AVIATORS PLAN ANOTHER HOP ABOARD U. S. S. RICHMOND, Aug. 22.—Lieut. Smith and Lieut. Nelson, American round the world flyers who arrived at Fredrickdal Greenland, after an $25-mile jump from Reykjavik Iceland, will attempt the next leg of their flight within a day or two if weather conditions permit, according to radio information received on board to lay. Smith was the first flyer to reach Frederiksdal, landing at 6:10 o'clock Greenwich time. He finished his flight in a thick fog. At that time neither Nelson nor Lieut. Docatell, the Italian flyer, was in sight. The coastwise time of Smith's jump from Iceland was approximately ten hours. MAC LAREN CONGRATULATES VANCOUVER, B. C., Aug. 22.—"Lieut. Lowell Smith, American world flight, Greenland, via U. S. S. Richmond: "Many congratulations on your hop across from Iceland to Greenland. I hope you have good weather for hop from Greenland to Labrador. (Signed) "MAC LAREN." This is the message that was sent from Vancouver set night to Greenland by Major Stuart Mac-Laren, commander of the British round-the-world flight. The major believes the American airmen have completed the hardest part of their trip and now that their homeland is within striking distance, hopes they will end their expedition in a blaze of glory. He regretted he would be unable to stay on the Pacific coast long enough to join in their welcome on their return to the starting point, Seattle. ABOARD U. S. S. RICHMOND, Aug. 22. (By Radio to I. N. S.) —Having completed the longest Weather conditions were good. The next jump of the flight will take them to Labrador, the mainland of the North American continent. The American machine stood the long flight admirably. It was the most severe test they had stood, as the flight was several hundred miles more than the original plans called for. During part of the trip the Americans encountered cross winds which put a big strain upon the planes. LONDON, Aug. 22.—Lieut. Locatelli, Italian flier, who left Reykjavik, Iceland, with the United States Army round-the-world aviators, but who got separated from them enroute, has reached Frederiksdal, Greenland, according to word received by the Star today.

S.)—Having completed the longest and most perilous leg of their great world girdling flight, Lieut. Smith and Lieut Nelson were resting today at Frederiksdal, Greenland. They completed the 825-mile jump from Reykjavik, Iceland, shortly after 8 o'clock last night, taking more than 12 hours for the long hop across the northernmost fringe of the Atlantic Ocean. Smith arrived at Frederiksdal about 17 minutes ahead of Nelson. A dense fog had settled down when Smith landed at Frederiksdal. Nelson and Locatelli were not ing sight when Smith's plane settled on the water. Smith said they had become separated and that he did not know how far the others were behind him. Lieut. Locatelli, the Italian filer, who left Reykjavik with the Americans, got separated from them during the flight. During the early stages of the journey the Italian was in the lead. According to a radio report, Lieut. Nelson made a landing of a few minutes at Skerjafjord, 65 miles south of Reykjavik, but caught up with his colleague, Smith, after taking the air again. BURGLAR LOOTS ORANGE ELKS CLUB Six dollars and a box of cigars was stolen from the Elks clubrooms in Orange when a thief pried open the cash drawer and helped himself, then disappeared. The cigars were in a drawer under the cash till. The robbery was discovered when John McCarthy, the caretaker, opened the doors this morning, and found a piece of the broken drawer on the floor. It is supposed the thief secreted himself in a closet until everyone left the building, or used a pass key, as the dor showed no indications of being forced.

FIND DEEP OCEAN TOKIO, Aug 22 — The warship Manchu, returning from a sea survey, today reported the discovery of a depth off Japan's east coast of more than 9,800 meters, the greatest ocean depth ever reported in the world. It is believed by scientists to be the probable cause of Japan's great earthquake, and may cause others. BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCES TREGO MONTGOMERY You remember the chums were in the dirigible and Stubby was beginning to get seasick. He stuck ahead out the window to get some air. By this time they were so high in the air that the fields and forests looked like squares on a chequer-board and the broad rivers were mere silver threads across it. As for the churches and houses, they looked like card houses or toy paper villages. People he could see none; they were too small to be seen from this height. He became so interested looking that he forgot his seasickness, and he was very much surprised when they ran into a raincloud and he felt the rain drops on his face. But what surprised him most was to see lightning darting all around him and so near it seemed to go through the dirigible and come out the opposite side. As for the thunder, you people who have never been up in the clouds and heard it poor Billy went slipping head-foremost from one end of the saloon to the other, sometimes sitting on his tail, at others rolling over and over until he felt like a jellyfish. But still the storm continued, and he could not find a place of safety. As for Button, he had the best of it for when the balloon rolled or dove, he simply dug his claws further into the curtain pole and hung on for dear life. Once the dirigible sailed for hundreds of feet upside down. Button simply dug in deeper and hung upside down, too. The jerking of the dirigible knocked Stubby off the window seat and for many minutes he had been rolling from one end of the saloon to the other on one side of the table while Billy took the same journeys on the other side of the table only it was not hurting Stubby so much as it was Billy. He had curled himself into and houses, they looked like card houses or toy paper villages. People he could see none; they were too small to be seen from this height. He became so interested looking that he forgot his seasickness, and he was very much surprised when they ran into a raincloud and he felt the raindrops on his face. But what surprised him most was to see lightning darting all around him and so near it seemed to go through the dirigible and come out the opposite side. As for the thunder, you people who have never been up in the clouds and heard it close at hand have no idea of the terrific noise and of the terror it causes one. By this time the big dirigible was floundering in the storm-clouds as a ship does in a heavy sea, only ten times more so. A dirigible is lighter than a ship and the wind at this altitude much stronger. It would catch the balloon up and carry it for miles out of its course on one of its fierce currents. Then without warning it would suddenly die down and the big balloon would drop hundreds of feet only to be caught up by another blast and twirled around or carried up again as the case might me, while constantly the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled and our chums thought the very next gale would double them up and dash them to their death. While Stubby was at the window Billy was having his own troubles. He had tried to find a better place to hide than under the table and had come out to do so when an extra hard lurch of the balloon had sent him headlong the entire length of the dining saloon. He hit his head against the partition at one end of the room and then was flung back to the other end again. As the balloon was changing its count every minute, he could not regard his bearings. One minute the balloon would be standing almost perpendicularly, climbing to higher altitudes to try to get above the storm-clouds. The next a heavy gust of wind would drive it back, or the gale would die down altogether and the dirigible would drop into a pocket of the atmosphere, or, worse yet, would be twirled around and around like a ship in a whirlpool of water. (Tomorrow they get out of the storm and begin to enjoy their ride.) The dirigible was being tossed by the storm and the chums were not enjoying it very much. The jerking of the dirigible knocked Stubby off the window seat and for many minutes he had been rolling from one end of the saloon to the other on one side of the table while Billy took the same journeys on the other side of the table only it was not hurting Stubby so much as it was Billy. He had curled himself into a tight ball which made him roll easily. He looked like a ball of scraggly worsted. As for Billy, try as he would he could not curl up in a tight ball as his legs were too long and his horns much too sharp. "Oh, my, will this storm ever be over? Why did we ever let our curiosity get the better of us and entice us to try a ride in this dangerous thing? No more dirigibles for me if I live to get out of this one, which I am very much afraid I won't!" In less than five minutes from the time Billy thus spoke the dirigible had weathered the storm and was flying in clear blue sky a thousand feet above the still raging storm. They could still hear the thunder and see the vivid flashes of lightning. "Gee! What a place to see the moon and stars," thought Billy. "Now the danger seems to be over, I wish we would stay away up here until dark so I could see what the moon and the stars look like when we are so near them. If we got near enough the moon, I should like to jump off and make a visit there." Poor stupid Billy! He knew nothing of the thousands and thousands of miles between him and the moon, though it might look so very near. When the dirigible was sailing quietly along, a waiter came in and began setting the table. He did not see our friends, and went whistling about his task. What most aroused the chums' curiosity were the funny little fences he fastened on the table. Then when everything was ready, he sprinkled water on the tablecloth until it was quite wet. "What in the world is he wetting that perfectly clean cloth for? I should like to know that." mused Billy. "I'm just watch and see." (We will have until tomorrow to guess why the waiter did that.)
