with their two-men crews, were
drifting northwsrd through the
trackless paths of the air seeking
new marks OF endurance and dis

The balloonists expect to be over
Indiana or Ohio tomorrow morning
if all goes well.
The balloons got away easily, ris-
ing in gentle breeze that swept
Kelly Field, the starting point, from
the south.
The pilot balloon rose in the air
at 4.43 p. M. and the race was on.
The pilot headed off lightly west of

that there would be slight cross cur

and that it would then drift north
eastward across the Mississippi river.

AMERICANS SAFE

Berne, Apr. 23.-(By A. Pas
far as can be learned, it appears i'm
probable that any Americans were
killed in the collision between the
Zurich and Milan express trains near
Bellinzona this morning. No reports
of deaths or injuries have been re-
ported from the sleeper in which
four Americans were travelling and
it is believed that they escaped.
TIT. American legation and the
consulate at Berne up to g o'clock
tonight were without word that any
Americans had been killed or in
jured and the manager of the Goth
ard Railway said that while all the
dead had not been identified there
were probably no Americans among
them.
The dead already identified include
three Germans, one Italian and one
Czech, all in a German passenger
car which was destroyed by fire.
Latest reports indicate that those
killed will not exceed 90.
