Craft Will Leave for u. S
on June | with Five
Persons Aboard.

BIZ NEA Service
DERLIN, May 21-Although air
ID planes have Spanned the At
lantic ocean a number of times dur
ing the past two years, the first
strictly commercial airplane crossing
is now scheduled to begin on June
/. when the big German Rohrbach
flying boat "Rostra," takes off from
Lisbon, Portugal. for New York,
carrying a cargo on which freight
charges will be So an ounce.
Final tests have been completed
and everything is in readiness.
If this flight results as expected,
it will inaugurate a regular COM
mercial transatlantic service, with
lower freight charges, which will
bring Europe and the United States
within three days Of each other.
Hermann Steindorf, former World
war ace, who will pilot the RoStra,
has not yet decided which of two
routes he will follow. Steindorf was
a bomber in the German army.
Choice of Two Routes
One route would take him from
Lisbon to the Cape Verde ISLANDS,
thence to the tiny island OF Fer
nando Pc, off the Brazilian coast,
and northward from there to New
York with a stop in the West Indies.
The other, 1000 miles shorter, but
calling for longer jumps over water,
would go from Lisbon to the Cape
Verde islands and thence to Bar
bados and then to New York. 1t is
considered likely that this route
will be adopted.
No effort is to be made 10 set any
records for speed or duration. The
object of the flight is to prove the
commercial feasibility of trans
Atlantic airplane service; and.
naturally. the first thought is for
safety of plane and crew.
Girl Will Make Trip
Rostra is strictly sea plane.
It's hull is built like the hull OF a
regular boat. 1t is divided by num-
erour water tight bulkheads, and
if forced down should De aOle 70
keep the sea for days, even Ii
rough weather.
Five people will make the trip.
Steindorf will have Hans Niemann
as his navigator and is preparing
to select a mechanic and an as
si6tant pilot. And there will be one
woman aboard.
Mildred johnson, an American
girl, will make the fight as cuSto-
dian of the cargo. A special office
is being fitted up for her in the
freight compartment. She will occu-
DIV this room, spending her spare
time en- route writing the story OF
the voyage.
Two thousand pounds of cargo
will be carried on the first trip. al
though on subsequent trips it is
planned to use the ships full carry
ing capacity of 5000 pounds.

Fifteen Sticks Set OFF Near
Cabins of Textile
Workers.
SOLDIERS HUNT HILLS
Union Official Says Trouble

By Z. w. LEWIS
United Press STAFF Correspondent


ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. May I'll
Angered mountaineers, who turned
three years ago from plows TO bob
bins for their living, again warned
loyal workers of the Bemberg-
GlantzStoff plants today, setting off
fifteen sticks Of dynamite on lonely
hillSideS and taking pot shots at
the home Of a strike breaker.
AS a result of the Shootings and
dYnamiting, National GuardSmen
under Adjutant- General w. c..
Boyd of Tennessee began an ex-
tenSive hunt for those responsible.
Several families of strike breakers
spent the night huddled in terror
and had no sleep. The dynamitings
did but slight damage and that only
ito trees on lonely hill sides above the
cabins of the loyal workers.
Used by Moonshiners
Revenue officers explaining use Of
dynamite in the present strike said
it was commonly used in the noun
tain sections near Elizabethton by
noonShiners.
'MoOnShiners use it like children
Use toys one revenue officer said.
They toss sticks of it into brush
to brighten off intruderS and keep
stores of it on hand to prevent in
vasiOn of their mountain hOlloWs."
The shooting early today took
place near the house of Ernest
Hammer, a loyal worker. He said
his house was fired on twice.
Bullet holes were found in a near
b. fence.
The outbreaks came after a
twenty four-hour period of COM
parative quiet, during which the
5000 strikers for the most part re-
NAMED at home because Of a heavy
rain.
Union Is Confident
William F. Kelley. vice-president
Of the United Textile Workers of
America, predicted today ultimate
victory for the strikers and said
they would remain out six months
if necessary to win. Kelley adj
nitted that immediate plans of or
gained labor to unionize the 30O.-
900 textile workers Of the south
hinged on the outcome of the strike
here.
"All We are seeking is recognition
by the Benberg- Glanzstof NAH
agement Of the fact that union
membership is no cause for dis
elimination. If the plants will take
back our men and agree not to dis
criminate the strike is settled" he
said.
Officials Of the plants decline to
discuss Kelley's statement
Dr.. Arthur Mothwurf, president OF
Bemberg- Glanzstoff. was in Wash
ington today, but on his arrival here
Wednesday an important statement
on the strike was promised. Moth

Bloody Fighting Breaks Out
on 20-MiIe Front in
Mimic Warfare.
PLANES ACTUALLY FLY
But Rest of 100000 Reds
and Blues Will March
Only on Maps.
BY HARRY W. SHARPE
United Press staff Correspondent

RED ARMY HEADQUARTERS,
COLUMBUS, o., May 21-Sanguine
fighting broke out along a twenty
mile front today as 10000 mythical
troops began maneuyering for the
possession of ColumbuS. the capital
of hypothetical nation.
The conflict marked the first
ground phase of the army air
ground maneuvers and was mimic
warfare to ell except 5000 officers
and men who must solve wartime
problems incident to the battle.
The front extended along Big
Darby creek. on the west bank Of
which we're entrencEcd $4,000 Blues,
the aggresSors, augmented by mach
inc gun and hand grenade battalions
and supported from the rear by light
and heavy artillery.
Reds on Defensive
The Red army was distributed at
strategic points, but was relying
largely upon its air feet to blast
holes in the Blue line and halt the
big push"
But reading overhead, in opposi-
ton to the Red planes, was the pow
erful Blue air fleet from Fairfield
air port, ninety miles behind the
Blue lines.
Blue headquarters issued the or
Ger which started the attack and
as fighting began reinforcements
moved up from secret bases at
fredericksburg and London.
Reconnoitering expeditions few
over the enemy lines. sounding out
entertainments, supply and amn1u-
milton depots detrainment points and
aerodromes and otherwise preparing
for the movement Of the hostile
armies.
Scoring on Maps
The Red army is under command
of Colonel william H Waldron,
while the Blues are directed by
Major General Dennis E. Nolan,
commandant of the Fifth corps area.
With the exception of the tri-
umphs scored by the air fleets the
army victories will be imaginary
and will be scored on maps. Each
ground unit is represented by a
panel and the panels will be moved
about on the maps as the enemy
discover each others ground plans.
