Thirty -four out of the forty-four
passengers. and crew of, the Italian
built aifsEfb Rdha 'iost thgq lives dur
ing a trial trip at Hampton Roads last
Tuesday afternoon. The great airship,
the largest of its type ever construct
ed, was received in America some
weeks ago, and army authorities
thought it would be better with Lib
erty motors, than with the Italian mo-
tors with which 1t was equipped. The
change having been completed. the
trial 5 trip WAS; attempted Tuesday.
After the ship had reached thousand
feet or more, however something went
wrong with the rudder and pointed the
nose Of the ship downward. Attempts
were made to rectify the trouble by
,,,ttl
ciable result. The big ship went on to
earth, struck an electric wire Of tre-
mendous voltage and bursted. The
hydrogen gas with which the big bag
40 feet long was inflated, immediate
ly caught fire and flames shot up a
height of 800 feet Observers from the
ground quickly saw the plight of the
big ship and they observed men drop
ping out. One, man started with a
parachute: but the parachute failed to
open and the man was smashed to =
jelly on the ground. All that jumped
of course were killed. Firemcn fought
the flames for several hours; but Of
course, without result. Less than a
dozen men escaped with their lives
and these were so badly burned and
bruised as to o,leave but small hope for
their recovery. .-

noa economic, Conference by the Uni
ted States was intimated by d. r.
Crissinger, Comptroller of Currency,
n few days ago. He spoke before the
New York chapter of the American In
stitute of Banking. Stating that the
financial community must consolidate
the good beginning of the Washing
ton arms conference, Crissinger said:
Already we are looking forward to
the conference at Genoa in the hope
that it will make as good a start on
the economic and fiscal side as Wash
ington made on the political. There
are times in which it is dangerous tc
be contending with the narrow and
provincial side. Great forces are at
work in the world which no matter
how insistently we may wish to t :ke
the narrower view, absolutely prohibit
us from doing so. We are compelled
to regard banking in the light of it's
worldwide concerns-we recognize
that IL is inevitably interrelated with
the fiscal and financial concerns
everywhere; to understand that we
can not block ourselves off from inti-
3 mate associations and relationship
with the leaders of business, of gov
ernment of financial operation. every
where" The financial world also must
O. confront the task of beating off the
OnslaughtS of Bolshevism on Western
! civilization, Crissinger declared. Boil
