MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 81. -
Twelve gigantic gas bags tonight
were sailing through endless unehart-
ed areas Of upper air as participants
in the 18th national balloon race,
which started here this afternoon and
ends for each navigator whenever
and wherever it becomes necessary
to return to earth.
Thirteen pilots took balloons into
the air but the sky pilgrimage for
one. Roy Donaldson, of Springfield,
Ills, ended almost as soon as 1t be-
gan His bag was unable to hold its
gas and when Donaldson saw himself
headed into Lake Michigan he came
to earth at Bayview in the southeast
section of the city after a four mile
Journey. The landing was made
within a few hundred feet of the
lake.
OF the II participants soaring
through the air, only II are contes-
tants, for one of the naval bags filled
with helium gas and carrying a re-
Gently invented radio device, is fly
ing as a non contestant. The greater
lifting power of the non n-inflammable
helium made it unfair for this bag
to compete with the others so it is
making the journey purely for exper-
mental purposes.
Balloons Start with Wind
The balloons We're started on their
way by a gusty wind which carried
them rapidly south by southeast.
Special weather reports showed,
however, that as soon as an altitude
of 5000 to 5000 feet was reached the
big bags would be shifted into a
northeasterly direction by a steady
southwest wind All of the pilots
planned to take advantage Of this
air current which would carry them
into Northeastern United states or
Southeastern Canada. provided they

LONDON, May 31---With Germany
undefiant, Premier Lloyd George had
planned TO make a brief statement on
reparations in the house of commons
this afternoon. but when John Robert
Clines, labor member. opened the de-
bate and attributed the present diff
culties to the government's election
pledges of 1918, the prime minister
launched into a lengthy defense of the
reparations commission and the
treaty of Versailles.
Whatever laclof balance was evil
dent in the working OF the treaty.
and likewise the workings of the
league OF nations, he asserted, was
due to the absence of the United
States, who. having no claims with
respect to reparations, was friendly
to France, Italy, Great Britain and
Germany, and was concerned in seek
ing that reparations were not given
to extremes, to upset the balance of
world trade.
Mr.. Lloyd George praised the Ger
man attitude toward the reparations
commission and Indicated that so
long as she was not defiant Germany
could count on Britain.s sympathy
and understanding of the difficulties
involved in meeting the treaty con-
ditions He declared, however, that
there was no cause for disagree
ment between France and England,
for should Germany refuse to attempt
to fulfill the commissions proposals,
Great Britain's place would be at
the side of the Versailles signatoTies,
despite the Misrepresentation which
We're being made.
| Great Britain believed in the ira
ditional policy Of moderation and full
filIment, continued the prime min
ister and he gave warning that iso-
lated action on the part of any of the
allies would be disastrous to the en-
tenta between them.
1t is the policy pursued after
Waterloo toward France. when Russia
and Prussia and the other victors
urged that France be trampled, said
Lloyd George The government in
| that day refused to countenance such
| a policy. We are pursuing the same
course But if Germany is defiant,
| If she should say. this treaty we de-
cline to carry out it would be diff
| ferent A. German policy of non
| fulfillment would be a policy OF i'm
mediate disaster :.
| 1T is not question of France act
! ing alone if there is defiance of the
Versailles treaty. We are signatories
to the treaty which the house OF
commons ratified. We are commit
4 ted to it. In spite of all misrepre-
sentations we still stand for the pol
| icy of moderation and fulfillment."

TWELVE GIGANTIC CAS- BAGS IN
18TH NATIONAL BALLOON RACE

Lakes, looked on by the pilots as the
greatest peril of the hazardous flight.
Virtually nothing was known here OF
five of the bags after they left, for
they shot almost straight up into the
clouds which hung within 500 feet OF
the ground. and disappeared. Twen-
ty thousand persons, barred from the
park for fear of accidents and gath
cred on house tops and streets out
side, saw the bags suddenly become
invisible. These balloons were the
army bags piloted by Major oscar
Westover of Washington; Lieut.,
James IT. Neely of Ross Field, Calf;
the helium- filled naval bag conn
manded by Lieut.. j. l. Norfleet OF
Lakehurst, n. j., and the civilian
entries of Ralph Upson Of Detroit
and Bernard Won Hoffman OF st.
Louis, Mo.
The other flyers were visible for
some time.
Squalls, which blew UP at the start
of the race. made the getaways ex-
ceedingly difficult.
Major Westover, the second starter,
made the most beautiful get away OF
all. His army entry. loaded with life
rafts in case of a lake landing and
camping equipment in case the wilds
of Canada We're reached, shot almost
straight up. Within few minutes,
it was out of sight in the clouds.
Upson made a beautiful start and
the neat appearance of his craft
loaned to him by the army, made him
favorite with the spectators. His
balloon, although civilian craft, is
labeled II. S. Army No. g."
Commander Norfleet in the helium
filled naval bag told representative
of The Associated Press before he
shot into the air that he did not ex-
pect to come down for ten days. His
balloon carried almost twice as much
ballast as any other bag. besides be-
ing loaded with many instruments

Another feature of the heat wave
panic would be the campaign stated
by the newspapers to raise funds to
secure free ice for tenement dwellers

asked to tell how best to conserve
ones strength and how to moderate
ones diet until the heat wave should

As far as the other members Of

magnates make it known that all
of the players are being well taken
care of for their services and every
one must deliver the goods in order
to hold a position on the local repre-

AppltEdlt dSStFIS Iudl several OF
the errors credited to the two teams
in the game last Sunday afternoon
may be attributed to the condition
of the field which had to be covered
with loose ground. At IL o'clock
Sunday morning it appeared as if It
would be impossible to put the game
on, but the soft spots were covered
up inasmuch as 1t was a good base
ball day and the fans would be dis
appointed If the contest was can
celled.
When conditions warrant a fair
opinion by the magnates on the
work pf their players every man
who has not measured up to the
class which is necessary for a first
rate semi-pro team will be replaced.
This is taken TO mea that no men,
Der of the local team is sure of his

| opinion that the Montanas will
easily defeat the Speedways. while
other fans from the island have a
different opinion. Stapleton teams
in all branches of sport T bitter
rivals of Tottenville teams and for
this reason it is likely that Totem

the local team in this game. An
derson who played with Beauvais
Post last week, is a regular member
OF the Montana outfit.
According to fans who have seer
the Montaras in action, the Staple

more than the Tottenville players

outcome of the game. Chuck SOL
