The Graf Zeppelin reported to the
Navy Department today that its po-
sition at II am. Eastern standard
time. was approximately $50 miles
east of New York City.
By the Associated Press.
Messages from the world-gir-
ding dirigible Graf Zeppelin her
self and from ships that sighted
her at sea indicated today that
the queen of the ocean skies was
roaring over the first part of he1
Atlantic flight at approximately
100 miles an hour.
Within a period of about two
hours, from $40 to 7:3O, East.
ern standard time. this morn
ing, the Graf reported her own
position and two steamers, the
Commercial Trader and the PreSi-
dent Roosevelt, reported sighting
her at given positions.
The three positions and their times
made possible the computation that
during these morning hours the Zep-
pelin was beyond Nantucket Shoals
and proceeding practically due east al
rate some Is miles an hour faster
than her maximum cruising speed
presumably due to strong tail winds
although none of the three messages
mentioned existing weather conditions
Prior to these reports her average
speed from Lakehurst, which she left
at 11:40, Eastern Stardard time, last
night, was only about 60 miles an hour.
although this slower speed was no
doubt largely due to the fact that con-
siderable time was spent circling over
New York.
A fourth message, from the steamer
Rochambeau, reporting sighting of the
Graf one minute before the President
Roosevelt saw her, set the position of
the dirigible at 7:34 E. S. T. this
morning at 420 miles east of Sandy
Hook.

Graf Estimated at $50 Miles East of
New York at ! O'Clock.

New York at ! O'Clock.
BY the Associated Press.
The Graf Zeppelin today notified the
Navy Department that her o'clock
position, Eastern standard time, was
latitude 40 degrees SO minutes north,
longitude IS degrees 43 minutes west
and that everything aboard the ship
was we'll.
simultaneously with the receipt of
the message direct from the dirigible
the Navy Department received a re-
layed message from the Zeppelin which
placed her position over Nantucket
Light at 4:3o am.
Since the Zeppelin left Lakehurst the
Navy Department has kept radio COM
paSS-bearing stations along the coast
directed on her, but these messages
were the first the department received
since the airship started her return
flight
Naval authorities calculated the Graf
Zeppelin had travelled 400 miles in a
northeastward direction from Lakehurst
between the time of her departure and
her o'clock position and that she had
averaged approximately SO miles an
hour. They estimated that she was
about $50 miles due east of New York
City.
The Weather Bureau announced that
the Graf Zeppelin would have fresh
west winds and partly overcast skies
until she reached the Grand Banks
region and that wind conditions should
be ideal for the remainder of the trip
to the British Isles.
A we'll developed area of high pres
sure, indicating calm or fair weather,
the bureau said, was central a short
distance north of the Azores and that
it extended from Southern Ireland to
Bermuda.
A disturbance was reported northeast
of Ireland, another over Hudson Bay
and third off the Southwest Coast of
Greenland. but the Graf Zeppelin was
expected to pass to the south of all
three.

French and Germans at Va.
rance on Evacuation in
Only One Point.

LONDON, August 8 (P).-The Ex-
change Telegraph Co. today said it
had learned on good authority Brit
ish delegates to the Hague Confer
ence had made it clear to France
and Germany that in the event of
their coming to an agreement be-
tween themselves on evacuation of
the Rhineland Great Britain would
accept such an agreement uncondi-
tionally.
By the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, August 8.-French and
German views on evacuation of the
Rhineland were stated fatty today to
each other by Premier BRAND of France
and Gustav Stresemann, German for
eign minister, in private conversation
at the Hotel des Indies.
While the French premier and Ger
man foreign minister were in accord
on the general principle of evacuation
of the occupied district, they were at
complete variance on the measure of
control which is to be substituted for
military forces.
M. BRAND raised no objections to
DR.. Stresemann's contention that the
evacuation should be concluded within
three months after adoption of the
Young plan. except such objections as
physical difficulties Of removing the
men might present.
Disagree on Commission.
He told DR.. Stresemann. however, he
could not acquiesce so readily in his re-
fusal to consider the setting up of a
commission on the left bank of the
Rhine to oversee armament activities.
The two statesmen exchanged views
as prelude to organization Of the COM
mittee on political matters which was
decided upon yesterday by the confer
ence of the governments meeting here
to devise application of the Young plan
They spoke freely with each other, real
izing that upon their discussion rested
in large measure final resolution OF
problems growing out of the World War
The German argument was the
Rhineland must be evacuated in any
case in five years under the treaty Of
Versailles and the treaty provides fol
no such commission or other organ to
watch over the Rhine territory, hence
