$4,000 feet and the fiiers never
sighted n single ship.
II did not know once during the
night whether l was upside down or
not" said Captain Alcock. "Once
we ascended hurriedly when we saw
the green Atlantic only 80 feet be-
low."
Would Have Turned Back
The breaking away of the propel-
Ter generating current for the wire
less apparatus soon after the start
prevented communication with the
shore. When it happened, Lieut..
Brown noticed that the propeller
had carried away with it one of the
stay wires, but he did not tell Cap
tain Alcock until after they had
landed at Clifden. When Alcoci
learned of the incident. he said: II
would have turned back, had 1

Weather conditions were very bad
during the trip and Lieut.. Brown
had to climb from his Seat to clear
the ice away from the petrol gauge.
Enough Flying for a Bit''
After breakfast to-day. Lieut..
Brown went to bed, while Captain
Alcock inspected the machine. The
lieutenant, however, was unable to
steep ana soon got up. by noon DOtn
were looking perfectly well. Cap
tain Alcock wanted to fly to England
in borrowed plane, but his COM
panion observed:

bit"
Captain Alcock exhibited a bunch
of rain-soaked letters which he had
been asked to mail if the flight was
successful, saying: L am the first
transatlantic postman."
Once in Real Danger
The aviators said they were only
once in real danger, when the ma
chine went into a fiat spin, owing
to the pilot being unable to know
how the machine was moving. Lieut.,
Brown noticing that the compass
needle was swinging from side to side
the first indication that something
was wrong-managed to get Captain
Alcock to understand the difficulty
The machine travelled at a rate OF
140 miles an hour at times and the
pilot once found himself diving
straight toward the surface of the
ocean. He was so near the water
that he had to Snatch" the ma
chine from its dive so quickly that
it almost looped the loop. He SAYS
the machine would have crumpled
up had it touched the water at the
speed 1t was then travelling.

Paris, June 16.-The German re-
ply to the Peace Treaty submitted
at Versailles on May Z, maintains
that the enemies of Germany have
forsaken the peace of justice to
which they had pledged themselves
in the armistice negotiations, for a
peace of might
The reply, an official summary of
which was made public here to-
day, protests against the proposed
terms individually and collectively,
and demands a return to the original
agreements. 1t presses for verbal
negotiations, and states that Ger
many expects justice on a basis OF
equality and reciprocity.
The reply follows the lines of the
summary of the German counter
proposals given out in Berlin at
about the time they were presented.
Covers 119 Pages
The document covers one hundred
and nineteen pages and includes a
covering letter by Count Won Brock
dorff- Rantzau under date of May 20,
which has already been published,
and "a second section of comments
following the main outline of the
original draft treaty. Two separate
papers on legal and financial ques-
tions are included as part of the
general reply. Both English and
French translations have been fur
nished in pamphlet form, the former
about $4,000 words.
The reply begins with a detailed
analysis of the legal basis of peace,
alleges a hagrant series of CONTRA
dictions to this basis and points out
that the results would be the COM
plete enslavement of the German
people and the betrayal of all the
worlds cherished hopes of peace.
In the counter-proposals Germany
demands immediate admission TO the
League of Nations as part of the
spirit of the armistice agreement
and as necessary for the acceptance
of the proposed military, naval and
air terms. She then analyses the ter
ritorial changes demanded, claiming
that the right of self-determination
has been wilfully violated through
out.
Germany bitterly assails the aboli-
ton of all German rights outside of
as irreconcilable with the
negotiations and as
wholly impossible to n great people,
who not only have supreme needs for
markets and supplies, but who have
shown themselves capable of sharing
the worlds task of colonization.
Germany is wholly unable to ac-
cept the reparations commission set
ND by the Allies as involving an IN
fringement of her sovereignty puC

OIL LANDS IN
 ALASKA MAY BE
 OPENED SOON
Military Leasing Bill Be- force Congress Has Been Adjusted by
 COnfereeS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Long ex isting controversies in Congress over the policy looking to the opening and development of military gas and coal lands in Western States and in Alaska, have been adjusted with the reaching of final agreement by the Senate and House conferees upon the military leasing bill
 Under the provisions of the bill over 5O,000,000 acres of oil, gas, coal, phosphate and sodium on public lands may be opened to prospectors under the leasing and aptent system
 Under the agreement reached by the Senate and House conferees, the Secretary of the Interior would have authority to grant prospecting per mits for land outside of naval re- serves. Applications may be made for $40 acres located within ten miles of any producing oil or gas field. or 2,560 acres, beyond that district. Upon discovery of oil, the prospector is permitted to obtain lease upon one-fourth of this land, with pref erential right to lease the remaining unpatented lands embraced within the limits of his permit.
 In such a case he will give the Government a royalty of not less than 20 per cent. Prior to obtaining the lease the prospector is required to pay royalty of 20 per cent. The lease will be for 20 years at rental rate of one dollar per acre.
