UNITED STATES MAIL FIELD,
HAYWOOD. Ill, September 1.-THE
Army oundthe-world flyers hoped
off from the air mail field here at
S:11 am. on the next stage of the
journey, the 440-mile flight to Omaha.
Flying conditions were ideal, and
Lieut. Lowell Smith, the commander,
said he expected to reach Fort Crook
Field, Omaha, in about six hours.
Lieut.. Smith was the first to take
the air in his flag plane Chicago at
S:11 am. After him went Lieut..
Wade, in the Boston H. at S:1lk.
Lieut.. Nelson. in the New Orleans. was
off the ground at S:12.
Flying mt 500 Feet.
The three planes quickly were IN
forma ton, and al an altitude of about
500 feet headed into the West. They
planned straight airway course to
Davenport. Iowa, where the planes
will circle once over Davenport
Iowa, and Moline and Rock Island
ILL., They will then pass over Iowa
City. Des Moines and thence into the
regular all mail route to Omaha.
AS the three ascended the hundreds
of spectators sent up rousing cheer
The visibility was so good that the
three planes could be seen for miles.
The sun glistened off the top of the
Iorange-colored wings as they sped
away. Excellent flying weather was
reported all the way to Omaha
The schedule to be followed by the
flyers, as tentatively announced, calls
for the night being spent at Omaha;
hop off tomorrow to st. Joseph,
Mo. where only a short stop will be
made, and a continuation to Musko-
gee, Okla, to reach there that night
1t is planed to leave Muskogee Fri
day for Dallas.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
TOKYO. September 1.-THE mo-
mentous situation in the Far East
hangs in the balance between fright
full bloodshed and holocaust and
peaceful reconstruction both of the
personnel and of the system of gov
ernment. The decision would appear
to rest almost entirely with WI Pei
Flu as sponsor for the Peking -Chihli
faction. This is the expressed
opinion of LANG ShiYi to The Star
correspondent. The former premier
has not hitherto been considered as
an ally of Sun Yat-Sen. although
native Cantonese. He says that WI
Pei-Fu is forcing a policy that makes
it necessary that WI Pei-Fu himself
must now be eliminated before China
can be restored to unity and freedom
from factional strife comes within
the scope of practical solution
The present fighting between Che
kianE and Kiangsu is merely
prelude or gambit. while WI Pei
Fu's main opponents are Chang Tso-
Lin and Sun Yat-Sen, who are wait
ing for an indication as to which
way WI proposes to jump. If he de-
cides to proceed on the policy of
unification by force the fat is in
the fire and the fight will surely be on.
III w u rel throws up his hands China
may be saved from further blood
shed.
Prediction Difficult.
1t is quite impossible even for the
best informed to predict the outcome
of the armed struggle, which is GER
tain to involve the entire country
There is reason to believe that Chang
Tso-Lin is we'll supplied with arms.
ammunition, money and men, and
that Gen. Lu is determined to retain
the arsenal port of Shanghai, while
WI Pei-Fu has the best body of
trained soldiery and sufficiency of
arms, together with all the resources
that Peking can muster All three
undoubtedly are receiving outside
support with interested offers of
arms, ammunition and money.
WI Pei-Fu. however. has not any
control of the kuomintang. a secret
national organization with innumcr-
able membership permeating north
and south, the army, navy and liter
ate class: also the diplomats repre-
senting China abroad or even holding
office.
Peking is awaiting the turn of
events.
