Toledo, O.-By winning the speedi

OF SUCCESS.
AMERICAN OFFICER ON BOARD
With Favorable Weather Conditions,
Trip Will Take Sixty to Seventy
Hours-To Land at M,neola,
Long Island.

East Fortune Aerdome. Edinburgh,
Scotland.-The British dirigible R.3i
started her Atlantic flight to America.
The R-34 is expected to land at Min
cola, L. l.
The final test of the engines of the
R-34 were made, and it was decided
to start. Reports from the Atlantic
were favorable, and though strong
breeze was blowing there was then
no reason why flight should not be at
tempted.
Maj. G. H. Scott, commander of the
airship, after her behavior in the trip
to Germany, has no fear of an Atlantic
storm. The R-34 was then exposed
for more than 46 hours to a 42-knot
gale and heavy rain. Her officers said
they could see the ships beneath them
making very bad weather of it, but,
thanks to the beautiful stream lines
on which she is built, the R-34 rode
as steady as a rock, and there was
not the slightest excuse for seasick-
ness. Storms, however, might pro-
long the Atlantic fight inconventently.
Lieut.. Commander Lansdowne is the
United States representative aboard
the R-34. He will work as a member
of the crew.

Washington. D. C.--Congress ant
the Department of Justice moved tc
stop the sale of "a per cent beer lin.
der the wartime prohibition act.
Prohibition leaders of the House OBJ
tanned call for a meeting of the .Tu
dietary Committee which is expected
to agree promptly on an independent
bill for enforcement of the wartime
law, defining Intoxicating liquor" as
beverages containing more than one
half of l per cent of alcohol and 10
recommend passage of such a bill by
the House at the earliest possible
moment. The Department of Justice
made plain its agents would enforce
the act according to its Interpretation
that anything containing more than
one-half Of l per cent alcohol cannot
be legally manufactured or sold.
Decisions of Federal Judge Rose at
Baltimore in favor of the brewers and
2% per cent beer, and of Federal
Judge Sawtelle at San Francisco
against the brewers and such beer,
threw the entire legal status of low
alcoholic beer into uncertainty.
However, action of Congress within
a few weeks at the most is expected
to render a decision by the Supreme
Court unnecessary so far as stopping
the manufacture and sale is con-
cerned.
