ROMA MAkEs MAIDEN LIE.


The Roma. the largest American
airship ever flown, made her initial
flight at Langley Field, Va, on No
vember 18th, with successful results
The airship left her berth at 9 a. m,
sliding smoothly out of the big hangar
under the direction of Chief Maneu-
vering officer Captain Dale Mabry, air
service, and through the excellent uni
fed efforts Of her ground crew of 200
enlisted men. The task of tuning up
each of her six motors, weighing off
and assembly Of passengers and crew,
occupied about a half hours time, and
at $40 a. m. the ship was a height of
400 feet and gradually gained altitude
as she headed for Chesapeake bay.
Most of her flight was made at a
heigt Of 200 meters. After the ship
had circIed the field several times. and
complete inspection from nose to tail
showed all parts functioning properly,
she was headed for Norfolk and the
u. S. navy yard, flying across historic
Hampton Roads.
Shortly after II o'clock the first mis-
hap of the flight occurred, when the
propeller blades on the left forward
motor were broken by small alum
mum door on the engine compartment
falling into the propeller. Slinters
from the damaged propeller tore a
large hole in theN keel cover, while
several small openings were made in
the lower diaphragm of No gas
compartment.
With alert mind, in keeping with the
responsibility of his position, Technical
Sergeant Lee NJ. Harris, engineer for
the left forward motor, Immediately
cut his switch and stopped his engine,
thereby lessening the danger from fire,
while in the next instant he climbed
into the ballonet to ascertain the
amount of dl mage done. Gas was
Waived out of the compartment to re-
duce the pressure so that repairs could
be made In addition to Sergeant
Harris, Master Sergeant William Fitch
and Mr.. c. E. Brannigan worked at
repairing the leaking chamber, all
three men being rendered temporarily
unconscious by the hydrogen gas they
breathed The ship continued to func-
ton, although the forward motors were
stopped At 1:12 p. m. she landed at
the field, after the thoroughly sue
cessfuI flight, which was made pri-
marily for purposes of inspection.
A test fight will be made In the
near future, at which time minor
changes viii have been made as a re-
suit of observations made during the
inspection fight. Among changes will
be the addition of shutters for the
radiators of the Ansaldo motors, which
it is said operated at too cold tenn
perature throughout the first flight.
Radio connections, both by telephone
and telegraph were maintained with
the field throughout the trip, amateur
operators also reporting that by listen
ing in they were in touch with the big
ship and heard of the accident to the
propeller before the ship was in sight
and long before she landed.
Thirty-one men, including the pas
senger and crew, were carried on the
trip.

Secretary of Interior Declares
That Meaico Is Pacifed and
Cabinet Backs the President

MEXICO CITY, June 1u.-P. Elias
Gales, Secretary of the Interior, who
returned yesterday from an extensive
trip throughout the republic, ex-
pressed optimism over the situation
which has arisen between the United
States and Mexico relative to recog-
milton being extended the Obregon
government.
81 am bsolutelv sure" said the
Secretary, "that President Obregon
will be able to settle the so-called
conflict with the United States without
disparagement of himself or the
nation"
He added he did not consider the
situation grave, and said the entire
Cabinet was in absolute agreement
with the policy outlined by President
Obregon
Charges that he is sympathetic with
the Bolsheviki have been made against
Secretary Gales, but he dismissed
these allegations as "inconsequential,"
explaining, however, that he was "a
friend of the proletariat and would
defend it, but always within the law"
The entire nation has been pacified,
the Secretary asserted and is return
ing to the paths of peace. He said he
would make a detailed report of his
trip at the Cabinet meeting. at which
international affairs may be discussed.
