REPORTED FLYING AT
 100 MILES AN HOUR
If Reach Goal at 6 O'Clock Tonight Will Have Made
 Flight in 37 Hours

NEW YORK CITY, N. Y., Sept. 2.-Two French fliers are along the cloud path of Canada's coast toward the coastline of the New England States.
 The fIiers are DieudOnne COstes and Maurice BellOnte.
 They were winging their way over the last 1000 miles of the flight from Paris to New York City at 9:3O am. today, Eastern Standard TiMe when their plane the Question Mark scared over CansO, Nova Scotia, on the Canadian main- land, achieving the first flight from the continent of Europe to the continent of North Am erica.
 One hour later the two fliers passed over Halifax harbor, more than 100 miles nearer New York City and heading true toward their goal where they are expected to land before sundown. In reversing the trail of Col. Charles A, Lindbergh, Coste and Bellonte deviated but slightly or1ly turning to pass over small insular French possession south of New lfoundland, the Isle of St. Pierre. That was at o'clock this morn- ing.
 Subsequent progress indicated they will arrive at Curtiss Field, New York City, about 6 o'clock to- night
 New York City is preparing to give the two Frenchmen the well come that would have been accord ed other fliers if they had been successful in making the Europe New York City hop. If the Frenchmen reach New York City about o'clock tonight they will have made the Paris-New York hop in approximately 37 hours.

Mrs. Ada Van Wort, 72 years old, was injured, probably fatally, from burns received this morning at her home on Fourth and Harris street. Her clothing is believed to have ignited from an electric hot plate and the flames enveloped her al most instantaneous.y.
 She ran screaming to the sdeor of the cottage, seeking to attrAct the attention of neighbors. She fell in the doorway where she lay when the Fire Department truck reached the scene.
 Husband Unable to Rescue
 Her husband, E. VanWort, who has been confined to his bed for sometime with sickness, was unable to rescue her. He was in an adjoin- ing room when he heard her screams. He threw two basins of water on her flaming dress but that did not check the blaze.
 Mrs. Joe Patterson and others in the Bergman Boarding House, heard the woman's cries, but so in distinctly that they thought they were from children at play, ant for some little time paid no heed to them. Mrs. Patterson went to the doorway of the boarding house af- ter a few minutes and saw Mrs. Van Wort lying in the door from which smoke was emerging.
 Chances are Negligible
 The Fire Department reached the place about the same time. Mrs. VanWort was put on soft blan- ket and, with six men holding it, taken in a truck to the hospital, where she received immediate at tention. Early this afternoon she had not regained consciousness, and it was said there that her chance for recovery was negligible.
 Mrs. Van Wort is believed to have been operating a sewing ma chine when the accident occurred. A small hot plate, which she ap- parently was using for heating, was at one side of the machine and. close to where she had been sit- ting. It is probable, said Chief j.. L. Gray of the Fire Department, that her dress caught from the heated plate and flared over her in an instant. She sprang from her chair and rushed toward the door to seek aid, falling in the doorway. Her clothing was entirely burned away and the skin and flesh almost cooked. The house was not damaged by the flames.
 The Van Worts are pioneers or Juneau, and have resided at times in interior communities.

ONCE VISITED ALASKA

From start to finish of his army career, Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen took on constantly ascending re- responsibilities, eliminating with one of the most delicate tasks ever un- dertaken by an American army of- ficer-command of the Army of Occupation in Germany after the armistice.
 He had been fitted for the final major task of his life by contacts with men and conditions in many parts of the globe Born at Sharps- burg, Kentucky, April 13, 1859, he went from preparatory school to West Point as a cadet. Soon after his graduation from the Military Academy in 1882 he made an ex- cursion to Alaska as an explorer.
 Then in rapid succession, his army assignments carried him to Russia, Germany, Cuba, and the Philippines, and into Mexico with Pershing's punitive expedition. He went to France as division com mander, and later was a corps chieftain in the A. E. F. Distin- guished service there during the world war won for him the coveted honor of heading the American Forces on the Rhine.
 General Aliens ascendency in the military firmament cerminated only when he had given a noted per- formance of more than A years continuous service. He was retired at GA, after which he lived quietly in Washington, devoting a part of his time to writing of his full years of military adventure.
