BY GORDON BRUCE.

American friends Of Squadron Com
mander John Cyril Porte. were much
concerned over the report received yes
terday of the loss of the flying boat
America in the North Sea. Porte made
many acGuaintances while he was in
this country last summer trying out
the great craft before attempting to
fly across the Atlantic for the North
cliffe $4,000 prize.
The first news received did not state
whether Porte was lost with the ma
chine. and the Aero Club of America
took steps at once to learn the fate of
the pilot. The fact that Porte flew
the machine at the time Of the great
British raid in Belgium led many to

ZIONISTS FAVOR
BIG CONVENTION
Chairman Declares Sentiment
Is for National Jewish
Congress.

Boston, June 29.-To-day's session OF
the Federation of American Zionists
moved expeditiously and considerable
business was disposed of. Louis Lipsky
the chairman, urged the delegates 10
act deliberately and calmly. lie then
called for Samuel II. Borofsky, who al
Yesterdays session was denied the
privilege of debating the resolution for
an American Jewish congress.
Mr.. Borofsky was not in the conven'
ton hall at the time, and the chair then
explained that yesterday, in spite OF
apparent superficial differences OF
opinion on the invitation OF the pro.
visional committee to other national
Jewish organizations TO cooperate IN
calling such a congress, the convention
was almost unanimously in favor OF
such action.
Toward noon Mr.. Borofsky offered
a resolution that a committee OF ten
be appointed by the chair TO dehne
and establish the rights, powers and
duties OF the provisional Zionist com.
mittea and the form and manner OF
representation therein and 10 report
TO the convention. The resolution
was referred TO the committee on
resolutions,
A matter which oceasioned much
debate was the question OF the as
sumption by the federation Of the
liabilities and property Of the "Yid-
dische Folk" Jewish publication,
with a circulation OF about $4,000. Al
length the resolution was adopted.
A reception was rendered TO Nathan
Straus at the City Club this after
noon by former Senator Edward J.
Bromberg. Mr.. Strsus told Of his re-
cent visit 70 Palestine and declared his
firm belief that II is destined to be re-
established as the home OF Jewish
nation. He paid high tribute to the
leadership of Mr.. Brandeis.
Hebrew Night" was observed TO,
night in connection with the formal
opening of the seventh annual eonven-
ton Of Young Judea. the federation
OF Junior Zionists. At this CATHERINE,
Nathan Straus, Of New York. pleaded
for lives that were in harmony with
the Hebrew religion. The convention
elected Miss Henrietta Sold, OF New
York, president, and MisSS. Berger, oil
New York, treasurer.

in ner trials at Hammondsport broke
all worlds records for flying boat per-

powerful fighting seaplane in use by
any of the warning nations.
Built with a wing spread of seventy
four feet and equipped with two 100
horsepower motors, the America got
into the air with a gross weight Of al
most three tons. She did not do the
trick with the ease that Porte and
Curtss felt was necessary, and they
were about to make certain changes
in her hull when the declaration of war
called Porte 10 England.
Although the machine did not come
up to transatlantic requirements as she
stood, she was capable of carrying
easily more than a ton Of explosive be-

Her speed under such load was sixty
five miles an hour. The capacity Of
most of the naval machines was limited

The America was shipped to England

When Porte resigned from the navy,
because of i'll health, he was in the

physical condition.
Recent rumors of a new and huge
German machine have caused experts
to believe that the Teutons have taken
a leaf out of Curtiss's book and have
begun building powerful aeroplanes,
