GAUTON DELAYS TESTSOF ARON Crews Being Thoroughly Drilled for Trial Flights. Special Dispatch to The Star. AKRON, Ohio, September 12.—The first test flights of the world's lardest airship, the U. S. S. Akron, designed and built her for the United States Navy, have been delayed considerably beyond the period in which it was hoped that this giant lighter-than-air craft would be in the air. Both the Navy officers who have been assigned to command the Akron and her builders, the Good- year Zeppelin Co., tried from the out- set to make no promises regarding a definite date for the first flight. Never- theless, the idea has become 'fixed that there have been unexpected delays, and from this erroneous conception nhas come rumors that the craft is not air- worthv and that it will never fly. A Visit to the airship dock here where the Akron was constructed feils to re- veal hew such rumors and reports could have developed, or what their original foundation could have been. One enters the dock and finds two | classes of min swarming over the great structure, the civilian builders and the Navy officers and enlisted men, busy at work putting the finishing touches to the craft with utmost optimism and faith in what has been done. Weight Exceeds Estimates. ‘The airship is admittedly overweight. But it is recalled that the first admis- sion of this fact came from the build- ers themselves. It is probably the most common occurrence in the construc- tion of new types of craft designed to go up into the sky. Designers' esii- mates on weights are notoriously opti- mistic. And also there always i a tendency to build more accessories into | a pew craft than were originally planned. | The report that the Akron will be | 15,000 to 20,000 pounds overweight has | been seized upon by the circulators of rumors as preof that the airship can never get into the air, whereas th: truth of the matter is that if this ex- cess weight is retained, 1t means that instead of being able to fly for eight days without landing and refueling the Akron can only fly for six and a half days without stopping. Dock tests on the Akron are proceed- ing normally and satisfactorily. Re- cently it became apparent that these tests could not be completed by the end of the first week in September, a date tentatively set some time pi viously. “7 said P. W.

With that program com- pleted, the ship will be submitted to the Navy for final inspection. She will | be ready for flight tests when the final inspection is completed and ccrrections and adjustments made as required by the Navy. The amount of this work cannot be foreseen, but a few days' time must be allowed for contingencies developed by final inspection.” THREE DIE IN CRASH Truck Hit by Limited on Kentucky Grade Crossing.

NEW YORK, September 12.—Condi- tions in Europe are “so bad,” William Randolph Hearst said tonight, that ‘our own depression in comparison seems like only a small dent in the smooth surface of prosperity.” In a radio address the publisher said: “The essential and vitally important difference between conditions abroad and here at home is that our nation is sound and solvent, while in Europe not only is there much more Indh‘\du‘al impoverishment, nations are on the brink of bankru g | Although he traveled in many Euro- pean countries, he said, he stayed out of France by “what may politely oe termed mutual con<ent.” Last year he | was expelied from France as a sequel (0 the publication in his papers of a mem- orandum on the so-called Anglo-French secret naval pact. Hits French Greed. Criticizing what he called “the op- pressive and usurious practices of | France,” Mr. Hearst sald: “Such is her insatiable greediness that in the eyes of Europe the game cock has} ceased to be the emblem of the French nation and has been superseded by the comorant.” “There is one outstanding lesson in the European situation for America,” said Mr. Hearst, “and that is: Keep out of European conflicts and compli- cations. “We all know the desperate condi- tion Germany is in because of the overheavy burdens imposed by the Ver- seilles treaty; and recent revelations have shown that England, once the in serious straits. “We Americans would all like to see these nations ccme out of their finan- cial difficulties and soclal complica- tions. “My personal opinion, however, is that in England the present coalition government is not going to get the country out cf its troubles.
