DC 1 Zeppelin Flying Fast Over Texas, Increasing Speed Passes Over El Paso, Heads Into Mexico, and Then Turns to Northeast Traveler Finds Hospitality at Ends of World Back in Wilds, Says Wanderer for 27 Years, Friendli ness Prevails New York Armando Arafelian, a man without a country since his native city of Baku in Azerbaijan, on the Caspian Sea, was absorbed by the Soviets, and who has been travel ing almost constantly for 27 years, visiting 61 countries, but never in any one long enough to become a citizen, has arrived here from his most recent journey into the interior of Colombia, Central America and Mexico. "Back off the beaten track," said Mr. Arafelian, "there prevails an al most uniform hospitality. Even be hind the Andes, far back in the in terior of Colombia, at the borders of Venezuela and Brazil, where money is not of the slightest use, since there is nothing for which to spend it, it was a notable exception when a self-appointed host did not offer to give up his own bed for a night, or a week, in favor of his guest." Nor are such receptions confined to any one continent or place, he added. In Africa and . Australia, in China and Russia, it was often the same when once the traveled roads were left behind. As a proof of this hospitality around the world, Mr. Arafelian showed two thick books of signatures and statements from presidents, governors, and mayors in many countries, as well as those of his m'merous hosts and acquaint ances of the road. On a page all by itself was the signature of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. The, interior of Colombia provided many an interesting experience, Mr. Arafelian said. He described an en counter with Indians who were nearly white, while the presence of other natives with distinctly Mon golian features leads him to believe that South America and Asia were once connected by land. After visiting his sister in New York, Mr. Arafelian said, he will return to Austin, Tex., to repossess the horse which bore him so faith fully through the jungles, and across the mountains of Central and South America in hia year-long journey from Caracas, Venezuela, to Texas, a horseback journey, incidentally, which" he declared had been made by a .white man but once before. "It Is perhaps not a pretty animal,"' he said, proudly exhibiting a photo graph of his horse. "He would per haps not look well to ride through your Central Park; but never was there a more stout-hearted mount. Often when we plowed through swamps or across mountains neither of us would eat or drink for a day. Yet he never faltered." Home From Funeral. Mr. and Mrs. Will Wehrbein re turned this week from Enid, Okla., where they were in attendance at the funeral of the late Mrs. Eliza beth Saxton, mother of Mr. Wehr bein. A full account of her life and the funeral will arrnear in the Journal of next Monday. . Vftnr Off in TvniTifll will ri www m ' tUU m v . -. - - - read, and they sure do get results. HOOVER POLICY FAV0EED Washington, Aug. 23. Sentiment in favor of President Hoover's policy of naval reduction is being expressed in letters on the subject received at the white house ' and the state de partment. The letters include many from in dividuals, various societies for the advancement of peace, school teach ers and university professors and come from all parts of the country. Some 1,500 communications, approx imately 96 per cent of which have endorsed the presidents policy, have been received. By far the greatest number of letters have been received from the eastern states. The middle west is second in its Interest in the ques tion. Philadelphia and Boston have provided the largest nuriber among the large cities. Riding high and fast over Texas, the dirigible Graf Zeppelin, bound for Iakehurst, N. J., on the last stretch of its globe girdling flight Tuesday night apparently was mak ing a bee line for Cleveland, where it was expected to visit the nation al air races Wednesday noon. The Graf floated over El Paso, Tex., for 13 minutes late Tuesday afternoon, dipped southeast over Mexico, and then headed for Fort Worth. Dr. Hugo Kekener, commander, f.ent a radio message that he would pays over Fort Worth and then head for Little Rock. Early reports indicated the diri gible hr.d greatly increased its ;peed, and that it was traveling to the north of Fort Worth, fcuch a course would lad the Zeppelin to ward Kansas City, St. Louis and on to Cleveland in the northerly route which Dr. Eckener and his navi gator mapped out before leaving Los Angeles. ProgTess Reported. Just before midnight last night the Zeppelin was reported to have passed over Levelland, Tex., which is about 90 miles south of the Tex-as-Ak!ahoma border. At 12:30 the ship passed over Abernathy, Tex., on a line with Kansas City. At 2:15 a. m. Tuesday, the Graf left Los Angeles. During the day she glided along above Arizona and New Mexico. Just as the border of Texas al most was in sight, head winds be gan an assault on the ship and her commander. Dr. Hugo Eckener, radioed that he was changing his original plan to fly over the' Texas panhandle. After passing El Paso he said he would head directly for Fort Worth. If the unfavorable air currents af fected the Zeppelin adversely there was no indication of it as she ap peared over El Paso. A convoy of air planes flew out to greet her. A great roar from the spectators supple mented the shrieks of whistles, sir ens and automobile horns. Meets Adverse Winds. Despite adverse winds in eastern Arizona, the Graf had put the worst of the western half of its transcon tinental trip behind it in a success ful night crossing of the dangerous Rocky mountains. Between San Diego and Yuma the Graf maneuvered with a severe electrical storm. Along its route over Arizona, villages turned out en masse to watch the Zeppelin pass. Aviators who greeted the ship re ported that it was flying perfectly and apparently no serious defects hau resulted from a mishap at the take off early today when the heav ily loaded vessel drifted skyward too slowly and its tail group struck high tension wires. Viewed at Columbus. Near Columbus, N. M.t the Zep pelin moved slowly. Watchers there reported it had an altitude of only one hundred feet. F. K. Blair, telephone operator at Columbus, paid that it appeared the Zeppelin was dipping from, side to side. At 3:43 p. m. Blair reported the Zeppelin gaining in altitude as it passed over Columbus at a speed of from 50 to 45 miles an hour. The Graf, which has now been nearly 20 days on its flight from Lakehurst, must reach the eastern terminus Friday if it is to claim tne record round the world night timo of approximately 23 days, set by ohn Henry Mears and the late Captain C. B. D. Collyer in an air plane. When it reaches New York it will have traveled approximately 19 thousand miles. World-Herald. PIONEERS SON IS ADOPTED Tonopah, Nev.

GERMAN FLAG IS HUNTED Springfield, 111. "Put up the Ger man flag," Secretary William J. Stratton instructed the state house flag man Tuesday morning when he and found Polish and French and heard that the Graf Zeppelin was on its way toward Illinois, intending t-. pass over Cpringfield.
