Parisians Amazed =
At News of Flight
OF Two SeaDIaneS

PARIS, July 13 Q.N.S).-This city
had the surprise of its life today
when it awoke to learn that one of
its foremost aviators, Lieut.. Dieu-
donne Costes, had departed from lie
Bourget flying field in the early
hours of the morning on transat-
lantic air race that promises to be
one Of the most sensational episodes
in the colorful annals of aviation.
Accompanied by Mechanic Maurice
Bellonte, Costes took off in his
Breguet monoplane Question Mark
40 minutes after the Polish airmen,
Majors Idzikowski aid Kubala, had
hoped off for New York in their
Amiot biplane Marshal Pilsudski.
While it had been known that
Costes and Bellonte were planning
long distance flight of some sort
their actual plans were complete
mystery ard news that they were
engaged in a transatlantic air race
took Paris completely by surprise.
Newspapers Miss Story
The morning newspapers had
gone to Paris hours before the two
flights started, so the radio and
news bulletin boards had to bear
the entire burden of disseminating
information that the flight had
startvd. Crowds of persons on the
way to work, amaZement written
clearly on their, faces, stopped in
front of bulletin boards to discuss
the news.
The two gallant attempts electri-
fled Paris, for in spite of the recent
success-ll crossing of the Atlantic
by Jean Assolant, Rene Lefevre and
Armeno Lotti, France had vowed
she would never be satisfied until
the ocean had been conquered from
east to west by Frenchmen.
Ever since the famous French
war aces, Nungesser and Coli. were
lost in an attempt to bridge the
ocean by air from Paris to New
York this nation has lived in the
hope that some Frenchmen would
be the first to per rm successful
estward crossing from starting
place to predetermined goal.
No Deterrent
Even though the French air
ministry placed a ban on participa-
tion of French army aviators in
transatlantic flight attempts, this
hope was not diminished and news
that Costes and Bellonte were &C.
tually under way thrilled the ma
ton even more than news oe the
successful eastward crossing Of the
Yellow Bird.
Lieutenant Costes, accredited one
of Frances first pilots, is 81 years
of age. He had 81 aerial combats
during his long war service and
was officially credited with bring
ing down 27 enemy planes. He is
holder of the Legion of Honor, the
MedailIe Militaire and the Croix de
Guerre with nine palms ana two
stars.
His last great aerial feat was a
flight across the South Atlantic
with Lieut. Joseph LIE Brix, con-
tinuing through the South Ameri.
can countries to New York, across.
to San Francisco, thence by boat
to Tokyo. The airmen flew from
the Japanese capital to Paris in
five days, and were acclaimed as
heroes on their return here.

remains of another village were
similarly laid bare on the Baltic
coast of East Prussia. On the
northern tip of Sylt, in that Sec

dating back to the Ninth or Tenth
centuries. Among the finds have
been pieces of pottery closely re-

potters between the years 800 and
1000. Other articles disclosed are
said to date back to the Fourteenth
century, thus indicating that the
settlement must have existed for
500 years or more before being COW
