Campaign of Terror
Immediately preceding the in

LupeScu's many enemies IN
Bucharest were said to have
launched upon a campaign OF ter
rorization with the avowed object
of enforcing her speedy depar-
ture from Bucharest. Whether
their attempt was successful was
problematical.
Some reports said the alleged
suicide attempt took place 10
days ago and that Nine. Lupescu
left soon after her recovery for
Paris. Others stated she was still
in Bucharest, residing in a villa
furnished by King Carol, while
semi-official sources persisted in
their declaration Nine. Lupescu
had not been in Rumania since
Carols seizure of the throne.
Threatened Death
In an effort to intimidate
Mime. Lupescu, the reports de.
cIared, her enemies spread wild
rumOrs of a contemplated mill
tary plot against the regime of
King Carol. To excite fear in the
heart of the red-haired charmer,
the rumOr.mOngers were said to
have informed Nine. Lupescu
that the plotters planned a fate
for King Carol and her similar
to that which befeIl King Alex

in 1908.
Married Mistress
The story of Alexander and
Draga wins one of the most tragic
in history. Spiking the efforts
of politicians to find him wife
from some rpigning dynasty, King
Alexander suddenly announced
his decision in 1901 to marry his
mistress. Draga Masin, the widow
of a Czech engineer and a
woman much older than himself.
The decision was keenly re-
sented in the country and isolated
the Serbian dynasty from the
rest of Europe. Serbia was
thrown into political turmoil and
agitators embarked upon a series
Of plots which continued until a
band of radicals broke into the
royal palace, crept up on Alex
ander and his queen while they
were sleeping, and murdered
them in their beds.

Pair Surprised to Find Spain
in Reich Area; Hop Again

KREFELD, Germany, June IS
GN.S0.-For the thirteenth time
in history, the North Atlantic was
spanned in a nonstop flight to-
day when Otto Hillig, wealthy
American photographer, and
Holger Hoiriis, Danish-born pilot,
landed here from Harbor Grace,
Newfoundland, and took off a
short while later to continue their
flight to Copenhagen.
Losing their way over France
and Spain, Hillig and Hoiriis flew
until their gasoline supply was al"
most exhausted, coming down at
Krefeld at $50 p. m. Q1.30 a. m.
Washington time), 80 hours 6
minutes after taking off from
Harbor Grace.
At GAS p. m. (12:45 p. m. Wash
ington time), the fliers started off
again, determined to reach Copen.
hagen, about 500 miles, in the
quickest possible time.
Rest and RefueI
They remained at Krefeld only
long enough for a short rest"
meal, and load Of fuel for
their plane.
Hillig revealed to International
News Service that he and Hoiriia
had lost their bearings COM
pletely. He said:
at was hours ago when we
came in from the sea. We kept
on until our fuel was nearly
gone, and then found we had to
come down without reaching
Copenhagen in single hop as
we had planned to do.
Think Germany Spain
eve thought we were over
Spain when we decided to land.
We were very much surprised
when we swOOped low over Kre-
field and saw that we were in
German CITY,"
The news of the safe landing
came as a relief to America and
Europe alike. AS the fliers ap-
preached the limit of their gaso-
line supply, grave fears were felt
for their safety.
Word was Immediately flashed
to Copenhagen of the fliers' safe
arrival. A crowd of 10000 people
had waited at the Kastrup Air
port there through the day. Most
of them we're departing as the
afternoon waned, abandoning
hope that the flight had been q
success.
Fly High Over Europe
The flierS' plane, ChriStened
Liberty, carried no radio. The
fact that the fliers were not
sighted after crossing the coast
of Europe was attributed to their
altitude.
The flight took almost twice as
long as that of Wiley Post and
Harold F.. Gatty, who started from
Harbor Grace IA hours earlier and
who are now at Moscow on q
round-the-world journey. Post and
Gatty arrived at Sealand Aero
drome, Chester, England, in a lit
tie over Is hours after leaving
