Wins Battle Against Gales
in Flight to Capital

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-The 400

ter of the assistant secretary of war,
who broke a bottle of liquid air on

and Senator Ricci, the Italian ambas-

chilling winds for the airship. The.

OF an hour or two over the city, anG

guests, but the wind was rising stead

the army air service, ordered til,
Roma back to her hangar at Lang
ley Field as soon as she could be re-
fueled.
A crowd of guests and officers
awaited the arrival of the country's
largest lighter-than-air ship from 3
O'CLOCK, impatiently trying to keep
warm. Finally the ship was reported
ever Alexandria, progressing slowly
against a stiff head wind with three
OF her motors frozen.
Suddenly, toward the southwest,
she appeared, scarcely distinguish
able. Gradually, her hulk loomed up
and she headed for the field, with
her motors roaring. Approaching
quite low, she reached the center OF
the field, put her nose down and
slowly settled.
A door in the V-shaped keel flew
open and coil of rope dropped
the handling" crew. All hanus took
! hold and slowly the great craft came
down. The wind swung the great
ship back and forth as the men
strained at the rope, while stay wires
with cables attached were dropped
to other men. Finally, she was land
ed. But she did not stand still, sway

men clinging to the ropes.
Then followed the christening b.
Miss Wainwright, who stood on a
step-ladder under the grea tcIrvIns
bows, as she broke the bottle OF
liquid air. The old ensign was then
replaced by a new one presented by
the Italians and hoisted high on
stern.

was designed and built, Ambassador

General Patrick then ordered the
field cleared and the ship gassed and
re-balanced for homeward flight. AS

the cables heaved up. She slowiv
forged ahead into the wind, turning
