WORRIES EXPRESSED BY THE WAR DEPT.
Final Hop of World Pliers Is
 Most Desperate One

Washington, Aug. G.-With the world flight entering its final phase and its great prize within the grasp of the American aviators. reports to the War Department today empha- sized the seriousness of the obstacle erected in the path of successful com pletion by adverse weather conditions along the Greenland coast.
 The army advance party charged with the duty of establishing q fuel and repair base at Angmagsalik, the next scheduled stopping place. has been halted fifteen miles away from that port by ice fields which are des- cribed as worse than recorded in many years, in dispatches from the cruiser Milwaukee. Lieutenant l.. D. Schultz, head of the party, was said to be struggling determinedly" to carry out his mission but the messa ge made no prediction of the outcome of these efforts.
 Wireless communication has been established, the Milwaukee reported, with the convoy which accompanied Lieutenants Smith and Nelson to Rey- kjavik, Iceland. The planes, the Chi cago and New Orleans, arrived in good shape, the department was in- formed, and only minor repairs will be necessary before the flight is con- tinued. It has been decided to delay the takeoff for Greenland pending a report from the Angmagsalik expedi- ton. but the impression here is that the two remaining fliers cannot afford long to delay their departure from Iceland in view of the certainty that ice conditions in the North Atlantic will be worse rather than better as the season advances.
 Absence of an established base at Angmagsalik while materially increas- ing the odds against the fliers is not viewed as warranting a long wait at the present stop. The planes Tin a pinch" could be rcfueled on the open ice.
 Unless abnormal conditions prevent their approach to the supplyship, a continued flight might be attempted to Ivigtut on the southwest coast of Greenland slated as the second jump in that Island an the takeoff for 1n- dia harbor, Labrador. The second al- formative would necessitate a straight flight of 1 1,O0O miles and while this Is considered within the capacity of the planes, the possibility would have to be faced of heavy consumption of gas through adverse gales such as were met in the approach to Reykjavik.
