Last week we had two: Japanese aeroplanes from Moscow. and the flyers received most. cardial receptions by a large crowd on each occasion, the Japanese Consul-General Mr. Yagi being the first to welcome them, Both were young men, one flying from Moscow and representing the Japanese newspaper '"Hochi." He flew leisurely over Russia and Siberia making several stops en route, sending his impressions to his newspaper. He was forced to make a landing" between Manchouli and Harbin and only 30 versts from this town, as he ran} out of benzine, owing to a very bad age over the Hinghan mountains where he encountered quite a storm. The flyer was, particularly pleased with the kindness, he. received at this village, for when he asked for a tin of gas, he was immediately supplied. by a Chinese trader, who refused point blank to take payment for same when the aviator tended a ten dollar gold bill. The other flyer, Azuma, who, is. the owner of a small Japanese. restaur fant at Los Angeloes, set out from that city nearly three months ago, first flying across the United States then over Europe. His destination is Tokyo where his mother lives, whom he has not seen for thirteen these that he purchased the years. Tt was with his savings of
