NEW YORK, October 15.—Another chapter of the tragic story of Salomon Auguste Andree was brought back out of the shadowy past yesterday by Wal- ter Wellman, who set out 20 years ago today from Atlantic City in the dirigible America on the first attempted aerial voyage across the Atlantic. Four years before, in the America—a Httle airship not more than a fourth as large as the R-101—Mr. Wellman had attempted to fly over the North Pole from the same base, on Dane’s Island, whence started the ill-fated Andree balloon expedition in 1897. “One of the men who had worked for Andree up there worked for me,” Mr. Wellman said today, “and he told me that Andree believed he was com- mitting suicide when he set off for the North Pole in his balloon, but that he went anyway because he was afraid of public criticism.” Previous Failure Scored. Andree was supposed to start for the North Pole in his balloon in 1896, Mr. Wellman said, but he failed to get away. He was severely criticized by the news- papers, and it hurt him deeply. Mr. Wellman, in his seventy-second year now, had other stories to tell today—reminiscences of years in Wash- ington as & newspaper correspondent, of four attempts to reach the North Pole, twice with dog sleds and twice by alr, and of that first attempt to fly across the Atlantic. Atlantic Flight Failure. On a foggy Saturday morning 20 years ago tomorrow the America set out to chart an aerial path across the Atlantic. She trailed behind her in the water a long serpent of steel casks, in which were stored surplus fuel and supplies. This device was known as an “equilibrator,” and was supposed to serve as ballast. Fogs and storms— which everybody knows about now, but of which nobody had any conception in those days—lay ahead of her. Four days later, 1,000 miles east of Cape Hatteras, her crew brought her down near the water, cut loose the life- ‘boat they had swung underneath her, dro) to the Atlantic with a mighty splash, and from the deck of a steamer that rescued them wafched her bag drift away. Since that adventure Mr. Wellman has never ridden in any kind of aircraft, EUGENE O'NEILL PICKS SPOT TO DO WRITING American Dramatist Selects French Castle as Secluded Enough to Do Best Work. By the Associated Press. TOURS, France, October 15.—The Chateau du Plessis, a cozy castle snugl: hidden in the center of a on the northern slope of the Val- | ley of the Choisille, a little brook shaded by willow trees, is the spot Eugene O'Neill has selected to write: his new play. Ml ‘The American dramatist works mostly at night and keeps himself in the sever- est seclusion. The access to the cha- teau is restricted to invited guests, and they are few. Mr. and Mrs, O'Neill, the former Car- lotta Monterey, have been residing here since the Spring of 1929. “I chose Touraine to write my new play in,” he explained, “because I loved the beauty and peace of this part of Prance and felt confident that here I could find the perfect calm and privacy necessary in order to do one’s best work.” He said he would remain a year and :e half, and that he health was never tter. IR O e PLAN EPISCOPAL AREAS Evangelist. Church Hereafter to Give Bishops Definite Territories. MILWAUKEE, October 15 (#).—The General Conference of the Evangelical Church, holding its thirteenth quad- rennial session in Milwaukee, voted yes- terday to create a number of definite epsicopal areas with a bishop in charge of each. Heretofore, bishoprics have had no definite boundaries. A com- mittee is to fix the limits of each area.

Rowell, C. 8, of Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Rowell is & member of the board of lectureship of the mother church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. He was introduced by Charles P. Rouse, first reader of Fourth Church, under whose auspices the lec- ture was given. The lecturer said, in art: “Christ Jesus was the ‘master Meta- physician.’ By metaphysics is meant BProoks-Co e full and exact knowledge of real belhg, which is not material, but spir- °| itual. Jesus taught his followers by precept and example to look away from the physical, the material, for both cause and effect. Jesus’ understanding of the supremacy of mind over matter, of good over evil, of truth over error, of the actual over what seemed to be, was proof of his Christliness, and the foundation on which he wrought his wondrous works. “Abiding in the consciousness of the allness of God, Jesus realized the pres- ence of abundance so clearly that with but a few loaves and fishes to begin with, he was enabled to feed the 5,000 and to have more left over when they had eaten than he had been told were available at the beginning. To the sick, ignorant of their God-given dominion, and suffering from fear of the power of evil, Jesus restored by mental means the normal, natural flesh to the withered hand, sight to the sightless eyes, hearing to the deaf ears, speech to the dumb lips, order to the supposedly chaotic brain, harmony and strength to the seemingly diseased, weak, and emacjated bodies. G- “Is it not plain that Jesus ‘resolved things into thoughts,’ and then, His understanding of the supremacy of spirit over matter, of good over evil, of the Divine over the human, changed the belief in lack to an improved belief in abundance; a belief in fear to one of confidence in God, good; a bellef in disease to one of health; a belief in sin to one of purity. This was evidence of progress—progress which was to continue until false belicfs were replac- ed by Divine ideas and Divine mind reigned in each individual consciousness in purity and perfection. “Is not this the adoration of God, spirit, the exaltation of His holy name and nature? Is this not the practical fulfilling of the commandment, ‘Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and I‘iit_hd;ll thy strength, and with all thy mind? » S Patrick Cooper, one of Scotland’s few remaining town criers, stopped an- nouncing in Oban streets recently to jump into the sea and save a boy from drownin; STREET BETWEEN OCTOBER? 15, 1930.° HEARST SEES EUROPE IN FRENCH WAR GRIP mwhudhmmmmmm.‘ “France Tikes to think she won Explains Why France Resents e America at Los Angeles Fete.
