London Has Not Even a Run1or
Of The Fate of Daring Avia-
tor.

London, May 19.-London spent the
day in tense excitement and sus-
pense waiting the, result OF Harry
Hawker's bold attempt 10 fly across
the Atlantic, and after q day OF anS-
ieties Inquiries and unveritied runlors
and speculation the fate Of the pilot
and his navigator, Mackenzie Griev,
is still unknown.
A Sopwith machine. supposed to be
Hawker's. according to an admiralty
wireless report. descended to the sur
face of the ocean + miles west OF the
mouth of the Shannon. Later admir-
ally reports said that this information
was not considered reliable.
Early, inverted reports were that
the Sopwith machine encountered a
gale which reduced lis speed TO 40
miles an hour and finally compelled II
to descend owing 10 exhaustion OF
gasoline.
Crowds Of people waited the day
long at the Brooklands Airdrome.

ing that the aviaeor would make his
AAe~N'
expressed the opinion that Hawker
would unlikely be able TO fly there
after 5 O'Clock this afternoon owing
to his limited supply Of petrol.
The vigil was kept after dark, how
ever. on the chance that The aviator
might arrive Mrs. Hawker remained
at the airdrome until 9 O'Clock. Her
faith in her husbands skill had en-
abled her to endure the suspense calm
~ but on leaving for home she was
unable to conceal her anxiety, al
though she still remained compara-
tivey cheerful.
The fate Of Hawker and Griev can
not be definitely stated and tonight
it is impossible even to assert that
the machine at sea is Hawker's.
The weather off the coast Mon
day was boisterous with rain and
haze. The admiralty has sent out all
available ships TO search for the avia-
tor.

German Mind Not Changed
 Yet, Says Card. Mercier

those who believe that the demo- cratic metamorphosis may be farce 7. It is rather certain that be- fore the Germans cease to he the men that they showed themselves to be in Belgium, some kind of winning ever will be necessary.
 In five months they cannot have become ripe for living in civilized re- lations with the rest of the nations: they have to be educated all over again.
 This re-education can result not only in simple change of consti- tuition, but also in the reform of their school system.
 Men like those that we have seen at work in Belgium could only have come out of 8 school organized like those of the German Empire, where the worship of the State comes be- fore all; either the Germans must be fashioned otherwise, or they will never be a free people.
 I mean by a free people, & people capable of feeling the nobility of moral values. I cannot think of them without remembering a scene that was enacted here in the cosrtyard or this house; it was when the German Government was convinced that l was planning to escape from my epis- copal house in order to lead the pop ular revolt. I consented then to promise that I would avoid going out no matter what happened. The mex day an officer brought me a lett,@ from the Governor; a noto~ car la den with soldiers followed SFm and came into the courtyard. 4 moment afterwards, having occasion to go over to the opposite wing of the building, to get a document, I went down the stairs and was going to cross the courtyard. Instantly an of ficer who guarded me levelled his re volver at me, whilst the soldiers burst out laughing. They were con- vinced that I was going to escape. I left the soldiers alone. but I could not help saying to the officer: T pity you people that are fashioned like this; you will never understand that the word of a man of honor is g. sur CT guarantee than the bullets of your revolvers."

The League of Nations!
 Yes, no man worthy of the name could possibly condemn it.
 The only thing is, are we sure that the plan prepared in Paris will result in anything but a simple limitation of armameuts?
 It is clear that the task of recon structing the world should not be limited to that. J hope that this plan may be developed and perfected. The nations will not be satisfied if after so many niseries and so many prom ises. they should find tomorrow a world as sad and as miserable as be- fore.

Harmony among the men of my country, which I desire to see always secured, is for me one of the forms of universal brotherhood; but I place above. rath- CT higher than the sentiment of this brotherhood even, respect for right, the necessary basis of relation be- tween nations.
 That is why, in order to avoid

 future.
 I should not wish that the Paris Conference should result in Che frus- tratton of the hopes of those who suffered. T should not wish that their long trial should have been borne in vain. So, I say that peace should rest on a foundation of justice, and not to forget the guilty ones
 To my mind, the Government should. for future generations, set to work to render impossible the repe- tition of crimes from which the world is still bleeding.
