IOT0RLESS AIRPLANE : CAPABLE OF CLIMBING : 20,000 FET PLANNED r ' (By Associated Press)

CLEVELAND. Sept. 20. A motor-

iless airplane, capable of climbing to an altitude n 20,000 feet, 1b forecast by Dr. George H. Madelung, designer of the successful Hanover glider, which, in a recent glider competition in the Rhone valley, broke all records by staying in the air for more than three hours. Dr. Madelung now is a member of the designing staff of a local airplane company. Describing the phenomenal development of the machine, in Germany, he explained its operation. The machine has a gliding angle of 16 to one, that is, in still air it glides 16 feet to every foot it descends. It

has a still air Epeed of 20 miles an hour. If the wind is 20 miles an hour, the glider remains stationary, and it more than that, it goes backwards, but if the air current is upward, the glider

ascend3. It is upon upward currents of air that the glider places main de

pendence for keeping aloft for more

than brief periods. Must Know Course In sailing for a considerable dls

tance the glider pilot must know approximately where ht will encounter

upward currents. Plowed fields and

other open spaces where the heat of the sum creates a considerable up current, are favorable places. It is for this reason that the charting of the air currents has become necessary for

the commercial development of the

glider.

When the places along a certain route where air currents may be en

countered become known, flights of

hundreds of miles and ascents of mor? than four miles may be accomplished,

Dr. Madelung said.

He pointed to the hawk and other

soaring birds as an illustration. The hawk will sail down to a field, whence

it will cycle in ascent, forced upward by the rising air caused by the reflected heat of the field. When it has

reached a sufficient altitude it soars

away, to repeat the process miles

away.

Peking Government Changes Announced;

Bearing is Important

(By Associated Press)

PEKING, Sept. 20. Certain changes

In the cabinet considered by the Pek

ing government sometime ago were

announced today and are believed to have an important bearing on the re

lations between the northern and

southern republics.

Sun Tan-Lin succeeds Tien Wen

Lien as minister of the Interior, Lo

Wen Kan succeeds Kao Ling-Wei as

minister of finance, and Shu Chien takes the place of Ching Yao-Cheng

as minister o'' education.

Shu Chifn formerly was minister of

justice of the Canton government.

In a recent statement Sun Yat Sen, deposed president of the southern gov ernment criticised the financial situa

tion in Peking and urged adoption of

a system of compulsory education.

It is not known whether the appointment of Shu Chien, formerly of the

Canton cabinet is meant as a move of reconciliation nor whether the new minister of finance was named for the purpose of placating Sun Yat Sen and south China.

BEADY FOR NON-STOP CONTINENT FLIGHT

(By Associated Press) SAN DIEGO, Calif.. Sept 20. Spare parts and equipment for the great monoplane which Lieuts. John A. McReady and Oakiey Kelley, of the military air service, plan to use in their non-stop flight from San Diego to New York -had arrived here today. Word was also received at Rockwell field

that the two aviators left Dayton. O., Monday and probably would arrive

here late tomorrow or early Friday to

make final plans for their proposed

dash across the continent.

The new 400-horsepower Liberty mo

tor to be installed in the plane has arrived.

Veteran flyers said that one of the

greatest problems faced by the two airmen would be to get the giant monoplane safely into the air after it was loaded to capacity with fuel and

oil. They declared the San Diego-New

York trip would be the longest non-1

stop flight ever attempted and that if it was successful it doubtless would establish a new world record for sus

tained time aloft, as it was not expected that the great Fokker plane could make the run in less than 32 hours. Extraordinary precautions will be taken, officers said. Following the installing of the new motor and equipment the monoplane will receive severe tests.

RUSSIAN PAPER GALLS U. S, DOG-IN-MANGER

(By Associated Press) MOSCOW, Sept. 20. The United States is accused of adopting a dog-in-the-manger attitude toward Russia by the newspaper Izvcstia in commenting upon the reaction ,of the American press to the Russian refusal to receive a commission of investigation

unless given a like privilege in the United States. Foreign Minister Tchitcherin's reply says the Izvestia, was designed to bring better relations between Russia and America and not intended as a diplomatic slap in the face, as it was interpreted by some of the American newspapers. The Izvestia takes the occasion to assert that the failure of the conference at Genoa and The Hague was due

partly to the -American attitude con-

It alleges that the

for the breakup of the Genoa meeting by spreading reports that property previously belonging to France and Belgium had been given to England. The United States is better acquainted with Russian affairs than any other government, says the newspaper. For this reason America should realize that the supposed negotiations on the basis of reciprocity would be useful to Sovietia as well as to the United

States, and that it was in this spirit that the note was sent. Consequently

it sees no occasion why the reply should be considered inimically by the American press.

was to vote for President Harding. Just what facts or reasons, may have led Mr. Hughes to his present Euro

pean policy is a subject too long for

discussion here.

All that this dispatch attempts is to state that for the present and for the indefinite future the American policy is to abstain from any "involvement" as Mr. Harding put it with the affairs

of Europe. Statement Vague.

It is true that on the occasion of

Mr. Cox's cabled suggestion that Hoov

er be sent to represent America on the reparations commission a vague comment came out of Washington to the effect that at some time or other in the indefinite future, God willing and

weather permitting, America would do something helpful about Europe. But

that statement was as vague in sub

stance as it was in form. The clear

fact is that as already stated our pres

ent policy is definitely one of "out of

Europe." Meantime, listen to the latest ad

venture of the Hon. Jim Reed of Mis

souri. One day last week while Reed

was on his feet on the senate floor in

the midst ot a speech lambasting I

somebody or other about something or other, a boy handed him a telegram from Missouri to the effect that the Democrats out there were holding a state convention and that they were going to adopt a platform indorsing Wilson and the league of nations and name a state chairman unfriendly to Reed. Deadlocks Committee Reed thereupon dashed for the first train for Missouri. He deadlocked the state committee for 18 hours on the selection of a state chairman and then put his man over. In the matter of a platform he routed wholly those who wanted to indorse the league oi nations and prevented any mention of that institution. Thereupon having put in 48 hours of good hard woik for America's an

cient isolation, and against those who

would entangle us with the dynasties of Europe, Reed took the next train back to Washington, where he is due tonight in time to vote and talk "like a giant refreshed" in favor of a bonus for the soldier boys. The complete

ness of this story requires it to be

said that in the eyes of many observers Reed is at this moment a candi

Officers aboard the American destroyer express the opinion that the 300,000 hysterical men, women and children who rushed to the quay when the fire was at its height, would have been burned alive if the wind had not abated. They also believe that the use of dynamite or even water would have checked the flames, but neither were at hand. Smyrna has no fire department

MALTA, Sept. 20. Various units of

the British Atlantic fleet are on their

way to join the naval forces in the

Dardanelles, but the authorities here are reticent as to details.

It is learned, however, that a second

destroyer flotilla composed of the most

modern vessels, has been ordered from England and that the light cruisers Caledon and Carysfort are due here shortly on their way to Constantinople.

Other ships of the Atlantic fleet ordered to reinforce the Mediterranean fleet are the light cruisers Curacoa and Ceres, and the aircraft carrier Argus. The destroyer Seraph left here yesterday for Constantinople.

MELBOURNE, Sept. 20. The federal cabinet has endorsed the action of Premier Hughes of the Australiancommonwealth in offering to send troops to the Gallipoli peninsula. Mr. Hughes in a speech in the house of representatives said that while he desired to associate tfre commonwealth with the maintenance of the freedom of the Dardanelles and the neutral zones in that region, he did not desire to go beyond that or to par
