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

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.

M. Johnson, Chicago insurance mag
nate, who is associated with the
Death valley pioneer in building a

make the Standard Oil company of
Indiana one of the largest factors
in the oil industry was taken here

meeting. It was decided to increase

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.

English flags but not a single Ger
