PLANE FOUND IN AFRICA
The Goliath Forced to Land 23o
Miles From Destination

Paris, Aug. 25.-(By A. P)-Fur-
ther details were received yesterday by
the ministry of the colonies concerning
the long missing nirplane Goliath, which
was found yesterday. During the flight
from Mogador, Morocco, toward Dakar,
French West Africa. the machine devel-
oped propeller trouble and was forced
to land near the village of Koufra, in
the Mauretania region, 100 miles north
of st, Louis. The propeller previously
had been the cause of trouble on the
fight from Casabanca to Mogador,
where it was repaired.
The district in the vicinity of Koufra
is thinly populated, and it is not known
as vet by whom the Goliath was found.
1t is believed, however, that one of the
flying columns sent out to search for
the missing craft discovered its where
abouts. st. Louis is about 100 miles
north of Dakar, and therefore the Go
Hath was about 230 miles from her
destination when forced to land. The
eight persons aboard the airplane are
safe
