UNREST IN BALKAN
STATES INCREASES
Fear of War Grows as PoIit.
icaI Elements Stir
Up Discomfort.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1927.
LONDON, August Clouds are
gathering again in the Balkans. Dis
quieting news reached London during
the week end from Greece and Ru.
mania. Although in both countries
only internal troubles are looming, the
danger is that the famous Balkan pow
der barrel might explode even when
the nations of that part Of Europe are
fighting civil wars.
Reports from Greece indicate that
the politicians, tired of six revolution
less months, have started agitating in
favor of the return Of Gen. Pangalos,
the former dictator. On the other
hand, the Royalists have started agi-
tating in favor of the return of King
George. The Royalists are endeavor-
ing to win to their side important
army and political chiefs, pointing out
that Greece cannot settle down as long
as ambitious politicians are fighting
each other for office and that the only
hope for stabilization is the reinstate-
ment of the monarchy.
GOVernment on UuafO.
The government is reported to have
taken drastic measures to crush these
movements, but the government is
never popular in Greece for more than
a few weeks and there is every possi-
bility that either the Royalist or the
Pangalos movement will break out
within the next few weeks.
The situation in Rumania is much
more serious since a revolutionary
outbreak may cause international
complications due to the fact that
Russia is waiting for a chance to re-
occupy Bessarabia.
Prince Carols proclamation from
Paris to "My People" opens the possi-
bility Of civil war. Carol, who has
many followers in the Rumanian
army and is reported backed by the
Transylvanians are the Nationalists,
headed by Prof. Yorga, the erstwhile
tutor Of the exiled prince, has thrown
down the gauntlet to the regency and
Premier Bratiano, accusing the latter
Of using tricks in order to obtain
Carols remuneration of the throne.
Furthermore, Carol adds that King
Ferdinands letter urging his son to
respect the regency and never to re-
turn to Rumania was forced upon the
weakened hlilS NY tliC AiioSSCi Aui -
mier at q time when the late monarch
was so i'll that he had no will OF his
own.
Intrigues Revealed.
Carol is revealing these intrigues
now to the Rumanian people after
careful consultation with special
agents from Rumania, who are visit.
ing him in Paris. They are reported
to have assured him that the Ru-
manians are not reconciled with the
idea of a long regency during wh1ch
Premier Bratiano and his followers
would be virtual dictators, and are
only awaiting the signal from Paris
to acclaim the former Crown Prince
as King.
There is no doubt that Premier
Bratiano will use all the powerful re-
sources at his command to prevent
the return of Prince Carol, but the
princes friends are convinced that 1t
| will be sufficient for him to reach the
Rumanian frontier in order to put an
end to the reign of the regency and
Bratiano.

NANK|NG REPORTED
GOAL OF Z ARMIES
Chang Kai-Shek's Enemies
at Shanghai Doubt
Pengpu Captured.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1927.

NcHs' OopJEiBhts AVA.
SHANGHAI, August 1.-While the
Nanking Nationalist government is
claiming the recapture of Hsuchow-
Flu, 200 miles north of Pukow, word
reaches here that the Northern troops
have taken Pengpu, 100 miles south
Of Hsuchow, or halfway between
Hsuchow and Pukow. Chang Kai.
Shek's enemies here are inclined to
believe that the Marking claim is
untrue and to believe that Pengpu
has been recaptured.
They assert that speed contest Is
now progressing, no longer for Peking.
but for Marking, seat of Chang kai
Shek's government, with the Northern
armies approaching along the Tien.
tsin.Pukow Railway and the Hankow
(extreme or radical Nationalist) forces
pushing overland through Anhwei
Province.
Local Communists are rejoicing at
Chang Kai Shek's difficulties, predict
ing that the next step will be the
moving Of the Hankow government to
Nanking, which city was named by
Sun Vat Sen, father of the Chinese
revolutionary movement, as the
capital of new China. Such a removal,
however, is necessarily contingent
upon "elimination'' Of Chang Kai
Shek, whom the Communists accuse
of betraying Communist principles
after attaining power; they charge
that he was a Communist in Canton,
but a Conservative at Marking.
Local Communists say the Hsuchow-
Flu conference weeks ago between
Chang Kai Shek and christian
Gen" Feng Yu-Hsiang was a failure
because the Chang Kai Shek coterie
was unable to convert the Christian
general. Hence they say that Feng
Yu-Hsiang is really cooperating with
Hankow and is regarded by Com
munists as their chief.

TETERBORO, n. j., August l.
Clarence Chamberlin ended his flight

NEW CHAPTER IN FLYING.
Chamberlin's Exploit Appeared Easy
to OnIOOkers.

L. S. s. DESTROYER LAWRENCE,
August ! R).-A new chapter in the
history Of aviation was begun today
when Clarence d. Chamberlin hopped
on from the Leviathan in his Fokker
biplane and headed for Teterboro
Heights. N. J.
The hop.off, a beautiful one. was
made at 8:14. The little Fokker sped
down the improvised runway on the
boat deck of the flagship Of the United
states Line, gripped the air at once,
and within second or so was doing
a circle over the big liner.
After circling the Leviathan, Cham.
berlin did stunts above the white.
capped waves and visited each of the
ships OF his convoy, the destroyers
Guard destroyer 25.
The 1850" under the wings of the
Fokker could be seen distinctly as it
passed over the Lawrence. The Levi.
athan headed into a stiff southwest
erly breeze just before Chamberlin
took off. A liner headed for New
York was fortunate enough to be just
off the Leviathans starboard beam
when the hop-off was made.
Flyer Given Send.off.
There was a fog ahead of the Levi.
athan, but Chamberlin headed into ap.
parently good weather. 1t was esti-
mated that the Leviathan was 81 miles
off the Battery at New York when the
hop-off was made. The passengers
could be seen waving from the decks,
and a buzz of excitement could be
noted on the ships of the convoy as
the little Fokker sped down the run
way and took the air. The hop.off
was made from a runway made of
planks set forward of the liners for.
ward funnel.
Ascension was made by use of
blocks, which held the plane in posi-
ton as the motor attained a speed
that would insure a take-off. Cham
berlin manipulated his plane so that
it leaped the blocks and the flight was
on. The purpose of the flight was to
test the feasibility of having planes
take off from liners at sea, thus cut.
ting off many hours from the ships
voyage time. Passengers and mail
could thus be taken ashore much in
advance of the arrival of the ship.
Chamberlin's hop-off was the first
ever made from a liner at sea and
marks a new era in aviation.
In November, 1925, Sir Alan Cob.
ham, British aviator, attempted to
beat the Homeric into New York by
having his seaplane lowered to the
water at Quarantine and taking off
from there, but his seaplane did not
rise and he was towed to the Battery
more than 10 hours after the Homeric
had docked.
The weather, which had been very
bad half an hour before the hop.off
today, was good. There was good visi-
bility, and the rain had stopped.

without any agreement having been
reached.

The Ambassadors return to wash
