Air Liner That Crossed
Ocean Twice Is Crippled
British Dirigible Fights Way
Back to Safety After Be-
ing Blown to Sea

From The Tri6ume's European Bureau
Copyright. 1921, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Jan. 28.-The giant Brit
ish dirigible airship R-34, which twice
crossed the Atlantic in 1919, landed at
its base at Howdon Airdome, in York
County, tonight after having been
blown out to sea early this morning
and reported lost.
Mystery surrounds the exact nature
Of the mishap suffered by the air
liner, but it is known that both Condo
las were damaged and three of its
hve engines were put out of commits
sion. The Air Ministry was in commu-
nication with the airship as it was
slowly making it's way to the airdrome
earlier in the evening and reported
that there were no casualties among
the crew of forty.
The dirigible has been undergoing an
overhauling for several weeks, prepara-
tory to being put in commission as
commercial flyer. Yesterday evening it
was maneuvering near the airdrome
with sister ship, the R-33, when the
pilots lost control. The ship disap-
peared toward the east coast and de-
strcyers were sent out from Harwich
this morning to earch for it.
Later IN the day communication was
opened with the ship, and it reported
that it was returning to it's base. Early
this evening it passed over Hull, on
the east coast of Yorkshire, and at that
time was making three miles an hour
against strong west wind.
One report says that the airship was
damaged by striking a hill in the dark
ness.
During her transatlantic fight the
R-34 encountered storms which forced
it to remain in the air 1O8 hours. and
it had only forty minutes fuel supply
whom it landed on Long Island.

Fooling With the Phrase
HisReply to QUESTIONABLE
Reported Still in Dublin
Declared Rumors of Visit to
France Are Erroneous:
Paris interviewing

DUBLIN, Jan. est was declared
here to-day, on what was represented
as the highest authority, that Eamon
de Valera, the Irish Republican leader,
was still in Dublin, and that reports
OF his visit to France were erroneous,
probably designed to conceal his real
whereabouts.
The de Valera interview in the Paris
Oeuvrc, it developed to-day, resulted
from a QUESTIONABLE submitted by
that newspaper to him. This question
naire was answered at the same time
that an answer was given to a ques-
tionnaire submitted to de Valera by
American correspondents here, but the
Oeuvre printed the interview first,
through some mistake.
The interview as given out here ap-
peared to-day. 1t is covered in part
by the article in the Oeuvre, but the
answers to the questions were much
more explicit and in some instances
struck new ground. Regarding the
new home rule act, de Valera, in his
answer to the American questions,
says: "Like the majority of the Irish
people. have not considered it or
even thought about it,

Case Probable

made no request for diplomatic action
IN BergdolPs case. Officials said, how
ever, that the State Department could
90 little more than informally ask the
German government to approve his ex-
tradition. Pending the receipt of O.
request from the Americans, said in
cabled reports to have been arrested
by the German police for attempting
bergdolls capture, no action will be
taken by the American Foreign Office
IN their behalf.
Major John r. Hunt, commandant of
the military prison, and Sergeants York
and O'Hare, who were BergdolPs guard
on the Philadelphia trio. were ac
quilted by courts martial. The evi-
dence failed to show that the two SER
geants had been intoxicated while in
Bergdolvs home, as charged by Berg
doll. Major Hunt suffered nervous
collapse following his trial, and he has
been retired from active service in the
army.
1t developed to-day that the War De-
partment first learned of Bergdoll's
presence in Germany more than two
months ago. The bureau of investiga.
tion of the Department of Justice in
formed Secretary Baker at that time Of
bergdolls escape. but since no steps
have been taken by the Attorney Gen
erals department in the case.
While the cabled reports mentioned
Charles Neaf, of Baltimore, and Frank
zimmer, of Denver, as two of the
Americans who attempted to kidnap the
deserter at Eberbach, army records
failed to-day to disclose any man
named Neaf in the service. The enlist
ment records of Frank thinner. of
.Wheatride, Col, however, were on file
in the War Department. He is a SER
geant, serving with depot company
with the American army on the Rhine.

British Said to Oppose
Change in Naval Policy

LONDON, Jan. 20. - The London
Times says the subcommittee of thte
Imperial Defense Committee will NOT
recommend that Great Britain cease
building capital ships, but will oppose
any vital change in naval policy until
the dominions and India are consulted,
This would virtually postpone further
consideration of the question until af-
ter the meeting in June of the Imperial
Council, at which all the dominions

Minister to Poland Put Back

WASHINGTON, Jan. % (By The AS
sociated Press s).--While the fight to pre-
vent authorization Of salaries for min
listers to Finland and to the country of
the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes failed
in the House to-day, the chair sustained
point of order on the section which
sought to reduce the Turkish embassy
to a legation. Ministers to Czecho-
Slovakia and Poland, eliminated yester-
day from the $4,000 salary rank, were
put back with ministers in the $4,000
class. The bill as amended on the
floor fixed salary of $4,000 for an
ambassador to Turkey instead of $17,-
500, the normal figure.
With final disposal of the ambassa-
dor and ministers sections, the attack
was renewed on other provisions. An
effort to cut the item of $500 for a
Japanese secretary at the embassy at
Toxic prompted Chairman Rogers to
declare it was the most important in
the bill, expressing similar views
concerning Chinese secretary at Pc
king. Mr.. Rogers said "the course of
history was apt to depend upon these

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. - Recog-
milton of the Republic Of Ireland"
through an appropriation Of $4,000
Tor a minister to that country, was
sought in an amendment to the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
offered in the House this afternoon by
Representative William E. Mason, of
Illinois.
Mr.. Mason contended that tho legis-
lative branch of the government has
the power to initiate recognition pro-
ceedings by making an advance .appro-
priation. He cited the precedent of
such action in the case of the recog-
milton of the republic of Texas, and
compared the situation regarding Ire
land with that Of Cuba.
"Great Britain has lost her sover-
eighty in Ireland exactly in the same
manner as Spain lost hers in Cuba and
in both cases they have retaliated with
reprisals," said Mr.. Mason. He added
that this country intervened in Cuba
and helped establish a new govern
ment.
No Assurance From Harding
Representative Tom Connally, OF
Texas, asked Mr.. Mason whether he
had any assurance from t. /, incoming
President that the republic of Ireland
would be recognized by him.
"I have not, Of course" he replied,
"but this is entirely matter of the
policy of the people of this country,
and this body has every right to state
that policy"
Mr.. Mason's amendment was ruled out
by the chairman, Representative Horace
M. Towner, of Iowa, who sustained a
point of order against it by Representa-
tive John Jacob Rogers, of Massachu-
setts, chairman of the subcommittee
on appropriations in charge Of the
diplomatic and consular bill.
Representative Towner held that there
was no authority either in the Constitu-
tt :, or by statute for such an appro-
priation.
