FRED RUNY0N
LOSES LIFE AT
LAKE MANAWA
Dives Into Shallow Water,
Striking Bottom and Break
ing His Neck,

Fred, better known as "Blackie"
Runyon, of Council Bluffs. was in
stantly killed late Sunday afternoon
when he dived into about three and
one-half feet of water at Wray's
landing, Lake Manawa. His head
struck the bottom, breaking his
neck. DR.. Moth responded to cali
for physician, taking a pulmotor to
the scene of the accident as it was at
first thought that death resulted
from remaining too long under
water.
Runyon gained considerable no.
toriety when he was charged with
all assault upon Fred Wade, fore
man of bridge crew Of the Mil
waukee railway. at the latter's home
on January II last. Wade's head was
crushed and the power of speech
totally destroyed. He is still in
Mercy hospital, and it has been
necessary for him to learn the en-
tire language over again. Runyon
was indicted by the district grand
Jury, and later sentenced to one
year in the state prison at Fort
Madison. He had appealed his case
and was out on an appeal bond
when the accident happened.

COURT AMERICA.
BERNSTORFF TELLS
GERMAN PEOPLE
Points Out Revision of Treaty
of Peace Can Come Only
Through League of Nations.

Berlin, July l3.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Count Won Bern
storff, former German ambassador
at Washington, writing in the week
ly Democratic Germany, advocated
a pro-American policy and points
out a revision of the treaty of peace
can come only through the leaghe
of nations.
when Germany is received into
the league" he says, "she can hope
for world order checking imperial-'
ism by individual powers and bring
ing about a system binding peoples
together across the frontiers of
states | hardly need to point out
that such policy would lead us to
the side of the United States The
danger of a league of nations is
living one. There alone are funds
to be found. and there the principal
champion of the league idea will be
at the helm for another 20 months.
Count Won Bernstorf says that
socialism is unpopular in the United
States and therefore, If Germans
wish to cultivate friendly relations
with that country, they must con-
vince Americans, not only that mill
tarism is dead, but that new Ger
many has no intention of fostering
a socialist world revolution.

Long Island, N. Y. on Trip
Home Across Atlantic.
VOYAGE WITHOUT
PARTICULAR INCIDENT
400 Men Who Went to Aid
Airship in Landing, Waited
Silently as Ship CircIed Field
at PuIham, Norfolk.

Pulham, Norfolk, England, July
13.-- (By the Associated Press.)-
Great Britan's mammoth transat-
iant:c air pioneer, the dirigible R-34,
arrived at the air station here at
6:56 o'clock, Greenwich mean time,
Sunday, completing her round trip
IRON the British isle to the United
States and return.
The R-34 poked her nose out of
the clouds northeast of the village
and, after circling the flying field
three times, glided gently to the
ground and 10 minutes later was
housed in the dirigible shed. The
voyage from Lang Island later was
without particular incident and
was completed in approximately IS
hours.
As the R-34 approached the field
size dropped from a height of 5000
feet to 1000 feet. The 400 men who
were to aid the airship in landing
were ordered to their positions and
waited silently as the ship circled
the field, dropping lower and low
eT.
When Major G. H. Scott, her COM
nnander, had unanswered the airship
into position for the landing, the
water ballast was released to steady
her and rope was thrown from the
bow. The rope was grasped by
eager hands and the giant ship
moved across the field to the shed
where the delicate operation of
berthing her was completed quickly
without accident.
A military band stationed on the
field played The Call Of Duty as
the airship began to settle and then
changed to the strains of See, the
Conquering Hero Comes" As the
ship was warped into the shed the
band played Keep the Home Fires
Burning"
Crew Warmly Greeted.
The tired, unshaven, but smiling
,nen who composed the crew, quick
ly clawled from the gondola and
we're greeted by the officers and
soldiers gathered on the field.
The voyage home has been with
out incident" said Major Scott.
we want breakfast :
After breakfast and while en-
:oying the belated luxury of his lit
tie black pipe, smoking not being
permitted on the ship, Major Scott
told the story of the return fight as
follows:
"We estimated we would make it
in from 70 to 80 hours" he said.
I'VE made it in Is. When we left
we had a strong wind behind US and
we covered the first 800 miles in
about eight hours. When we
circled over New York we could
plainly see the crowds on Broadway
waving to US as we passed, but we
could not hear them because of the
noise of the engines.
South of Newfoundland we en-
countered head winds and our prog
ress from then on was slower. We
travelled at an average height OF
from 5000 to 5000 feet and found
much low clouds and fog. Once we
saw nothing but fog for "a hours.
