COSTE WILL TRY
OCEAN HOP WEST
Flyer Failed Once in
Feat Yet Not Accom-
pIiShed.

NEW YORK (P).-A pilot since he
was IT, Capt. Dieudonne Coste will dare
the dangers of the Atlantic in the most
difficult feat of his 19 years of flying
The French war ace plans to fly
westward from Paris to New York,
project that has cost many lives and
in which he himself failed last year.
Success will climax a flying career
that had its beginning when Louis
Bleriot made the first flight across the
English Channel in 1909 and fired the
ambition Of Coste, a 16-year-old engi-
neering student, to become an aviator
He won his pilots license year later,
but the war sent him into the conflict,
where he accounted for five enemy
ships and seven balloons.
An international hero, his fame rests
on exploits In the last four years, start
ing in 1926 when Capt. Rignot and he
set world distance record in a 1913
mile nonstop flight from Paris into
Persia.
Late the next year, with Joseph
Lebrix, he started an aerial odyssey
from Paris down the west coast of
Africa, across the South Atlantic to
South America and eventually through
North America, Asia and Europe. Ex-
cept for crossing the Pacific by ship
the round-the-world tour was made in
flight.
Last year, with Maurice Bellonte, he
attempted the Paris-New York flight,
but turned back west of the Azores and
landed after flying 300 miles Head
winds had forced them back.
Two world record performances fol-
lowed, a nonstop flight of 4948.59
miles to Manchuria and a closed cir
cult record of 1887 miles in 52h hours.
Spurred by the arrangements Of Capt.
Kingsford- Smith, Australian war ace,
to fly from Ireland to New York, Coste
has hurried test flights on his tri-mo-
tored ship to race the Australian across
the ocean.
There have been no successful
heavier than-air craft flights across the
North Atlantic from continent to con-
tinent In a westerly direction without
stop. The Bremen's fight began In
Ireland and ended at Greenley Island.

simultaneously with receipt OF re.
ports here from Alexandria that
the British warships had arrived
there for the safeguarding of for
eisn lives and property, Premier
Sidky Pasha of Egypt accused the
British Government of interfering
with internal affairs on the Nile.
Protesting the general tenor Of
the British note forwarded by Pre-
f1aier Macdonald that the Egyptian
Government would be held account
able for the protection of foreign
lives and interests, Sidky Pasha
asserted he had always demon
strated his Governments ability to
meet its obligations.
He labelled the dispatchinG of
warShips to Alexandria as an un.
necessary act. pointing out that
the sporadic outbreak had been
quickly quelled and ringleaders
arrested. Military forces at his dis,
posal. he concluded. are sufficient
to cope with any outbreak by Waf-
dist factions.
While calm was reported here
from Alexandria. where IA persons
were killed in political riots few

dist agents have been warning
European shops that forcible steps
would be taken against them if
they persisted in continuing in
