WORLD FLIGHT
 GOES MERELY
 ON SECOND LAP
Uncle Sam's AviatOrs Con- quer Most Difficult
 Terrain

EUGENE, Ore, March 1S.-Over terrain as rugged as any t..ey will encounter in their pioneer flight around the world, the army squadron completed the second lap of its 30,000 mile journey Tuesday virtually on sched, ule. A momentary mishap, early in the day, was erased by swift recovery.
 Major F. l.. Martin, piloting airplane No. 1, of the Douglas fleet, yolplaned to Eugene flying field at 3 :55 p. m. today. He was closely followed by Lieut.. Lowell Smith, in plane No. 2, which skinned to the ground at exactly 4 D. m. The trip from Sacra- mento was completed in six hours and seven minutes by Martins plane.
 Major Martin said the trip north- bound was rather rough, because of the strong head winds, in which the planes performed very satisfactorily.
 What trouble Lieutenant Wade, in plane No. 8 was having which forced him to land, Martin was unable to say. On learning that Wade was again in the air en route to Eugene he declared he was confident the trouble was unim- portant.
 "The trip over the country in the vicinity of Mount Shasta was wonder full" Martin said. We flew at ap- proximately 6,00O feet elevation over this rough territory, which gave plenty of opportunity to observe the contours and realize the ruggeansss of the: n0pn- tafns." =
 Martin declared the planes will stop at Vancouver, Wash, tomorrow about noon, from where they will proceed later in the day for Seattle.
 Accompanying the Douglas planes was Lieut.. Virgil Haines, from Mather field, in a light, fast machine.
 Airplanes from Vancouver, Wash, including one piloted by Lieut.. Oakley G. Kelley, who last year with Lieuten- ant Macready, established the trans continental flight record, met the flyers here.
 Wlecome was extended to Major Martin and his companions by Acting Mayor K. M. McAllister and the city council.
 SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 1S.- Taking off into a 9 mile north wind the trio of round-the-world air cruisers left Mather field in a perfect triangle formation at 0:48 a. m. Tuesday.
 Major Martin was in the lead and Lieutenants Smith and Wade formed the base of the triangle.
 Hundreds of persons crowded the guarded lines about the field and waved bon voyage to the flyers, off on the second day of their historic expedition.
 As on Monday, the first day of the trip, people living along the route of the planes passage watched the passing and telephone and telegraph reports throughout the day reported their prog ress.
