“GET THERE.”
TOKIO, July 7
“Safety first, and get there is my motto,” said Squadron-Leader MacLaren, the British aviator, after landing at Kasumigaura, to-day, from Kusliimoto. He was explaining the delay in his arrival.- Ho battled with head winds all the way from the southern coast, funding it difficult to follow' his course through tho intense blue haze.

The aviators are in fine fettle. Japanese aviation officers entertained them to-niglit enthusiastically.
