Both Balloon Race Entrants
 Forced to Land

Brussels. June g R.-Both the American entrants are definitely out of the balloon race for the Gordon Bennett cup. The S-4. with Lieuten- ants Flood and Mccormick. landed near Dieppe, France, yesterday. The Goodyear III, piloted by Wade T. Van Orman, today was considered disqualified because its pilot accept ed aid when the balloon fell at sea.
 The four balloons which were still unheard of out of the 1S that start ed Sunday were the Grand Charles. French, and the Belgica and Prince Leopold, Belgian. The Aero club at Brussels discredited rumors that Pilot De Muyter of the Belgica had been killed landing in England.
 The French balloon Picardie landed at Anneville, France it was reported here today.
