FLYING BOAT NEAR
GOAL IN SEA TEST
German Zephyr Is Speeding
to New York, With Half
of Flight Behind.
BJJLLETIN.

ABOARD THE S. S. EUROPA
AT SEA (By ship-shore telephone)
September 10 R.-The German
flying boat Zephyr. flying from the
Azores to New York, passed over
this liner at II am. Eastern stand
ard time, 800 miles out Of New York
harbor.
The plane was expected to reach
New York between 4 and 5 pm.
Eastern standard time. 1t was
cruising at speed OF about 129
miles per hour.
BY tnt Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 10-With
her two ol-burning engines roaring
q prophecy Of things to come, Ger
man flying boat neared America to-
day on a survey of the Southern flight
route across the North Atlantic.
At Z am, Eastern standard time.
she crossed the halfway mark on
the journey from the Azores, her
starting point 1,196 miles behind.
BY am. she had covered 140 miles
more.
The speed was increasing from the
slightly more than 30 miles an hour
maintained through the night, follow
ing the take-off at ITO pm. EAST
ern standard time). The fuel load
was tightening and a tail wind he'd
replaced the western breeze which had
hampered the lotion ship previously.
Carries Four Men.
The flying boat is the Zephyr, owned
and operated by Germany's interna-
tional airline, Lufthansa. She carries
four men-Flight Capt. ]. Blanken-
burg, Baron K. A. Won Gablens,
technical managing director Of Luf-
thansa, serving as second pilot; Me-
chanic A. Eyer and Radioman w.
Ehlberg.
There were no passengers and no
mail. Those are things to come over
the North Atlantic. Lufthansa has
been carrying mail on weekly sched-
ules over the South Atlantic more
than two years.
The flight is being made with the
assistance and cooperation of Pam
American Anyways, the United States
international airline. which also has
plans for establishing a transatlantic
air service.
Pan-American provided air harbor
facilities at Port Washington, Long
Island, the zephyr's goal, and main
tanned constant communication by
radio with both the flying boat and
her mother ship, the Schwabenland,
which tossed her into the air by cata-
putt last night.
Engines Use Crude Oil.
Not only was this the first fight
from the Azores to the United States.
It was the first time a plane powered
by engines using crude oil instead Of
gasoline has flown the North Atlantic.
It was attempted yesterday by the
zephyr's sister ship, the Aeolus, which
started for Bermuda but had to turn
back after 600 miles because of q leak
in its cooling system. The Aeolus is ex-
pected to start again tonight or to-
morrow.
Both flying boats can take of and
alight on the water, but they must be
catapulted into the air in order to
get away with sufficient load of fuel
to last for the 2,390-mile flight being
performed today.
Port Washington, although the ter
minus for this test, Is merely q tenta-
tive selection as the United States
terminal for . regular transatlantic
flying service. Charleston, 8. c., and
Baltimore, Md, are also understood
to be under consideration as western
terminals.

they have found, to leave the ReichSfuehrer
alone with his thoughts. You never know what
might flash through his mind, and, If his sensi-
bilities are touched by something somebody
abroad may have said about him or Naziism,
anything is possible. This is the reason the for
eign Office will contrive somehow or other to dis
patch Field Marshal Won Blomberg to keep
Hitler company each time he leaves Berlin for
rest.
The field marshal and der Fuehrer are
close friends now. One might even say that
Won Blomberg who genuinely idolizes Hitler,
is the only man who may call himself an
intimate of Germany's dictator. The COM
mander in chief of the forces of the Reich has
a becalming influence on his boss. 1t may be
that the former corporal feels that the field
marshal is genuine in his affections for him.

3y the Associated Press.
Secretary Hull announced today that
the four American war vessels now in
Spanish waters had been ordered with
drawn.
The ships, which were sent in late
July to aid the evacuation of American
nationals from the revolutionary zone
have been instructed to proceed to
nearby ports to await possible en-
ergency calls from Spain.
Secretary Hull reviewed repeated ard
insistent appeals made by the State
Department to Americans in Spain to
leave the country and noted that,
since the outbreak Of revolution, some
1000 nationals have been removed
from the danger zone with the aid of
both commercial and naval vessels.
Hull said that, since September /,
when the final warning to Americans
was issued, there had been no infor-
nation to indicate that any of the
approximately 500 still there desired
to leave, with the exception of few
in destitute circumstances and some
reported marooned in isolated cities.
Previously, the Secretary had said
that those Americans who had per-
sisted in remaining in Spain did SO
because Of business or family reasons.
In view Of those circumstances, he in
dictated, the American Government
could no longer consider itself re-
sponsible for their safety.
Instructions issued by the Navy De-
partment at the direction Of Secre-
tary HUI ordered the cruiser Quincy,
the destroyers Hatfield and Kane and
the Coast Guard cutter Cayuga to
proceed to neutral waters and not to
return to Spain except in answer to
requests by American diplomatic and
consular agents.
His statement did not indicate how
long the vessels would remain in near
by waters or to what specific ports
they have been assigned.

BACKGROUND
- The Spanish government teeler
for an armistice appears to haUe

at San Sebastian the rebel leaders
refused, and noD seem satisfied
that they can take the city at ipill
as the Nationalist Basques haze
seized control iDhen anarchist ele-
nents threatened to burn the city.
San Sebastian appears more quiet
today than at any time since the
bloody ciuh Unr started, July II.

toll throughout the country esti-
mated at $4,000. Both rebel and
