Unfavorable Weather Re*
ports Over Siberia
Cause Day’s Delay
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN. Germany.
Aug, 13.—yF>—Dr. Hugo Ecketier,
after a “cabinet meeting” with his
chief officers today decided to post
pone the start i the Graf Zeppelin
for Tokyo on the second lap of its
round the world flight until the
early morning hours of Thursday.
Weather reports received during
the night indicated a low pressure
area over Siberia moving eastward
more rapidly than had appeared
yesterday. With a day's delay there
was still hope Dr. Eckener might be
able to choose the great circle route
west of the Bohemian mountains to
Koenigsberg into Russia. Even
should this hope be disappointed,
and he must, as yesterday seemed
inevitable, choose a route along the
Danube, the Zeppelin officers are
convinced another days rail will
prove advantageous.
According ‘o Car tain Von Schil
ler. pilot, the Russian government
is leaving no stone unturned to sup
ply the most adequate weather ser
vice possible in view of the rather
scant number of stations along the
route.
