 Efforts to settle the shopmen strike and end sporadic walkouts b, train crews bore little fruit. Tn, country cheered by news of an ap parent break in the coal strike go little encouragement in the raj crisis.
 Although little progress was made toward ending the walkout of tho "bg four transportation brother. hoods on the Atchison, Topeka ant Santa Fe the strike of Union Pacific trainmen was called off and four eas' hound trains left immediately foi Chicago.
 Santa Fe trains stalled for severa days at desert towns in California Arizona and New Mexico were moved westward. Although movement ot these trains brought relief tc marooned passengers. Las Vegas Nevada. remained isolated.

 An ultimatum to "big four broth orhood chiefs from A. G. Wells, vice. president of the Santa Fe, intensified the situation on that road Mir Wells said If Santa Fe train crews refused tc return to work the roads only al- ternative would be to employ others to fill the places of strikers. His de- lnand for explicit answers on the at- titude of brotherhood officials h ought a response from w G. Lee. president of the brotherhood of trainmen that vice presidents of the union had been instructed to enforce working agreements with the rail- road.
 Volunteer Train Crews.
 Fruit growers and shippers of north central Washington announced their willingness to man trains for moving the s25.o00.0oo fruit crop of the dis trict.
 A passenger train manned by ronunon crew was operated over the Valley division of the La uisville and Nashville railroad which had been tied up by the strike.

PILOT ID FELLOW
 ID WIN AIR RACE
H. E. Honeywell of the ''Uncle
 Sam," Expects Success

St Louis, Mo, Aug 15.-H E. Honeywell, pilot of the Uncle Sam, ' one of the three American entrants in the International balloon race for the Gordon Bonnet cup, starting from Geneva, Switzerland, August 6, hopes to win first honors by flying as low as possible and staying in the air longer than other entrants, thereby making more distance.
 Expecting to land in Russia, Capt. Honeywell said his plan of flight prob ably would be different from that of most of his opponents in the race. which is the fourth international event he has entered. - ...
 Views On Others.
 Other entrants probably will fly over the Alps" he continued, "and the altitude necessary to accomplish this will greatly shorten their time in the air, and their distance. bal loon which flies over the Alps cannot etay in the air more than o4 hours
 T expect to get out of Switzerland either through the Rhone Valley to the south or through the Rhine Valley on the north. I want to fly as low as possible-keeping always below 5000 feet if I can manage it-and will be able therefore to remain in the air perhaps as long as 4S hours,
 If I find it necessary to cross any mountains, I may have to rise to 1s.. 600 feet or more, but this I hope to avoid. If my plans go as l expect, will land in Russia "
 Has Made 600 Flights.
 During his career as a balloonist Honeywell declared he has made near ly 500 flights has ranked high in honors. He holds many distance and endurance trophies, and proba ply has the experience of flying in more parts of the world than any other balloon i.t.
 Probably his most adventurous flight was in the international race from Stuttgart, Germany in 1912, He flew 1850 miles and landed in Russia 100 miles west of Moscow His bal loon was torn to pieces and used for clothing by the peasants and he was held by the Russian authorities for almost a week suspected of being a spy. The American consul effected his release. Then, again in 1920 he covered more than 1000 miles win ming the American race from Birm- ingham. He landed in Canada.
 Gordon Bennett Cup.
 If Honeywell should be successful in winning the race from Geneva he will obtain possession of the Gordon r,,r e;lx :, ;cl Ia retains until the next international race. The country whose entrant wins has the privilege of fixing the place

 Important new types of machines for the use of the navy shortly will be adopted.
 Development of the naval wing of flying" said an official Of the air min istry. has been greater in England than in any other country We claim that the naval side of the air serYice is the most efficient and up-to-date in the world.
 We have about 9s fighting ma chimes in commission, equivalent to eight squadrons; another As are in | use for training purposes, and over 300 are in reserve, apart from ma chimes requiring reconditioning. These can all be manned. Only one squa- dron is abroad.
 "At any moment we can put 700 or 500 machines into the air, and we have an additional 5000 machines available"
 Tests Are Made.
 Secret tests carried out by aircraft attacks on battleships are said to have proved the effectiveness of smoke screens thrown out by aircraft before attacking with torpedoes. The ma chimes used were torpedo planes and the torpedoes carried oil instead of the usual explosive charge. A part of the fleet was detailed to be prepared for a sudden attack from the air, but the time of attack was not given and anti-aircraft gunners were kept on the alert.
 The planes appeared high up out of range and suddenly planted a smoke screen around the fleet by means of bombs. Behind 1t they twisted and turned until they had ob- aimed broadside position. The tor oedoes were discharged at short range | and 1t Is understood the umpire awarded 100 per cent hits.
