CHICAGO. June 2.-CBy A. Pr
Indications Friday night were that
an army, navy and independent bal
loon will represent the United States
in the international balloon races in
Switzerland.
The navy balloon piloted by W. F.
Reed was the only one of the Is
contestants that started in the ma
tional race from Milwaukee Wednes-

where over the Great Lakes region.

ing for the right to be selected among
the three TO represent the United
States in the international races and
two of the winners are thought to
have landed Friday.
II. e. Honeywell of st. Louis, an
Independent pilot, reported he had
landed about % miles south Of Jor-
lin Mo, after covering, about $50
miles, while Maj. oscar westover OF
Washington. plotting an army bal
loon. came down near Lake St. John.

cording to Maj. Westover's message.
he landed Thursday but as the dist
ance is 600 miles it is thought a mis-
take has been made and that he
landed Friday morning as the speed
Of his balloon would have been about
so miles an hour TO have covered the
distance by Thursday morning Mai.
Westover and Mr. Honeywell covered
greater distances than any Of the

Nothing has been heard of the

it back on its course.
