LEVINE is CRITICIZED.
Removed Part of Magnetic to Prevent
DrOuhin Using Plane.

PARIS, Aug. IL CP9.-Rumor brought
small gallery of enthusiastic fight
fans to lie Bourget flying field in the
early hours of this morning in the
hope of seeing one or two, or, 1t was
even said, three planes take off for
New York, but they had their vigil for
nothing. Neither pilot, navigator nor
passenger appeared, and toward dawn
most of the watchers reluctantly left.
Among the rumors was one that
Dieudonne Coste would arrive at LIE
Bourget from the Villa Coublay field.
He was not heard from. although the
hum of an occasional automobile
passing on the high road brought fans
out Of buildings to gaze eagerly to the
sky in the belief that he might be ap-
preaching. Coste's airplane, which is
known as the Nungesser-Co has
become the favorite of aviation ex-
perts in the race for Westward trans
atlantic honors.
The Weather Seemed Good.
The night was fair enough, with a
clear star.lit sky and faint wind, in
fact everything seemed to justify the
hopes of the little band. but the latest
weather reports indicated that condi-
tions over the Atlantic had tended to
become worse rather than improve,
and these prompted the enthusiasts
to abandon the watch.
Fresh trouble between Charles A.
Levine, owner of the transatlantic
plane Columbia, and Maurice
Drouhin, engaged to pilot the craft
back to New York, has caused con-
siderable stir in the air world. The
trouble developed when Drouhin, on
making an inspection of the CO.
lumbia yesterday afternoon, found
that the contact points had been re-
moved. He did not conceal his dis
pleasure. according to the stories.
when the owner said he had removed
them.
Levine Is Criticized.
The newspapers are full of this
latest development. some of them,
criticizing Levine severely. even ex-
| pressing doubt whether the Columbia
ever will really start.
mir. Levine begins his chicaneries
| again." says L'Auto, leading sport
ing daily. "One may well ask If the
Columbia will ever see the sky of

honor and glory Of greater Ger

IRISH GOVERNMENT
CRISIS IS DELAYED
Vote of Confidence on Co.'S
grave Ministry to Be
Taken Tuesday.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, Ireland, August 12.-The
life of the Cosgrave government Of the
Irish Free State has been prolonged
at least until next Tuesday.
Postponement Of the crisis expected
to result from the seating today of
Eamon de Valera and the A members
of his Fianna Fail party in the Dali
Eireann, was seen in the announce
ment in the Dali this afternoon that a
vote of confidence on motion of Tom
Johnson, parliamentary labor leader.
would be taken Tuesday.
Government Is Outnumbered.
Counting the Fianna Fail votes, the
combined opposition in the Dali will
number II. as against a possible 81
for the governmenD.
The announcement was made before
a crowded and eXpectant house, which
included the Fianna Fail deputies. 1t
had been expected that Mr.. Cosgrave
might resign Immediately in view of
the prospective adverse majority.
When the Dali assembled for its ses'
sion this afternoon 144 of the 153
deputies were present. The largest
number attending any previous ses-
sion was 80, owing to the abstention
of the de Valera group from partici-
pating.
Galleries Are Crowded.
Both the public and official galleries
were crowded and there was gather.
ing outside the building when the ses-
sion began. The House was called to
order without any demonstration and
discussion began.
Mr.. Johnson inquired when the
House would be given an opportunity
of raising the question of confidence
Mr.. Cosgrave If vote of confidence
could be taken Tuesday, and the lat
ter replied Certainly"
81 must not be taken as agreeing
to it," he added, laughingly.
With the impending defeat Of the
government and a change of ministry
generally conceded. there is much talk
about the composition of the next cab
met. Belief is expressed in some
quarters that Mr.. Johnson, prospec.
tive successor of Mr.. Cosgrave, will
endeavor to conciliate the business
community by appointing one or more
business men, who are not members
Of the Dali. to cabinet posts.
New Coalition Ready.
A new coalition headed by Tom
Johnson, parliamentary labor leader.
is ready to take over the government
if Mr.. Cosgrave resigns, but is keep.
ing it's plan secret. The coalitionists
met this afternoon just before attend.
ing the Dali.
Both Mr.. Cosgrave and Mr.. John.
son have expressed themselves as
pleased with the decision of the Fian.
ma Fail deputies to enter the Dahl.
"It is the best thing that has hap
pened to this country in the last five
years." the former said last night
after Mr.. De Valera and his follow
ers had taken the prescribed oath Of
allegiance.

CHINESE LEADERS
DECLINE IS SEEN
Chang Kai-Shek and Chang
Tso-Lin May Soon Be Sent
Into Eclipse.

SHANGHAI, August 12.-When the
Nationalist generalissimo Chang kai.
Shek, reached Shanghai in his tri-
umphal campaign in the Yangtze Val
ley last March, the whole city bios
somed with tens of thousands OF kuo'
mintang flags. Every street was hned
with them They symbolized the JOY
Of the Chinese at release from the
Northern militarists. The flags re-
mained up until few days ago. Now,
suddenly, all have disappeared. The
streets are utterly bare OF bunting.
The phenomenon represents the
present Chinese opinion that Chang
Kai-Sheks regime is doomed and will
fail utterly within few weeks, leav.
ing room for the return of Gen. Sun
Chuan. Fang, whom the Chinese pre-
fer here rather than Gen. Chang
Chung-Chang. Each Of these North
ern generals held Shanghai previous
to Chang Kai-Shek's capture of the
city last Spring.
Chang Tso-I.in May Quit.
The same opinion regarding Chang
Kai-Shek's imminent downfall Is held
by many foreigners, but there Is
growing theory that international pol
itics is involved and that a military
figure is to be removed presently
namely, Marshal Chang Tso-Lin. over
lord of Manchuria and dictator to
Peking, with his supporters.
This is to be effected by Southern
strategy. teasing the Northern troops
into indefensible territory close to
the Yangtze and then cutting them
off. At the same time christian
General" Feng Yu-Hsiang, ally of
the Southerners. will drive toward
Peking and capture the national
capital.
But whether Chang Kai Shek wins
or loses in the next few weeks. local
revolutionists are convinced that ne
no .longer represents the Kuomin-
tang CNationalist revolutionary parity
and the acred principles OF Sun
Yat-Sen.
WhangpOO Fleet Increased.
The international fleet in the
Whangpoo River here has been in
creased by the addition of a Japa-
nese Red Cross ship. Furthermore.
a Japanese cruiser. so long figure
in the river off the Japanese con-
sulate, has hauled up its anchor and
left, supposedly for Yangtze points.
Shanghai's Fascist publicity an
nounced today that it is growing
with great rapidity. Its two head
quarters are flooded with men OF
all races anxious to join-British.
Americans. French. Belgians, Portu-
guese, Dutch. Danes, Latvians. Chi
nese and Japanese. Chinese who
have been living in a reign of ter
ror, with constant fear of being kid
naped, welcome this new order as
promising relief which the ordinary
apparatus of the law cannot afford
They have volunteered heavy con-
tributions which are not yet needed
Organization of the Fascist shows
how opinion is shaping for definite
action Fascist founders believe the
step will help make Shanghai safe
for both Chinese and foreigners.

ADANA, Turkey, August "a
More than 100 striking railway
men of the Anatolian Railroad

About 1000 railwaymen went on
strike Wednesday for higher

strike in the Turkish republic. The
government has the situation we'll
in hand. Motor trucks are being
