Maitland, Official Observer Mineola, N. Y., July 6.—Not in the | mere record of miles covered is to be | found the real romance of the R-34's aerial voyage to America.” The full story of this great adventure, this samble against the elements, is reveal. ed only through the human incidents of the trip, chronicled in the form of a | log by Brigadier General Edward M. Maitland, official observer for the British air ministry. This story—a Juies Verne tale come true—was written while the giant dir gible was leaving the ground at East! Fortune, while it was passing out of | sight of land, while it was battling its way across the Atlantic and eluding electrical storms in the ;northland, while it was slipping safely down the shore line of Long Island to its an- chorage at Mineola. It is an intensely human story. set down in simple, unaffected style. B it is doubtful if the greatest master English could paint a more ture. In it is described the feelings of men starting on a great adventure—cheer- fully confident in the face of a hun- dred dangers. 1In it is described the courage of red blooded men fighting their way through an ocean of cloud and fog. In it is described the reso- i lute daring of men calculating coolly | just how much fuel, already greatly i shortened, they could expend in dodsz- | ing tempests which might dash them to-destruction. In it is described the fighting spirit of aerial adventurers combatting to the last a situation which might force them to call for as- | sistance. But nothing is to be found in the log of the great joy which must | have surged up in every man’s heart when they dropped anchor victoriously —safe at the end of a 3,600 mile voy- age. “When flying at night there is al- ways a feeling of loneliness on leaving the ground,” reads an entry made after | the airship hardly had taken the air, but it 4s followed almost immediately by a description of the first breakfast in the air, which reads: “In the adjoining compar i graphophone was_ entertaining crews with the latest jazz tunes. Then comes an account of sleeping ! in hammocks aboard a service airship, with a word of caution for the unwary sleeper: “There is only a thin outer cover of fabric on the underside of the keel on | each side of the walking way and the luckless individual who tips out of his | hammock would 1 all probability break right through this and soon find himself in the Atlantic.

" Distances covered were as follows: East Fortune to Trinity New- foundland, 2,050 sea miles; Trinity bay, { Newfoundland, to New York, 1,108 sea miles. The sfory of the flight as entered in the log follows in part: “1.42 a. m.

P.) Riots against the high cost of liv- presented to;ing in central Italy have resulted in prices, according to reports received here from the many places where disorders have occurred. Tn nearly all the cities affected the mobs have become organizations rec- ognized in a measure by the authori- ties with whom they have often work- ed in accord in the common struggle specula- crowds “starvers of people.” ¥ Representatives of these organiza- tions, termed ‘“chambers of labor,” may be seen hurrying along the straight, flat, dusty, Emilia road which runs from Ancona to Bologna through the affected Romagna district. These representatives are distinguishable by the red or black ties and red or black arm bands, according to whether they are - republicans or = socialists. They rush from town to town and from village to vilage bearing orders and giving instructions for carriages, carts and automobiles to be used for the transportation of food and other goods. “ Many of those wilo attempted ta re- sist their orders have been badly treated. ~ Through these energetic measures, the ‘“chambers of labor” have succeeded in gaining control of much of the region. HIGH COST OF LIVING RIOTS RENEWED IN ITALY Florence, Italy, Saturday, July 5 (By the A.

Mobs again have be- shops has been resumed. All workers are idle under a general strike order. During the day goods of all kind have been distributed to people under the supervision of the mayor and the military command. The distribution was conducted at each store separate- ly.. Large crowds congregated at each ! place so as to be sure to receive the benefits of the new prices decreed at 10 o'clock this morning by the mayor. All commodities have been reduced from 50_to 70 per cent. Lack of organization in opening the various shops where goods were requi- sitioned resulted in crowds gathering at many points in the city where there seemed to be a chance to obtain food. The plan followed was for the may- or's commission to open the store, sell everything in it at the new prices, then close it and open another store. The crowds following from store to store caused great confusion. i - " ly conduéted ere no_violence. SAYS LEAGUE OF NATIONS 1S MENAGING AND SINISTER Chancellor John G.
