ENGLAND NEEDS $4,000 900 900
TO BALANCE HER ACCOUNTS

Edinburgh, Wednesday, Oct. 15.--Sir
Donald Malcolm, NJ. P, in a speech to-
night said that England's present finan
cial situation is most appalling. The
deficit for the first six months OF the
present fiscal year, he said is 2S1 900
900 pounds, exceeding by $4,000 OOO
pounds the deficit for the whole year
as estimated by Austen Chamberlain
chancellor Of the exchequer. The latter
Sir Donald said, would have to borrow
500, 900 900 pounds to balance his ac
counts, and this situation, he contin
ued. is serious enough to warrant an

Smith Is Out of Race

Washington, oct. 16.-Capt. Lowell
II. Smith, leader of ithe westbound
return flight in the continental
airplane races, is definitely out of the
contest and will return to his post
by rail, it was stated today at air ser
vice headquarters here. His machine
was destroyed accidentally by fire last
night after he had made a safe landing
at the Buffalo control station, but the
ruling made was that inasmuch as the
flight was to test reliability of planes
primarily, Captain Smith could not be
permitted to continue his flight to san
Francisco in another ship.

CRANK SHAFT IN AIR

Washington, Oct. 16-Regardless Of
the rules of the contest Lieut.. May.
nard will be permitted to continue his
return flight across the continent if
another plane can be found for him
in time. air service officials announc.
ed. They believe a servicable ship is
available near the place where he
landed with u broken crank shaft.
Chicago, Oct. 16.-SeVen are dead In
the trans.continental air race, Lieut..
b. W. Maynard, somewhere in Nebras.
ka or Iowa, e..pects to spend tonight
in Chicago, and Capt. Lowell II. Smith,
his nearest competitor. is out of the
race at Buffalo, ~ Y. Major Spatz now
is second.
There has been rain in the last "a
hours throughout the territory through
which Maynard must fly today, but this
morning as he forges eastward the
clouds are lifting. and as he strikes the
halfway mark on the journey east it
begins to seem possible that he will
make Chicago before dark. AT 10:47
this morning he reached st. Paul. Neb
and had 563 miles between him and
Chicago.
Lieut.. Alexander Pearson, who spent
the night ut Reno New. is probably
third in the race. He is Maynard's
nearest competitor in the eastbound
journey and may run Major Spatz a
close race for second place.
The death total in the race today stood
at seven, leaving 80 pilots in the con.
test. Lieut.. French Kirby, pilot, and
Lieut.. Stanley O. Miller, observer, were
killed yesterday, when their plane fell at
Castle Rock, Utah. Others killed in
the race We're Maj. II. ID. CriSsey,
Lieut.. II. V. Wales, Sergeants Vlrgie
Thomas and w. II. hewitt and Observer

OF those remaining in the race, six
have completed half their trip by
landing at the Mineola field and nine
westbound flyers have reached san
Francisco. Twenty four others still are
on the first leg of their flight. scat
tered at various control stations across
