BELGIAN AWARDED
I BENNETT TROPHY
Aero Club of America Makes Unof
fetal Announcement of Result
fsx Associated Rress.l

(Bv Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. 26.-OfficialS of the
Aero Club Of America today conceded
that the Gordon Bennett international
trophy for free balloons had been won
by the Belgian entry. ''Belgica, piloted
by two Belgian army officers, Lieu
tenants de Muyter and Labrousse.
Formal announcement of the winner
of the international race which started
from Birmingham, Ala, Saturday. prob
ably not be made for several days
because of the necessity of collecting
aeronautical data in connection with
the contest.
All seven balloons which started
have landed, according to reports
which reached the club this morning,
except United States Army balloon No.
4, piloted by Lieutenant r. E. Thomp-
son. Press dispatches from Chicago,
however, stated that Thompson, with
Captain Harold Weeks, had landed late
Sunday night near Charlotte, Mich,
more than 600 miles from Birmingham.
With this unofficial report from
Lieutenant Thompson, Aero Club Of
ficials admitted that the Belglans had
won, having covered about t,100 miles
between Birmingham and Lake Cham
plain, where they landed yesterday at
North Hero Island
Allan r. Hawiey. president of the
club, returned today from Birmingham
where he witnessed the start. He de-
clared it was the most successful race
ever held and resulted in engendering
of better feeling between American and
foreign balloOuistS.
Plans are under way for a banquet
in this city in honor Of the Belgian
winners. At the dinner. the Bennett
trophy will be presented.
Washington, Oct. 26.-Offcial an
nouncement was made today by the
Air Service that the army balloon No.

countered two rain storms and one

landed, the big gas bag was returning
on a southwark course.

missioner in London, has lost an OPP
portunity to play the leading role in
world politics. says Kari Radek. radi-
cal leader.
"The political sceptre has fallen from
the hands of Lloyd George, from the
hands of England" he asserts in an
article in the Isvestia.
Trade negotiations with soviet Rus
STA would have represented for Eng
land a victory over French and Amer
lean imperialism. over French imper-
ialisn, because French creditors would
have been obliged to allow the gold
which the French capitalists consider
their property to pass into English
Golfers; over American imperialism,
because the English government would
receive supplies and raw materials
not under the control Of American mo-
nopolies.
ITO realize this victory it was neces-
sary to establish political peace with
soviet Russia.
The breaking off Of diplomatic nego-
tiations means that the political init
alive passes into the hands OF France,
which is openly supporting wrangel.' -
Radek continued. simultaneously, the
republican party OF the United States
and its presidential candidate, Hard
ing. have declared in favor of the rec
ognition Of soviet Russia, demonstrat-
ing that American capital means TO
put England in the second place by
beginning trade relations with Russia
and cutting off Englands only non
American source OF oil supply"
Radek concludes the article by say
ing that the action Of the British gov
eminent was induced not so much by
the defeats of the red army as by the
victories of the communist idea in
