When contact was accomplished, the
tanks of the City of Chicago, which
Their was in its 445th hour of con-
tinuous flight, contained only enough
fuel for five minutes more N the air

a means of reducing the annua. deficit
was made before the twenty-eighth an

the increase, he said, were:
First-class mail is carried at a profit;
the deficit is due to franked mail and
mail from other departments, and the
political administration of the Post

NEW YORK, June 28.-Former Kali

to have an international court-martial
determine whether he was responsible
for the outbreak of the World War In
1914, Poultney Bigelow, American his
torian, declared today on his return
from visit with the self-exiled ex-

For three days and nights, said Bige-

At the end of that time, Bigelow said,
he concluded that Russia primarily, and
England secondarily, were responsible
for the conflict.

"Such is the case if the Kaiser's docu-

of friendship I have never known him
to have done a crooked thing"
Bigelow went to Doom to mend a
friendship between the two which was
ruptured at the beginning of the World
War-a friendship begun when Bigelow
was IT and Wilhelm 13. Their amity
ceased when Bigelow blamed the Ger
man Emperor, in 1914, for starting the
war
