitten deep into their faces,
Maj. G. H. Scott. the commander, and
his officers showed plainly the effects
Of the anxious hours through which
they lived while they were cruising
over the far reaches of Canada and
the Bay Of Fundy, beset by fog, heavy
winds and terrific electrical storms.
1T seemed as though the atmos.
phere was haunted by 5000 DEVILS"
said Lieut.. Guy Harris, the meteoro-
logical officer.
With the R-34 long overdue at it's
destination, petrol supply running low,
and buhfeted by strong head winds
Major Scott decided, while over the
Bay, of Fundy. to send a wireless call
to the American Navy department to
prepare to give assistance if it were
needed. This was merely measure
OF precaution and did not indicate dis
couragement.
Hoodoo Lifts.
While destr0yers and submarine
chasers were racing to her assistance,
the R-34 was plugging steaGlly ahead
on the way to Mineola. OIste clear Of
the Bay of Fundy the atmospheric
hoodoo, which had beset the craft
from the time it took the air, was
gradually left in its wake.
The R-34 headed southwest out
across the Atlantic along the coast of
Maine, her nose pointed for Cape Cod,
with the United States destroyer Ban
croft hanging on her tail and in con-
slant wireless communication with
her. The destroyer stuck in the wake
of the air monster, running under
forced draft until Cape Cod was
reached, and then the dirigible cut
across lots"
1t had been decided on the voyage
along the coast that unless favoring
wind came up the R,34 would be-
forced to land at Montauk Point, and
wireless message was sent out max
ing that announcement. Fortune I'm
ally favored the dirigible and the wind
veered to her favor.

Those Yankee VandaIs.

A huge electric cross formed part
of a German holiday celebration in
one of the bridgehead towns. On New
Years eve a private had "fraternized"
to the extent Of several schnapps and
was walking toward his billet when
he came upon a small group Of Ger
mans.
"Nob-end," said the buck genially.
"Schoen," answered the admiring
German, looking up at the sign.
The buck looked up. ia wohl."

The President', Tour.

For several months the Presidents
opponents have had sort Of "open
season" of criticism of him and his
policies and proposals. While he was
busy in the solution of the worlds big
gest problem . large number Of his
fellow countrymen were engaged in the
easiest of all tasks-finding fault. So
mean and petty and spiteful has been
some Of this carping that one can hard
~ escape believing its authors would
have found rs much satisfaction in his
failure (if he had fsiled) as other more
patriotic Americans have derived from
his successes.
But . few weeks hence the President
10 to tour the country and meet friends
and foes face to face and give the
American people an account of his
stewardship. He will at the same
time doubtless afford them some un-
derstanding of the tremendous difficult
ties that confronted him in the Peace
Conference and submit to them the
greatest Of all mordern achievements
in statesmsnship-the League of Ma
lions.
Those who have misunderstood, those
who have judged hastily and those who
have been misled will have the truth
from the Presidents lips, and will be
convinced. Only the partisan and the
narrow traditionalist may be expected
to remain proof against facts and
reason.

Americans Led In Aviation Fes

Americans Led In Aviation Feat.
The first aviators to fly from or to
the deck Of a warship were Americans
Eugene Ely flew from the deck Of the
scout cruiser Birmingham on Novem-
Der IA, 1910, and on January 1s, 1911,
the same aviator in a flight made by
him at San Francisco alighted on the
deck of the 5attleship Pennsylvania.
He then made a return flight from the
deck Of that warship. Other Amer
lean aviators have since performed the
same feat.

Rtpubliean Effrophy.

In q recent speech at Philadelphia,
Representative Gillett of Massachu-
sstts, whom the Republicans have
chosen for Speaker, called President
Wilson dreamer and an idealist. More
than that, Mr.. Gillett said the Presi-
dent sis an egotist; he is not q man OF
practical affairs. And the Republi-
can leader added: 1.-The people do not
want repetition of the INDIGESTION, ap-
parent aimlessness and the laundering
Of the past few years in Washington. y
The record of the Democratic party
during the last several years of control
will bear comparison with that set up
By the Republicans who held the reins
Of government unbrokenly from 1896
to 1912.
Mr. Gillett's party conducted the war
with Spain. Al wars 60, it wasn't
much of . war; about one per cent a.

world war, which was conducted with
about one hundred times - much eff
cheney. It wasn't fought long enough
ago for the public to have forgotten
the embalmed-beef scandal, the kind OF
food tho soldiers ate; the plaques that
swept them away in the camps until
the death rate appalled, the country,
because of poor sanitation, Or no sani-
tation at all, and . hopelessly incom-
petent medical service. Nor has the
country forgotten that favoritism ruled

in Cuba with q handful of men, with
that Of Pershing in France with two

dence of Republicans in mentioning
such . thing as ''indecision," ''aim-
lessness" or ''blundering."
During the successive administra-
tions from 1896 to 1912, Republicans
talked of banking reform; the Demo
Gratis established the Federal Reserve
System; Republicans talked of farm
loans; the Democrats established the
Farm Loan Bank system under which
farmers have borrowed nearly $780,
600, 600 at low rate of interest and on
very long terms. The Democratic ad-
ministratioh substituted deeds for
words.

CHICAGO, Jan 4.-The defence closed
its case shortly before noon to-day in the

In regard to an editorial published In

ton OF the I. ". w. officials in Chicago.
The editorial stated that the defendants
were not traitors and that the Govern
ments method OF dealing with radicals
was asinine.
Berger said that while he did not write
the editorial. 1t expressed his views at
that time.
1T considered that the l. W. w. were
like the French syndicalists. and be-
lieved this Government could get along
with them like the French Government
does with their extreme radicals" Ber-
ger said.

calls, but not traitors. They were nc

their principles"
