Geneva, Aug. 31.—Not since the peace .conference of Varsailles have the people of the world shown such an rn terestydn an international gathering as in the fifth assembly of the league of nations which will open here tomorrow to take supreme world problems and the question how best to avert future wars. The vast interest is made evident by messages which arriving delegates and simple citizens are' bringing from scores of lands, including the United States. These messages are to the effect that the people every where want some thing real active. 'There seems to be a feeling prevalent here that a suitable atmosphere for fashioning some binding and effective project of accord among the nations* lias been created. Some of the delegates are of the opinion that the league of nation*; idea of constructive friendly co-operation between governments on in nfßwrmfi* rue ~Hm*f force in creating this atmosphere, and they emphasize the idea that the new era of collaboration which it is hoped will follow the successful Ixmdon agree ment will act as a powerful impulse to other and wider pacts calculated to as sure peace. . .Many delegates remarked today on what, is known as the “Geneva atmos phere. A modest worker in (lie league secretariat described it as an atmos phere where, (Chauvinism, oxoessive nationalism and loud clamors for state rights are in bad form and constitute a distinctly false note. It is believed here that the min isters of the state from virtua'ly every country in Europe will seek particular ly to provide for France and Belgium some security and guarantee that they will not again be invaded, and (hat they frill try to devise some means to induce by a general agreement the governments of all countries to reduce their arma ments, naval, land and aerial, and thus permit vast treasure to be devoted to projects of peaceful reconstruction.

Aviators Land Again on American Soil at Labrador On Board I T . S. S. Richmond, at Ice Tickle. Labrador, Aug. 31.—The Ameri can fliers. Lieuts. Lowell H. Smith and Eric Nelson, came over seas today from Greenland to Labrador, closing up an other long and perilous gap in their ’round the world flight. They com pleted the air jorney from the old world to the new. speeding across that dan gerous and icebound stretch of water from Ivigtut to Ice Tickle, a land-locked bay behind lofty ridges, two miles north of Indian harbor. With the American pilots were their mechanicians, Lieuts. John Harding, Jr., and Leslie P. Arnold, to whose unceas ing labors not a little of the success of the flight is due. Ships of tlie American navy have un ceasingly guarded this course across the strait for many days. Just five months and fourteen days af ter beginning their world-girdling tour the American fliers landed today in the waters of continental North America. They took the air at Ivigtut at 6:29 a. m., eastern time, and arrived at Ice Tickle at 1:18 a. m., eastern time. They completed the difficult crossing of the North Atlantic, beset with mishaps and delays in the early stages, covering the last stretch og 570 miles—next to the Iceland-Greenland flight the most diffi cult of the entire Atlantic journey—in six hours and 49 minutes. They flew iii a northwest wind which blew from 20 to 4ft miles an hour and speeded their machines at times as high as 125 miles an hour. Today the American army men brought to a successful termination the first aerial circumnavigation of the earth, ex cluding the North American continent. Theirs was the first westbound crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by airplane. The planes swept in from the ocean like huge gray gulls, and flying low over the broad evpanse of water, cir clet! until they dropped to their bright yellow buoys and floated lightly in the green water under the shelter of lofty ridges of rocks. This cove was chosen because of the comparatively safe land ing conditions it affords and for the ad ditional reason that it is situated on a MRS.

Eve kept, his promise until recently. “Why were you so foolish as to drink again?” asked Judge Vause. “I believe the fault is mine." spoke up Mrs. Eve. “Everything was all right until I got my hair bobbed. When he saw if he became so upset he started to drink. T wish you would, give him another chance." “Take my advice and don't concern yourself with personal affairs of wo men," vlpdge.. Eve. "No matter how yoo* or other man may feVTT you are not going to exert any control over the ladies on the matter of styles.” Judge Vause continued the probation. Accepts Position Here.

On shore near where the planes were moored were a group of newspaper men and camera men, who had lived on the destroyers here since August 2nd, a few fisherfolk and a detail of sailors from the Lawrence. The coming of the fliers was _ signalled to those at Ice Tickle by signal men from the Lawrence stationed on Rodney Mun dy hills close by and then to the wire less station several miles away. Off shore near YVhitecocakde Island was the Lawrence, acting as guard ship to the planes', after the aviators had been picked up through the coastal haze, the most ex treme among the outlying islands. The planes in their journey over the turbulent north Atlantic, strewn with ice and soattered with fog had passed over the Milwaukee, off southern Greenland, the Coghlan and the Charles Ausburn. which had been the patrol and was flash ed ahead each in turn, the passage of the planes overhead. " • After a brief halt to replenish their fuel, the aviators plan to continue 40 miles southward along the coast of Cart wright bay. a much larger and more shel tering anchoring place, where a base has been established for the next takeoff. From Cartwright bay only brief stops are contemplated at Hawk Bay and Pietou Harbor. N. S. Despite the desolate aspect of the Labrador coast, empty of people except for the few fishermen and traders, the fliers met with a warm welcome on re turning to the American mainland. When the planes appeared above the rocky islet outside the harbor, the Rich mond, belching black somke as a guide to the pilots, greeted them with ear splitting blasts of her siren. Rear Admiral MacGruder and Captain Coulton went ashore to welcome the men home. All four, wearied with physical strain of the journey and the suspense of long days since they left Kirkwall early in August, expressed keenest joy. They declared that their world journey virtually was ended. THE CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDNCY ARE Nil WASTING NOErnfflT John W. Davis on Way to Wheeling, W.

Against any “trifling with” the nat ural rights of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of labor, freedom of contract, freedom of the press, and free dom in matters of religious belief and practice. Against proposals to curb the power of the courts, to protect the weak against unwise and unjust laws.

President Sees Labor Leaders. Washington, Sept. I—President Cool idge’s principal political engagement to day was with a group of representatives of organized labor who arranged to call at the White Jlouse.to hear a Labor Day message from the Execuetivo.

I.—President Gool idge addressing a delegation of labor resentatives who called at the W hite House today, said that the government would continue a policy which he de clared had resulted in “American wage earners living better than at any other time in our history.” “If anything is to be done by the gov ernment for the people who toil for the cause of labor which *is the sum in all other causes;” the President said. It will be by continuing its efforts to provide healthful surroundings, education, reaes healthful surroundings, education, reas wages for fair work, stable business pros perity, and the encouragement of relig ious worship.” Reciting statistics which he said “show that the American wage earner en joys a buying power enormously greater than that of any other wage earner in the world.” Mr. Coolidge declared : “We do not need to import any for eign economic idea of any foreign gov- WHAT SMITTY’S WEATHER OAT 8 AYS # Partly cloudy tonight.

Senator Wheeler Speaks. Boston. Sept. 1. —Proclaiming the ar rival of a new political cleavage based on economic division, assailing by name his adversary candidates, and summoning the citizens of Massachusetts to what he de clared was the hereditary tradition of in novating in national affairs, Senator Wheeler, of Montana, on the Boston Commons today opened his campaign an Vice Presidential candiate on the La Fol lette ticket. Again and again he criticised Presi dent .Coolidge xvhom he termed the “mythically strong, courageous, silent, watchful man who occupies the Presi dential ehair.” and attacked Charles G. DawetJ, the Republican Vice Presidential nominee, for “his gallant service in war on organized labor,” while he referred to John W. Davis, Democratic candidate as “a man who would be willing it seems to cut-Coolidge Coolidge as a servant of Wall Street.” # For himself, Senater Wheeler said, he would welcome a classification as radic al, to help the revolt against “living un der the dictatorship of a small class that controls the financial resources of the country.” He asserted that the only issue of the day was that of returning the government to the representatives of the people, for, he added, the two old parties “in everything but name are now as alike as the Gold Dust twins.” in their subserviency to “control of a single dom inant power, centering in \Y r all Street. ’ For ammunition to support his at tack. the Montana Senator depended up on the record of the senatorial commit tee which investigated former Attorney General Daugherty, most of which was brought out by himself as prosecutor. | Corruption in government, which he said bad 4>een exposed, he treated as an inev itable result of “financial control.” Declaring that the republican and Democratic parties have long since ceas ed to “represent distinct lines of econom ic thought and interest” the candidate said “they have fallen under control of a single dominant power, which uses l them to further its own interests.” NO. 17.
