Wireless to the United ES aa — Lieutenant Eric Nelson and his mechanic, Lientenant John ~ Harding, Jr., flying on alone after losing track of théir companions of the American world flight expedition in fogs over the ‘North Atlantic, reached Horna- ‘fjord; Iceland, safely at 4 o'clock p. sm.., Greenwich meantime today.

They will rest at Rekyjavik and then \jump 500 miles to Angmagsalik, Greenland, flying across tit island to Ivigtut, to Indian Har- bor, Labrador, 672 miles. The flight has been held up in the gray inlet of the Orkneys near the famous Scapa Flow for two days by foggy weather. Prepara- - tions for the start were made at daybreak, the planes tuned up and the airmen breakfasted. At 8 a. radio messages came in from torpedo boat edestroyers, Billingley and Reid, which had been stationed along the Jonely route to Iceland, reporting clear and favorable weather. Lieutenant Smith decid- ed. to take off at once but delays held up’ the takeoff until 9:30 o'clock. Smith's plane was heavy laden with benzine and ofl and refused to take to the air. He circled and re- ciccled the bay behind his impa- tient companions and finally after an hour he got off after trailing in the wakes of the two companion planes. There was a great cheer from watching blue jackets on the Richmond as the three big planes stretching out to sea with the speed of migrating geese, disappeared into the gray of the North Atlantic sky. The Richmond immediately started hauling in her anchor to fol low them. Then at 10:15 o'clock just as the lean gray cruiser was streal- ing, across the bar, Smith and Wade Game roaring back from the sea and circled over the little town of Kirkwall, which | nestles in a hol- Jownof the barren slopes that rise back of the Scapa Flow. ‘The shore radio station, flashed sword to the cruiser that the airmen were returning and had lost Nel- son in the fog. The Richmond made a hurried scotting trip along the airmen’s trail, saw no trace of the missing flyet and decided he had continued toward Iceland. So the commander ordéred the ship back to Houton Bay to care for the airmen who had returned. - Smith and Wade already had taxied up to their anchor when the , (Continued on Page Two) WORLD'S CHAMP COWGIRL TO BE OUNDU fable Strickland, world's cham- all-around cowgirl ,the popular of Frontier Days at Cheyenne, 2 party of the world’s best talent iid West thrillers, left Monte Colo,, today, enroute for Cas- fo. be-on hand for the big Cas- ls roundup, which will be held Rodeo grounds on West Yel- | ABOR FED LONE FLIER WINGS 3 ROUTE TO ICELAND ‘ he Casper Sund MAIN NEWS SECTION RATIO CASPER, WYO., SUNDAY, AUGUST 3, 1924.

A plenary session of the invited Germany to send’ delegates to the conference as soon as possible and {twas expected Chanceller Marx and Foreign Minister Streisemann, representing the reichstag govern- ment, will arrive in London not later than Tuesday. The German govern- ment already has announced its wil- lingness to abide by. the, Dawes pro- gram and it appeared that the con- ference has fairly clear sailing next week. The invitation to the German gov- ernment was recelved in the foreign ministery ‘in Berlin at 9 o'clock to- night and prepartions made for the departure of the German representa- tives as soon as possible. Complete agreement of the ques tions between France and the other allies and the United States, which bave kept the conference deadlock three weeks, came at the plenary ses- sion today after strenuous work by a group of the delegates led by Cok onel James Logan of .the United States. The Allies conceded a num- ber of points, while France also made, concessions. ‘The Allies: accepted the modified French formula on guarantees for Investors in the proposed $200,000, 000 loan to Germany and penalties to be inflicted on Germany in event of defaults on her promises. France on the other hand agreed to the modified allied proposals for evacuation of the Ruhr and details of this program are now being work- ed out by special committees. Prime Minister MacDonald presided at to day's plenary meeting and expressed his delight at the success of the work.
