LEADERS OF DRY
FORCES CONDEMN
WILSON MESSAGE:
Anti-SaIoon league, Prohibi-

dents Own Church, Pres
byterian, Voice Opposition,

st. Louis, Mo-, May 20.-President
Wilson was criticised today hv COM
missioners to the l3lst general as
semby of the Presbyterian church,
u. s, A., for requesting congress to
repeal or amend the wartime prohi-
hition act and a resolution was Mdont-
ed urging congress to sustain the law.
President Wilson is an elder in the
church.
A copy of the resolution will be
cabled TO the president Ii follows.
This assembly learns with pam
that the president of the United
states has recommended to congress
that it repeal the wartime prohibit
tton and in view of this fact we most
earnestly petition congress that it Mt
only retain the measure. but that the
measure be enforced to the fullest ex-
world for food may be ma, ami that
the efficiency ANA morale of our own
people be preserved"
When the resolution was read the
commissioners applauded for several
minutes.
The Rev Dr. W. NJ. Kinman of
Columbus, o., declared "such a stand
is very mbecoming for an elder in
the Presbyterian church, and for a
man holding so high an office as thar

to resume the flight. Commander
Towers evidently, after examining his
flagship, decided to leave the field to
the NC-4 alone,
Naval experts said today that the
performances thus far in the trans
Atlantic flight have demonstrated
that great strides IN aviation have
been made from an engineering stand
point, but that the development of
seaplanes has not yet reached the
stage where they are of demonstrated
commercial value. All apparently are
agreed that bigger ships are neces-
sary for trans Atlantic flying.
Officials emphasized. however, that
the work of Commander Towers
squadron had been highly satisfactory
and they are convinced that fog alone
prevented all three of the flying craft
from reaching the Azores through the
air The value OF the desirn was also
demonstrated, they said, hu the ability
shown by the NC-3 to ride through a
storm
1t was said that the planes un-
dOubtedly would have done much bet
ter had they been equipped with
geared Liberty motors, that Is. motors
of 500 horsepower, but with no great
er weight than the 400 horsepower EN-
glnes, Engineers st!ll are working on
such motor. Another problem
which experts are seeking to solve Is
that of gearing the propellers down
when the engine Is at full speed. so
as to get greater efficiency. This
problem IS similar to that which en-
gineers faced when the turbine ship
engine first was designed.
