Norway, May 4.—The dirig- ible Italia landed here safely at 9:10 |‘o'clock this morning from Stolp, Ger- | many, more than 1150 miles away. The airship will be refueled here | before it carries Gen. Umberto Nobile | and his expedition to Kings Bay, Spitz- | bergen, for another conquest of the | Arctic wastes. | In Air 30 Hours. The flight was begun at Stolp at |3:20 am. yesterday. The crew of a | government steamer and troops were called out at Vadsoe to assist in bring- ing the craft to earth. The weather was good with a light breeze. The last report from the ship was received at 4:30 o'clock this morning by the radio station at Vadsoe. And indicated that it was making steady progress. . During the night the ship was sighted at 10 o'clock near the town of Gamla Karleby, also known as Kokkola, Fin- land, about 475 miles south of Vadsoe, on the gulf of Bothnia. It was headed | morth. Weather Favorable. Beautiful weather favored the expedi- tion throughout and the Italia glided up the east coast of Sweden and cir- cled over Stockholm just before noon. Ten Swedish military planes escorted the airship and she went out of her course to permit one of the men aboard the Finn Malgren to drop a note to his mother, living at Appelviken, west of Stockholm Returning over the Swedish capital Nobile maneuvered the dirigible over the Italian legation and exchanged greetings with the Duke of Colonnia. Italian minister. Then the Italia turned to the Gull of Bosnia and headed north at a speed of less than 50 miles an hour. A large crowd gathered to greet the explorers who made a good landing after maneuvering for some minutes. The Italia was first seen above the Varanger Mountains pulsing rapidly to- ward Vadsoe. The giant dirigible cir- cled twice over the town, flying so low as to appear about to land. It rose again, however, and made for mooring mast on the outskirts T 7the bus’ was discharged and was mooring to the mast completed with- out a hitch. ‘Weather conditions this morn! showed clouds, with a little wind, whi it was believed, however. would clear the skies gradually. This little city—with a bare 2000 population—one of the two or three northernmost towns in the world, was | gally bedecked in flags and bunting in honor of the visiting airmen. Envelope Slightly Torn. In the course of the landing opera- tions the Italia received a slight rent in the forepart of the envelope, but it was of a nature believed easily mended Although Gen. Nobile announced he would take off for Spitzbergen at 6 o'clock this afternoon, others saw in reports of weather betwefn here and the northerly island conditions which might hold the dirigible here longer than originally intended. A low-pressure area between Norway and Spitzbergen was reported, with a moderate breeze and snow falling at Green Harbor. ITALIA'S SHED DAMAGED.

BY FREDERICK R. NEELY, Correspondent of The Star. LANGLEY FIELD, Hampton, Va, May 4.—The cream of the Army air force today passed in review at a gigantic demonstration held here not for the purpose of showing that the air- | plane could wipe cut an enemy force | unassisted but as a revelation to the | other branches of the service of tactics | employed in fighting high above the earth as well as operating against ob- jectives on the ground. It was haded as a demonstration of inestimable value to the national deferse, in that all other branches of military warfare had a clear insight into just what the Army Alr Corps can do. Nearly 100 modern military fight- ing planes were concentrated at the &%‘m' 75 “’mb:‘“hl.“w Senate and House, y afterncon from Bolling Fleld at Washington, and high officers of the Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery, looked on, the Air Corps, from the viewpoint of military aviation, presented the finest exhibition of aerial tactics ever given in Fnee time. Revealing years of training, supreme skill in pfloting and maneuvering. the aerfal fighters battled against one an- other thousands of {eet above the earth and then joined hands in showing the rest of the Army how they would op- erate against enemy forces on the ground. ~‘The congressional deiegation was visibly tmpressed, many of them | for the first time obtaining direct evi- dence as to the meaning of the words “aerfal fighting force.” To Attack Ground Targets. Aalf of the demonstration was given this morning and later this afternoon the most spectacular event of the pro- grem will be held. It will consist of a united attack against ground targets by the three cipal branches of military aviation. bing, pursuit and attack planes. They will be augmented by speedy smoke screen laying planes. ‘The demonstration opened this morn- ing with an exhibition of how a squad- ron of bombing planes wculd be at- | ‘acked by enemy pursuit planes. Twenty- | three double engined bombers took off in groups of three and met high above the airdrome, where they divided into three flights of seven planes each. A flight was arranged in V-shape and the two odd bombers closed in behind, form- ing a perfect diamond. ‘They closed up in a tight formation, flying wing to wing, and presenting a spectacular sight. Offieers at the fleld declared the formation which is sur- rounded by great hazard, owing to the close order in which they must maneu- ver, was the best ever executed by the bombardment group located here, As the bombers put on aititude 20 speedy _pursuit ships from Selfridge Field, Mich,, lined up on the airdrome in one big “V." took off together and were high tn the air before a_minute had elapsed from the time Ma). Thomas G. Lanphier gave the signal to d!?url It was a striking demonstration of the speed with which an aerial pursuit unit could leave the ground and prepare for an attack on an enemy. Pursult Planes Dive, In the meantime the bombers had reached an altitude of about 4,000 feet, but the pursuit planes, divided into six flights of three planes each, with two hanging on behind as “clean-up men," were reaching the 8,000-foot altitude level. The bombers sailed majestically across the fleld and suddenly, with al- mopt the speed of lightning, the for- mation of pursult craft charged down upon them. The roar from their wide- open engines was deafening, and they appeared to be headed for sure de- struction as they persisted in flying right to the center of the big bombing group. About 75 yards away from their target, however, they zoomed at a tre- | mendous speed and climbed back to thelr original altitude. “Ciood-by hombers!" exclalmed one observer as the pursuit planes dashed down upon them, From another quar- ter of the group, however, the expla- nation was advanced that 102 machine guna in the bombing group were point- ed at the pursuit planes as they dived down at more than 250 miles an hour Furthermore, the pursult planes were in formation and the pllots bad to keep one eye open for the planes nearest them, as the slightest deflection from the course would have meant a whole- sale collision.
