 Pleasant, Successful Flight
 "We have had a pleasant, suc- cessful flig t." said Capt. von Gronau. "Our course from Ham burg was by way of Iceland and Labrador, bleak and rugged coun- tries. We have been warmly well comed at every stopping place. Ottawa was especially cordial. We were accorded enthusiastic recep- tions at Detroit, Chicago, Milwau- kee and Minneapolis. At Detroit, we were breakfast guests of Henry Ford. The flight over the Canad- ian Rockies was wonderful.
 Only One Mishap
 "The only untoward incident of our trip happened near Detroit. The water line of our aft engine broke. We effected repairs with parts that we had aboard the ship. The mishap delayed us three days.
 We left Hamburg July 22 and expect to be back there, after having circled the globe, about October 15."
 Counting the present flight, Capt. von Gronau has made three At lantic plane crossings. On one of his previous Atlantic flights, he was accompanied by Fritz AL brecht, wireless operator, and Franz Hack, mechanic, who are with him on his present trip. The other m m CT of the Gronland-Wars crew is Ghert von Roth, pilot.
 Capt. von Gronau is manager of the German Commercial Flying School. The round-the-world flight is under joint auspices of the school and of the German Gov ernment.

FATHER JUDGE ON
 DEBTS OF NATIONS
Discussed Subject at Meet- ing of Catholic Women
 at Diocesan Bureau
IN HARTFORD SUNDAY

"This country will not be pros- porous until the war debts have either been paid or cancelled" de- clared Rev Matthew A. Judge, diocesan director of charities. in describing the causes which under lie the greater need for charity at this time during the open house meeting of the Hartford Council of Catholic Women in the Diocesan Bureau of School Service yester- day afternoon. Father Judge de- clared that the world Is staggering under a tremendous burden, with taxpayers of every nation forced to expend all of their surplus for taxes to pay the debts arising out of the World war.
 Trimmings are not going to be as they were before the war for a long time and perhaps never" said Father Judge in discussing the sit- uation. "Go through the list of na- tions of the world and consider what they owe to each other. These nations which are in debt have raised their tax rates and are try ing to pay the public debt--result- ing in turn in raise in the cost of living. It is possible that 0 com- plete readjustment of our economic life may be forced by conditions"
 Reciting the parable of the Good Samaritan and the admoni- tion of Jesus to Love thy neigh bor as myself" Father Judge de- clared that there never had been time in his knowledge when there was as much need to be a good neighbor as now.

 Mir Harris stated that there are millions in this country who fell for high powered salesmanship, not only the laboring classes but thousands of executives. He pre- dicted that it will take years for the people to straighten out things and pay the bills they now owe. He told of several instances of where he came in contact with men who were caught in the spending spree and are now in debt and in want.
 According to Mir Harris, the working man is now starting to think about things he paid no att tention to before. Many of the na- tional figures he idolized are mak- ing mistakes and are not so supe- rior after all.
