HITLERITES AWED AS 180,000 "STEEL HELMETS" AVOW REICH LOYALTY
BERLIN, Germany -- In the most striking and epochal military demonstration in this country since the Armistice, the great World War veterans' society, in uniform and full equipment minus only rifles and bayonets, assemble at Templehof Field to serve notice to the Nazis and Reds that the Von Papen government has its sanction. The Chancellor, other ministers and high officials of the government are in evidence, marking the first public recognition of the powerful ex-soldier organization. The former Crown Prince, Gen. von Mackensen and other high ranking "brass hats" of the former Junker regime, make the review a veteran-government-royalist celebration. Prussian banners, war-time military marches and the goose-step show the trend of sentiment in the Vaterland.

A most picturesque event, so unusual that even the Japanese call the mammoth devices the "fool lanterns of Ishiki."

ALL TRACES LOST OF TRANS-OCEAN FLIERS; FEARED SUNK AT SEA
BROOKLYN, N. Y. -- The American Nurse, the big Bellanca monoplane which took Pangborn and Herndon around the world last year, takes the air at Floyd Bennett Field, the first flying medical laboratory, to attempt a non-stop flight to Rome. With William Ulbrich as pilot, Miss Edna Newcomer, a nurse of Williamsport, Pa., as co-pilot, and Dr. Leon M. Pisculli of New York, to observe the physical reactions of the other two during the progress of the flight, the big aircraft wings its way into the rising sun, skirting the southern coast of Long Island and disappears in the Eastern haze of the new morn, to become the latest mystery of the air-lanes. Reported by ships twice on its two-day voyage, the last time only a few hours from the British Isles, the plane fails to appear over Europe and now is heralded as another casualty of the deep. An additional tragic page in the history of man's aerial achievement.
