HONG KONG, June 1s.-Persons

that. there will be any difficulty in
preventing Lieut.. Lowell H. Smith,
commander of the American round
world aerial expedition, from con-
tinuing around the globe with other
fliers who have reached Tourane. In
do China Smith was forced down
near Hue, Anhan, by motor trouble.
However, as there is no suitable
equipment where he landed with his
Lieut.. Leslie P. Arnold.
some delay is expected before they
can install motor and start on.
Their landing place is about $50
miles from Saigon. or one days run
for the American destroyer, which is
to convey a new motor to them.
Smiths engine has given him serious
trouble on three of the six stages of
the journey since it was installed at

completed the wall of concrete will
be one foot eight inches in thick

sixty-eight feet in length and about
seven feet above the center OF the

Cost Runs In Thousands.
1t is estimated, unofficially, that
the cost of the repair work for
three days will be about $1,000. Ten
thousand board feet of timber alone
will go into the supporting walls. A
large amount of concrete and similar
items must be considered. The con-
crete is expected to cost $500 alone.

approximate $1,000.

in no danger of water famine to-
