OVATION ON
LANDING
by LESTER P. STONE

LAKEHURST. N. j., Aug. 20
U.N.S.l-The only woman passenger
on the history making round.the.
world flight of the Graf Zeppelin,
Lady Drummond Hay, was singled
out by the throngs Welcoming the
airship today.
A petite figure In a brown lea.
ther coat and black tricot turban.
she stepped from the air liner to
receive the most vociferous welcome
OF any OF the passengers.
II am happy. oh. so happy to
have made the flight were her
first words as she gracefully bowed
to the overwhelming tribute as she
reached the ground, But please
Oh, / did not know 1t would be
like this. I am so excited"
She was whirled to a car and i'm.
mediately driven to the Naval Wei.
fare station where she talked on
the radio. In one hand she car
ried a large brown handbag and in
the other a large black hat which
she did not have time to pack away.
Does Her Stuff
At the welfare station she DOTTED
her coat, revealing a blue serge
tailored suit with n pin stripe,
white gloves, a yellow blouse. and
low.heeled patent leather pumps.
"Oh, can't" she said when
asked to step before the micro
phone. This In 80 unexpected and
/ am entirely unprepared."
But she stepped forward before
the distinguished audience and in
simple straightforward fashion said:
harniook okFl In fha
world to have made this flight
around the world. 1t was the most
wonderful trip ] have ever made.
am glad to have been among those
to have made the flight. / know
you will excuse me IL I stop now,
as I am nervous and oyerwrought."
She went to the doorway, to find
herself confronted by a battery of
camera men. Then an operator of
a talking news reel camera asked
her to say a few words, but she
refused his persistent entreaties.
Everything was 50 wonderful and
peaceful that wanted to enjoy my
last night aboard the Zeppelin to
the fullest" she explained. LAS a
consequence, only slept about two
or three hours and am tired, and
nervous. Please excuse me from
talking"
Leeds Admired
She then boarded a private limou.
sine bound for New York City.
Another passenger who received a
wild greeting was William B. Leeds.
New York banker and husband of
Princess Xenia of Greece.
AS he stepped from the ship,
tremendous cry of welcome went up
with feminine voices dominating.
isn't he just too handsome"
came from a number Of girlish
voices in unison.
But Leeds did not stay for his
ovation. In a twinkling he disap.
peared in the throng and a minute
later jumped into a waiting car and
drove off.
His wife was not there to greet
him. She IL believed to be in Eu-
rope where he is expected to join her
soon.
Comdr. Charles e. Rosendahl,
United States naval observer aboard
the airship. the first to leave the
craft, foresaw in the flight q new
era in the history of aviation. He
said 1t was easily accomplished and
praised the smooth efficiency of the
Graf's crew.

Druse Sultan Bands
Warlike HOrdes For
March on Palestine

CAIRO. Aug. 20 Q.N.S.).-The dan.
ger to Jerusalem from advancing
MOslem hordes was increased VDday
with the report that Sultan Pasha
Ell Atrash, leader of the warlike
Druse tribes, fiercest warriors OF all
the Arab legion, was preparing to
! advance upon the Holy Land.
Reports prevalent in usually well.
informed circles said that El Atrash,
famed throughout Arabia forr his
courage, was massing thousands
OF followers for an advance upon
Jerusalem from Trans Jordania.
El Atrash justifies his reported
advance as being In defense OF the
Mosque of Omar in Jerusalem, most
sacred OF Arab shrines in the Holy
Land.

famous Wailing Wall, the Jewish
shrine where the first outbreak be

have already taken place between
Bedouins and British troops on the

An Italian warship has arrived at
Beirut, Syria. to protect the inter.

vessel will undoubtedly cooperate
with French troops in Syria in duel-
ling the rebellion which is threaten.
Ing.
Snipers Fire on Train
Fighting continued throughout
Palestine today. according to reports
reaching here, Shippers fired on a
train at Halfa, and the British au-
thorities retaliated with heavy fire,
burning down houses Of suspected
revolters.
There is an unconfirmed rumor
here that a British warship has
bombarbed Halfa and adjacent sub.
urbS in an effort to bring an end
to the recurring skirmishes between
Jews and Arabs, as well as con-
tinued looting and sniping.
The situation in Syria appears 10
be growing worse hourly, with the
Arab tribes in a state of seething
unrest. Christians and Moslems
joined in an enormous demonstra.
ton yesterday as a mark OF protest
against the bloodshed in Palestine.
All shops are closed, and business
is at standstill.
Additional details of the slaughter
OF Jews at Hebron were received
here today. They include terrible
stories OF savage butchery on the
part OF the Arabs. During the
fighting, which lasted two hours
and resulted in more than so Jew
ish deaths, number of children
were wantonly attacked and griev-
ously wounded. Arson and pillage
followed before the Arab hortles
were dispersed by hastily-dispatched
planes Of the British royal air force.
The Washington times., 1929-08-29

throughout Palestine today sinis-
ter reports were heard telling Of
preparations for a general uprising
of Moslems throughout Arabia.
The population of Jerusalem has
been reduced to a state of deepest
trepidation by recurring rumors Of
Arab concentrations at strategic
points throughout the territory,
and frantic appeals are being made
for additional forces of troops IN

Tribesmen in the outlying sections
Of Palestine are reported to have
been stirred by demonstrations by
Arabs in Syria, and there is a genu-

Dr.: Eckener, after the dirigible
was hangared, was interviewed in
the midst Of a swirling mob of
newspaper men.
He declared the airship would
take off for Friedrichshafen prob.
ably by Saturday under the com.
mand of Capt. Ernst Lehman.
Eckener said he would stay behind
for about two weeks and visit Pres
ident Hoover in Washington and go
to Akron, Ohio on business. 1t is
understood he will advise the Zep-
pelin Goodyear Company.
Il have not retired from active
dirigible duty and expect to com.
mand the Graf Zeppelin on import
ant trips" he said.
..,. Eckener: Pleased
whether the round-the.world
flight of the Graf Zeppelin was a
success shall leave to the public" !"
said Dr., Eckener. I'VE suffered
slight damage in Tokyo which was
repaired in eight hours and we had
narrow escape, perhaps, at Los
Angeles when we missed some high
voltage wires. But I believe I ain
truthful in saying that there were
no serious hazards during our en-.
tire trip.
''I am deeply moved by the cor.
diality of the reception given us
by the whole American nation and
we feel deeply grateful.
Our reception was particularly
impressive in San Francisco and
the great ovation we received in
Los AngAlea will nevar hat forgotf en-,
Also. as. we flew over Chicago
there was more enthusiasm than
Il have ever experienced before in
my life.
F'But most Of all. I am grateful
for the cordiality and cooperation
of the United States Government
and Navy Department.
II am very happy at the intense
interest shown. by the people OF
the United States in the lighter
than.air machine. Two years ago
the interest was not so strong and
now after this flight believe the
public interest will pave the way
for the lighter-than.air machine to
put itself on the map Of aviation. "
DIR. Eckener then went on the
radio and sent his greetings in
German to his native land.
Lady Hay in a brief radio speech
said the trip was wonderful" and
that she was very happy to be back
in America.

as it scared majestically overhead,
its five motors punding out a deep
throated roar.
But the Graf did not arrive totally
unWelcomed, for since an early hour
this morning. hundreds of patient
watchers had crowded roofs and
other vantage points to await the
dirigible's arrival. 1t was the busi-
ness district of the city--that hospit-
able lower Broadway which has &C.
corded such glorious welcomes to so
many homecoming heros, which was
forced to allow the Zeppelin to pass
by almost unnoticed.
New to Some
To some of the Is passengers
aboard the dirigible, the arrival over
New York was return home after
the fastest jaunt around the globe
that man has ever achieved. To
others it was merely another chapter
in a life Of travel and adventure, and
to others still it must have been one
of the greatest thrills ever enjoyed.
For a number of the passengers
had never seen New York City be-
fore, and the metropolis, with its
world.famous cloud scraping sky.
line, must have presented an in
spring sight to the voyagers in
the comfortable cabin of the great
craft.
The Zeppelin hovered over the
city only a few minutes. Circling
almost directly above City Hall, it
made a bee-line down Broadway
for the Statue of Liberty, which
she had passed on the outward
journey shortly after midnight just
20 days ago.
After circllng the statue, she
headed for Lakehurst. N. j., where
the passengers will disembark

Sword Slipping Out
Of Hands of Actor
Injuries Debntante


CHICAGO. November 5.-An
actors sword. jostled from his
hand as he fell, was revealed to-
day as the weapon which caused
the serious injury of Miss Jean
Stevens. a debutante of last sea-
son. The point Of the sword
penetrated just above the heart.
Neither the management of the
Goodman Theater. where the ac-
cident occurred. nor Miss Stevens
would reveal the name of the
actor. 1t was explained that the
accident was unavoidable. and
that the actor involved feels so
bad about it that it would hard
ly be fair to have his name men
toned"
Miss Stevens was watching a
rehearsal from the front row. At
the close of a Shakespearean
sketch the actor Jumped from the
stage. He slipped and fell into
the orchestra pit, the sword hur-
ting against Miss Stevens. The
point had been blunted for stage
use. and this probably saved the
young woman's life.
