\ Service, Special Cable
i Paris. July 11.?Fears that Ger'
many will "come back" through a
i daring and impregnable position in
i aerial navigation have been ex;
pressed in both the French and English
press following the discovery by
allied commissioners of newly dej
velopcd powerful German^ planes
f built entirely of metal. Warnings
i have been sounded from time to
i time that Germany was preparing
f for a greater air supremacy through
: the perfection of these planes,
adaptable either to military or com
mercial uses, and official notice %Nas
1 taken in the chamber of deputies in
a speech by M. Flandrin, under secretary
for aeronautics. At the same
time the Excelsior, the French pictorial
daily, issued a full page of |
pictures showing the new designs j
complete, constructed of a light j
metal called duralumin.
Keep Treaty Term*.
In accordance with the Versailles
treaty Germany must not only surj
render all aerial military equipment
Ibut she must cease all production of
planes for military uses. M. Flandrin
explains that Germany had developed
these advanced models at
the signing of the armistice, but
that the delivery of them to the allied
governments along with other
war material was unsatisfactory.
"Work may have stopped on thes^
planes," M. Flandrin t-tated. "but
the actual progress of experimentation
on products and designs for
construction is ftll1. one of the greatest
activities among the scientific
men of Germany and especially in
the research laboratories of the unt-y
versltles.
"Germany hopes, without doubt,
to rebuild her ait fleet, and this
Beet will have the incontestable advantage
of being Cfmpf>sed of the
very best and most modern types
They will piobably baptize It th'
Commercial aerial fleet,' <>r *,ie
civil aerial fleet.' but when one
realizes the facility with which an
airplane of peace can be turned
Into an airplane of war. it is easy
to see at tha bottom of this project
only a menace and a warning for
the other nations of Europe.
All-Metal Planes.
Th? planes have been built after
designs by the German Professor
Jankers. In both monoplane and biplane
models. In the air they aPpear
more like birds than any other
type of machine. There is not a
strut or a wire support and the Interior
of the wings are re-enforced
by light metal tubing. In this
space is kept the tanks for oil and
fuel and replacement apparatus.
The monoplane propelled by a
160-horsepower engine reached a
height of 4.500 meters carrying a
load of six passengers. The same
plane with a 185-horsepower engine
carried eight passengers up 7.000
meters and its speed was 160 kilometers
per hour. Both in these biplane
and monoplane designs the
French and British experts say the
Germans are far In advance of the
other countries.
Followers of English aeronautics
lament the fact that development
of aviation has been arrested
since the armistice, and one writer
in the London Times describes the
new German metal planes In an attempt
to awaken interest of British
designers. The writer takes
the position that England should
hold no grievance against Germany
for aiming at aerial domination,
since commercial flying is the heritage
of all countries, but he warns
of the seriousness of continued apathy
and Indifference toward the
already advanced German designs.

campaign expenses to ua. was in
substance the message that reached
the McAdoo leaders at San Francisco.
They are taking back to their
fallen idol another message of less
comforting character. It purports
to give him the inside story of his
downfall at the convention. Mr.
McAdoo will be told that the Democratic
bosses beat hitn. He will be
Informed that on Friday. July 2,
following the first two ballots, there
| was a conference of Democratic
(state leaders opposed to the McAdoo
movement.
There participated in that conference,
according to Mr. McAdoo's
friends. Gavin McNab, the Pacific
Coast leader; Charley Murphy, the
Tammany boss; Tom Taggart. of
Indiana; George Brennan, of Illinois;
Wilbur Marsh, of Iowa, and
some others of lesser renown. It
was here and then decided that
the McAdoo rush must be stemmed
at all costs. The adjournment until
Saturday morning had been
[taken against the vociferous protest
of the McAdoo-ites. supported by
Palmer's friends.
"Error" Made by Chairman.
Mr. McAdoo is going to be told
that when Senator Robinson, of
Arkansas, the permanent chairman,
declared the aye and no vote on
the adjournment, to have been carried.
Robinson was in error The
McAdoo leaders affirm that on a roll
call the motion to adjourn would
have been decisively defeated had
balloting proceeded.
They are going to report to their
chieftain' he would have been put
over later in the night. They fixed
the tenth ballot as the outside limit,
and believe McAdoo's nomination
would have ensued sooner. The conference
of bosses, following adjournment,
settled McAdoo's fate. They
proceeded on the theory that Palmer
never was sriously in th rac at all.
and decided that eventually Cox
should receive the nomination by a (
combination of all the delegates they
jointly could swing to him at the
psychological moment.
Mr. McAdoo will also be given
some inside information on the role
played by Mitchell Palmer. He will
be assured that If the big delegation
of seventy-six votes, or such portion
of it as wp.s throughout loyal to
Palmer, had gone over to McAdoo at
once, immediately after the atorney
general had released his supporters
in the convention. McAdoo would
have shot ahead close to a clear majority
and the bandwagon clamberers
would have done the rest.
Expenditure to Be Shows.
The Pennsylvania delegation gave
Palmer a final complimentary vote
before splitting up. The aforementioned
tale of woe. whatever it*
actual merits, is the one that will
be spread before Mr. McAdoo within
a few hours as the official explanation
of his failure to secure the
Democratic standard bearershlp.
An interesting receipted bill will
be laid before him. It shows an
sxpenditure of JOS as the sum total
of outlay on his behalf at San
Francisco. His managers claim it ia
a record in convention expenses and
demonstrates by all question the
'unorganized" and wholly spontaneous
character of the McAdoo movement
at the convention. Assurances
*re given on Mr. McAdoo's behalf
that he will "get behind the Cox.

Former Army Officer, Who
Killed Spouse, Says She j
Is Calling Him.
Chicago, July 11. ? "The ragged
stranger" who was shot and Instantly
killed by Lieut. Carl Wanderer.
was Identified today as John
J. Maloney. His home was In Pontlacf
R. I. Identification was made
by employes of the John Robinson
Circus at Kansas City, after they
had been shown a photograph of the
"stranger." Maloney, they said, was
employed as a "train driver" early
this spring.
Yesterday, Miss Catherine Vanes,
a Chicago actress, claimed the slain
man was Al. Watson, a former Canadian
soldier and son of a wealthy
New York clubman. The authorities
tonight were convinced shu had
been mistaken.
According to a confession made
by Lieut. Carl Wanderer Friday lie j
employed a "ragged stranger" to;
stage a fake holdup to make it ap- ,
pear his wife had been slain in an '
exchange of shots. After he had
killed his wife, he shot the "stran- !
ger," but claimed it was accidental.
Saya He- Didn't Know Him.
"I didn't Intend to kill him." Wanderer
told the authorities. "He must
have gotten In the range of my
shots when I killed my wife. I
didn't know his name or anything
about him."
Wanderer was being closely j
guarded In his cell tonight. He
was willing to talk and showed no I
irritation at questioning.
"I feel fine." he said. "Fine. The
only thing was I kept dreaming.
I dreamed about her?Ruth?Just as
if she were back with me again
and nothing had happened. Ever
since that night I have been dreaming
about her.
"I thought when I was planniug
it all that when It was over I'd J
forget about It. But I didn't. 'Even
when I thought I had everything
covered up, so that the world would
think it had happened as I had
planned they would think ? even
then I couldn't forget.
Keeps Hearing Her Voire.
"Somehow the tone of Ruth's voice
when- she told me. 'Carl, I'm shot;
I think I'm dying." kept coming 0
back to me again and again. Memo- t
ries are strange things, aren't ?
they?
"I guess perhaps It was for the t
best that the police got me and l '
made me confess. I haven't got ! 1
much of an imagination ? rather 1
cold blooded. I guess?but there are '
some things?well, if I had my wish j r
I'd swing tonight.
The prayer of rry heart Is to fit 1
myself to m?et Ruth. I loved her 1
more than tnybedy else In tl>e
world.
"If I could only show voyu i" mo , <
' r.f the letters I wrote to her wh'ti '
l vai in Frtnce. or scnie of the ?
wonderful notes she sent me. no- *
body would doubt we were ir. lov<with

Calls upon the two Presidential
candidates for interpretation of the
party platforms by delegations from
the Federation of Federal Employes
is likely to result from the mealing
of the executive committee of the
federation which today will meet
here to discuss the planks dealing
with conditions of government employment.
The session will last
seven days.
The planks adopted at Chicago and
San Francisco are much alike in
that they recogniz# the right of collective
bargaining, condemn strikes
directed against the government
and commend a policy of equal and
just treatment under civil service.
Study of the two planks and party
records will be ma<le by the executive
committee, which includes representatives
from the seven geographical
districts.
