(By Tlie Associated Press.)
Miaeok, N. Y July 6. -Great
Britain's super-dirigible R-31, the first
lighter than air machine to cross the
Atlantic Ocean, anchored here at
Roosevelt flying field at 9:43 a. m. to
day (1:54 Greenwich mean time) after
aa aerial voyage, "of 108 hours and 12
minutes which covered 3,330 knots or
approximately 3,600 land miles.
Passing through dense hanks of
cloud, with the sun and sea visible only
at rare intervals, th was forced
to r ruise 2,050 knots to reach Trinity
Hay, N. V., from East Fortune, K-ot-land,
and 1,080 knots from there to
Mineola.
When tho supsr-Zeppclin arrived
here she had loft only enough petrol to
keep her moving ninety minutes longer.

' Haggard, unshaven, their eyes bjood

A.H8Cwtt, UtBUir aaw his

the anxious hours through which they
lived yesterday while they were cruiS'
ing over the far reaches of Canada aud
the Bay of Fundy, beset by fog, heavy
winds and tertifle, electrical storms.
- Saw Many "Atmospheric Devlle."
"It seemed as though the atmosphere
was haunted by 5,000 devils," said
Lieut. Guy Harris, the meterologieal
- officer.
With the B-34 long overdue at Its
' destination, petrol supply running low
and buffeted by strong head winds,
Major Scott decided yesterday while
over the Bay of Fundy to send a wire
less call to the American Navy Depart
. ment to be prepared to give assistance
if It were needed.
' This was merely a measure of pre
caution and did not indicate discour
agement. While destroyers and sub
marine chasers were racing to her as
sistance, tho R-34 was plugging steadily
ahead on the way to Mineola. Once
dear of the Bay of Fundy tho atmoa
Vphertc .hoo-doo which had besot the
tCTSft from the time it took the air was
: gradually left in its wake.
r - The R-31 headed southwest out across
" the Atlantic along the coast of Maine,
.v her nose pointed for Cape Cod, with
the United Stntcs destroyer Bancroft
hanging on her . tail and in constant
wireless communication with her. The
destroyer stuck rlose in the wake of
the air monster, running under forced
t draft, until Cape Cod was reached and
then the dirigible, rut across lots.

along the coast that unless a favoring
r wind eamo up the R-34 would be forced
to land at Montauk Point and early this
V morning a .wireless message was sent
out making that announcement.
With the enpo left behind, however,
j . fortune finally favored the dirigible
. and the wind veered to her favor.
Headed straight for Montauk Point,
the ran true and before the tip end of
' Long Island was reached it was decided
, t go on to Mineola. With the goal
almost ia sight, the R-34 flew majeati
, eally above the island and headrd
straight down the center of it for Roose-
velt Field, 100 miles away.

As she cruised over Riverhead the
dirigible eame within range of the wire-

Field by the Navy Radio service and
perfect comma nication was established.
4 During tha night the wireless calls from
the R-34 "were received by the Navy
Badio station in New York.

Over tha wireless telephone it was
explained to Major Scott that a large
part of the erew assembled to assist
him in landing had Dean sent to aion

and that consequently preparations for

Washington, July 6. The new treaty

Council of Five So Concludes
After Considering Com
munistic Conditions
(By The Associated Tress.)
Paris, Saturday, July 5. The Council
of Five reached the conclnsioa at a meet
ing this afternoon that it ia impossible
to VmAe fear wltH Bela Hun's govern
ment in Hungary, according to tne
Havas Agency. Maintenance of the
blockade, it was said, still is necessary,
although its effects have not been felt
by the Hungarian revolutionary govern
ment, as it is appropriating foodstuffs
for itself and its friends.
Recent events at Budapest have indi
cated that the affairs of the Soviet gov
ernment t'lero are on the verge of a
crisis. Fifty youths from the military
academy and three officers were exe
cuted by the Soviet goversment last
Wednesday after Bela Kun, head of the
Communist government, issued a proc
lamation that blood shall bow hence
forth, if necessary, to insure the pro
tection of the proletariat." The execu
tions followed an attempt bv anti-
Communists to seize the telegraph and
telephone stations and bombard govern
ment headquarters with three monitors
n the Danube.
Bela Knn, in an interview with The
Associated Press corrcwndcnt in Buds
l'est June 2.1, declared "the ; Hied policy
toward Hungary should bo one of non
interference in our internal nffaim and
the allies also should raise the - jck
ade." The Hungarian Soviet chief reiterated
his faith in coiuiniiiiiBiu. Asked if the
Hungarians wanted communism, he
said :
"The majority is passive, but the mi
nority is active. Any way, it is impos
sible for us to work under capitalism
even with the latter passive.

Fortune on Fight
Toledo, Ohio, July 6. Because of the
controversy er the durativa of the
heavyweight championship contest be
tween Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey
aad whether Dempsey should be
credited with a knockout Ollie lVrord,
referee of the Independence Iay
match, ruled tonight thit Willard had
been knocked out in the third round.
Referee Pecord also ruled that the
fight ended at the close of the third
roand, despite the fart that the towel
waa not tossed into the ring from Wil
lard't corner until the bell had sounded
for the fourth round. Willard, how
ever, did not leavo hia rhair to answer
tha call for the fourth round. Tex
Kickard, promoter of the contest re
quested an official ruling from Pecord
because of the hundreds of telegrams
he received asking if Dempsey should
be credited with a knockout victory
and when the bout was officially ended.
Chkac Maa Won S82.M0.
C. B. Khyslcr, of Chicago, who
operated pari mutucl machines and a
book on the contest announced he had
cleared 182,700. He said that if the
contest had ended in the first round his
winnings would have totalled t!26.H22
!ml if Willnr.l had knit
for the fourth round, they would have
been reduced to $23,000.
Willard Practically Recovered.
Willard waa disturbed tonight by
' rumors that he waa dying, that he had
beea removed to a hospital and that
he was dead. The iefeatrd champion
hat entirely recovered from the effectt
of the punithment Dempsey gave him
and has decided to motor to his home
in Lawrence, Kas., as toon as hia in
jured eye ia healed. Mrs. Willard and
a few personal friends will make the
trio with him.

Bickar! announced that both the
boxers were paid in full last night.
Dempsey waa given 27,500 in rash,
while Willard got SAO.000 in Liberty
bonds, and the remaining $20,000 of hia
$100,000 guarantee in cash.
Houvenir hunters startad to tear

I that she will reject the picture. The

Mr. Hague declared that "siKh hum in

our boys and girN may see it.'
He stated that m the film had been
rejected persons or firrni showing the
picture in Ohio would lie prosecuted,
liable to tines from $U)0 to $.100 and a

Thouah it annears almost certain that

This is possible Ix-cause the Mayor of
