A giant Handley-Page airplane, carrying six members of the Royal air force, started from the airdrome near Ipswich at 9:30 o'clock last night and headed across the channel for France on a fllyht to Karachi, India, and thence to Delhi.

The craft ran into a bank of thick fog, however, and was compelled to make a landing on the French coast. The journey, It Is announced, will be continued. The distance to Delhi Is something more than 5700 miles. This machine was originally assigned to bomb Berlin. It measures 127 feet from wing tip to wing tip and weighs, with fuel and passengers, about 27,000 pounds.

It can make 80 miles an hour and can carry 1200 gallons of eptrol, sufficient for a flight of nearly 16 hours.

(By the A. The Zeitung Am Mlttag and the afternoon editions of the Tageblatt and Vos-siche Zeitung did not publish today because of a strike arising from wage demands by the men In the composing rooms. Skilled workers receive Bood wages. Thd fact that members of the soldiers' and workmen's councils are drawing pay on the same scale has stimulated employes In many branches to accept that figure as the standard of pay. The Wertheim department store shut down today as a result of the firm's refusal to accede to the demand of the women employes for an extra war allowance ranging from 10 Oto 500 marks each.

The amount involved would total 1,500.000 marks. The firm offered a compromise of 700,000 marksK which was refused. The women walked out and organized a parade through the downtown streets. The Wertheim management announced today that the salary Increases granted in the last two years exceeded 3,000,000 marks. That the labor situation in many of the big Industrial plants in Berlin is rapidly becoming acute is evidenced by the peremptory demands made by the! workmen and clerical forces in the Sie-mans and ilaltke electrical works and the allied Slemans-Schuckert plant at Spandau.

The wage schedules with which the management is being confronted call for increases amounting to 124,000,000 marks annually. The firm last year declared a dividend of 13,500.000 marks. At one rtage of the negotiations part of the employes attempted to pre-cent the directors and executive officers of the firm from entering their offices. The employes of the General Electric in' the service of the bureau of intelligence of the department of justice, testified to having called at Victor Berger's office In Milwaukee. 'Mr.
