Two Hours In Air
With Motorless Airplane
(Ry United Press. :

Berlin, Aug. 2l.-Accompishing
the unparalleled feat of soaring and
gliding in the air for two hours and
ten seconds in a motorless airplane
at Wasserkuppe Friday, gave the
worlds championship to Hantzen, a
student of the Hanover institute Of
technology.
Hantzen was showed off Mount
Wasserkuppe while the wind was
blowing over thirty miles an hour.
His airplane, the Vampire, was
waited upward for 100 metres, then
it glided and again climbed 100 me-
ters.
He remained soaring at this
height for an hour and forty-five
inmates. He glided for three quar-
ters of an hour when the velocity
of the wind dropped to ten miles an
hour Then, at a spot previously
designated, he made graceful
landing.
Before Hantzen smashed the
worlds record. a fellow student
named Martans had remained in the
air for an hour and five minutes.

SENATOR LODGE
MUST FIGHT TO
Hold HIS SEAT
Will Begin His Campaign
For denomination This
Week
TO APPEAL TO WOMEN
Democrats Want Political Revenge
For His Part In Defeating Will
sons Policies.
(By United PreSs.1

Washington, August. q Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, facing one of
the greatest battles of his long politi-
cal career, will begin his personal
campaign for denomination with a
series of speeches to Massachusetts
voters this week.
Realizing that he must fight to
retain his seat because Of the avowed
Democratic intention to get political
revenge for his part in defeating
Woodrow Wilson's Versailles treaty,
the Republican senate leader will make
an old-time campaign with numerous
speeches. Forced to remain in Wash
ington during the tariff debate he has
chafed some under the demands that
the party leadership has made upon
him, because during this period ms
opponents have been busy.
Lodge will begin his campaign with
an appeal to the women, upon whom
the Democrats are relying to consld-
cradle degree TO encompass his defeat.
He will seek at once to counteract
whatever effect the work of his enc
mics may have had in that direction.
On Tuesday he will address the wo-
men of Essex county in big mass
meeting at Salem Willows.
Lodge and his friends are su-
premely confident that even if he
were forced by the duties Of his po1-,
sition to remain in Washington all
summer and fall, he would be re-
nominated and reelected. But they
all feel better to know that he IS
going to get some campaigning.
Lodge to many of his Massachu-
setts onstituents-Lodge in the
flesh, and speaking to them-is
much more impressive and real than
Lodge represented by another, or
by the printed word In his own
person, his friends say, he can eX-
ercise that aristocratic New Eng
land spell on the voters, which he
is said to be able to WELD much
better than anybody else in New
England public life.
All attacks of the opposition will
be met. Lodge promised as he pre-
pared today to depart. The admin
istration, he feels, has made such "a
splendid record" that almost any
man who has been a part of the
administration ought to have no
trouble being reelected i ne will
Just point to that record.
From then on, Lodge will speak
practically every day until he is
required to return to Washington to
vote on the bonus bill or the final
disposition of the tariff County
rallys. county fairs, town meetings.
he will address them all in rapid
succession, conducting something as
near to "whirlwind" campaign as
a New Eglander ever approache.

of the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee. and this probably will be accepted
as the model upon which the House
will take action.
AEnough the senate is taking a rest
until Wednesday from The long tariif
grind. the foreign relations committee
met on the presidents proposal Tor
LEGISLATION giving federal courts pow
er to protect the treaty rights OF
aliens so that the federal government
could intervene and punish those re-
snonsible for violence such as the
Herrin massacre.
The bill Of Senator Kellogg. which
INCORPORATES the Presidents sugges-
tion may be reported favorably today
or tomorrow but it is not probable
that the Senate will act on it or any
other industrial legislation until next
week. after the soldiers bonus has
been disposed Of.
Senator Borah, chairman of the
Senate labor committee, said today he
would try to get the labor committee
together tomorrow to take up his bill
providing for fact-fnding agency i'm
the coal Industry. Borah's bill has
been endorsed bv the White House as
being in general, what the president
desires i'm the way of legislation to Sc
cure reliable facts regarding how much
money the coal operators are making,
whether wages are right and whether
prices are reasonable. Borah said he
intended to push vote on his bill as
soon as the bonus is out of the way.
Because the Sena,e is pledged TO
take up the bonus Wednesday. actual
steps toward working out the leglsla-
tive program asked by President
Harding will be left to the house this
week, But all the House intends to
do. under present pisns of republican
leaders. is to pass the coal investigat-
ing bill.
There IS the same strong sentiment
in the house as exists in the Senate
against making an attempt to enact
legislation providing for a federal
agency. financed by the Treasury, TO
buv coal and distribute it to interstate
commerce. This was one of the presi-
dents chief suggestions, but one which
will have 70 be backed up with consld-
cradle pressure from the White
House. If any action is to be obtained,
omit bv congress at this time.
Republican leaders at both ends
of the capitol have virtually decided
TO wait until next session before max
ing anv effort to put teeth in the
Esch-Cummins law 50 as to make en-
forceabe decisions Of the Railroad
Labor Board. They agree with the
President that a move in that direc-
ton at this time would only hamper
peace NEGOTIATIONS in the present rail-
road strike.
House members, believing they can
enact all the industrial legislation re-
qured within ten days are hoping LOT
another recess to enable them to get
back to their districts to continue their
campaigns.
