W Aviation 1 MYSTERY FIRES HELD CLEW TO AMUNDSEN FATE Blaze Seen on Island by Seamen; Others Think It Italia Pyre. BY OLE CAVLING United Press Staff Correspondent COPENHAGEN, Sept. 3.—Mysterious fires seen on Edge Island, off Gpitzbergen, a fortnight ago, were believed by meteorologists today to tell the last story of either the seaplane of Roald Amundsen or the envelope of the dirigible Italia. A hunting vessel reported seeing the fire and officials were divided r.s to whether the fires were caused by the burning of the dirigible or the Latham seaplane. Already parts of the seaplane, in which Amundsen and five companions started on a rescue mission to the Italia, have been found and i iken back to Tromsoe. Two pontoons, rusted after long hours in the northern waters, were picked up. From Amundsen Ship They were metal blue, just as were the pontoons of the Latham plane, and comparison with pictures of that craft prove without doubt that the pontoons were from Amundsen’s ship. Then Sunday the captain of the vessel Hissoe arrived at Tromsoe ",nd reported another hunting vessel, the Jopetter of Kings Bay, saw a fire off Stone foreland, Edge Island, a fortnight ago. The crew also saw the fire. Efforts were made to reach the sland, but ice prevented. There were no other hunting vessels in the vicinity and these men believed without doubt that the fire was from the envelope of the Italia, which carried six men away after the big dirigible crashed May 30. Meteorologists in Tromsoe, however, believed that the fire might have been from Amundsen’s plane. They pointed out that the Latham plane could have been in the vicinity of the island when it was forced down Flane Forced Down • Finding of the pontoons indicated the plane was forced down some place between Tromsoe—from where it left June 18—and Bear Island. Theer were new pieces of wood on the pontoons, as though repairs had been attempted. The famous Norwegian explorer, Adolph Hoel, said today he believed the Latham plane had developed motor trouble near Bear Island and that Rene Guilbaud, the pilot, had headed back for Norway. Near the coast, in Hoel’s opinion, the motor stopped. Hoel believed that the plane dived into the water and sank before the radio operator could give a warning or that the six men in the craft were killed.

HE COULDN’T SLEEP, STOMACH HURT SO Back ached for years. Finally found relief. Perfectly well now. Friends of Mr. Henry Remillard, 294 No. Dearborn St., Bradley, 111., were recently surprised by his sudden return to good health. He explains it as follows: “For many years, I had chronic indigestion, and for the last six months, I never knew what it was to have a good night’s sleep, my stomach hurt so. I had gas and bilious attacks whenever I tried to eat, and my heart palpitated so I could hardly breathe. My kidneys were weak, and I had terrible headaches and pains in my back. I was constipated, felt tired and worn-out all the time, and was absolutely discouraged. But anew hope came to me the day I started taking Viuna. It promptly gave me the help I needed, and today I can hardly realize that I was ever so sick. My stomach never gives me a moment of trouble, and sound sleep is surely a blessed relief. The gas pains, biliousness and shortness of breath are all gone. I am rid of the headaches and back-ache, and feeling splendid in every way. I owe my health to Viuna and can never hope to praise it enough.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you're not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. VIUNA The Wonder. Medicine.

NO-STOP HOP TO PEKINSTARTED Germans Hope to Hang Up Endurance Mark. Bu United Press DESSAU, Sept. 3.—-Two German fliers, holders of the world’s endurance flight marks, today were winging their way on a record flight from Dessau to Peking. The Germans are Johann Risticz and Hans Zimmerman, who recently established an endurance flight record of 65 hours. They hoped to make the flight to Pekin without stop, going by way of Vlodivostok and Tokio. In the same Junkers plane, similar to the Bremen in which Baron Gunther von Huenefeld recently flew from Ireland to Labrador, they used in their recent record-breaking performance, the two started yesterday. The take-off was made easily, the heavily fueled craft roaring down the runway and lifting lightly after a long run. Both pilots were confident they would be able to make the nonstop Pekin flight. Their plane was fueled with the same amount of gasoline as was used in their 65hour endurance record.

Aviation FLIERS BALKED IN ATTEMPT AT ATLANTIC DASH Frenchmen Unable to Get Plane Off Ground for Flight. Bu United rress LE BOURGET FIELD, France, Sept. 3.—Another attempt to start on a trans-Atlantic flight failed today, when the monoplane of Jean Assolant and Rene Lefevre failed to rise after a long run down the field. The plane lifted only a few inches off the ground and the aviators temporarily had to abandon he flight attempt. They had visited the meteorological office early this morning and were advised that the weather was good for the flight. They were happy and smiling and immediately went to the field, w’here they stored provisions in the plane. The motors were warmed for half an hour and then the unsuccessful start was made. Tire plane carried 4,300 liters of gasoline and 350 liters of oil and it was considered likely the craft was overloaded for the take-ok.
