Zeppelin Encounters Fog.
A heavy fog featured the first full

York City and turned to the ocean.
Lack of winds during much of yes

to So miles an hour but faster time
at intervals raised the average to IL,
and by late last night Captain Ernst
Lehman looked for the rising tall
wind to speed the ship east.
DR.. Hugo Eckener. president of the
Zepplin company, was in jovial mood
after the demonstrations of good will
he found in the United States upon
the Hindenburg's record first flight to
America of 81 hours 38 minutes.
He beamed with pleasure when in

reception awaited him upon his return
to Frankfort.
Passengers were impressed visibly by
DR.. Eckener's popularity in America.
Impression of Passengers.
The general feeling among those who
watched the distribution of authority
during the first North American cruise
had been that the venerable admiral
OF the air" was being shelved by the
NaI government because he declined
to become identified with some Nazi
activities.
While the doctor was up early and
late, giving expert advice and draw
ing upon his vast fund of practicl ex-
perience to guide younger pilots in the
control cabin, it was apparent that the
man who by government request was
really in authority was Capt. Leh-
mann. He seemed to be giving the
decisive orders.
DR.. Eckener himself, a fighter BY
nature, believed, nevertheless, he would
be ON the next trip to Lakehurst q
week hence.
Much depended on the kind of re-
port Nazi authorities aboard would
give concerning the reception in Amer
lea. There was no doubt they were
impressed by the tremendous ovation
given DIR. Eckener wherever he ap-
peared.
Some passengers on the return trip
believed the doctor would be reinstated
with full honors after his recent diff
ferences with the Nazi propaganda
ministry which caused DR.. Joseph
Goebbels to direct an order to the
press to this effect:

Controlled Press Says People Will
Defend Empire.

Defend Empire.
BY the Associated Press.
ROME, May l3.-Premier Musso-
lini'S Popolo DItalia defied challengers
of the new Roman Empire with a
warning that the Italian people
created it with their blood. they will
cultivate it with their labor and de-
fend it against any one with their
arms
The editorial in II Duce's newspaper
coincided with the return from Geneva
Of Baron Pompeo Aloisi, who was re-
called yesterday as Italy laid before
the League of Nations implicitly the
choice OF accepting the Fascist empire
or losing Italian membership.
Informed sources read in the edi-
torial slightly veiled reference to
Great Britain In the words:
The Italian people ask themselves
why the occupation by some powers of
civilized and even independent coun-
tries should be considered legitimate
while Italy's occupation of territories
horribly depopulated by barbaric or
ganization and slave trade should be
illegitimate
Refers to Wilson.
The editorial asked, In the name
Of what Wilsonian paragraph does an
extremist crowd living in the shadow
of idle factories on subsidies from
far-off empires pretend to deny to
Italians not only subsidies of the work
of others. but the divine and human
right to work and live"
Premier Mussolinis summons to
Baron Pompeo Aloisi to come home
was interpreted in informed circles as
warning that Geneva must recognize
Italy's conquest of Ethiopia If its dele
gates are to appear again about the
Council table.
Since the League Council deferred
further consideration of the Italo-
Ethiopian issue until June Is. the
question of formal Italian withdrawal
was regarded authoritatively as held
in abeyance until Geneva made its
next move.

Of tobacco in France and her colonies
Manager Sachse expects the increas-
ed French purchases under the new
agreement TO be chiefly in the medium
and better grades rather than in the
lower grades.
The treaty comes at a time when
Maryland exports to France appeared
headed for new low mark
In 1929 the State sent 5000, 900
pounds to France. BY 1884 the total
had dropped to 10000 pounds, a de-
cline of 97.6 per cent. Only 14,780
pounds we're sold to France during the
first six months of 1885. official figures
show. Similar small shipments were
anticipated this year, prior to the sign
ing of the treaty.
Maryland Principal Gainer.
A majority of French tooacco pur-
chases in the United States always
have been made in Maryland. and.
similarly. the major part of the
Maryland exports have gone to
France.
Sachse said the Maryland crop Is
in demand by both domestic and
foreign manufacturers because Of its
blending and burning qualities. Some
tobaccos commonly used in cigarettes
do not burn and have to be mixed
with the Maryland leaf which pro-
duces blend pleasing to the taste.
Domestic dealers who have been
buying Maryland tobacco for that
purpose undoubtedly will pay higher
prices when they find France again
bidding for the States crop, Sachse
believes.
