Sergeant York Shovs Mild Interest
In Historic Exploit Staged at Carnival
World War Hero Pres
ent at Reproduction of
Argonne Drive

seemed much more interested
in conversation with the on
lockers than in looking on
at the reproduction of his
heroic feat in smashing
through the Argonne and
capturing an extraordinary
number of the enemy.
This pageant was the fea-
ture of the opening per-
formance yesterday after
noon of the three-day mill
Bary exposition and carnival
aa the Army War College.
And at the beginning the
Rreat world war hero stood
Mt the rear Of the platform,
deserved for distinguished
guests, in mild discourse
with an officer Of the post.
Front Row
A little later someone went
np to him and took him to
seat in the front row, where the
Secretary of War and Mrs.
Good, the governor OF Virginia,
Harry Byrd, and other notables
were sitting nearby.
Sergeant York went along ami
ably-as it seems he must do
everything-so gentle is his
manner and so mild are his blue
eyes. A tall fellow, he is, with
broad shoulders and q finely
shaped head, topped with red
dish hair.
He was in civilian dress-a
dark blue serge suit and gray
hat. He took no part in the
carnival except as SHOW
piece" Willing officers pointed
him out to friends and acquain-
tances.
Virginia Day
Yesterday was Virginia Day.
So the Governor of that State
and his staff came over from
Richmond to "do their part" in
raising funds for the Army Re-
lief Society-the charity for which
the carnival is given.
This group flew over in an
Army transport plane. The Gov
ernor left later in the afternoon
in a two-seated plane for his
home near Winchester. Va, while
his aides returned by train to the
capital of the Old Dominion.
They were received at the
college with military honors-a
salute said with cannon and a
mounted escort. Mayor Bright,
of Richmond, was also a mem.
ber Of the Governors party.

They viewed the sham battle
from the ringside tent in which

LETTER
Bay State Girl Thinks
International Tribunal
: Is in Capital

In Dorchester. Mass. there is
someone who evidently thinks
that President Hoover has taken
the League of Nations under his
wing and has 1t tucked away at
the White House.
A few days ago there came a
letter from a young lady in the
Bay State town addressed to
Council of League Of Nations,
care White House, Washington, d.

red ink at the White House and,
in purple ink. was this suggestion

Others Present

Others in General SummeralIs
tent were Brig. Gen. Augusta
Villa, military attache of the
italian Embassy, who was in uni.
form; Justice James Clark Nc
Reynolds, Capt. Enrique Prieto,
naval attache of the Cuban
Embassy, and Nine. Prieto, with
the latter's debutante daughter,
Mile. Lucia Tessada GuZman.
Others noted here and there
were Brig. Gen. and Mrs. Francis
E. Pope, Brig Gen. and Mrs. E.
G.. Heckles, who came from De
troit for the show; Brig. Gen. and
Mrs. Herbert Owen Williams.
Mrs. Charles Howry, Mrs. Walter
Wells, Mrs. Charles Drake, Gen.
and Mrs. Charles Mccoy, Miss
Margaret Pilson and Mrs. Ernest
Walker.
After the battle and the thrilling
aerial circus, spectators broke up
into small groups to enjoy the car
nival features in charge of various
groups of Army women, or to take
tea or coffee at the colorful booths
lining the midway. Many people
remained to dine in a huge Army
cook tent, to dance later at the
Officers Club and to see the fight
in the Argonne repeated at night.
Absentees
1t appears now that the Presi.
dent and Mrs. Hoover will be un-
able to attend the carnival. They
had hoped to do so-and especially
did Mrs. Hoover plan to go even
II the President could not.
i However, the pressure of official
life now, with distinguished visi-
tors in town, is keeping everybody
at the White House much occu-
pied.

1t was the same storm that

taking off the evening of the
accident. Now we have caught
up with it,
Like Ghosts In Dark
The skies grew darker, loom-
ing ominously black on the
lowering horizon. Light clouds
scudded past and in the illu-
mination Of the airship took the
weird, fantastic forms Of ehouls
whirling forever in the empti-
ness Of purgatory.
Suddenly the storm furies
caught us in their rnaelstrom.
the airship quivered and shook,
and with dives wrenched itself
free from their murderous en-
braces. Arrogant In its strength,
the Zeppelin repulsed the sinis-
ter Pacific wind and lightning
gods, who were unable to wait
until we were farther In their
unexplored domain before trying
to claim the Graf-and us--for
their own.
The storm was short, if sharp.
There was great excitement at
the glimpse Of the first star,
glittering through obscurity.
The lightning continued atvary-
ing distances, the first lightning
the Zeppelin ever had been
called upon to face.
Lightning Ignored
The lightning, however, held
no anxiety for DR.. Eckener.
who was in the highest good
hunnor at dinner. His table
guests were Won Wiegand, DIR.

man, and myself.
The dinner was excellent, but
best of all, DIR. .Eckener en-
loved as connoisseur, a glass
of sherry from Walter Spiel,
the famous gourmet restau-
rateur, of Munich, Germany. He
also presented Won Wiegand and
myself with a choice basket Of
liqueurs.

thoughts were turned to beckon-
ing California. Between us and
the Golden State lies the great
Pacific, never yet conquered by
aircraft in nonstop flight. Nor

Pacific-I am to be the first.

The Zeppelin seems so much
like "home" to me that / find
it difficult to realize we are
on an epoch-making, pioneer
adventure. 1t seems so natural
to be in the little cabin and

served by Steward Kubis. and

Extra Day Helpful
Whatever regret there was on
the part Of the passengers over
the delay we experienced, due
to the accident in our. first at

overcome the fact that there
was an Extra day given us to
collect a few things which we
had forgotten, and to see a few
more sights.
But last night around 9 o'clock,
as we approached the hangar
for our last vigil awaiting ia
vorable weather to- get away.
we were again concerned about
our chances. Two small local
storms with lightning, north and
south of the hangar made
things in the distance seem ex-
tremely unfavorable.
The wind in the immediate
vicinity was rather strong for
q safe start, although we
figured that once we got started
and had two good hours of
flying we ought to find our
selves in better conditions.

repairs were made to the dam

Optimism Prevails
There is the most remarkable
sort Of optimism among all the
people on board. Everyone is
certain that the little accident
in the japanese hangar is the
only mishap we will encounter
on our flight.
DIR. Eckener is figuring our
start by Greenwich time in-.
stead Of Japanese, and he
wanted to bring the start. into
Thursday night instead of Fri
day because many Of the crew
are superstitious about starting
on Friday. Now they are in
sisting that it would have been
better If we had started earlier,
for it was so warm when we
finally got away that it had
a considerable effect on the lift:
ing power Of the Graf.
But as we gradually got away
from land and water, rising to
500, then 600 and then 700
meters, the cheers. from the
ground faded in our ears. By
the time we were out of sight
of the airfield we were more
than $500 feet up, heading due
east.
