Hendaye, France, Sept. 7-P)-
Spain's' resignation from the League
of Nations was agreed upon at the

day. King Alfonso presided.
1t was the intention of the gov
eminent to despatch after the cab

from the league. The note was writ

Rivera himself In collaboration with
Foreign Minister Yanguas.
1t reproached the league for lack
of consideration shown to Spain
her prestige, traditions and impor-
lance as the mother country of 20
nations, who speak the same Ian
guage.
Regret is expressed that such a
step had to be taken. but it was as
serted that the sacrifices imposed by
the league do not compensate Spain
for what has taken place in the

Dead air" and a heavy plane re-
suited in a "crack-up' Tuesday fore

D." which for the past week has
been an attraction at Richardson S
Willows on the Belgrade road, but
fortunately the two aviators, Archie
Kicker, pilot, and Louis Belanger,
mechanic, both of Portland, were not
injured in the crash. The machine
unable to rise as fast as it should
have done, hit the top of an ash tree
on the westerly fringe of Sidney Bog,
just east of Richardson's and de-
scended into a dense growth of ever
green and grey birch, falling about
80 feet. II was badly damaged about
the wings and tail but the body, fu-
silage and engine~were intact after
the accident, and it Vas planned to
put the plane back into service. One
propeller blade and the handing car
riage were als6 broken.
The two men had taken off from
Richardson's field to journey to
Norridgewock, but the plane, heavy
from the rain of Monday, could not
clear the tops of the trees. The tip
of one wing collided wsth the tree
when they were at an altitude OF %
or 60 feet. swapping it short off, and
the machine swung around until it
was headed back toward Richard
sons before settling down through
the dense foliage, until one wing tip
had struck the ground. Several
trees were uprooted and many limbs
were broken off by the crash. from
which the aviators escaped without
a scratch.
In the afternoon work was imme-
diately begun swapping road
through the underbrush in order
that the plane might be taken out of
the bog. 1t was planned to remove
the wings and then to transport the
body out to clear ground where the
machine might be repaired.
