F2 M’ 84 FLYING CRAFT TO ESCORT LY Aerial Demonstration Unpre- cedented in U. S. Ex- pected Saturday. As the task of preparing for the gigantic aerial escort for Col. Charles A. Lindbergh from a point out at sea %o the Washington Navy Yard rapidl approaches a definite form, indica- tions today were that at least 84 land and seaplanes, half on_the starboard and half on the port side of the Mem- phis, would roar a welcome from the skies unprecedented in the history of American aviation, as the cruiser ap- proaches the city. The rigid airship Los Angeles will lead the escort. Army and Navy air officials, who have been engaged for more than a weck in working out detafls for the greetings to Col TLindbergh from the skies, were nearing the end of their labors tod: ing up and reche r: needed to be disposed of, and given zood weather, and a high “ceiling” they held out’ the promise of a spec- tacle that not only would impress the general public, but Col Lindbergh himself. President Coolidge, in an executive order issued today, reserved the skies for this aerial armada, and promul- gated regulations prohibiting the fly- ing of any other planes in the air space above the District from 11 a.m. Saturday until 6 p.m. Sunda order read: “Under the provi section 4 of the air commerce act of 1926, the following regulations are promulgated to provide for the public safety in the District of Columbia upon’ the occasion of the visit of Col. Charles Lindbergh to the City of Washington, June 11-12. Air Area Reserved. “Between the hours of 11 a.m., June 11, and 6 p.m., June 12, the air space above that portion of the District of Columbia west of the Anacostia River and north of the Potomac River shall not be used for flying pur- poses, except for Government aircraft for which specific authority has been granted.” The first pursuit group at Selfridge Field, Mount Clemens, Mich., pride of the Army Air Corps, whose complement has been boosted from 18 to 24 high-speed single-seated pur- suit planes, may come over Washing- ton late this afternoon from Detroit to participate in the aerial welcome. Orders bringing the group here re- quested it to reach Bolling Field some time Thursday if possible, but if weather conditions or other delays tended to preclude this, the airmen were told to endeavor to get herc Friday. All Washington will recognize the famous Army Air Corps fighting unit as the tiny, high-powered pursuit planes, spread out in eight formations of three pianes each and butiched closely together, dive down of the city at terrific speeds. Maj. Thomas G. Lanphier, commander of Selfridge Field and leader of the group, will be at the head of this fighting force. These 24 planes, augmented by 9 bombardment ships and 9 observa- tion planes, making a total of 42 in all, will take off from Bolling Field as the Memphis nears Washington and join up with the Navy force, the majority of which will have flown up the river from a point near Chesa- peake Bay. Included in the 9 ob- servation plane formation wil be 2 Post Office Department transcontinen- tal air mail planes, piloted by two fa- mous air mail pilots—Harry G. Smith and Shirley J. Short. Two Depart- ment of Commerce observation planes also will be in that observation group. Signal for Landing. Making their way up to Washing- ton, the 84 planes will sweep over the city, and as the Memphis docks a white panel will be spread out on Boll- ing Field, as a signal to the Army planes to land. After they have come to rest on the ground, the Navy planes, some of which will be equip- ped with wheels, also will land. In the Navy aerial group will be 16 torpedo planes, 11 fighting planes, 5 light observation planes, all from Hampton Roads and Brown Field, Quantico, and 10 planes from the naval air station here. Lieut. George R. Henderson, chief of the flight test section of the Naval Alr Station, will have the task of as- sembling Col. Lindbergh's plane after it is unloaded from the Memphis and conveyed to the air station on a barge. Lieut. Henderson has selected a crew of 12 of his best men for the duty He did not know today just how the Spirit of St. Louis had been packed, but expressed the be- lief that if the engine had not been removed it would be but an hour or 80 before the plane would be ready for the air. Col, Lindbergh’s military uniform, which was brought here from St. Louis at the suggestion of Maj. Gen. Patrick, chief of the Air Corps, in order that it could be made available to the airman should he desire to wear it at the ceremonies incident to his receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross from President Coolidge, will be taken to Norfolk tonight by boat and tomorrow will be delivered to the Memphis at sea by the destroyer Goff, which will convey a:party of news- paper men and photographers out to the cruiser. The uniform, bearing the glistening milver wings of un Army pilot and the shining spread eagles of a colonel, will be placed at the young airman’s dis- posal, with no intimation or allusion that he should wear it. Tentative plans yesterday called for its deliv- ery 1o the cruiser by one of the Army TC blimps at Langley Field, Hampton, Va., but air officers here abandoned that this morning in favor of the de- stroyer in order to be certain that the garments would reach him. Doolittle Is Expected. Another distinguished Army airman who is due to arrive here and greet Col. Lindbergh is Lieut. James H. Doo- little of McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio, who recently executed an outside loop, the goal of all fyers, and who won the chneider International Seaplane Trophy at Baltimore in 1925, Lieut. Doolittle likewise was the first Amer- jean airman to fly over the Andes, and he made the hazardous journey with two broken ankles in casts. Lieut. Russell L. Maughan, who flew from New York to San Francisco between “dawn and ‘dusk,” probably will reach Washington late this after- noon or tomorrow morning. -He took off from Casxver, Wy terday and arrived at lowa Cfry, Jowa, last eve- ning, accompanied by Maj. P. Wardwell, Army Air Corps Reserve. He pianned 1o leave for Washington early today if the weather permits. When Col. Lindbergh leaves Wash- ington for New York Monday he will be accompanied all the way by the st Pursult Group, which will land at the Army base, Mitchel Fleld, Mineola, Long Island, irrespective of he place selected for the famous air- man. The group then will escort the fiyer to St. Louis, probably leaving the day before he departs and picking him up af -Dayton. An invitaion is. waiting here for Lindbergh to participate in a Dallas, Tex.,-to-Hongkong filght. Senator Mayfleld of Texas has the fnvitation. The flight, which e a prize of $25,000, ix sponsored hy V Jlam E. Easterwood, jr., of Dalfas, in commemoration of Lieut. Jesse Easter- wood, who planned a New York-to- Paris non-stop flight, but was killed in & crash in Panama before he could attempt it. Two stops would be per- mitted, one at Honolulu and ope at a either Guam or Manila, ) The social roster of the Lindbergh parade was announced today by Brig. Gen. S. D. Rockenbach, U. S. A., commander for the Department of Washington, who is to be grand marshal of the parade. Gen. Rockenbach, accompanied by his aldes representing the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, and the National Guard, will ride at the head of the procession, forming .at the Peace Monument, The military section of the parade will be as follows: The parade will form at the Peace Monument in the following order: Grand marshal, Brig. Gen. 8. D. Rockenbach, and staff. The Army Band. 3d Battalion, 12th Infantry. 13th Engine 3d Cavalry Band. 16th Field Artillery (less one bat- tery). 24 Squadron, 3d Cavalry (less one troop). Marind Band. Battalion of Marines. Navy Band. Detachment of bluej District of Columbia Then Col. Lindbergh, accompanied only by John Hays Hammond, as chairman of the executive committee of the official reception committee, will ride in a White House car, en- tirely surrounded by the official escort of “The President’'s Own” troop of cavalry from Fort Myer. This car will be isolated so that it will be easily distinguishable for the public along the line of march. The official reception committee will follow in cars as follows: The Secretary of War, the Secretary OFFICIAL ROSTER OF PARADE ANNOUNCED BY ROCKENBACH THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1927 of the Navy, the Postmaster General.

He announced after the meeting that any applications that have been made for tickets by persons who are not from Minesota will be sent back, as the State society desires emphatically to purge itself of any suspicion that has been commercializing the Lind- h reception. Mr. Schumenan was accompanied by Miss Bede Johnson, president of the Minnesota State Society, who con- firmed his statement regarding the misunderstanding over the opening of headquaters in the Gridiron room of the Willard Hotel to accommodate Minnesota people. R. R. Blythe, personal representa- tive of Lindbergh, who has been co- operating with the citizens' committee, vill leave Washington tonight, and will go out from Norfolk tomorrow morning on a destroyer to meet the Memphis, which he will board. Outside of the pilot, Mr. Blythe is the only person expected to board the Memphis before it docks at the President’s wharf in the Navy Yard. Mr. Blythe is carrying invitations from every State in the union and from scores of communities which want Lindbergh to visit them during the next two months. Lindbergh’s uniform as an officer in the Missouri National Guard is now in Washington in the custody of I. J. Roberts, secretary of the citizens’ committee, and will be taken to Lind- bergh aboard the Memphis by Mr. Blythe, so that the intrepid aviator may be in uniform when decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross by_President Coolidge. Brig. Gen. Creed C. Hammond, chief of the Militia Bureau of the War De- partment, explained today the reason he had been forced to notify historic units of the National Guard in various States which had planned to come at their own expense to Washington to join in the parade Lindberg day that it was impossible to give them place in the parade. Gen. Hammond said that his first understanding was that a few such representative organizations would be welcomed in the parade but that later it had been decided by Brig. Gen. Rockenbach, commanding for this district, who is marshal of the parade, to limit the military feature so that the parade might be taken from Peace Monument to the Washington Monu- ment grounds in 25 minutes. Maj. Gen. John L. Clem, commander of the Department of the Potomac of the Grand Army, today protested against limiting the number of repre- sentatives of the five big veterans’ organizations to 150 persons for the ceremony of massing flags in honor of Lindbergh in the Walter Reed Hos- pital grounds. It finally has been de- termined that this brief service will be allowed in that reservation. John Hays Hammond, as chairman of the executive committee, today an- nounced that through Mr. Blythe, Col. Lindbergh has let it be known that| his participation in the exercises at ‘Walter Reed Hospital is primarily and fundamentally to be with the disabled soldiers and that he desives no cther exercises to interfere with that senti- mental feature of the program. The Navy will be the first to par- ticipate in the official welcome of Lind- bergh. The dirigible Los Angeles, 16 torpedo planes and six destroyers will leave early tomorrow to meet the Memphis 50 to 100 miles at sea. The Los Angeles will go from her TLake- hurst, N. J., station, while the planes and destroyers will depart from Hamp- ton Roads, Va. The final orders for the Los Angeles, which is to drop packages of mail, in- vitations and congratulatory messages for Lindbergh aboard the cruiser, were to be dispatched late today to Lake- hurst from Washington by a Navy scouting plane. The Los Angeles un- der the orders, will hover above the cruiser, throttle down to the speed of the vessel and lower the package of messages by a line to the ship. Parking Plans Announced. Arrangements were completed to- day for parking of.as many automo- biles of the public in the parks as the space will permit. The parking arrangements and the handling -of automobiles in the parks is under the direction of Capt. M. H. Parsons. chief of the protection division of the office of public buildings and public parks of the National Capital, Parallel parking of automobiles will be permitted on both sides of the road- way in Kast Potomac Park leading to and from Halns Point. At Hains Point proper the automobiles will park at an angle, so that as many as possible can be accommodated. However, (apt. Parsons warned that people who go to ast Potomac Park should not area in a rush after the cruise Memphis passes the point and pro- ceeds up the Anacostia River. The park police will be instructed to let automobiles out of the area as rapldly as possible, but, it is pointed out, there probably will be a stream of automobiles using the Fourteenth street roadway from the Highway Bridge, which may make it difficult for people to get out of East Potomac Park in a hurry in an effort to reach the ceremonies in the Mounment grounds, or to get to points of van- tage along the parade route. There will be no parking permitted on any of the roadways within the roadways on B street between Fif- teenth and Seventeenth streets, Parallel parking will be permitted on both sides of the roadway around the Ellipse.

The brief presentation ceremonies will take place at the vesper flag service on the west steps of the Capitol Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock. Mr. Hughes agreed to make the pres- entation during a long-distance con- versation yesterday with Col. James A. Moss, director general of the flag association. Mrs. Lindbergh has been invited to be present at the decoration of her distinguished son. Will Be First So Honored. The Cross of Honor, which invests the recipient with thetitle of “Knight of the Flag” and confers upon him life membership in the Order of the Flag, the “Legion of Honor” of the United States Flag Association, is the high- est honor awarded by that associa- tion. It is awarded to Col. Lind- bergh, the first man to recelve it, “in recognition of his conspicuous service to the flag, through his mar- velous achievement which has emphasized so strongly in the eyes of the entire world the hopes, aspira- tions and destiny of the American people as symbolized by the flag of the United States.” Col. Lindbergh is to be escorted to the Vesper flag service directly from the ceremonies at Walter Reed Hos- pital and the presentation will take place immediately after his arrival. In explaining today the difficulty experienced in being unable to ac- commodats even a small fractional part of the demand for tickets to reserved places on the Monument Grounds and in directing those who received tickets how to proceed to cause the least disorder, Lieut. Col U. S. Grant, 3d, chairman of the committee on arrangements, reported as follows: Arrangements Explained, The committee has been ahle to arrange seats only for the high offi- cials themselves, and in some cases for one member of their families, whose positions indicate them as persons who should be present at the reception. Enough seats for the chiefs «of the foreign mi: ns have been reserved in sectic B of the President’s stand, while the Tecep- tion committee, including the cabi urt and the special committees of the Senate and IHouse s, will be taken care { of Represe ! of in section C (white ticket). “The seats in section D, 15, I' and 1G (red and blue tickets) are only sufficient for the Senators, members tof the House of Representatives, | chiefs of the executive departments and bureaus who are in town. As the ceremony will take but a few min- utes and as the view will be better from the sloping ground of the Washington Monument mound some little distance from the stand, the committee did not feel that it would he advisable or necessary to attempt the construction of a large grand- stand for any large number of people. In fact, with the short time hle and the impossibility of scertaining in advance just who | would come in at the Jast moment, it would have been impracticable to provide seats for all the officials of the Government to whom we would like to give them.

FLYER FED UP ON CHICKEN. Longs for Good Steak—Sees Whales From Cruiser. S. S. MEMPHIS, June 9 (A.— is a tip for President Coolidge and others who are arranging feasts for Col. Lindbergh. Don't feed him chicken—he’s plumb fed up with it. Lindbergh ordinarily likes chicken, but it has been placed before him in one form or another at nearly every formal luncheon since he landed at Le Bourget Field, Paris, from New At the field it was handed him in the form of soup. Then in Paris he was served with the finest that the countryside produced. When he flew to Brussels, it was chicken again, capon, Spring chicken and roasted chicken, and during the luncheons and banquets in London the English brought prize fowls from Surrey and Kent to tickle his palate. Longs for Good Steak. On the Memphis, chicken has been part of the daily menu also, so Lind- bergh is longing for a good, old-fash- joned steak, roast, hash or anything but chicken. But through it all, hero that he is, he has eaten what was set before him with apparent relish, and grinned.

Clerk, Charged With Christmas Fund Conversion, Will Be Tried Wednesday. George Harry Damon Young, former War Department clerk, who is charged with misappropriating a, Christmas fund of fellow employes, is in the Dis- trict jail today in default of bond of $7,500. He was surrendered yesterday by his former bondsman after Attor- neys Hawken & Havell had withdrawn as his counsel. Justice Hoehling de- forred the trial until Wednesday and committed Young to jail. 5 Young voluntarily surrendered him- self to the police December 15, and \as taken to Police Court that day by Headquarters Detective James Springman. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of conversion after trust before Judge George H. Macdonald. The warrant on which he appeared was sworn out by Stanley F. Burrows and involved less than $300. According to the po- lice, however, it is alleged that the en- tire amount involving Young totals $10,000. PRESIDENT TO RECEIVE VETERANS IN HOSPITALS President and Mrs. Coolidge this afternoon will receive World War vet- erans who are patients in the various Government. hospitals in and about Washington. This reception, which will be held in the rear grounds of the White House, will take on the form of a garden party, although few per- sons other than the veterans and nurses, officlals identified with veteran welfaré activities and members of the President’s cabinet and their wives will be among the guests. This custom of receiving the vet- erans each Spring on the White Fouse lawn was inaugurated by Presi- dent and Mrs. Harding, and has been faithfully followed each year by Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge since their occupancy of the White House. Music for the occasion will be fur- nished by the U. S. Marine Band. Several gayly colored marquees have been erected in the grounds from which refreshments will be served. ----- . LINDBERGH URGES FLOATING SHELTERS ON ATLANTIC OCEAN (Continued_from First Page.) throughout the world, but egpecially in European countries, and the public will patronize the transatlantic serv- jce just as soon as it demonstrates practicability and reasonable safety. The transatlantic air liners will com- pete only with boats and over long distances, with the resultant saving in time amounting to days rather than hours. . To discuss the many advantages of transoceanic flying, financially and otherwise, is hardly necessary here. although in question of time alone it is easy to see the vast saving which can be effected. Big business will at once see its superior aspects, and cer: tainly every one will use it for the transport of important mail. In summing up, therefore, the fol- lowing conclusions may be drawn: First. Transoceanic air service is not only practical but inevitable. Second. Tt will be conducted with multi-motors and flying boats operat- ing in conjunction with floating air stations. This first regular transoceanic air service will probably be inaugurated from five to ten years from now. Messages are coming in so thick and fast that I cannot keep track of them. One hundred came in this morning and there are several hun- dred more on the way. ‘They have come from every imaginable source. One is from a girl in Brooklyn, who said: “I want to be the first girl to fly the Atlantic with you. When do we leave?” 3 T am sorry I cannot accommodate er. Seasickness Unlikely Now. ‘With only 1,200 more miles to go before we come alongside the Wash- ington Navy Yard, all danger of sea- sickness is over. Well, there wasn't any real danger for me, even during the first two days when the sea was running fairly high. I suppose flying in all kinds of weather and through gales helped some, although I would have been interested in the experi- ence. I ate enough candy to make any one sick ashore, but I guess I wasn't booked to be sick this time. I have always been ready for meals and the food certainly has been good all the way. Had lunch with 38 chief petty officers today and enjoyed it thorough- ly. The mess room was decorated with American flags and we had some homemade coconut cake that tasted like home. Tonight T dined with the warrant officers, And had another excellent meal. I am putting in all my spare time on my book and feel that it will be in pretty good shape by the time we arrive. I want it to be a true and accurate account of our flight from its inception to the day we get back to the United States, and am confident that the public would rather read a story of this kind than a highly color- ful narrative. Heart Is In Aviation. My heart is all bound up with avl- ation and its advancement, and I sincerely hope that the book may offer modest encouragment along these lines, It was a lot of fun “shooting the sun" this afternoon with the Memphis sextant. I was fortunate enough to hit it with a fair degree of accuracy. Among the scores of messages com- ing in was one from Ambassador Herrick, which said: “We all miss you even unto Max and our affection follows you.” a Max, you know, is the Ambassador’s dog, who the first time in his lite abandoned his master’s bedroom and slept at the foot of my bed the night I reached Paris. This regime aboard ship has put me in fine shape—breakfast at 8, plenty of fresh air and exercise, won- derful food, no speeches and to bed at a reasonable hour in a comfortable cabin. 1 will be ready for anything when T step on dry land again, TWO D'AUTREMENT BROTHERS SEIZED Arrest in Ohio Followed by Waiving of Extradition to Oregon. By the Associated Press. STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, June 9 Extradition to Oregon to stand trial for the mu.der of four “ersc ‘i in a train hold-up in 1923 was waived to- day by Ray and Roy D'Autremont, twins, who were arrested here last night after a search that extended al- most around the world. Formal extradition proceedings will | be carried out late today, before C.| J. Borkowski, United States commis- sioner, and the brothers probably will be taken to Columbus for safekeeping pending the arrival of officezs from Oregon. ‘ Identity Is Confessed. .01 i.en have .onfessed their iden. but neither has admitted com- plicity in the held-up that took place in a tunnel near Siskiyou, Oreg., Oc- tober 11, Ray, however, when confronted by a group of officers, who arrested him at his home, where he was living un- der an assumed name, with his young wife, recognized Edward E. Pomeroy, a Federal agent, and told him that he would have killed him if he had the chance, because he knew what was ahead of him. “If you had come inside the house I would have killed you and then shot myself. My life is worth noth- ing to me now, for I know what I am up against,” the officers quoted him as saying. Wife Is Prostrated. Roy, who was arrested in an em- ployment agency and taken to police headquarters for finger printing, re- marked: “Well, it looks like so of you guys are in for a reward.” Twenty thousand dollars was on the heads of the brothers-when the arrests were made. Ray, who had married an Iron- ton, Ohio, girl, since the hold-up, under the name of Clarence Goodwin, had never revealed his identity to her, and when news came back to her from the police station of the charge against her husband, she was prostrated.

HAIG SEES BRITAIN MAIN WAR VIGTOR Says Triumph Would Have Come Without Interven- tion of America. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 9.—The belief that the British armies would eventually have gained the victory in the World ‘War even if the United States had Rn[ intervened is held by Field Marshal Earl Haig, commander-in-chief of the British expeditionary forces in France and Flanders from 1915 to 1919. Addressing the British Empire Serv- ice League last night he protested against what he described as the na- tional tendency to belittle the part Great Britain played in winning the war. He referred gratefully to the share of the allies, but contended that although without American interven- tion the result might have been de- layed, it would have been the same. “Carried Main Burden.” He maintained that for the last 18 months of the war the armies of the British Empire carried on their shoulders the main burden of the struggle and carried it to victory. “The national tendency to belittle } Manor; W.

Mistakes of Germany. “If America had not come in, we might not, perhaps, have forced the enemy to surrender in 1918, for with- out American reserves in existence, it would have been unwise to risk throw- ing the whole force of the British army into the tremendous series of battles which brought the war to a sudden and, according to many poli- ticians, unexpected end, but we should have won in the end all the same.” As for the mistakes of Germany, he said she nade-only two serious effors, first, when she began the war under conditions which brought in the Brit- ish Empire, and, second, when she lost the war, DEFECTIVE COMPASS BLAMED FOR COLUMBIA LOSING WAY (Continued from First Page.) people. Plenty of them we knew would be only to glad of an opvortu- nity to jump on us—especially some of the newspapers. That decided u It was a case o ‘We continued. land.” So we headed for the 250 miles of open water that lay between us and Nova Scotia and .hen, as if ve had not had trouble enough about our com- pass, we began to buck head winds. It took us much longer than we had figured to hit Nova Scotia and when we got there we were miles off our course—iwo and a half hours late. Now we knew that if we Kept up that sort of thing it would be landing in the big drink for us. But it was too late to hesitate. The plane was turned toward the open Atlantic and we gritted our teeth and started to buck the really big part of our task. Our next thrill was an iceberg. At first we simply could not make out what it was. See Their First Iceberg. “Surely, there is no ship as white ’ we said to each other—be- cause you see it looked like a ship. ‘We dipped down so we could get a good look at the thing and then we saw it was an iceberg, the first one either of us had ever seen. It was quite a surprise, that big white hunk of ice out there in the middle of the ocean. We thought we had flgured out everything we might meet, but somehow neither of us had thought of that. Afterwards there was no thrill in icebergs at all. Before we got away from the Atlantic we had sighted 15 or 20 of these white fellows and at least 100 small ones. We used ice- bergs to check our drift from our course, since the icebergs seemed fairly stationary. Chamberlin took a look at one of the big fellows and remarked: “I wonder if we could climb to the top of that thing if we were forced to land on it.” By the way, the icebergs looked grand in the moonlight. After the icehergs came fog, and that bothered us a lot. Incidentally we got one big surprise—we expected fog and plenty of it off the Grand Banks, since we had heard they were famous for it, but we did not strike a vestige of fog there. After we got clear of the Banks we found fog where we did not expect it at all. Mr, Rimball of the New York Weather Bureau had advised us that it we hit fog in bad weather on the northward course which we had mapped out we should veer a bit to the south and we would find things all right. So we did. And we discov- ered that he was some prophet, for things turned out exactly as he said they would. Unable to Escape Fog. Once the fog was so had ‘that Chamberlin went up fully 15,000 feet, we are on our way, but we don't know where we will We flashed our searchlight, putting it on and oft several times, and we knew they recognized it, because they ac-. knowledged it in the same way. We dropped down rather close to them, trying to read their name. By that time we were wondering whether we were going to hit Ire- land, England, France or Spain, which shows to what extent we were lost up there in the storm, fog and clouds. And then came our next big thrill —the Mauretania. Suddenly she loomed up at us from down below, about 10 miles distant, and we cer- tainly made a beeline for her. We circled several times over her and we clearly read her' name, We also waved our hands to the passengers on her decks. Signaled to Steamer. Levine signaled with his hand like a telegraphist working a telegraph key and an officer on the deck of the Mauretania saluted and immediately went off, showing he understood—we think it was the captain. We came within 50 to 100 feet of the Maure- tania, flying along right beside her. We immediately dug up a copy of the New York Times which we were carrying in the back of our plane. We turned over the pages until we found the steamship news and learned what day the Mauretania had sailed from Southampton. Having found it; we started com- puting what her position would be roughly when we sighted her, and from that we computed our position and saw we were somewhere near Ireland or England. The next big thrill was our first glimpse of land. We don't know just what place it was. Levine was sure it must be Ireland because he was born on the 17th of March—St. Pat- rick's day. Anyhow, it was Ireland or Gngland. We knew then we were in sight of success and we began to get excited. Over the North Sea the plane be- came unmanageabl Chamberlin said: ‘I can't do a thing with it, you take the stick.” Levine laughed and Chamberlin won- dered why. Levine said it was because it was like riding a bucking broncho when E’;Q.\' shout, “Ride him, cowboy, ride m."” Forced Up 20.0&. Feet. After that we thought things would be comparatively smooth. Now that the really dangerous part of the trip was over, the thrills we thought would et less {requent, but there was one mighty big one. After we had gone over quite a strip of the Eu- ropean continent and we were well on our way toward Berlin there came a thrill which we figured out was the biggest of the whole trip. We found ourselves forced to go up to an altitude of something like 000 feet above the ground and stay { there the whole night. | knew we might have been even higher because the altitude recorder we were carrying only registered as far as that height—as soon as you get to hoping to clear it, but in vain. This was as high as we could climb_with the load we were carrying. From there we dropped down to a few feet over the water but still there was 108 20,000 feet it become all guesswork how much higher you may be. Our thermometer registered 18 de- grees above the freezing point. It certainly was cold. We stuck up there at that altitude all around. And all this while we were reduced right through the night before we could venture down further.

The enthu- siasm of the country over the flight knows no bounds and organizations and individuals are competing to en- tertain the airmen, ong the many suggestions that have been made is one that when Chamberlin returns to the United States he be taken aboard a German ‘warship, preferably the cruiser Berlin. “This honor,” says the Achtuhr Abendblatt, “would show the Ameri- can people more than anything else how proud Germany is over the fact that the two countries are not di- vided any longer by the ocean.” On Saturday the two aviators plan to fly to Potsdam in the company of leading German Air League officials. Next day they expect to fly to Vienna. They will return to Berlin Thursdav, proceeding by air to Bremerhaven to meet their wives, due from New York next day. Flyers Constantly Acclaimed. Such enthusiasm as has been aroused over the flight is rarely seen in Berlin. From the time the fliers rose yesterday to keep their appoint- ment with President von Hinderbursg until they returned to the American embassy, their headquarters, to dress for an official dinner, they were con." stantly obliged to acknowledge greet- ings. The populace not only talks about the two Americans, but sings about them. A hastily composed ballad, sung to the tune of a well known German ditty is heard evervwhere, It begins: “Chamberlin, Chamberlin, dich sehen in Berlin” (“Let us see you in Berlin"). The newspapers are filled with columns of description of the flizht and its significance and praise for Chamberlin and Levine. Only a fow papers have fault to find. The Com- munist Rote Fahn (Red Flag) describes the Lindbergh and Chamberlin flights as tests by “American imperialism" of the possibility of aviation, with view later to “bombing attacks from the air.” “Unfortunatel says the left Democratic Volks-Zeitung, “the hright picture of this great technical achieve ment. also shows up some dark shad ows. Here, too, militarism will sel upon the crossing of the ocean as excuse for makirg milita of ti Americans' flight.» P Enthusiastic Over Piane. German engineers, airplane manu- facturers and airmen who flocked to the Tempelhofer field to inspect ti Bellanca plane Columbia. were en- thuslastic over its construction. The general opinion is that Ameri- can airplane experts, working in silence, have developed a machine of which they may well be proud. Cham- berlin also took time to make an inspection of his ship. He found that all was in perfect order, notwithstand- ing the forced landing at Klinge. When they return home, the airmen will have a great deal; more baggage than they brought with them on their great flight. They have already re- ceived many gifts of all descriptions and there is promise of much more to come.
