'CLUNG TO BALLOON | FOR THIRTEEN HOURS | "Most Thrilling Flight Ever Undertaken." Says U Naval Secretary. Washington, Oct. 1.--Clinging tor | more than thirteen hours to the rigg- ing of a navy racing balloon, Lieut. Ralph Emerson and his aide, Lieut. | Frank Sloman, contestants in the! nautical balloon race which staregd | from North Birmingham, la., 1 Sept. 25th landed on the sOuthwest shore of Lake Erie the morning of Sept. 27th, placing their balloon third in the race. Rear-Admiral Coontz, Acting Sec- retary of the Navy, in making this announcement, said this landing end- | ed, undoubtedly, the most thrilling | flight ever undertaken by navy pil-| ots in a free balloon. Both lieuten-! ants are members of the United Sta- tes naval reserve force, At 5.15 p.m. on the 27th a landing was made in Spruce County, Indiana, At this place the pilot's basket was cut away and abandoned, due to loss of gas during thunderstorms, From this point on the pilots clung to the rigging above the concentration ring. Approaching Sandusky Bay large rainstorms cut off the approach to the Canadian toast, forcing the bal- loon to traverse Lake Erie length- wise, and with Insufficient ballast, Lieut. Emerson decided to land. This was done by ripping the balloon in| the air and the landing was made in | a haytield three miles east of Gray- town, Ohio. THE MINERS' STRIKE IS FURTHER PUT OFF In the Hope That Miners and Owners Can Reach an Agreement. London, Oct. 1.--A conference of miners' delegates which met to con- sider the new crisis which has arisen over the failure of the miners' repre- sentatives and owners to reach an agreement spent yesterday in debate without reaching a decision as to whether they should carry out their coal strike movement. Another meet- ing will be held and the general im-| pression is that the miners will ap-| proach Lloyd George again in con-| nection with the dispute with the owners and that there would be fur- ther suspension of the strike notices for one week to enable the holding of more meetings between the miners | and owners. Last Friday strike noti- | ces, which would have expired the] following day and caused a strike to begin on Monday, were suspended for a week. NURSES' SCHOLARSHIPS.

London, Oct. 1.--The fate of the Jews in Russia is anything but an enviable one, says an article in the current 'number of the Zionist Bulle- tin, According to the writer, ninety- eight per cent of the forced laborers in Kharkov are Jews, who are treat- ed brutally. The Gentiles about them are coming to regard them as a coolie caste, and they are shot at least as freely as other Russians for counter revolutionary activity. Before the war, the article ex- plains, about sixty-six per cent of the Jews in Russia were engaged in com- merce, and most of the remainder were artisans or factory workers. When the soviet government closed down private commerce as being tainted with capitalism, most of the Jews lost their livellhood. Most of the non-Jewish Russians who were likswise made destitute turned fo farm labor and have been able to scrape along, but Russian villagers, steeped in centuries of anti-Semitism, would not tolerate Jewish settlers among them. 'While the soviet ed actual pogroms, vernment barr- t has not insist- f uses, says the writer; eo when forced labor came in last March, a very large num ber of Jews were visibly '"unproduc- tive persons," aad ripe for i congcription, or for death if théy ob- jected.

SEVEN HUNDRED IN IRISH PLOT Sinn Feiners And Radicals Involved in the Explosion Scheme. London, Oct. 1.--Seven hundred Sinn Feiners and radicals were in- volved in the plot to destroy the Irish Office and Treasury Buildings in Whitehall, the Daily Express de- i clares. It is apparent that the exposure of ! this plot, which had apparently been inspired by the Wall street explosioy, in view of the method to be used, has worried the government. There is un- doubtedly a great deal of apprehen- sion in official circles, as to the after- math of MacSwiney"s case. On the oher hand, leading Irish- men scoff at the Scotland Yard dis- covery and attribute it to "nervous- ness." "The government has heavily in- creased the guards at Brixton pris- on," said Arthur O'Brien, president of the London Irish Self-Determina- tion League, 'The number now runs to five hundred, many of whom are plain clothes men, stationed in the neighborhood of the jail. "In its programme to crush the ex- pected outburst that may follow Mac- Swiney"s death, the government plans for a force of 5,000 extra guards, sta- tioned in all parts of London, maay of them in squads, ready for any em- ergency."
