nation, and Roosevelt Field was reached
at 1854 yesterday morning. As the great
dirigible came into view hundreds OF
American soldiers and sailors who had
been especially drilled were mobilized
to help her land
The first great rope anchor was
thrown overheard, and as it reached
the earth was seized by sixty men, who
attached 1t to concrete piling, and
the voyage of the huge craft was at an
end. Five other anchors then were
thrown over the side and made fast
to the other mooring blocks.
The R-34 headed southwest out
across the Atlantic along the coast of
Maine. her nose pointing for Cape Cod /.
with the United States destroyer Ban
croft hanging on her and in constant
wireless communication with her. The
bulldog navy craft stuck close 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 beer decided on the voyage
along the coast that unless a favoring
wind came up the r "a would be forced
to land at Montauk Point, and early
this morning wireless message was
sent out making that announcement.
With the Cape left behind, however,
fortune finally favored the balloon and
the wind veered to her favor. Headed
straight for Montauk Point, she ran
true and before the tip end of Long
go on to- Mineola. With t<e goal al :
most in sight, the R-34 few majesti-
| cally above the island and headed
straight down the center of it for
Roosevelt Field, 100 miles away.
The mammoth balloon, looking like a
! huge flying fish, was sighted in the dis
tance about Q o'clock and fifteen min :
utes later was over Roosevelt Field: She
cruised about in circle at height OF
about 1000 feet until word was tele-
phoned that everything was in readiness
for the landing.
Parachute Landing Made

at great height Major Pritchard

hurried indoors before an ambulance
that had been rushed to the scene could
reach him.
This was nearly half hour before

| Lieutenant Hoyt. United States navy
the ground officer. had assembled on the
| field force Of more than 800 soldiers
and sailors ready for instant action as
the "a circled lower and lower. Nher
she was only 200 feet above the grounc
a huge hawser was let go from undei
her nose. British noncommissioned otfi
GERS with American soldiers and sailors
shouted gloefully as they seized the rope
and hung on like grim death.
Then water ballast was dropped IRON
the forward end of the dirigible and hei
nose tipped. Then she began to descend
Five more guide lines were dropped anc
landing parties grasped them as tn
water ballast was dropped from tht
stern. In both operations at bow anc
stern the landing crews were drenchet
by the cascadng water. Major Scot
directed all the details Of the landing
and it was carried out as smoothly al
though the inexperienced landing crew
had been anchoring dirigibles all thei'
lives.

at either side in the center. When the
great ship was safely anchosed. all the
ropes except the ones at her nose We're
cut loose so she could swing with the
wind like ship at anchor. The landing
crews stood by all night to hold her safe'
The first man to step "ashore" was
Major Scott. He obviously was tired
out but happy. On his face was several
days growth of beard and he showed
plainly the strain he had been under.
He wore the regulation air costume.
Short and chunky and typically British,
the military skipper of the huge air
ship shook hands with General Lionel
Il. o. Charlton. British air attache in
the United States, who was waiting
for him. The greeting was as typically
English as the appearance of the COM
mander. There was no demonstration
and the two officers met as casually as
though the trip had been across the
English channel.
Brigadier General r. NJ. Maitland,
D. s. c.. official observer for the Brit =
ish air ministry. was the next to step
out Of the car. He looked fresher than
his companions, for he had no duties to
perform on the way across except to
keep the ships log. He said he had
slept well and he had taken time to
shave. He wore an officers cap, a tor
coat. wooleu breeches and felt shoes.

do you think l would be doing
wrong il I go away and never come
back? >LoNESOME STAR. !.
I think you should feel perfectly
free to leave your husband, since
you are not happy or respected.
There is O better way, however.
and that is to change the attitude
, of the home and show your hus-
band and his children that you are
mistress of the home and will be
respected.
First Of all, let the 14-year-old
girl know decidedly that she must
contribute to harmony or she can

Doing Nothing for Soldier.

Majority leaders In both houses of congress
have dsmonstEated that thsy are mors infsr-
sstsd in the soldiers vots than they ars in the
men who wore the uniform. - ID evidenced
BY the refusal 81 theeppropriatioos committee
q the senate to act on the bill passed two
months ago By the house under Which con-
sensation for soldiers totally disabled. in the
war II raised from $50 month TO 80 . month
with additional allowances for dependents.
This bill, known as the Sweet bill, and con-
tanning all the improved features Of the war
risk insurance legislation has laid on the table
Of the committee seven weeks without act3on,
Meanwhile the proposed improvements to col
diers' Insurance affecting 100000 ex-service
men cannot be put into effect. Meanwhile.
also. 100000 disabled men are drawing>$3o q
month and fractions Of $50 = month. when
they ought to be getting living compensation.
This failure to act u directly traceable to
the Intolerance ok the Ssh committee headed
by senator Rssd Smooty Of Utah. the Same
leader who beads the Joint committee on print
ing. This latter IL the committee that has
uttered it, ukase against military periodicals
now publishsd under the auspices Of the army
and navy for the soldiers. sailors and marines
1t various army and navy posts throughout
the country This committee would prohibit
the military papers from soliciting 6r accept
ing advertisements. They could not legislate
the papers out y existence. but they have
taken this way Of killing them a. by stopping
their SOURCE u income.
There are At present about eight papers
conducted by soldiers sailors and marines ut
the naval stations and at least 20 papers and
two technical magazines published at the army
posts over the country. In addition there are
about twenty papers published 1t army hospi1
tails, conducted for the entertainment and in
formation Of soldier patients. In many of the
posts and institutions in both branches of the
service these papers are edited and printed by
the soldiers and sailors themselves. But be-
cause one Of the navy papers carried an article
by the SECRETARY Of the navy apparently the
majority Of the committee has sworn ven
geancs against service papers generally.
