FLIERS AMAZING ESCAPE
Scattle, May 30. Nat Brown, the Tokyo nonstop flight aspirant, had a miraculous escape from death to-day, when he resumed his attempted 5,000 mile hop. Forced to take to a parachute from a blazing machine, he fell into the sea, but was re- scued.
The mishap occurred shortly after Brown had taken off on his second attempt to blaze the non- stop trail from east to west across the Pacific, the machine suddenly bursting into flames and crashing| into Elliott Bay.
Although it was thought impro- hable that Brown and his analetant could have escaped with their lives, fast craft of all descriptions raced to the scene of the disaster! and picked both men up, senreely affected by the affair.

LONDON, MAY 31. R BRUENING'S BREACH WITH PRESIDENT HINDENBURG, LEADING TO THE RESIGNA- TION OF THE GERMAN CHANCELLOR AND HIS CABINET, HAS CAUSED A PROFOUND SHOCK IN EUROPE, PARTICULARLY IN BRITAIN, WHERE IT IS FELT THAT MR. RAMSAY MACDONALD'S HOPES OF AN ECONOMIC UNDERSTANDING, AS WELL AS A WAR DEBTS AND REPARATIONS; AGREEMENT, HAVE BEEN DASHED TO THE GROUND.
No attempt is now being made to hide the fact that | the Prime Minister's purpose in pressing for an exten- sion of the scope of the Lausanne Conference was to bring the United States to the conference table at the cleventh hour. America has repeatedly refused to par- ticipate and a fresh statement to this effect was issued by the State Department to-day consequent upon Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's Daily Mail interview.
But for the crisis in Germany, however, further efforts might have been made to induce Washington to change its mind. the applecart completely, however, and it is now suggest- ed that the agenda at Lausanne should be restricted rather than extended-other subjects being left until the political situation is more stable.
