THREE LANDINGS REPORTED so FAR
 IN BALLOON RACE
Remainder Of IT Entrants Remain In Air
 No Accidents

BRUSSELS, June 16.-(By Asso- ciated Press. up to midnight safety and sanity seems to be marking the bal loon race for the Gordon Bennett cup. Three landings have been reported. Capt. H. E. Honeywell, pilot of Ameri- can Uncle Sam," came down near Rouen; tAe Italian pilot, Major Joseph Valle., in command of the Cramino, reached Fecamp and the British Ban- shee H., Major Baldwin, came down to the ground at Aubaue near Briey, in the Meurthe et-Mosell department about 6 o'clock tonight.
 A rough estimate of the distances made by aero clubs gives the Banshee III. 130 miles fCramphina 126; Uncle Sam 1S1, and the British Margaret (sighted) 1S7.
 Messages from the Prince Leopold (Belgium) by carrier pigeon, report that the night was foggy and progress slow, the balloon moving in a zig gag direction. The experience of the others doubtless was similar.
 Most of the 17 balloons which took off yesterday have not been heard from. They were supposed to report to the Belgian aero club. Atmospheric con- ditions were not very favorable for bal looming, and these that were seen at various points aloft were floating lag fly over western European land.
 After 24 hours in the air none of the balloons reported had travelled as far as every balloon which escaped the lightning in last years contest had ne- gotiated in two hours and as conditions stand there is no liklihood of broken record. It now becomes question of endurance and ability to remtain above and take advantage of every whiff of June wind.

WANTS DOG RIVER CHANNEL DEEPENEDl
E. V. Mcknight Appears Before
 Washington Authorities
(WashinRton Bureau) 1,

WASHINGTON, June 18.-To the board of review of the United States corps of engineers E. V. Knight of Indiana, with extensive interests near Mobile, will appeal tomorrow for the improvement of Dog river.
 Mir. Knight reached Washington to- day, and in addition to his own state ment is prepared to file brief pre-. pared by the Mobile Chamber of Com merce.
 An improved Dog river so, that the water will be six feet in depth will make of Mobile practically an island, MT. Knight is prepared to prove. with the result that most inviting field for the location of industries will be pro vided. Hewill state that the improve ment desired can be effected at a cost of approximately $50,O00.
 The project was surveyed and ap- proved by the local engineer, Major North, but was rejected by the board of review in Washington. The board had the impression. it is indicated, that the improvement was proposed in behalf of Mir. Knight. It is the object of the Chamber of Commerce in its brief to prove that Dog river made navigable will be in the interest of all the people of south Alabama.
 The Alabama delegation supports Mir. Knight and the Mobile citizens.

Continued From Page One.) this rule and the fight on the issue is al: ,dy underway.
 Fight Is LukewarE-
 Despite the current talk in McAdoo circles that determined effort will be made to abrogate the two-thirds rule, it cannot be taken too seriously. Even McAdoo's heavy delegate strength is not sufficient to sweep aside the present rule of the convention. It does not follow, moreover, that all of the dele gates pledged to vote for McAdoo for the nomination would support a move ment to eliminate the voting rule. There is another reason to suspect that McAdoo may hesitate before try ing to overthrow the two-thirds sys- tenn. If he was defeated in the attempt, the loss of prestige suffered thereby would be highly damaging to his can didacy.
 As. for the candidacy itself, and the question of who is going to win it, the outlook has resolved itself into a discriminating choice of dark horses. No expert has had the temerity to fix definitely upon the nan. There is a general tendency-and even it may prove unfOunded-to assume that neltner or the TWO leadlng offerings, Smith and McAdoo, can get farther than deadlock. Proceeding with that assumption, conjecture races on to the names of John w. Davis, Oscar Underwood, Senator Ralston and Gar ter Glass. There are other; and one of them, as vet unnamed, may be the nominee. Al Smith was asked Mon day what he thought about the situa- tiOn:
 T don't know, that is the truth and it is the easiest thing to say and re- member. Nobody knows and what is the use of pretending he does?"
 There are about 400 votes in this convention, say the McAdoo men. that Smith never can get There are all most as many, the Smith supporters re- tort, that never will be turned to Me Adoo. Therefore, the dark horse.

CHRIST|ANFA|TH
IVES WITH
ISLAM
Near East Speaker Warns
Church Council Of MosIem
Propaganda

ATLANTA, Dec. 6.--The Christian
religion and Mohammedan propa-
ganda are meeting in a World con-
test for supremacy, with the ancient
bars which formerly prevented
spreading of the gospel modified or
completely swept away in most
Mohlmmedan countries. But the
gospel has not lost its power.
This message from the Near East
was delivered this evening TO the
Federal Council Of Churches by the
Reverend Doctor M. Zwemer. OF
Cairo, Egypt, a famous authority
on the Moslem world. He said:
Plagiarism in Africa Is crum-
bling, but Mohammedism contests
with Christianity for supremacy
on that continent.
christianity and Islam face
each other as rivals for. world
dominion. Compromise is i'm.
possible. The whole of Christen.
dom faces the whole of the Mos.
lem world in the open.
The enormous activities of
Moslem journalism are contribut-
ing to tolerance and accessibility,
but Islam has entered q new
world. It is challenging America
in Europe by its active propa-
ganda."
While Mohammedism is open to
Christianity as never before, the
Koran has been translated into forty
languages and can be bought in Sec
tons, as monograph records, in
Cairo and Calcutta, Doctor Zwemer
said. Islamism is now found in five
continents. In North America they
number but 10000, but they are ac-
tive in their propaganda through
their publication, THE Moslem Sun
RISE" printed in Chicago. There
are more than 10000 in South
America. In Paris there are 5000.
: Doctor Zwemer pointed out, how
ever, that modification and abolition
of restrictions in Mohammedan
countries has opened the door of
opportunity for great work by the
Christian church, which should
move forward faster than ever be-
fore.
Doctor Zwemer concluded:
"A door once barred and bolted,
nailed, Is now open. The gospel
has not lost its power"
At the day session, Mrs. w. A.
Newell, of Winston-Salem, N. c.,
superintendent OF social service of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, discussed THE Christian
viewpoint upon social and moral
questions" declaring bitterness be-
tween the races has been allayad,
employers have dared to make
Jesus teachings the rule for regula-
ton OF relations with Aemployes,
thus dissipating many troublesome
disputes, resulting in better service
to the public through the efforts
