WALES SAILING TO

Glasgow. Sept. 6 R-The Prince
of Wales and his handsome younger
brother. the Duke of Gloucester.

hunt big game in Africa and also
to spread imperial good will.

Of King George have been busy
packing for the trip while the news

Sailing from Marseilles the prince
and his brother will go to Alexan-

there by motor to Ismailiya on the
Suex canal. Here the British India
steamer Nadia will embark them
for Mombassa. and there they will
entrain for the interior of Kenya.

Cancel Atlantic Attempt
When Motor Stops Hop
in Azores.
By United Press

By United Press
PARIS, July 25.-The ambitious
French program for a westward
crossing of the Atlantic, backed by
the Ministry of the Marine, has
been cancelled, at least for the mo-
ment, by disaster and mechanical
difficulties.
Several months ago France an
nounced two seaplanes, bi-planes Of
new construction, would make a
crossing between Brest and the
United States with the Azores as
the first stop. Commandant Rene
Guilbaud was chosen as pilot of
one of the SeaplaneS and Lieut..
Paulin Louis Jerome Paris was
chosen as the pilot of the second.
Guilbaud Lost
Then came the Italia disaster in
the Arctic. Nations rushed aid to
the Italians of that expedition.
France contributed two war vessels
and sent Commandment Rene Gull
baud north. Guilbaud flew away
from Tromsoe, Norway, June 10,
with Roald Anundsen and four
aids. Since then Guilbaud and his
party have not been heard from.
Sunday Lieutenant Paris and two
aids started on the trans Atlantic
flight. Their venture even was
greater than that planned by the
ministry at first. They would make
the flight to the United States in
relays to the Azores, Bermuda and
thence the United States and then
make nonstop return f1ight-giv-
ing France credit for the first round
trip flight across the Atlantic.
Cancel Flight
The white seaplane La Fregate
left Brest Sunday evening and a
little more than fourteen hours later
put down in the port of Horta. 1t
developed that the forward motor
of the twin-motored craft had gone
dead 200 kilometers off Horta and
the flight had been completed with
one motor.
Paris hoped to make repairs on
his craft Immediately and proceed
to the United States. There was
possibility, he advised the min
.istry, that he might have to await
new engine from France, then
as it became apparent his craft
could not be repaired the ministry
of the marine Cancelled the flight
and ordered the La Fregate re-
turned to Brest for repairs.
