WORLD BIRDMEN, IN PARIS, ANXIOUS TO IKE START Commander of U, S, Fliers Says Trip Will Be Over Before Sept, 1. By United Press PARIS, July 15. —“We’ll he In Los Angeles long before Sept. 1," Lieut. Lowell Smith, commander of the American world fliers, said today in an interview with the United Press, as he and his birdmen companions stretched their legs aground for one of the busiest days of rest on record. The aviators attended a reception In their honor tendered by Minister of Aviation Eynao; they met and hobnobbed for a while witLi their chief. General Pershing; they placed a upon the tomb of the unknown soldier, and they wrote their names in the famous "book of gold’’ at the Hotel Deville. Thoughts on Flight All the time, tt was plain to see, their thoughts were on the flight. “We are nineteen days behind schedule," Lieutenant Smith said, speculatively. “Os course,” he added quickly, "we are not racing against time, but just to show the world that the world can be flown. “And we’ve almost done it.” The modest, soft spoken Americin commander said he and his companions were looking forward to two weeks qf real rest in London, while their planes are fitted with pontoons for the Atlantic trip. Then there will he no halting until they reach the Pacific coast of the United States. * Paris continued to honors upon the airmen. The French government will dine the fliers tonight. Someone advised the Americans to spend a few more days In Paris to “rest up.” “Nothing doing," retorted lieutenant Smith brusquely. “We fire going right on to London to get organized for that Atlantic flight.” “I don’t think Iceland will bother us," he said a moment later In reply to a question. Hardest Part Behind Loath to speak of the hardships and adventures of their sky voyage, the Army airmen admitted the hardest part of their trij was behind them. \ “It was toughest getting through from Alaska to Japan,/ Lieutenant Smith said. “The rest is comparatively easy.” "Comparatively Is right,” broke in a French aviation officer who stood with Lieutenant Smith. "Did you see our D'Oisy or the Britisher, MacLaren?” “We passed MacLaren, but didn't see him, although I understand he saw us,” Lieutenant Smith replied. The British flier Is just now entering the dangerous passage of the northern Pacific which the Ameri cans declared the most difficult part of the world flight.

STOP UNLIKELY HERE Route Across Continent May Be Changed at Hast Minute. By Times Special WASHINGTON, July 15.—Indianapolis is unlikely to have the honor of welcoming the American .world fliers on their final dash from Washington to Santa Monica, Cal., next month, it was stated at the War Department today. While official seleclon of the route West may not be made until the fliers arrive in Washington, objection <s made to a stop at Indianapolis on the ground that the landing field there is not a particularly good one. During the late stages of the round-the-world flight no chances will be taken on any but the best landing fields. Major General Patrick, chief of the Army air service, will make the final selection of the route. His choice may depend on the position of the British world flier. The Americans hope to complete the flight first. And in order to beat the British flier, should the latter make great headway during the next few weeks, it might be necessary for the Americans to show a final dash of speed across the continent. After the fliers have completed their epochal trip to the Pacific Coast it may be arranged for them to make a leisurely return jaunt to Washington, visiting such cities as

wish to entertain them. Then Indianapolis might get its opportunity. MacLaren Fog-Bound By United Press TOKIO, July 15.—Major Stuart MacLaren.
