o1. JOdNS, \. F., May lo.-IH dirigible C-5, fugitive airship of the United States navy, which forestalled the attempt of Liutenant Commander Coil and his crew to fly across the At lantic, by breaking loose from its moorings in a storm yesterday, was abandoned as lost today.
 The destroyer Edwards, after an all night search for the blimp, among the icebergs of the Arctic current, returned to port without sighting it. The Brit ish freighter Clan Davidson, which had reported she was standing by the gas bag, sent a radio message this morning, saying that she was away off the course and must proceed"
 It was suggested tonight by Rear Admiral s. S Wood that Captain Har- ris of the freighter may have mis- taken an iceberg for the dirigible, after a wireless message had been sent broadcast calling on ships at sea to watch for the C-5.
 Coil Wants Another Try
 Commander Coil, who commanded the C-5 on the flight here from Mon- tauk Point, which is believed to be the longest nonstop cruise ever made by a non-rigid balloon, said he had giver up hope of salvaging the ship. He announced to the Associated Press his intention of asking the navy department for permission to make an 1 other attempt at transatlantic flighf | in Q dirigible.
 A naval board of inquiry conducted a hearing to consider the dirigible': | loss on tte cruiser Chicago today. Tn, l hearing was secret but it was an. Nunced that it merely was a routin, proceeding. The crew of the C-5 lief | for Boston on the destroyer Edwards

Grain Growers Protest

GREAT FALLS, Mont. May 16.- The Montana grain growers organiza- tion today sent telegram to Presi- dent Wilson, protesting the action of Wheat Administrator Barnes in New York, May 13, in his agreement to re- duce the price of wheat, fin conference with millers, bakers and grain traders, to all of whom satisfactory profits are guaranteed"
 The action of Barnes says the tele- gram, ignored millions of farmers who are growing wheat and denied their profits from a worlds demand"
 ''The action" says the telegram, was not only in violation of anti trust laws, but of sound public policy, and this unlawful price fixing will cost farmers of the United States hundreds of millions of dollars. We ap- peal to you to forbid Barnes and others from consumating this unlawful and terribly dangerous program

NEW YORK, May 16.-President Wilson, by executive order dated May II, has directed the food administra- ton grain corporation to change it's name to the United State Grain cor poration, and increase it's capital stock from s150,OO0, 900 to $50O,o00,0o0 ac- cording to cable message from Her bert Hoover received here tonight.
 Early in June a general conference of delegates from interested organiza- tions, including those of growers, will be held in New York to consider and act upon suggestions for notifications proposed in contracts now being worked out. By July l, it is expected that the new license and contracts will be in general use. They are designed to provide throughout the United States, wheat in the berry shall sell at S2.26 or it's proper relations, so that the producer everywhere will get the full government guaranteed price. 1 There is nothing in the present situa- ton to encourage the expectation that there will be lower prices for bread immediately, Julius H.

TRY TO TAKE
|N|PERATOR,"
Def Of j. s.

II Britain wants the InPerator IN
10000 tons OF other German shipping
now In United States poris. the on'S
way she can get them-Un' Tie
shipping Board and the State De-
partment are oyerruled by some hiSh-
er authority-Is to come and get
them"
This. a high official reveals. is the
attitude. OF the United States Govern
ment.
The seizure OF the Imperator anj
the other German ships was called an
act OF retaliation" against Great
Britain for her unwarranted seizure
OF American-ow tanSers in Ger
man ports simply because they q ~
the German flag, and. as an act of re-
tAliation. 1T takes on much greater
seriousness.
II was stated that Great Britain,
even while ownership Of the tankers
was in negotiation. simply took"
them and is holding them as her
share Of the ships seized in German
ports.
That was not known to the Ship
ping Board and to the State Depart
rnent it was stated. until a day or two
before the War Department was
ready to turn over the Imperator and
the other ships to the agents of Great
Britain at New York. The shipping
Board put a summary stop to the
transfer.
The action of Great Britain in ap-
propriating the Standard Oil tankers
IS regarded here as q reversal of her
position at the time she was chasing
the Wagner ships and taking them
into British ports over the protest OF
the State Department The Wagner
ships flew the American flag and had
American registry.
Nevertheless. the British ambassa-
dor at Washington asserted he had
proof that the money, or a large part
OF il. in the Wagner ships was cf
German or enemy origin" and there
fore IL was the money interest that
counted
In the case o. the tankers il was
clearly shown to Great Britain that
they were built b - Standard Oil
Company. a corporakEsa of New Jer-
sey, although they fhsw the German
flag. In the case OF the tankers
Great Britain claimed the flag and
not the money counted.
The outcome of the case, il was said
here. will be one OF immense import
snce as the settlement OF a principle
rather than because OF value OF the
ships IN question.
