EXCITING ADVENTURES IN STORM DURING NIGHT

EMERGENCY LANDINGS

Melbourne, Oct. 24.

Fighting storm through the night and finally forced to land within 160 miles of their destination, the Dutch airmen, K. D. Parmentier and J. J. Moll, finally reached the finishing mark of the great air marathon at 10.52 a.m. to-day. But until they left Albury aerodrome, James Malrose, aged 20, the where they were badly bogged on the soft field, the youngest competitor in the big air crowds which awaited them at Melbourne half expected.

Col. Turner, flying with Clyde Pangborne, made a final determined bid for second place. "Scarcely stop- ping long enough to take fuel, he rushed south from Darwin, to Charleville and then off to Melbourne. He left the last control station at Charleville before Parmentier could start from Albury, and for a time he was making up the distance between them at the rate of more than 200 miles an hour. He was only 600 miles behind when he started his last hop.

Turner arrived at Melbourne shortly after. 1 p.m. (Local Time).

The Japanse contention is that her position has been materially! weakened, und relatively weaken- ed also, since the Washington and London Treaties were signed. The United States appears to be con- testing the assertion.
