Two Planes Close Icy Gap From ( Greenland ToLabrador
President Coolidge Halls Heroic Tour As One
 That Will Inspire Whole World

40 miles an hour and speeded their machines at times as high as 126 miles an hour.
 Today the American army men brought to successful termination the first continuous, aerial circumnaviga- tion of the earth, excluding the North American continent. Theirs was the first westbound crossingsof the Atlantic ocean by airplane.
 Like Gray Gulls The planes swept in from the ocean like huge gray gulls and, flying low nxefs the broad rxnseiAes tfs,sessS Ssts zpie4 cled until they dropped to their bright yellow buoys and floated lightly in the green water under the shelter of lofty ridges of rocks.
 This cove was chosen because of the comparatively safe landing conditions it afforded and for the additional reason that it is situated on a promontory jut- ting towards Greenland, providing the shortest route across the arm of the At est route across the arm of the At. lantic. which extends north northwest into Davis strait.
 On shore near where the planes were moored were group of newspaper men and cameramen who had lived on the destroyers here since August 2, few fisherfolk and detail of sailors from the Lawrence. Coming of the fliers was signalled to those at Ice Tickle by men from the Lawrence stationed on Rodney Mundy hills close by and then to the wireless station several miles away. Off shore near White Cockade island was the Lawrence acting as a guard ship to the planes after the avia-

SCIENTIST HOME
 FROM FAR NORTH
Visits Berlin After Years In
 Northern Lapland

BERLIN, August 31.-Heikki Hyyry- leinen, a flaxen-haired, blue-eyed, tanned young scientist, his wife, Eli, and their infant daughter, are in Berlin for the first time in several years, taking in the sights of the city with much enjoyment, and visiting old friends.
 Away up in northern Lapland, 80 miles beyond the northernmost Finnish railroad station, Heikki attends to the instruments of the magnetic observatory and makes scientific reports. He was educated at Helsingfors, coming in to the city from a nearby farm,
 While at their station the Hyyry- ieinens have all the necessaries of life, except what they raise or catch up in Sodankyla, sent to them from Helsing- fors. There is plenty of fish; rabbits, white in winter and gray during the brief summer, are plentiful; mush- rooms grow in overabundance, and in normal summer seasons few hardy vegetables, such as potatoes, cabbage, turnips and lettuce can be raised Ev- erything else, however, is brought un- der considerable difficulty from the Finnish capital.
 Mrs. Hyyrylenian, who was Eli Erickson, knows the United States. She travelled to Europe in 1915 on Henry Ford's peace ship, and later became clerk at the American legation at Hell singfors, where she met and married Mir. Hyyrylenien. She is an able linguist.

RUSSIAN CHILDREN
 NAME THEMSELVES
Only Procedure Is To File Writ
 ten Request

MOSCOW, August 31.-(By Associ. atcd Press. )-Persons seeking to change their names in. Russia find much less difficulty in doing so than in other European countries. The only proceed. ure necessary is to file a written re, quest with the soviet registrar of vital statistics. In the old days one had to secure permission of the emperor if he wanted to change his name.
 Under a recent amendment to ex' isting soviet law even children are per. mitted to adopt other names. Consent of their parents is the only require. ment. It is common thing for several children of the same parents to bear different names.
 On account of the gigantic political and social upheaval in Russia, the os. tracism of those identified with the old czarist regime, and the desire of former political prisoners to disguise their past applications for change of name are much more frequent in Russia than in any other country.

ON BOARD THE U. s. s. RICH MOND, AT ICE TICKLE, Labrador, August 31 1.-The American army fliers Lieut.. Lowell H. Smith and Lieut.. Eric Nelson came overseas today from Greenland to Labrador, closing up an. other long and perilous gap in their round-the-world flight. {, They com.

 With the American pilots were their mechanicians, Lieut.. John Harding, IT.. and Lieut.. Leslie P. Arnold, to whose eunceasing labors not little of the sue. cess of the flight is due. Ships of the American navy have unceasingly guard ed this course across the straits for many days.
 Five Months And Fourteen Days
 Just five montks and IA days after beginning their world-girdling tour, the American fliers landed today in the waters of continental North America. They took the air at Ivigtut at 6:29 a. m. eastern standard time, and ar rived at Ice Tickle at 1 :1S D. m., east ern standard time. They completed the difficult crossing of the North Atlantic, beset with mishaps and delays in the early stages. covering the last stretch of 57O miles--next to the Iceland Greenland flight, the most difficult of the entire Atlantic journey-in six hours and 49 minutes.

5000 AMERICANS
 FACED BY PERIL
 OF CHINESE WAR
Foreign Warships At Shanghai Believed Ad-
 equate For Protection

WASHINGTON, August 31.-Three destroyers have been ordered at Shanghai and the gunboat Sacramento to Annoy, China, as a precautionary measure by Admiral Thomas, Wash ington, commander in chief fof the Treee m epassn,rastss aaasssn and S6ochow 1distriets is csopifahduing and and the thrush of refugees to Shanghai goes on unceasingly.
 Britisher In Command
 Rear Admiral David Murray Ander- son, commander of the British Yangtze patrol, has been designated commander of foreign war craft in Shanghai har- bor. They number ten.
 Woosung, a suburb of Shanghai, and the vicinity of the basin at the mouth of the Yangtze river were undisturbed today.
 Rear Admiral Charles B. Mevay Jr., commanding the American Asiatic squadron, said he considered the foreign fleet now assembled adequate to deal with the situation.
 About 5000 American citizens are in the foreign quarters of Shanghai and American business concerns have large investments in the region.
 Details of the impending war have not reached the state department as yet.
 Foreign citizens at Shanghai already have formed municipal defense corps.
 Greater danger surrounds a large number of Americans in the interior.
 The United States government all ready has taken steps to stop the war in the two provinces around Shanghai fearing that it may soon spread and set all China ablaze. In its recent note this government pointed out that in such an eventuality this government would adopt such measures and utilize such means as are available to us to afford adequate protection to foreign residence.
 Fear that all China may be involved in the war is increased here by reports
