the wingfoot Lake Air Station, near
Akron, Ohio, to Cleveland. landing on
the roof of the Statler Hotel, Cis-
charging two passengers and imme1 "

miles distant.
This is the first time in the history
Of aeronautics in America that my
type of aircraft has been brought to
a quick and convenient stop in the
heart Of a large city for the purpose
Of landing passengers.
The occasion was the meeting and
dinner of the Cleveland Section of the
Society Of Automotive Engineers At

chief aero engineer OF the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company. and Maj.
c. H. Meanwhile, commander of the
Army Aircraft Detachment at Akron

Epson, who is the worlds char
pion balloonist. having won the last
great international balloon race At

acting as aide, in a 500-mile flight,
conceived the idea of making the trip
in a dirigible, and with the full CO.
operation of the army officers of the
dirigible school at Akron, who a =
ranged all details, was able to carry
out the project.
The performance was not staged IS
stunt" but to show the progress
that has been made in the develop

which difficult landings can be made
by experienced pilots.

in command of the A on this
memorable trip. "The demonstration
proves beyond doubt that the alr5nIp
is practical and that young men that
enlist in this service have a wonder
full future before them. We are glad
to be able to point out that the dirigi-
BILE has a commercial as we'll as =
military value"

SEEK VOTE BY MAIL
ON PLAN Of KNOX

An unofficial referendum" on the
Knox resolution is to be sought in an
effort to prevent the Senate passing
the measure. The referendum is ex-
pected to be evidenced by letters, the
writing of which League to Enforce
Peace speakers are urging all over
the country.
While Senators Hitchcock, Pittma n,
williams and Walsh of Montana lead
the Administration fight on the reso-
luton in the Senate, the backfire in
all the States will be in full blaze,
Administration leaders said today.
They expect IL to result in a great
food Of letters showing that the peO-
pie regard the Knox resolution as a
partisan attempt TO destroy President
wilson's influence abroad.
Some Of the most serious speech
making efforts of the whole league
Of nations debate are being planned
on the Knox resolution. Senators
Borah, Knox and Reed are expected 10
deliver the heavy broadside in it's
favor.
While leaders Of both sides today
sought rest in preparation for what
promises to be the Senate's most
strenuous week, there was an admit
ted uneasiness among some Demo-
Gratis
In the Knox camp there was great
confidence that the resolution either
will pass or will get enough votes
TO serve notice on the peace confer
ence that the treaty, unless divorced
from the league, will not receive an
approving vote of two-thirds of the
Senate.

INTERNATIONAL FREE TRADE.

It HOSE who have been deluding themselves with the
notion that the League Of Nations covenant does not
give the league control import tariffs should grasp
the fun significance Of the made by the President
In his address TO Congress, when in enumeratins the
things the peace conference had accomplished spoke OF
"a complete and systematic inernstionszation Of water
ways and railways which were necessary to the free
economic life Of than nation and TO clear many
OF the normal channels OF commerce OF unfair obstruc
tlons Of law OF privilege"
n any waterways and railways TO be information
allied In way not existing before n the economic life Of
nations to be cleared Of distractions Of law and priv
iese how this be accomplished except by vestlng in
the League Of Nations the power to compel the United
States to admit into s ports free from the
restrictions heretofore established by law7
Il has been the privilege Of American workmen to have
the protection OF import tariff against rulnous
petition from cheap products from abroad. This the
only kind Of law obsructins commerce; this has been
the only privilege American labor has enjoyed under laws
which obstuct commerce.
President Wilson did not state explicitly what he
meant by the clearing away Of distractions Of law
privilege from the channels Of but II Is i'm
possible to imagine any application OF his words other
than that they refer the subject he had in mind
when, in his fourteen points he demanded removal OF
all economic barriers, so far as possible
n this Is not what he meant by the words in his adj
dress TO Congress he should hasten TO state explicitly
comprehensvely and completely. what he did mean.
