Men were listening around the buzzing loud speaker from which the sound of the plane’s motor came ilke an | echo of a distant wind. | Signals_ticked in and looking over Howard Mason’s shoulder as he copled the message could be read: “See the plane now some one below waving” A shout went up, “They are safe,” but there was only one man ap- parently. “The message sald “some one.” | Where were the others? Were they | hear this message. |and that she expects further to be re- dead or injured in the tent? We asked ourselves these questions, looking at each other, sucking at forgotten and unlighted pipes. “Waving and working blinker,” wrote Mason. We could see that tiny light | flashing up in morning darkness, What dreadful message did it carry? Fear Pervades Base. “Landin,” the pencil spelled out. We looked at each other In amazing fear. The blinker must have told of some- thing very serious if they were to chance a landing in that poor light | after a storm that had bumped and torn the surface. Could they do it safely? We were a silent and worried group of men. There was a long period of silence. Mason looked up and said they had taken in the antenna and he | could no longer hear the engine after it had been throttled down for the glide. We could imagine stalling in| over a surface, waiting for the first shock of touching. The moments dray ged as Mason twiddled his dials, tur ing them back and forth without res| sult. Suddenly he picked up his pencil. Gloom Disappears. “Landed O. K. Every one O. K.” he wrote. The shadow of gloom which had hung over us all day was lifted by those commonplace little words. Men jumped up and down and pounded each other on the back until Mason looked up with a frown of annoyance. He wanted to ‘There was nothing more for the time and then came word that again startled us. It was from the plane and was sent by June, the chubby, calm-eyed and efficient pilot, who had been acting as radio operator on flights. He and Balchen were on their way back with Smith and were 20 minutes out from the mountains in the approaching cark- ness. Comdr. Byrd was staying behind with Hanson and Larry Gould until they could be reached on another flight. They tumbled to their feet and ran out on the field. They waved their fur parkas, for it was bitterly cold out there with the wind blowing strong from the east. We stared into that wall of darkness above, in which a few stars twinkled dimly. Behind us was the first glow left by the sun, a_cold pale radi- ance that marked the horizon sharply under a line of broken clouds. A lantern was heid up to the mouth of the orange marker so that it showed clearly in the gloom, and then there was the distant whine of a plane and faint against the dark sky we could see the plane, and the long line of hooded figures jumped up and down in the twilight of the fires and put their arms out in greeting. The plane was banked and circled over the field and then went out over the bay and turned in a wide circle, then it glided down toward the lights. It was a strange and beau- tiful picture as the plane, like a huge black bird, was silhouetted against the dim light over the bay ice coming from a trip of rescue. It slipped sideways a little to check its speed and then moved toward us very slowly in the darkness. ‘The skies flashed by just over flying flags and then it came down gently. A slight crunching sound, a few quick dips of the wing and it was safely in a perfect landing. (Copyright, 1020, by the New York Times and the 8t. Louis Post Dispatch.

PARIS, March 20.—The experts com- mittee on reparations is making a good start at its key problem—the amount and durations of annuities with which Germany’s debt will be paid. Discussion is strictly semi-official, however, and there still are wide gaps between the hopes and claims of the different parties. But there is a spirit of conciliation in the air which seemed today to justify an optimistic outlook on deliberations which soon may reach a plenary session of the committee. Frence today was credited with the intention of claiming ten billion marks (about $2,500,000,000) of an immediate payment which Germany is expected to make. Belgium, it is stated, will ask reimbursement of six billion marks for allegedly worthless forged German currency which the German invaders left behind. Great Britain claims in the first pay- ment are expected to total about four billion marks (about $1,000,000,000). It is understood that Great Britain will claim that previous agreements do not apply to the claims of the dominion imbursed now for what has already been paid the United States on the war debt account. An effort is being made to arrive at some understanding regarding the amount and number of the annuities before Thursday when Dr. Hjalmar Schacht leaves for Berlin to attend a meeting of the directors of the | Relchsbank.

CHICAGO, March 20—Two men were killed last night in separate slay- ings, one by a bullet, the other by blows | from a piece of pipe, and each crime | was marked by mystery and unusual circumstances. | The Pony Inn Cafe in Cicero, in front | of which William McSwiggin, assistant State's attorney, was shot dead in one | of Cook County's most baffiing crimes, | was the place of the first killing of the | night. William J. Vercoe, 51, & man of | good reputation, was shot through the | back of the head. County police gave this explanation: “Vercoe strayed into a tough spot and spoke out of turn.” Only one shot was fired. Vercoe's head behind the left ear. Fuel Oil Official. Vercoe was head of a fuel oil corpo- ration. Why he was in the Pony Inn Cafe was not clear, especlally since the | saloon has been officially “closed” for three years. In the pocket of Vercoe's coat was found a notebook with the notation “Miles O'Donnell, $500.” Police regard- ed this as significant. A “Miles O'Don- nell” was arrested in 1924 for the shoot- ing to death of Eddie Tancl, a Cicero saloon keeper. He was acquitted on a plea of self-defense. The man who prosecuted Miles O'Don- nell was William McSwiggin. Three men—a bartender, a porter and Michael Windle, one of the proprietors | of the saloon—were found at the scene of the Vercoe slaying, and were held for questioning. : The other slaying—that of Michael Hribski, 25, a flnance company em- ploye—was revealed by the slayer him- Stanley Reichel, 28, told police he had killed Hribski, striking him down in self-defense. A kidnaping plot— | threats of death—extortion letters— all these entered the Hribski killing. An even stranger coincidence was that po- lice had already been called into the| case even before Hribski was killed, or before there was any intimation that such a man was in any way involved. Demand for Cash. Reichel, a street car motorman, had been paying court to Frances Masa- lanka, 18-year-old daughter of John Masalanka, a prosperous contractor.
