SPOKANE SUN GOD NEARS ST, PAUL ON PLIGHT WESTWARD Refuels at Roosevelt Field and Cleveland After Battle With Storms St. Paul, Aug. 19—(?)— The Spokane Sun God, en route to the Pacific coast from New York in its endurance and distance rec- ord-seeking flight, arrived over St. Paul airport for refueling at ~ 1:25 p.m. The plane, Nick Mamer, former St. Paul pilot, and Art Walker, made the flight from Madison, Wis., in two hours and 15 minutes.

T.) today after a run of 101 hours and 53 minutes from Friedrich- shafen. Five hundred Japanese bluejackets brought down the silver queen of the air on Kasumigaura field at 6:27 a. m. Forty minutes later they stowed her safely away until the start of her | flight of 5,420 miles across the Pa-/ cific ocean to Los Angeles, next stage | of her flight around the world. ‘The Graf will probably start for the Pacific coast of America on Thurs- day. Set for Third Stage This flight over the waste stretches of the Pacific, never yet traversed by an airship, marks the third stage of the globe-circling Graf's journey. Together with the run across the American continent from Los Angeles to Lakehurst, the Zeppelin must still fly nearly 8,000 miles to her goal on the New Jersey airfield from which she set out on August 7. A round of entertainments and fes- tivities in the lavish tradition of Jap- anese hospitality began for the 20 passengers and the 40 officers and men of the ¢iraf as soon as the last rope had been coiled. While immense crowds of excited Japanese broke again and again through police and military cordons, Dr. Hugo Eckener and Admiral Tak- arabe, Japanese minister of the navy, exchanged formal felicitations. To Salute Emperor : Dr. Hugo Eckener probably will make another flight over Tokyo be- fore starting across the Pacific. The German embassy expected him to pass over the two-fold bridge which marks the entrance to the imperial pelace as a gesture of courtesy to the emperor. ‘The Graf Zeppelin probably will start on the third lap of its round- the-world tour Thursday, taking ap- proximately four days for the trip to Los Angeles. The trip completed to- day, while representing its longest traversed distance, did not represent the Graf's greatest flying time. Its first westward crossing of the Atlan- tic, completed on October 15, 1928, took 111 hours and 38 minutes to travel approximately 6,300 miles. Appearing over Tokyo and Yoko- hama the Graf hastened back to . (Continued on page nine) - CHINESE RUSH ARMY Tokyo, Aug.
