Rome May Be Goal
Of Chamberlin, All
Depending on His Gas

The BelIanca monopIane which
set out from Roosevelt Field this
morning for Europe is really bound
for Rome, according to confidential
advices reaching the United States
Coast Guard headquarters here to-
day from New York.
Admiral F.. C. Billiard, command.
ant, said he was advised that II
Chamberlin, the pilot, finds weather
conditions favorable after leaving
the Newfoundland coast, he will
take a circular southern sweep
across the Atlantic, passing far
south Of the British Isles and strik.
ing Europe along the southern
coast Of France.
The Coast Guard cutter Tampa
is on ice patrol about 400 miles east
of Cape Race, and Billiard radioed
the ship to keep q close lookout
for the Bellanca.
Weather conditions off Newfound-
land are good, according to advices
to the Coast Guard, but there are
indications OF foggy and stormy
weather further on.
From the standpoint Of distance,
there is little difference between
q flight to Rome and q flight to
Berlin.
The Rome flight would involve a
longer stretch of water, for the
filters would miss the reassuring
sight Of the British isles after
their long trans-ocean journey.
After reaching the French coast,
the plane could either follow an
all-land route to Rome, or could
take a more direct route over the
upper Mediterranean.

downward is displaying the keenest
interest.
Immediately upon arising this
morning President Hindenherg made
inquiries as to whether Chamberlin
had actually started.
As soon as the president learned
or Chamberlin's departure he gave
instructions that all departments Of
the government do everything posi-
BILE to cooperate and aid the Ameri.
can filler.
There Is no denying that Germany
intends to make the arrival of Cham
berlin an occasion for a display of
its good will toward the United
states, ana thereby retrieve some of
the diplomatic effects that 1t might
have won IL Lindbergh had visited
Berlin.
Germany hopes to Guido every.
thing that Paris did for Lindbergh.
The American embassy is making
plans TO invite Chamberlin to be its
guest in Berlin.

As soon az definite news Of thu
progress of the fight is received the
ministry of marine plans to dispatch

boats into the North Sea to form 4

Weather Condition Are Good
During the morning hours Ger.
many was swept with contradictory
reports. For several hours the Off.
cial German News Agency insisted
that Chamberlin had started yester-
day, and when announcement was
flashed on electric bulletin boards
that he had postponed the flight
great groans went up.
The crowds hung on, however.
and when at noon the news was
again flashed that Chamberlin was
in the air there were great cheers.
The crowds anxiety was aroused
when reports were received that
Chamberlin might proceed over Ber-
lin and go on to Warsaw, or even
Moscow.

and he didn't even mention that
he intended to go. When asked
what was delaying the start he
said, 'Oh, they're waiting for the
other man.
HE slipped away and got in with
Chamberlin before anyone realized
what he was doing, or before we
even knew about it. It certainly
was a complete surprise to me-"
SeIf-made Millionaire
Pilots at the field said they be-
lieved Levine's decision to make
the perilous journey was due to
Lindbergh's demonstration that a
transatlantic flight could be accom-
plished without the assistance of
navigator.
Levine is a self-made millionaire
who made his money in the Junk
business. He is 80 years old. Early
in life he worked as a stable boy.
Later he began dealing in scrap
metal. During and after the war
he accumulated q fortune, which
Senator Lockwood estimated Is not
less than 81 1000, 900.
Senator Lockwood pointed out
that Levine's craftsmanship had been
questioned and he may have taken
this opportunity to show that such
lntimations were all wrong.
Levine said to me yesterday"
Lockwood said, 4 have so much
confidence in the Columbia and
Chamberlin that I said: Clarence,
wouldn't want you to risk your
own life where wouldn't risk
mine didn't think from that,
however, that he intended to CO."
Mrs. Levine said her husband sis
brave enough to go, and am brave
enough to stay at home and take
care Of the children"
The Levines have Two children,
Eloise. years old, and Ardith, 9
months old. The Levines live in
Belle Harbor, Queens.

The Columbia may have a wider
cruising range than the Spirit Of

Captain Lindhergh's fuel supply
was fairly well exhausted when he
made his historic landing at LIE
Bourget. His average fuel con-
sumption was approximately be-
tween eight and ten miles to the
gallon.
The Bellanca, in long test flights
with a heavy load, has averaged
10 miles to the gallon.
The Columbia's total load at take
off, including the plane itself, was
approximately $3.50 pounds.

Wolves and Wild Bears

AS consequence of the bitter
cold and the heavy snowfalls many
wolves and wild boars have descend
ed from the mountains and made
their appearance on the Carso and
in other parts of the Julian Venetia
in Italy.
One night wolves besieged the
station of 'Prestane- Mattegna, near
Trieste, where the employees barri-
caded the building and defended
themselves. The wolves disappeared
only at dawn. At San Pietro del
Carso, two big wild boars were
killed. One of them weighed over
500 pounds. A sounder of wild
boars appeared in the province of
Savona along the Riviera. Two
were killed. In Umbria wolves are
reported to be ravaging the coun-
tryside. A reward of-400 lire lover
$15) for each wolf shot is being Of
fered by various municipalities.

Famous Mountains

The name "Pillars of Hercules" was
given by the ancient Greeks and Ro-
mans to Calpe and Abyla, two noun
tains, standing, the one in Europe and
the other in Africa, on opposite sides
of the strait connecting the Mediter-
ranean sea and the Atlantic ocean.
They are known respectively at the
present day as the Rock Of Gibraltar
and Jebei Zatout.
According to tradition, these noun
tains were raised by Hercules, while
on his journey in search Of the oxen of
Geryones. They were long regarded by
the ancients as marking the extreme
western limit Of the habitable world

Wild Animals Kill Many

In British India alone last year
it is reported 1906 persons were
killed by wild animals and 10000
died from snake bites. Tigers &C.
counted for 1893 deaths, wolves for
S35, leopards for 464 and crocodiles
took the lives of 213. The wild pigs
killed more than 100; bears and ele-
plants about 70. During the year
about $4,000 wild animals were
killed, so that the ratio of human
to wild animal deaths in the jungle
is only about one to six.
