voyage of l08 hours and IL min
utes. which covered 5,634 miles.
Passing through dense banks of
clouds, with the sun and sea visible
only at rare intervals, the R-34 was
forced to cruise 5000 miles to reach
Trinity bay, Newfoundland, from
East Fortune, Scotland, and 1914
miles from there to Mineola.
When the super-Zeppelin arrived

said 1t. Guy Harris, the meteoro-
logical officer.
With the R-34 long overdue at its
destination, petrol supply running
low and buffeted by strong winds,
Major Scott decided Saturday while
over the Bay of Fundy to send
wireless call to the American Navy
department to prepare to give as.
sistance if it were needed. This
was merely measure of precaution
and did not indicate discourage
ment. While destroyers and sub
marine chasers were racing to its
assistance, the R-34 was plugging
steadily ahead on the way to Nine
ola. Once clear of the Bay of Fun
dy, 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, its nose pointed for Cape
Cod, with the United States Destroy
er Bancroft hanging on its tail and
in constant wireless communication
with it. The destroyer stuck close
in the wake of the air monster, run

New U. S.-France Treaty
Described as "Premature
Obituary Of League Of Ma
tions," by Senator Borah.
WILSON TRADED WITH
CLEMEMCEAU, CHARGE
asked to Draw Line Through
Washington's Farewell Ad-
dress and Enter Into Special
Alliance" Affirms Idahoan.

Washington, July, 6.-The new
treaty with France, by which that
nation is promised American aid in
case of unprovoked attack by Ger
many, was described as "the pre-
mature obituary Of the league of
nations as a league of peace" in a
statement issued by Senator Borah,
republican, Idaho.
The senator also charged the
promise was made by Pesident Will
son to purchase French support for
the league plan.
"The French British United
States alliance" said the statement,
"is based upon the theory of war;
it is made in expectation of war,
it is like all such alliances, war
alliance. Could there be more
open confession by the authors Of
the league that the league means
neither peace nor disarmament.
Raped Special Alliances.
"A short time before the presi-
dent left for Europe he said: 'Spe-
cial alliances have been the prolific
cause in the modern world of the
plans and passions that produce
war Yet, Notwithstanding this
statement, we are now asked to
draw a line through Washington's
farewell address, put behind us the
policy of our government during its
entire life and enter into a special
alliance, an alliance which will in
clude Great Britain and France and
possibly Italy and Belgium.
Upon the same occasion he de-
clarcd there can be no alliance
within the general league of ma
tons In the face of this statement
there is to be formed within this
league a special alliance and this al
lance is to be formed upon the in
itiative of the authors of the league
of nations.
European System Wins Out.
Upon another occasion, after the
president had most earnestly de-
nounced such alliances as being the
authors of the wars and the intol-
erable conditions of Europe, he used
this language: The United States
will enter into no special arrange
ments or understandings with par
ticular nations The fact is the
European system has won COM
pletely. Clemenceau declared for
special alliances. Wilson met the
challenge in his speech at Manches-
ter, England, but Clemenceau had
his way.
This alliance is the premature
obituary of the league of nations as
league of peace. The real expla-
nation of this situation is this, that
Clemenceau demanded the special
alliance as a consideration for his
support of the league of nations.
And we traded with him."

The three are Jess Howard, R.

They were heavily armed when ar
rested.
Detective Robey, stationed on the
Douglas street bridge, saw two men
in one Buick touring car and an
other in another Buick touring car
cross the bridge into Omaha Satur-
day night at midnight. The actions
of the three men aroused Robey's
suspicious.
He trailed them all night until
they stopped outside the city limits
of East Omaha.
Sergt. Art Cunningham and De-
tectives Janda, Jensen and Hays
went to assist Robey. They sur
rounded the two cars and arrested
the three men before they had time
to draw revolvers.
Howard admitted that he escaped
from the penitentiary at Lincoln re-
Gently, police say. He was SEN
fenced to five years. Imprisonment

ply of ammunition were taken from
the men.
Howard and Stone were charged
with carrying concealed weapons
and are being held for investigation.
Cabney was charged similarly and in
addition with illegal possession OF

CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT
PICTURES REJECTED

Columbus, O., July 6.--The Will

rejected Sunday by Maurice S.
Hague. chairman of the Ohio board
of moving picture censors. Mr..
Hague was the only member of the
board of three to review the picture
and it is possible the other two
members of the board will vote to
permit it being shown in Ohio.
Mr.. Hague declared such human
bu.chery should not be shown
where our boys and girls may
Sc, it."
He stated that as the film had
been rejected, persons or firms
sh wing the picture in Ohio would
be prosecuted, liable to fines from
$l0O to $500 and years imprison-
ment." ---
1t is probable the pictures may be
seen in other states, if passed by
the respective state boards, because
the mayor of Toledo in granting
the permit termed it boxing con-
test" A federal law permits the
