TOKYO, Auk. 17. P) Thrill
ing the imaginations of the ancient
Orient and eating tip the miles
over the wilds nf Siberia, the air
liner tiraf Zeppelin today lor the
first time got into touch with the
goal of her perilous flight from
Fried riehsha fen lo Tokyo.
Powerful Japanese wireless sta
tions at ! : 4 0 tonight (":!( a. in.
K.S.T, ) picked up t he position of
the dirigible in the heart of Sibe
ria rushing on to Tokyo with a
following wind whicn enable Dr.
Hugo Kckencr to cruise with three
motors.
At that time the fJraf was esti
mated roughly to be 2.7 'JO miles
from Tokyo, or three-fifths of her
lotaj run, u dl.slance. she could
cover in 48 hours in maintaining
a speed of 00 miles an hour. If
she meets favorable weather she
should moke it easily as Dr. Kck
ener has kept well above an aver
age of fiO miles on the voyage
hitherto.
At 9:40 p. m., the Oraf reported
to the government wireless station
at Ot-hiishi, Hokkaido, that she
was in ii3.:io latitude north and
107.30 longitude east.
Officials at Kasimngaurl naval
air base where the Oraf is expect
ed to land, announced that all was
ready to receive her. Complete
stores, appaii Us and mechanical
assistance had been prepareit for
the next stage of the flight around
the world, across the I'acific
ocean.
Final tests of landing and re
fueling apparatus were made to
day and a landing crew of T0o

Kasimayaui u airport is 41 miles
northeast of Tokyo, where an arm
of the I'acific forms placid lagoon.
Officials announced they would
admit only the hearers of special
passes wlieii the Zeppelin lias been
safely moored. After that the pub
lic will be allowed to inspect it.
American, Oerinan and Japanese
engineers in charge of the prepara
tions for grooming t he dirigible
said the refueling could be com
pleted within :I0 hours after her
arrival. '
This would permit the Oraf to
start out over tile I'acific Thurs-
day or Kriday.
The ( 'eiltral meteorological ob
servatory tonight promised fail'

reach Japan, since a typhoon has

Soviet Launches Major Mil-
itary Operation andi
j Sneers at China's Plea!
For Kellogg Pact Adhere
ence Orient Throbs With
Rumors and Charges.
UtNDON', Anb. 17. ll) The
first military operations on a ma
jor scale along the Manchurian
S Iberian border, where Ihe armies
of soviet Russia and China have
been facing each other for some
weeks, were reported today from
.Mukden and purported to be
based on an official announce
ment. An army of lO.OoO Russians,
equipped with machine guns and
:tu field guns, was said to have
penetrated w e s t e r n Manchuria
both north and south of Man
chnli. It was believed Ibat their
objective was Dalainoi'.
Weiping rejiorted what was ap
parent ly an inc. dent in this gen
eral advance. Twelve Russians
ami four Chinese, according to
this version, wen killed near llal
ainor when a troop of Von soviet
en va irymen engaged 'hinese sd
d.eis in a three-hour conflict.
From Japanese sources cam"
id he:- re purls of minor border
clashes such as have been rumor
ed almost daily for more than a
week. Kven before these latest
and more 'serious invasions It wis
said 1 bat China had drawn a I ten
tion in the signatories of the Kel
logg a nil -war pact to its Infrac
tion hy Russia.
This not if fen lion was cited in
Moscow toil ay as evidence of Chin
ese insincerity and that China
had been made 'the tool of capi
talist! i powers." The soviet lead
ers i barged that t he seizure m
the ITiilie.-e Kasteiti raidway and
the dismissal of soviet employes
Was a Well calculated step fn a
far reaching scheme to draw Rus
sia into war. They contended
that the soviet union had adoptd
nly strict measures of resistance
in the fact of "the most unprece
dented provocation."
With the ofiici., .barges and
counter chaiges irorn both sid-s
and the pain ty of direct informa
tion the act tial sit mil hm a round
M i in bull was in some doubt to
night. (H.s. reis here did not dis

Dam Formed By Glacier
: Breaks and Plunges On,
As Ancient Peoples Flee
Kashmir Shawl Indus
try Hit.
I.10H, Kashmir, Aug. I 7. (H
A wall of water fifty feet high to
day swept down the Indus valley
as a result of tile breaking of the
glacier dam on the Shyok river,
sending terror through this primi
tive old principality of Kashmir.
A hike 11' miles long. 173 feet
deep and I .((On feel wide which
took aiimnths to grow as a glacier
pushed across the Snyok river, has
hurst through the lt-v harrier and
1m falling upon Cashmir ami Wun
jab. Warning guns and beacon fires
blazed through the quiet Shyok
and Indus valleys and here, at the
end of the telegraph line, operators
sent broadcast messages appealing
to tile people tn leave their homes
to the raging waters and save their
lives. Thousands of promltive
native farmers fled t he valleys.
The chief industry of the princi
pality, (he making of the Inimita
ble Kashmir shawls, was paralyzed.
The properly loss in Kashmir for
the most part was crops of millet,
a kind of v.tnn w nich forms the
chief agricultural product of the
dirt rict. The home loss will be
small for the Kashmirites live al
most entirely in tents and are able
to carry their houses with them.
It was feared that farther down
the Indus valley, In Wuujab, where
the new bridge crosses the river
at Attock, the property loss Would
be much greater. WopulHtlou is
denser there. The great wave of
water was likely to be felt as far
as Hukkur. hi lower Wunjab, where
a dam Is being built almost n
thousand miles away from the
bursting of tin- glacier wall. River
boats raced at full speed down the
W all river toward Mnk kur to es

t
'Ready Fight On Vare
to Open In September
More Probes Are Slated.
WASHINCTtlN, Aug. 17. i,V) -The
senate reassembles .Monday to
resume its extra session work, but
It will only meet long enough to
adjourn, as the tariff bill is not
ready for cnusidorat ion.
Heeding I he agreement of the
ty leaders not to lake up any
work until September t. when tb
tarll T measure will he presented
for debate, the senate membership
for the most part
are contiuuiiiK
their vacation.
Duly a handful of senators are
expected to appear Al outlay, at
which lime Senator Watson of
Indiana, t lie republican leader, ill
move immediate adjournment until
Thursday. Three day recesses will
be taken until September. The
senate must meet every three days
because the house Is not in session
and will not be until Sept. 2A. The
consent i,f the house is required
ror a recess ny me senate oi more
than three days.
The tariff hill Is the last one of
the special session legislature
recommendations submitted to
congress by President Hoover re
maining fur disposition. The house
has passed the measure and nil
summer long the senate finance
committee lias been studying it.
The house bill, as revised by the
committee, will he taken hp by the
senate In September and It is the
Intent Ion of the administration
leaders to confine the senate to
that problem in the hope of dis
posing of it before tlie regular ses
sion opens in December,
There was a flurry of excite
ment at Ui .cKpllol iodiy ben
word came from the office nf
1 Senator King, democrat, Utnh,
that he would move for the ex
clusion of William H. Vara, repub
lican senator-elect from Pennsyl
vania, after the senate gets down
to business In Hepteinber.
However, republican leaders are
anxious to defer this long pending
question until the regular session
In December nnd there Is every
indication that the case will not
be taken up until then.
While the special committee
which investigated Vtire'n cam
paign expend! I urea In the I !lG
primary campaign nnd election has
reported and recommended that he
be not seated, the senate elections
committee still la considering the
contest brought by William It.
Wilson, the democratic opponent
of Vare. Chairman Hliortrldge of
the elections committee nees little
opport unity of disposing of the
contest case before the regular ses
sion. With the return of the senate
membership In September, there
also is a prospect of the resump
tion of Home Investigations. The
senate banking committee has be
fore it tin' resolution of Senator1
king proposing mi Inquiry into I
stock market conditions and the I
use of federal reserve funds in I
speculation. Chairman Cutr.ens of i
