America’s partners among the great powers—the four that are signatories to the Washington armament treaty are evenly divided on the question of a unified air force. FKrance and Japan adhers 1o the system In ex Istence in the United States, whereby the Army and Navy maintain sepa- rate aviation branches. Great Britaln and Italy have “unified” services in which all aviation activities are ad- ministered by a cabinet officer known either as the secretary or minister of air. Italy s air minister is Premier Mussolini, the Fascist dictator. As the Coolidge Air Board continues inquiry into aviation conditions, those prevailing abroad will presently be dealt with. The advocates of a united air force and the supporters of independent Army and Navy serv- ices are expected to draw heavily on such foreign experience as will bolster up their respective contentions. Experience of Britain. The anti-unificationists plan to counter effectively against _ the Mitchell party by showing that Great Britain, which now has a united service under an air minister, is doing her best to get nd of that system. Opposition to it is led by the navy. The latter's qxperience has proved that a united service falls to meet the requirements of the fleet in the air. Until April 1. 1918, the air services of | Great Britain were organized on lines similar to those in effect in this country.

By Cable 10 The Star and Chicago Daily News BERLIN, September 20.—The con tention reported to have heen voiced by Maj. John Kennedy at Washington that the great dirigible, Los Angeles, may meet the same fate as the Shen. andoah, because the German material of which the airship was constructed 1= too. delicate and even faulty, has has been aroused comment here in the national- | s full and very tight when I entered the | ist press. 1In today’s Berlin Kreuz Zeitung, Herr Eckener himself denies the charges. ““The charges.” he says, “aside from their audacity, are grotesque. During the construction and at the moment of the Los Angeles’ delivery the Americans had sufficient time to lodge complaints. They failed to do so. No one will now believe that the Ameri- cans then were not business men, as usnal.

(Continued from First gan taking steps for the descent which we knew must soon follow, so he di- rected me to go into the keel and pass the word to stand by the slip tanks. “After orders T started to return to the con- trol car. When I got to the ladder and started down 1 was surprised to see that the gas bags, which had been keel, were now flabby at the bottom, although I can give no estimate of their percentage of fullness. When T entered the control car I was told that the ship had reached the height of about 6,200 or 6.300; that the valves had been hald open for five minutes and that the ship was then falling very rapldly. It is my recollection that we con: tinued to descend to about 2,500 feet and the course had been changed to the south, but ware still making prac- tically no headway over the ground. During this descent the captain had ordered water ballast discharged and large quantities, both from emergency hags and the large service water bal last bags. were dropped. “During this time I gave careful study to the cloud formations and a1 tempted to form some plan for set- ting away from these conditions, and T found that in general the clouds ware similar to the formations which had developed before, except that the clouds showed now a considerable more thickness and irregularit Clouds Covered Sky. “During the descent for a short time we heard rain striking on the ship, a condition which we thought would be beneficial, a condition which would _{make the ship somewhat heavier and would probably cause a decrease in the vertical currents. The cloudy area covered the whole northern, | northwestern. northeastern and east- ern sky and the southern edge ap- peared to be only a few miles south of the Shenandoah in the locality of where we were and to the west of us. To the east of us the edge of the cloud was farther north or more on a direct line east of the ship for a dis- tance of probably 5 to 10 miles and from there turned south so as to cover | the southeastern sky with a uniform sheet. “Even at this time the appearance of the clouds was not nearly so threat- ening as they had been on many oc- casions of the Shenandoah’s success- ful maneuvering in their The most threatening portion of the sky was immediately to the north of the ship, where there was one area covered with a very thick cloud of somewhat of the appearance of a roll. “After the ship had been checked in its fall. it was then on an even keel without unusual vibration. remained at that altitude a short period, probably a minute or so. Dur- ing this period a general discussion was held as to the best means for getting away from the storm. It ap- peared 1o me that southeast was the proper course. However, several of the others, but whom I cannot recall, did not agree, and the ship was head- ed south, but we were unable to make any headwa Suddenly Nosed Over. “Then began another rapid ascent, and the elevators and engines were again ordered to correct this.
