the choice of giving up his office

ually reliable high army source last
night that the JJnited States, thru
its ambassador, Sumner Welles, had
delivered an ultimatum to Presi
dent Machado calling for his with
drawal by noon today. The infor
mation said that Ambassador Welles
demanded Machado to take a va
cation to the expiration of his term'
in office on the penalty of United
State’s intervention if he refused.
An extensive list of recommenda
tions has been forwarded to Wash
ington by Ambassador Welles and
attaches of the State Department

INJURED WHEN
PLANE TURTLED
HORTA, Azores, Aug. 9. — Four
Italian aviators were hurt here to
day when one plane of General It
|alo Balbo’s air armada overturned
on an attempted take-of for Lis^
bon.
The fliers, including Capt. Ran
ieri, commander of the ship, were
| taken to a hospital where their in -
juries were diagnosed as not being
so bad.
The accident was caused, it was
said, by the fact that the planes
were forced to take off on the open
sea. They were caught by a huge
wave and the ship overturned.
Despite the accident 20 ships left
for Portugal. Three seaplanes re
mained to care for the injured men
and were to follow the remainder
of the armada when the men are
freed from the hospital.
Fog awaited the fliers on the
European end of their flight but
