FLYERS REPARI T0 LEAVE ISANE RESCUERS ON WAY Lack of Repair Tools Thought Only Obstacle Now Con- fronting Airmen. FORCED LANDING IS LAID TO DENSE FOG OVER SEA Supply of Gasoline Only 50 Miles Away—Plane and Ice Ship Depart for Scene. By the Associated P QUEBEC, April 14.—Brief messages today indicated that the marooned transatlantic monoplane Brémen may have saved enough fuel so that it can | continue its flight if hecessary repairs | can be made with what few tools are | available on Greenly Island Straits of Belle Isle. At first it was believed that a forced landing on the tiny island had been mecessitated by exhaustion of the fuel supply, but fragmentary reports today led to the belief that the Bremen came down chiefly because the pilots gave up hope of establishing their position in | the dense fog through which they ‘wandered for hours Supply 50 Miles Away. If this is indeed the fact, and if Tepairs can be made, only enough fuel ‘would be necessary to fly to Port Saunders, 50 miles away, where a sup- ply sufficient to continue to New York could be obtained. Only regular com- mercial gasoline is available at Port Saunders, but it was believed that the Breman engine could be adjusted to use this instead of ‘the special fuel it burned on its ocean flight. !

BY GLENN BABB, Associated Press Correspondent. PEKING, April 14.—Spring is urging & score or more Chinese armies into movement again, sending them afield to harvest the 1928 crop from the many | years’ sowing of the dragon's teeth. Winter rumors of peace have given way to boasts of coming victories. The first | skirmishes have begun. | A cursory glance at the confused map of China gives the impression that the battle now joined is very one-sided. The sun-flag of the Kuomintang. the party of the revolution which has sworn to unify China under its rule, flies in 16 of the 18 provinces of China proper; “On to Peking!" is the slogan of foes that threaten the old capital from all in thel sides except the sea and the north. On | | the map it appears that the tough old | ex-bandit, the dictator of Peking, Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, has been pressed back into a small corner of the country with his back to the wall—the Great Wall of China.

The demonstration, while it had been tipped off, almost caught the police off guard, but a hurried call brought head- quarters detectives in charge of In- spector Pratt, and riot squads from the | first and third precincts, who quickly took command of the situation. Approximately 15 juveniles in the group, which was made up of men and women, boys and girls, were taken to the House of Detention, and the rest, 69 in number, were lodged at the precinets, A charge of violation of the park regu- lations relating to parading on a Gov- ernment reservation without a permit was filed against them Early in the day the State Depart- ment notified the Police Department that the demonstration was in the of- fing, and as a result details of police and plain clothes men were assigned both at Union Station and at the White House. Then, later advices were to the effect that the party would leave New York on an afternoon train, and arrangements were made for the “re- ception” in early evening. Banners in Evidence.
