Berlin, June 20-(By the Associat-
ed Press. 1T was stated on good au-
thority today that President Ebert
had decided to stand or fall with
Chancellor Scheidemann because he
felt that he must resign rather than
sign the peace treaty.
Between herr Noske, the minister
of defense, and Dr. Mueller, under
secretary of the war food bureau,
the race for the premiership seems
to be strong one, although Mueller
seems to have the advantage on ac-
count of his greater adaptability in
meeting the desires Of the independ-
ents.
An independent leader told the cor
respondent today that it was mat
ter of Indifference to the independ-
ents who was chosen, as neither man
was liked, but that Noske was least
liked because he would antagonize
hundreds of thousands of persons
who regard him asa "blood hound
and oppressor."
The democrats still fighting against
signing, today expelled Baron Won
Richthofen from the peace commit
tee, because he favored signing the
treaty.

HAWKER SKILLED
IN HARD FLIGHTS
OrerSea Pilot Is Veteran in
Irritation Game

Harry 6. lIawker. pilot of the Sop
with, is an Australian of Cornish origin.
lie was taught to fly at BroOklands on
burgess Wright biplanc by r. o.
NJ. Sopwith, himself one of the earliest
British pilots.
Hawker is twenty seven years old
lie began his career as u mechanic. He
first came into prominence October "a
1912, when. flying Il Sopwith biplanc
designed after the pattern of the
Wrights, he established the then Brit
ish record of eight hours and twenty
three minutes for duration fight and
won the British Michclin trophy for
that year.
In 1913. flying Sopwith equipped
with Gnome motor. he established the
then British altitude record of 200
feet. and on the same day carried aloft
two passengers to n height of 10. 500
feet. Later he attained what was
claimed to be the worlds altitude rec
ord-2S. 800 feet-which. of course, was
later cXcelled.
To those who have come in contact
with him, Hawkcr is source of
toughness. He flies high on cold days
without extra clothing, and he attained
an altitude of $4,000 feet without the
use of oxygen. Most pilots would.
without oxygen, have become insensible
long before they reached that height.
On this occasion Hawkcr returned
tc earth by tipping his machine into n
nose dive and coming down like q
rocket stick. Only a man in the prime
of physical fitness could have stood
such lung test Mr.. Ilawkcr is a
lifelong teetotaler and nOnsmoker.
Early in 1914 he was flying in his
own country. During the war he car
ried out tests of machines for the Sop
with Company, made a British height
"record' at Hendon in 1915. and beat
it himself in a Sopwith fighting plane at
tained "a, ,40S feet One who knows
him well writes: He combines in
remarkable degree the ability of the
stunt artist with the judgment and
level medicines of tile strictly safe
man. 4 better pilot for transatlantic
fight it would be impossible to find"
Hawker.o like Glenn II. Curtiss and
other airplane manufacturers in this
country. entered the flying game by way
of the motor trade. He was in business
in Australia when reports of the de =
velopmeut of aviation in. England lured
him with half a dozen other young men
Of the country to the motherland. There
Hawkcr found employment with the
Sopwiths and has been with them ever
since.

HAWKER IS PRAISED
BY BRITISH CONSUL
Feat Is Only Forerunner Of What
Is to Come, Says Official
in This City

Most interesting was the COM
mcnt of Thomas Parker Porter, consul
general for Great Britain in this city
when told today that Harry Hawker,
the Australian aviator, has been re-
ported nearing the Irish coast on his
continuous air flight from Newfoundland
in Sopwith plane.
"Hawker took great risk. didn't
hc?' added Mr.. Porter. 1T is Ger
taiuly most interesting.
Clarence Il. Wynnc, a leader of the
affairs of the Aero Club of Pennsylva-
mia, appeared overjoyed when told Of
the reported success of Hawker's feat
That's perfectly wonderful he i'm
mediately stated, but not unexpected
by those in close touch with the situa-
ton
The assertion of Mr.. Wynne that a
transatlantic flight was expected had no
effect upon his enthusiasm. He re-
peated the phrase of perfectly wonder :
full several times, and his praise of
Hawker was bouudless.
Mr.. Wynnc declared that members of
the Aero Club and other authorities on
aviation in this city had predicted that
transatlantic fight would be made
before June | of this year.
''It is only IA forcrunner of what is
to come" he said. 'Hawker, if this
report is true. is the first man to break
the ice. And | certainly hope it is
true. For others are sure to follow
him.
Before the first loop in the air was
accomplished every one thought that
such n feat was impossible. But the
first man did it. And now every one
is doing it.
1T will be the same way in crossing
the ocean.
"Hawker deserves an unlimited
amount of praise. The fight is per
fectly wonderful. I believe. however,
that the successful fight of Lieutenant
Commander Read, in the American sea =
plane, greatly increased Hawker's con =
fidence and encouraged HIM 10 attempt
the fight. -
