SCOTT CARRIES LETTER FROM KING GEORGE
 ID PRESIDENT
AIRSHIP LAST REPORTED TRAVELLING IN A ASOUIHERNLY DIRECTION AND RUM
 MING IN GOOD SHAPE

London, July 2-The British dlrigible R-34, which left East Fortune, Scotland, at 1:49 o'clock, Greenwich mean time this morning, had reached 50 degrees 7 minutes north lati- tude 14 degrees 50 minutes west longitude at 12 o'clock Greenwich time (S o'clock New York time) in her attempt to cross the Atlantic.
 Major Scott, the commander, in his wireless dispatch said that the dirigible at that time was making 32 knots an hour in a thick fog. He added that all was we'll.
 The position of the RIA at 12 o'clock Greenwich time, was approx imately SC miles west of Pensance, England, indicating that the big air ship had travelled in a southwesterly direction along the coast of Ireland since she made her previous report at o'clock Greenwich time, when she was at 55 degrees 20 minutes north latitude and 10 degrees 40 minutes west longitude.
 The mail carried by the R-34 in- cludes a letter from King George to President Wilson
 East Fortune, England. July D. The British dirigiible R-34 started on her long-heraded trip to America this morning with little more ceremony than that which attended the depar- ture of dirigibles for their monotonous North Sea patrol during the war
 Shortly before the first streaks of dawn broke over the plains near here, the great airship was quietly taken out of its airdrome and turned around until her nose was pointed, straight west The commando in the Thar oH was given and the huge envelope quickly rose. Before the height of 800 feet was reported she was lost to view in the mist.
 The whirr of the propel1ers could be heard for several minutes after the airship went out of sight
 The weather reports indicate that the R-45 will meet unsettled condi- tlons, with variable winds, until she is some distance out into the Atlantic. Then it is expected she will have fol- lowing winds which will assist her.

 The officers obtained an interview with Count von Brockdorff-Rantza then foreign minister, who repeated a statement which he made at a. se- cret cabinet meeting in January, to the effect that Bolshevism was the only subject over which Germany and the Entente could act together in the general interests. He declared was prepared to go to any length to convince England, France and Amer ica that his claims were bona f1de, and would readily disclose whatever knowledge he possessed if by that means the peril of Bolsh evism could be better understood and cocabatted as he did not consider the situation beyond repair.

 It was learned, however, that the new owner intends to erect a large warehouse on the property. This building will be constructed of brick and will be modern structure throughout. As this section of the city is devoted largely to wholesale business it Is regarded as an ideal spot for a warehouse.

Piez said today he had recommend
ed to Hurley that more than $50 lake
steamers and numerous other small
type boats be disposed of immedi-
ately and the funds thus acquired be
converted into larger types OF ships.

General Piez has shown the construc-

There are three distinct steps to
be taken in developing an indepen-
