Philadelphia, Jan, l7-Frederick j
Libby, commissioner of the American

children are starving in Russia. Mr.
Libby obtained his information from
Arthur ). Watts, an English friend
who has been engaged in relief work

a translation of the reports of Rus
sian commissars from various Russian
cities. 1t is upon these Mr.. Libby
bases his information.
1t appears from the commissars' 70
ports that the situation of the children
varies greatly in the different eenters.

A balloon trip that ended above the
North sea, was made by Captain Won
Schaeek during the 1909 Gordon Ben
nett race, which started from Berlin.
A passing steamer spied the guide rope
splashing through the water, and tow
ed the balloon back to the coast of
Norway with the rope secured to the
stern Of the ship and the balloon
floating overhead.
Being lost to the world was not a
new experience to Lieutenant Walter
Hinton, one Of the three lieutenants
who recently piloted the Asses from
Rockaway Air station into Canada.
He was a pilot on the NC-4, the fla
nous naval seaplane which made the
first Transatlantic air voyage, and was
in the cockpit of that plane when it
was lost out in the Gulf of Mexico in
December, 1919.
On that occasion the NC-4 left Gal
weston, Texas, early in the morning
on an intended nonstop flight to Mo-
bile, Ala Throughout the day and the
night and part of the following day
the famous seaplane was unheard
from. The government was making
arrangements TO send an armada of
seaplanes and boats into the gulf TO
look for the missing craft, when a ra
