German Flyers Will Overhaul PiaD
on Reaching Azores.


BERLIN. October S P).--The halt
Of the Junkers plane Dl230 at Amster-
dam after covering only about 1870
miles was explained today as being
part of the plans OF the aviators on
their projected ira nsatlantic flight.
The int ention OF the flyers, it was
stated, was not to he in too great a
hurry on the hop from Norderney to
Lisbon. but to be guided by weather
conditions and to make intermediate
landings wherever they seemed ad
visable so as not to submit their mo-
tors to a full strain.
Lisbon will be the real starting
point Of the fight and all arrange
ments have been made at the Azores
to give the machine thorough over
hauling before taking off on it's long
ocean hop to Newfoundland
The Dl230 is not registered as a,
competitor for the Toe, ,000- mark
(about S25 008y prize which has been
offered by the German Aero Club for
transoceanic flight. One Of the
conditions of this prize is that no
more than 81 hours may ella pse from
the departure from Germany to q
landing on the American continent.
Whether Lilly Dillenz. the Viennese
plane. will continue the flight beyond
Lisbon today seemed indefinite. al
though it was said that she hoped to
be the first woman to fly across the
ocean. 1t also was stated that she
had not joined the expedition for the
sake OF q sensation. but was enab
to do so by number OF Austrians
who desired that Austria should have
a representative in the venture as a
