After the patrol- Lng vessels had been informed that the fiyers had made a forced landing, the Richmond and the Billingsley con- verged on the position indicated by the message sent by Lieut. Smith, and the destroyer, making 31 knots, had ample time to reach the damaged plane before the late darkness in these latitudes. The Billingsley, in fact, reached the Boston immediately after Wade and Ogden’s machine was found by the Grimsby trawler.

Wade, on board the Rich- mond, was chagrined over the fate that had brought his plane to grief and stopped the participation of him- gelf and Sergt. Ogden in the flight when it was so near a conclusion, but he took the disappointment well. Describing his experiences, Lieut. Wade said: “It was the had trouble with first time we had the oil pump and our second forced landing in the 19,000-mile fight. The first was on the Japanese coast when we came down for water. “On yesterday’s flight, when the trouble came, we signaled Lieut. Smith by waving that we were forced down; also that the engine was out of commission, requesting him to ad- vise the patrel. We expected to re- main in the water until the Richmond arrived. We saw a merchant vessel at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but could mot attract its attention. An hour later the trawler which rescued us was sighted.

C. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aviators of Wrecked Plane Game as Storm Dashes Hopes Lieut. Wade and Sergt. Ogden See Ma- chine Cut Adrift After Cruiser’s Heroic Effort to Save It. BY FREDERICK R. NEI Staff Correspondent of The Star. ON BOARD U. S§. S. RICHMOND, UNDER WAY TO REYKJAVIK, Ice- land, August 4 (via Wireless). Forced down with a dgad motor in the heart of the untamed North, Lieut. Leigh Wade and his mecha- nician, Serpt. Henry H. Ogden, virtu- ally counted themselves out of the world flight today—the faithful ship that carried them safely three-quar- ters of the way around the earth, having been abandoned in polar sea. Barely snatched from death in an Arctic hurricane that lashed the ocean with staggeting fury a brief hour or two after they had been res- cued, the two intrepid American aviators are hurrying to Revkjavik, on board the light cruiser Richmond, Lieut. Lowell H. Smith and Lieut. Eric Nelson, who have reached Hornafjord, Iceland, safely Take Accident Gamely. “It's all in a lifetime,” was the philosophic exclamation of Lieut. Wade a few minutes after his plane had been abandoned while officers of LITTLE HOPE WADE CAN FINISH FLIGHT Out of It Unless Wrecked Plane Is Repaired, Say Officials Here. Unless the wrecked airplane paired at Reykjavik, he is definitely out of the world flight, it was said today at the War Department. Spare parts are available at Roy- | kjavik and repairs can be made there unless the Boston completely smashed. Army officers were not op- timistic on this score, however, and held out little hope that the united squadron could fly home. One possibility still discussed was that a naval plane might be furnished to replace the wrecked craft May Not Send Substitute. it was indicated that consideration {of a plan to send a new craft to re- place the Boston would not be pur- | sued because it was found to be im- practicable. On arrival of the Richmond at Reykjavik, unless Lieut. Wade's ship is in better condition than reports have indicated, he will be instructed to continue to the United States on the cruiser Richmond, which took him aboard in midocean. Army Air Service officials received wireless reports from the Navy patrol force that the Richmond had wrecked Boston and it might be salvaged If not too badly smashed, facilities aboard the cruiser are available for repair work. The advices gave no details and did not make it clear whether they were forwarded before press - dis- patches telling of the abandonment of the craft One Airship Accessible. There 1s one airship in easy access capable of taking the place of the wrecked Boston. It is a Douglas machine now at Langley Field and is imilar to the one in which Maj Martin, first commander of the fight, flew to Alaska on the first part of | the expedition. Weather conditions, possible ways in which to expedite the delivery of a plane to the far North and other considerations first must pe taken into account. Delay to the other members of the squadron also must be borne in mind. Army and Navy officers expressed keen disappointment that Lieut. ‘Wade's machine had been put out of | commission with his goal of complet- ing the flight almost in sight. Rear Admiral Magruder, command- ing the cruiser squadron protecting the travel lane, has authority, Navy Department officials said today, to turn over to Lieut. Leigh Wade one of the special cruiser planes to re- place the Boston, if this plan is found feasible. Cruiser Plane's Powers. The cruiser plane, carried as regu- lar equipment by the Richmond class, is capable of six hours' continuous flight, at from 75 to 90 miles an hour, giving it ample radius, according to naval experts, to enable the Ameri- can fyer to complete the trip. The plane is a two-seater and is not es- sentially different in operation from that which carried Lieut. Wade 19.000 miles before his mishap. Lieut. Wade before the flight served as engineer officer at Bolling Field, D. C., and was one of the pilots chos- en to represent the Army in the bombing maneuvers which resulted in the sinking of the three old German warcraft off the Virginia Capes last Summer. He has flown all types of airplanes, American, British, French, Italian and German, acting in the ca- pacity as test pilot at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio. He has held the alti- tude record for the Martin bomber type for more than a year. Staff Sergt. Henry H. Ogden. his mechanic, is the son of E. B. Ogden of Woodville, Miss.

If our pontoons had sprung a leak sooner we would have gone down at 2 o'clock this afternoon.” A broken oil pump and the fickle climate of this treacherous land of ice and fog combined to rob Lieut. Wade and Sergt. Ogden of the fruits of victory just when they seemed so close, at the very hour they seemed straightened out down the home stretch. And their game, “never-say- die” spirit nearly cost them their lives, when they fought bitterly to take the air again in the face of the approaching storm. It was the heart-breaking end of one of the most heroic battles in .the history of the sea. The start from Houton Bay, near Kirkwall, was made under weather conditions un- usually favorable for the Orkney Islands and the promise of success seemed more assured than it had for weeks.

American Charge d’Affaires Schoen- field last night conferred with For- eign Minister Saenz. He said later that they discussed the details of the attack, but he was otherwise un- communicative. Representatives of the British consulate general have gone to Texmelucan to bring the body to Mexico City. Mrs. Evans' six-year fight to hold her hacichda, consisting of 1,080 Kectares (about 436 acres) and called San Pedro Coxtocan, has been fol- lowed with intense interest in diplo- matic circles and in both the British and American colonies. Mrs. Evans was formerly of Brownsville, Tex. The question figured in the pre- when the American delegates’ unoffi- cial efforts succeeded in bringing about a meeting between Mrs. Evans and President Obregon. Several months ago, when word reached the capital that the hacienda was sur- rounded by armed agrarians, volun- teers from the British colony visited Puebla to help protect the owner. She personally waged a fearless fight, several times driving invaders off her land at pistol point. She in- cisted on living in the ruined ranch house,_which had been burned, and, besides her employes, was protected by George Camp, a Texan, who aban- doned his contracting business here several months ago to go to the ha- cienda. His present whereabouts is unknown. Official admission that the Evans case had been taken over by the American embassy came several weeks after Charge Cummins' de- parture, when Ambassador Warren said Mrs. Evans had laid the entire question before him. The Mexican government's stand has always been that Mrs. Evans was making obsti- nate and unjustifiable resistarce to ity plans for the division of her es- tate under the governmental agra- rian program, with proper remunera- tion to her.

Other technical points involve pay- | ments in kind and the superseding of the Micum agreements. But most important are three or| four political points. The principal | one of these undoubtedly is the mili- | tary evacuation of the Ruhr. Here Germany expects to stand firm and | obtain a definite promise of evacua- | tion within a limited time if she| maintains her new obligations. The question of French control of certain Rhineland railways and the continued presence of French railway men must also be negotiated. The third point is the evacuation of the Rhine- land zonmes, as the Germans consider the French viewpoint that the time of the Rhineland occupation has not begun to run, is simply outrageous.

LONDON, August 4—The ultimate success of the interallied conference on reparation now depends upon the attitude of the Germans, Premier Herriot of France told the Associated Press today. “If the German delegates are wise,” sald M. Herriot, “we shall have a &00d peace, not only for Europe, but for the entire world. Everything now depends upon a proper under- standing by Germany of the part she is to play.

The French premier paid tribute to the helpful co-operation of Frank B. Kellogg, the American ambassa- dor, and the other American partici- pants in the consultations, James A. Logan and Owen D.

Senator La Follette declared in his telegram that with the aid of organ- ized labor, the farmers, business men and professional men “and all other men and women whose sole interest in government is that of good citizen- ship,” it would be possible to achieve the great object of the progressive movement, which “to break the combined power of selfish interests upon government.” Text of Telegram.

In taking this step after deliberate judgment, the American Federation of Labor has adhered to its traditional non- partisan policy. “The importance of the support by the American Federation of Labor for the progressive ticket cannot be overestimated. Your executive com- mittee in stating the American Ked- eration’s political purpose says: ‘Or- ganized labor owes allegiance to no political party or group.

I have in my public record attested my ac- cord with the aspirations of Ameri- can wage earners as represented by the American Federation of Labor. 1 welcome this indorsement.” “To break the combined power of sel- fish interests upon government is the paramount issue of this campaign, and with the support of organized labor, the farmers, business men, professional men and all other men and women whose sole interest in government is that of good citizenship I feel confident we shall win."” aris i JAPAN"GIVES LARGE WAR MATERIAL ORDER 140,000 Machine Guns and Spe- cial Type Motor Lorries Bought From English Firms.

BISHOPSBOURNE, England, August 3.—Joseph Conrad, considered by many the outstanding figure in modern Eng- lish letters, died at his home here to- day. He was 67 years old. Conrad's death was most Budden. He was apparently in normal health Saturday morning, but was taken ill about noon and died this morning at 8:30 o'clock. Friends, who were spending the week end at the author’s home, Bishops- bourne, said that the novelist had a cheerful breakfast Saturday, aithough he complained of having slept badly. After breakfast he wrote until 11 o'clock, and then took a motor ride with friends. During the drive he complained that he was not feeling well. When he returned home a doctor was summoned, but the physician ap- parently did not regard the author's condition as serious. In the evening Conrad was in much pain, suffering from asthma and breathing with difficulty. The doctor was hastily summoned again and ad- vised the administration of oxygen. The noveltist’s condition grew worse through the night. In the morning, Wwhen resting in a chair, he suddenly fell dead. His heart was unable to withstand the strain of the severe asthmatic attack.
