Hurry to Rescue of Craft = ' Friedrichshafen, Germany, May 18.--The theory of sabotage behind the cripplisg of the motors of the Graf Zeppelin was raised today by Director Oestrle of the Dornier airplane works. "Why should the same thing happen to two crankshafts?"" he asked. *I have been-with the mo- tors for years and can't conceive of such duplicate tragedies, No, there has bees dirty work some- where." This opinion was shared, in part at least, by others at the home port of thé Zeppelin, and there was great curiosity over what examina- tion might reveal. Cuers, France, May 17. -- The dirigible Grai Zeppelin was safe 1ast night in a hangar here, while the diminishing mistral with which she had been in perlous struggle all'day howled overhead. The crippled ship, only two of her five motors working, with oc- casional help . from a third, was drawn to.earth here, literally at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea and beside the only landing mast in France. The 18 passengers and members of the crew again set foot on the solid earth, above whicn they had tossed in uncertainty throughout the day. The landing was (2.35 p.m. ED.S.T.) More than 38% hours before, the dirigible had noseqd' into the air from Fried- richshafen and set her course for Lakehurst, N.J., but after 12 hours in the air Dr. Hugo Eckener, con- fronted with the loss of two mo- tors headed his ship back home from the Spanish coast. The battle to win passage up the Rhone Valley against the near gale from the northwest, failed, and Dr. Eckener decided on a at 8.35 p.m landing here. It was. nearly" dark when, the ship appeared. Within "half an hour the passengers, one by one, descended to the ground. Doctors Attend Landing The Mayor and most of the doc- tors of this village of 3,000 in- habitants were at the figld, but the passengers needed no medical aid. Some of them, said they had been rather. badly shaken up daor- ing the past few hours but no one was hurt. Dr. Hugo Eckener was the last to leave the car. . He. turned immediately to thank the French officials, who, with others all up the Rhone Valley, had stood | by tRyoughout the day to give him aid. Even the female gorilla 'Susi,' was brought out of her compart- ment. The animal seemed to uave suffered more than the human passengers. Cuers-Pierrefeu is the centre tor air defense for the fortified City of Toulon, one of the great French naval bases, and has an aviation schoool with hangars or both aero- planes and diigibles. The commasdast of the naval 'district, as soon as the distress of the Graf Zeppelin was apparent, ordered preparations for an emer- gency landing. Troops were rush-, ed to the field by motor trucks. Soldiers from the Valence Garrison where the high wind earlier frus- trated as attempted landing pur- sued the wind-blown bag' in mo- to trucks down the Rhone Valley. The French Government by radio offered Dr. Eckener his choice of landing places: but-called his attention to the exceptional facilities here.

"That's why," said 'Dr. McCarthy, "nature gave us removable teeth. Teeth that wear out and are lost are her method of removing us from the earth alter she's through with us.

We are wrong. "Nor is nature interested in the predominance of any race. Some day the black race may risé up to dominance. Nature is interested in striking an average--in a perfect physical specimen. In a thousand years she may achieve that, but in the meantime, insects may sweep over the earth and eradicate the hu- man race.

Me., May 7 18.-- Though definite word is lacking as vet, the 500 inhabitants of this pic- turesque ocean village are busy grooming the island of North Haven for, the wedding of: Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and Miss Anne Spencer Morrow, daughter of Amassador Dwight W. Morrow, which they confidently expect will be held at the Morrow summer home here in mid-June. Almost unanimous in their opinion that the Lone Eagle and his bride-to-be will pledge their vows in the simple yet beautiful two-storied white shingled home- .stead at Deacon Brown Point, nine miles from the village, the village folk and the caretakers of the es- tate are busy preparing the cstate for the most important event in its history. Under the direction of Hubert Grant, superintendent of the Mor- row estate, a 10-acre field, form- erly used as a sheep pasture, has been nearly completed as a land- ing field. The gently rolling hil- ocks have been smoothed off to make a long, narrow runway fac- ing the island-dotted Penobscot Bay to the northward. An aviator approaching the island would have to bring his 'plane close over the waters of the bay, just grazing the shore, to make a landing. The upward tilt of the {field would slow the 'plane down to a short run. In taking off the 'plane would be over the water as soon as it was away.

The memorandum, dated March 30, and made public here Saturday by the Commissioner for Australia in the United States, with offices at 256 Broadway, is devoted largely to statistics in supportt of its open- ing plea for a closer approximation of reciprocal trade between this country and the Commonwealth of Australia. This plea, however, ex- presses the concern that an already exjsting feeling against America's trade preponderance will grow to serious: proportions, The Australian Government points out that in 1927-28 the trade balance in favor of the Unit- ed' States amounted to $111,016,- 680. Statistics' are given to show that while this country's trade with Australia is steadily increas- ing Australia's trade with tne United States is declining rapidly. In the matter of fine Australian wool, for instance, which, it 1s asserted, does not - compete with America's domestic product, Aus- tralia's exports to the United States have so increased that "it might be claimed that the market- ing of Australian. merino in the United States would justify revival of conditions experienced in 1922, and that encouragement of traae to this extent would be to the best interests of American textile man- ufacturers." The note cncludes with an ex- pression of "full confidence" that the United States authorities will do all in their power to adjust the reciprocal trade balance and avoid Ontario Limi | Supe Motor Mechanics ; & None Others Need Apply To : Shortt ited tor Sales OSHAWA EEEEENRR further restrictions upon Auscrat- [1 jan exports to this coustry.
