Lone French Filler
Off on World Trip
In Great Airplane

PARIS, April 26.-Winging his
way eastward in q lone attempt to
snatch for France world supremacy
in distance flight, Lieutenant Pei
letter D'Oisy has become the French
hero OF the hour.
With American planes and Brit
ish machine already started on world
flights, Lieutenant D'Oisy hoped
off from Villa Coublay, accompanied
by a single mechanic. He flew a
big Breguet army plane. with no
spare parts. The first day, D'Oisy
reached Bucharest without a stop,
and Friday "hopped" another thou
sand miles to Aleppo.
Up to $40 p. m. Saturday the air
ministry said it had no message Of
D'Oisy's departure, but it was con-
sidered possible he might have taken
off without notifying Paris, and al
ready be on his way to Bassorah, at
the head of the Persian gulf.
If the plane did start from Aleppo
this morning, as scheduled, air min
istry officials estimated that it would
cover the 900-mile lap between the
two towns in less than eight hours,
making the arrival in Bassorah some
time this evening. If possible,
D'Oisy will go on to Japan.

NAMING Of BURTON
. AS COP. KEYNOTER
SURPRISES PARTY

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Selec-
ton of Theodore e. Burton, Of
Ohio, as temporary chairman and
keynote sounder of the Republican
national convention has caused a
near sensation in political circles
here.
Burton is an ultra-conservative.
He was chosen by President Cool
idge personally when everyone had
expected some concession to the,
progressive wing Of the party in Sc
! lection of convention officials.
Therefore. in seeking the meaning
of the choice of Burton, political
observers here were impressed by
these things:
1. That the choice Of this most
conservative of conservatives to
sound the party keynote for the
campaign, and this means the Cool
| idge keynote this year, shows that
| the president intends to stand pal
on those conservative doctrines IT,
which he always has remained true,
and will not surrender anything to
the liberals.
| 2. That Mr.. Coolidge's running
mate in the campaign also Is likely
to be a conservative and not, as
some believed likely, a member Of
the progressive wing of the party.
3. That the emphasizing by the
president of his conservatism is
likely to give further impetus to
the Independent or third party
movement.
It is in connection with this last
point that the choice of Burton
caused most disappointment here
among those Republicans who would
like to see the administration pla-
cate, as far as consistently posi-
BILE, the liberals within the party.
Instead of placating them, the nam
I ing of Burton will tend to drive
them towards the Independent move
ment, liberal leaders here feared.
The conservative leaders hailed
the choice as an indication that the
president intends to stick firmly to
