Afterwards he will place a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The New York reception committee and the city’s eight millions meanwhile are biding their time, confident that although Washington. isto haven the Hier first, they will still be able to make a more elaborate display of welcome. Rumanian Cabinet To Be Temporary BUCHAREST, Sunday.—The political crisis in Rumania has been settled for the time being with the formation of a temporary
for the time being with the formation of a temporary Government to function until the result of elections in thirty days shall indicate the will of the country. King Ferdinand authorized M. Barbu Stirbei to form an interim Cabinet. The new Ministry assumed its responsibilities today, with M. Stirbei as Premier and Foreign Minister. He also holds the posts of Minister of the Interior and Minister of Finance. Other heads of Departments are M. Argetanu, M. Popescu, M. Lupu, M. Lapedatu, M. Dumitru and General Anghelescu as Minister of War. The new Cabinet represents all political parties except that led
The new Cabinet represents all political parties except that led by General Averesco, who resigned his Premiership at the request of King Ferdinand. The present Government is described as representing the National Concentration administration which the King and his advisers considered it best to form. It is hoped that with the dissolution of Parliament and new elections a period of political stability will result. For the present, the danger of a military coup d’état has apparently passed. EGYPTIAN NOTE FAILS TO SATISFY BRITAIN CAIRO, Sunday.—Lord Lloyd, the British High Commissioner in Europe, has called upon King Fuad, and it is
in Europe, has called upon King Fuad, and it is understood that the King was informed that the Egyptian reply to the British Note is not considered by its recipients to be satisfactory. This report confirms the expectation that the Egyptian Government, instead of replying directly to points in the British Note, would seize the opportunity to be evasive, while reviewing all the Egyptian grievances. The principal matter upon which Britain desired an answer was whether or not Sarwat Pacha still intends to honor the terms of the Egyptian Declaration of Independence, which was made in 1922. Egyptian extremist opinion,

Complaint is made over certain remarks on the part of Lord Lloyd, which the Wafis construe as insistence that King George V is still the ruler of Egypt.

Paris-Siberia Plane Sighted Over Germany The latest reports from the two French fliers, Lieutenant Coste and Captain Rignot, who are attempting to break the long-distance flight record established by Captain Lindbergh, come from Swinemünde, Germany over which town they passed at one forty yesterday afternoon. This was about twenty minutes to schedule. Since the territory they should be crossing at this time is largely uninhabited and reports unlikely, no fears are expressed
is largely uninhabited and reports unlikely, no fears are expressed in Paris for their safety. Swinemünde is 565 miles from Le Bourget, a distance which the pilots traveled in five hours and one-half. The two French fliers last year broke the world’s long distance record by a flight from Paris to Meshed in Persia, a distance of 5,800 kilometers. They hope to reach Irkutsk, Siberia before their fuel runs out. Irkutsk is 7,200 kilometers, approximately 4,440 miles away, a thousand kilometers further than Lindbergh traveled in his flight from New York to Paris. Weather conditions were ideal for the attempt
York to Paris. Weather conditions were ideal for the attempt when the men started yesterday morning. The slight headwind which they faced did not hinder them and they bore north from the field accompanied by Captain Lemaître in another plane. Captain Lemaître returned to the field after flying with them as far as Soissons and reported them well on their way East. They were traveling then at about 120 miles an hour. The first word of the plane’s progress after leaving Soissons was from Cologne, over which city it passed at 11:15 a.m., only slightly behind schedule. The Soviet Government
at 11:15 a.m., only slightly behind schedule. The Soviet Government has made arrangements to aid the fliers in any way possible. Irkutsk is on the shore of Lake Baikal and special arrangements have been made for the landing of the plane there. Soviet Army men in the Ural mountains have been instructed to keep a lookout for the plane and to report its passage if sighted. Lieutenant Coste considered it a bit of good luck for the trip that Captain Lindbergh was on the field at Le Bourget at the time of their departure. The American flier was turning up

FOKKER PLANE LEAVES ON NUNGESSER SEARCH NEW YORK, Sunday.—The Fokker monoplane Jeanne d’Arc, which will make a thorough search of Newfoundland for the lost French fliers, Nungesser and Coli, left New York yesterday aboard a ship bound for Halifax. Captain F. Sydney Cotton will pilot the plane in a search which apparently grows more hopeless with each passing day. Yesterday a report was received from a Canadian seaplane

Attainment of the goal set for the fund being raised by Americans in Paris for the families of Nungesser and Coli is now in sight. Yesterday Mr. Rodman Wanamaker pledged 50,000 fr., and Mr. Philip G. Gossler, President of the Columbia Gas and Electric Company, gave $1,360. Mr. Douglas Fairbanks has contributed 5,000 fr. De Pinedo to Leave Today. LONDON, Sunday.—Despatches from Punta Delgada, in the Azores Islands, say
LONDON, Sunday.—Despatches from Punta Delgada, in the Azores Islands, say that a supply of special gasoline has reached there from Italy, consigned to Colonel de Pinedo. He was forced to come down at sea and to put in to the Azores several days ago, while attempting a non-stop flight to the islands from Newfoundland. His intention is said to be to leave Punta Delgada for Italy some time today. MINERS’ OFFER IN SPAIN MADRID, Sunday.—The Nacion publishes an article by General Primo de Rivera, in which it is stated that at a meeting of the Council of National Economy the

Departure from Land at Newfoundland Is Last Direct News of Columbia—Plane May Reach Irish Coast Late This Afternoon—Europe Prepared for Arrival of Monoplane. LONDON, Sunday.—Although a careful lookout is being maintained on the Irish Coast for signs of the Columbia, nothing concerning it had been reported at 3.30 o’clock this afternoon, so far as London could discover. English cities hope that if the plane goes to Berlin it will
hope that if the plane goes to Berlin it will pass directly over England, possibly coming in sight of London. If the plane is not heard from tonight, searching planes and vessels are to be sent out from Ireland. Good weather prevails over the Atlantic and favorable winds are aiding the attempt of Clarence D. Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine to cross the ocean and reach some city in Europe. When their Bellanca monoplane, the Columbia, left America South of St. John’s, Newfoundland, shortly after 7 o’clock last night, New York time (12 o’clock, Paris time) it was an hour
York time (12 o’clock, Paris time) it was an hour and one-half earlier than Lindbergh’s plane at the same point. Flying further South, the Bellanca machine will have a greater distance to cover than the Spirit of St. Louis had. As it is slower, the Columbia probably will not reach the Irish Coast before 4.30 o’clock this afternoon, Paris time. Its course beyond that point will not be known until it is sighted over Europe. Berlin, Rome, Vienna, Constantinople, and Moscow are all possible landing places, and all are ready to receive the plane. If the flight continues for fifty
to receive the plane. If the flight continues for fifty hours, it will not end until after 1 o’clock tomorrow afternoon, Paris time. With the French biplane being flown Eastward from Paris by Lieutenant Coste and Captain Rignot, the Columbia is engaging in a race for the long-distance non-stop record. If the planes can stay long enough in the air, a distance from New York far into Siberia, more than one-third of the way around the world will have been covered by two planes in simultaneous flight. It is estimated that the Coste-Rignot machine can stay in the air only
that the Coste-Rignot machine can stay in the air only forty-four hours, six hours less than the Bellanca. At 12.10 o’clock this morning, Paris time, the Columbia was reported ninety miles East of Cape Race, Newfoundland. Other stages in the flight are as follows, all hours being in Paris time: left New York, 11.05; New Bedford, Massachusetts, 1; Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1.25; Providence, Rhode Island, 2; Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, 5.6; Halifax, 7.10; Shag Harbor Light House, Nova Scotia, 7.55; Trepassey, Newfoundland, 9.50. It is unlikely that the plane would be sighted by ships after leaving the Newfoundland coast. Levine Can Be
by ships after leaving the Newfoundland coast. Levine Can Be Helpful. While weather was favorable at Halifax, South and Southwest winds were blowing off Newfoundland. Although Levine is not an expert flyer, he has had some experience in the air, and will be able to relieve Chamberlin over the unobstructed Atlantic, if the weather is not bad. In case of a forced descent, the Columbia is expected to float. It is furnished with a saw, intended to be used to loosen the motor so that it can be thrown overboard to increase the plane’s ability to float. A portable life
to increase the plane’s ability to float. A portable life raft is carried, which can be moved to a rubber lifeboat if it is necessary to abandon the plane. Chamberlin also has life preservers, and a revolver and smoke flares for signaling ships, which pass in the regular trans-Atlantic lanes not far South of the plane’s course. The lifeboat is equipped with small oars. Gasoline can be drained from the tanks in a few minutes. The food supplies include flasks of chicken soup and of coffee, a bar of malted milk tablets, twelve oranges, and ten chicken sandwiches. The surprise
milk tablets, twelve oranges, and ten chicken sandwiches. The surprise decision of Levine, who is the owner of the plane, to go along on the flight has turned popular sentiment in America towards him, after it had been alienated through arguments over details of the flight. He left two letters with Ex-Senator Lodge, his attorney. One, addressed to Mrs. Levine, declared that the flight would be the realization of an ambition he has held all his life. In the other, addressed to Samuel Hartman, he said, “I’ve enough confidence in this plane to take the same chance as any other
this plane to take the same chance as any other man, and if it’s agreeable to Chamberlin, I’ll go along.” The crowd had been cool as the preparations for the take-off proceeded; it remembered that the man had been scheduled to start many times and had always failed to do so. For a moment it believed that the flight was again checked, as the plane rolled back to the starting point after the first try at a take-off. Then it went forward again, this time rising perfectly and heading East. It was then that Mrs. Levine realized that her husband
It was then that Mrs. Levine realized that her husband was making the trip, and she fainted. The body of the Columbia is painted silver-gray and the wings are brown. The plane weighed 4,650 pounds at the take-off and it carried 450 gallons of gasoline. Full preparations for receiving the plane have been made at Berlin, Rome, and even Paris, although there is no indication that it will land here. Men will be kept on duty all night at each airport and signal lights will be sent up frequently. Excitement is particularly strong in Berlin, where officials have even begun
is particularly strong in Berlin, where officials have even begun to arrange entertainments for the fliers. Like Lindbergh in Paris, they will be the guests of the American Ambassador, whether they land at Berlin or Rome. The latter city is particularly anxious to see the plane because its designer, Bellanca, is Italian by birth. Athens, Sunday.—The spreading of Communist propaganda has reached such proportions in Greece that the Government has determined to deal with the menace with a strong hand. Two Communist Deputies have been arrested and two Russian agents expelled. The arrest of the Deputies has aroused the ire

A committee of workingmen has been formed in Athens and an ultimatum has been sent to the Governor demanding that the Lena Club, a Communist centre, be permitted to reopen, that damages be paid, and that the police officers who closed the establishment be punished. The demands have been ignored. The Government is described as determined to prevent meetings of all Communist organizations. In Macedonia, workingmen have rejected the advances of the Reds.

Rabat, Sunday.—French military movements Southeast of Settat, in the territory inhabited by the Béni Mestari tribe, are being pursued without actual fighting taking place. Advances have been made almost without loss of life to several commanding positions on mountain summits. The task that remains consists in clearing the valleys to the North of the dissident groups of natives still capable of stirring trouble. Liaison will then be established with tribes that have already declared their loyalty to the French,

René Lacoste and William Tilden each won a set this afternoon in the final match for the French Lawn Tennis Championship at Saint-Cloud. Lacoste took the first set at 6-4, but Tilden evened matters by winning the second, 6-3. Lacoste played better this afternoon against the tall American than he has ever played before in France, in the opinion of experts. His work at the net was superb. Tilden was worried each time he saw his opponent advance in that direction. Tilden won his

Lacoste then ran out four straight games to give him the set, 6-4. In the second set Tilden again started out by winning his serve. He outdrove Lacoste in the second game, but lost the next three—two of them by love scores. Tilden then ran out the second set by winning the last four games straight. It appeared that he had been holding back. The Women’s final
appeared that he had been holding back. The Women’s final between Mlle. Kae Bouman, of Holland, and Mrs. Peacock, of South Africa, resulted in victory for the Dutch girl, in straight sets. Her game was a marvel of steadiness, while her older opponent displayed much uncertainty. Mlle. Bouman won the first three games. Mrs. Peacock won the fourth, lost the next, and won, the sixth. With the score at 4-2 in her favor Mlle. Bouman then ran out the next two games, to give her the set at 6-2. Mrs. Peacock displayed more power in the second set. Mlle. Bouman
Peacock displayed more power in the second set. Mlle. Bouman won her own service in the opening game and the games went with service until the score stood at 3-all. Mrs. Peacock then broke through the Dutch girl’s play to take the lead. The Paris Times Established every afternoon by THE EUROPEAN PUBLISHING CO. Société Anonyme: Capital 1,000,000 fr. Constantin F.

Even if Chamberlin and Levine succeed in reaching Berlin, Rome or some point still more distant from New York, as the world is hoping that they will succeed in doing, inevitably their achievement will fail to stir such universal hero worship as has been aroused by Lindbergh. Historian emotions do not duplicate themselves so quickly. Lindbergh’s youth, his sudden appearance from relative obscurity, the fact that he flew alone, all contribute to the strength of the impression he made. The very fact
the strength of the impression he made. The very fact that the second flight attempt is being made by men who know, as they must know, that their reward can not be as great as it would have been three weeks ago, should add to the admiration felt for them. The fact that the Atlantic has been crossed once does not make the feat any the less difficult for the Columbia, which was built before Lindbergh’s flight began. It does not. In order to make the endurance required of the fighter any less, nor does it diminish the danger from
fighter any less, nor does it diminish the danger from hail, wind or fog. It does not decrease the possibility of sudden motor trouble. If the plane designed by Bellanca reaches a European city, the current will strengthen the belief that regular flying across the Atlantic is not beyond hope. Numerous successful flights are already convincing many prices. A larger engine, more powerful than a plane which carries only one man, although the glory of the fliers themselves must be shared. Then there is the possibility that Chamberlin and Levine will far surpass the distance record, even if a new
will far surpass the distance record, even if a new one be made by Coste and Rignot. The Columbia has more gasoline. Other circumstances being equal, it should be able to stay in the air longer than the French plane. The men now attempting a second conquest of the Atlantic deserve all credit for their courage. By his decision to enter the plane himself, Levine, the owner, has disarmed criticism which had been growing since difficulties over the protection of the passenger's family and the division of money became known. He has shown that his interest in the flight is
He has shown that his interest in the flight is not exclusively commercial. Chamberlin's own courage and ability never were doubted. Certainly a wild welcome awaits them in either Berlin or Rome, which were not visited by Lindbergh. To any city not yet connected with an Atlantic flight, the one which ends there will have a particular interest not possible to that which ended elsewhere. If events should so develop that the Columbia lands in Paris, the aviators on board will be received with an enthusiasm second only to that which greeted Lindbergh. From all the world they will deserve
which greeted Lindbergh. From all the world they will deserve and will receive honor. Only the supreme emotionalism connected with the first flight will be missing. If they are lost, and that danger is not to be forgotten, their remains will be remembered with those of Nungesser and Coli. A SURVIVAL. Polin is no more. Old-timers in Paris will recall him with a sigh, but to the generation grown up since the World War the name may mean little. Polin was a singer of army songs. He represented an epoch in French life, just as did the late Aristide Bruant.
in French life, just as did the late Aristide Bruant. When either appeared upon the boards of a theater in their later years, discerning spectators saw more than an age-ravaged Thespian. They saw the insouciant, light-headed garrison soldier of before the war, or the Montmartre chansonnier of the days when the Butte Sacrée knew more literature and art and fewer autobuses. Polin belonged to what may be called “the red-trouser period,” of one army but he lived beyond his day. A France that knew devastation, that still fears aggression, that must watch its frontiers closely, long ago discarded red trousers
must watch its frontiers closely, long ago discarded red trousers for the more efficient khaki and horizon blue. But Polin would not abandon his beloved scarlet culottes. They were the trousers of his past glory, though to audiences at music halls they seemed an anachronism. His last few appearances were rather pathetic. The older members of the audience applauded for the younger days they knew, and youth was polite. Bravely he sang the songs of forty years ago, but his unvoiced appeal to the audience seemed to be: I am Polin. You used to like me and my garrison songs.
Polin. You used to like me and my garrison songs. Why not now? Times have changed, it seems. Ah, well, if you do not like me, I will take it like a soldier.
