Catarrh of the nose or throat when
it becomes chronic weakens the deli

QUESTION OF RETURN
FLIGHT TO AMERICA
IS STILL UNDECIDED

TREPASSEY, n. F, May IL
Whether the American seaplanes on
arriving at Plymouth. England, will
try to fly back to American is a ques-
ton still undecided.
In the last few days Commander
Towers discussed the proposition
with the other flyers and speculated
on the possibility of making the re-
turn trip, but the pressure of prep
aration for the eastward dash pre-
vented the adoption Of any definite
plans.
All the flyers agreed that the sug-
gestion was alluring. but that the
trip would be even more difficult than
the eastward voyage, as the prevail
ing winds would be against a west
ward flight until late in the year.
Newfoundland would be virtually i'm
possible as a landing place on account
Of dense foGs and gales and longer
courses TO the south would therefore
be essential.
Several members OF Towers com
mand are eager to return to private
business after the flight, and he hest
tated TO ask them 10 remain to risk
their lives in a more dangerous VEN
tUre.
Extraordinary preparations have
been necessary on both sides OF the
ocean, yet no decision has been made
az to how the seaplanes are to return
after England is reached, and it is
quite possible that il the long leap
over seas is successful a return
through the air lanes will be author
lied.

official transatlantic flight under
taken by any government The navy
assumed full responsibility for it's
success or failure and has put its en-
tire resources at the command Of
the flyers. The same will be true Of
the contemplated dirigible flight.
Shortly before dawn today the
pioneer air fleet passed beyond direct
communication with navy shore sta
tions. The sending apparatus on the
seeplanes being too weak to reach
land. However, the flyers would
never be out of communication with
destroyers along the route. But ne
cessity of relaying messages will slow
up communication, il was stated.
Because of almost perfect weather
conditions, the navy again during the
night established new wireless rec
ords for distance. The Bar Harbor,
Ne, station could hear the seaplane
commanders about 1850 miles away
talking among themselves.

NC-1 Was Favored
As Best of 3 AeroS

Navy officials were placing thet7
bets on the NC-1 as the seaplanes
rose from Trepassy bay on the long
Jump to the Azores. She was the only
one that had gone without mishap.
This boat, the first Of the giant
navy seaplanes, has had a romantic
career since she was completed last
October, and has stood endurance
tests, which lead navy officials to De-
lieve she has the best chance OF
getting across The NC ! is tie
favorite of the mechanics who put the
three machines in readiness at Rock
away Beach.
The NC-I came near being left be-
hind at the start from Rockaway
when she caught FIRE a few hours
before the start and lost one wing
and suffered other damages. Work
men swarmed around her and in six
ten hours a two-weeks repair job
was finished and the plane went up
for a test flight She worked PEI

PLANES TO BE GIVEN
NAMES OF COLUMBUS
SHIPS IN PORTUGAL

Commander Towers, Of the Amer
lean aerial transatlantic expedition,
yesterday compared the three big NC
seaplanes to the caravels OF Colum-
bus, adding that when Portugal is
reached the NC-1, 3. and will be
rechristened, Nina, Santa Maria, and
Pinta, respectively.
Commander Towers directs the
flight from the NC-3, which will be
named Santa Maria, in honor OF the
flagship of Americas discoverer.
The Azores, port OF call four CEN
turtles ago for ocean pioneers sailing
westward, will be the first stop of
the Americans flying eastward.
Incidentally, when the seaplanes
reach the Azores, they will have
reached Europe, just as Columbus was
considered to have reached the new
world when he landed at San Saliva
dor, for the Azores are charted as
the Western Islands OF Europe.

The flight is purely for scIentltc

PROMISES REPEAL
OF NEW WAR TAXES

Speedy repeal OF the new war taxes

was promised today by Congressman
Moore of Pennsylvania, who ranks
second in the membership OF the Re-
publioan-controlled House Ways and
Means Committee.
Moore, who is one Of the chief lieu
tenants of Congressman Mann of Il
linois, who is expected to retain his
leadership of the Republican organi-
zation in the House, said that. as
soon as the House met on Monday at
noon, he would introduce a resolution
calling for the repeal of that section
OF the revenue bill embodying the
luxury taxes.
Republican leaders OF the Senate
declared that the new war taxes
should be at once wiped out, and their
repeal was, therefore, regarded as
certain to be one OF the first accom-
plishments OF the Sixty-sixth Con-

At 800 o'clock this morning a navy
radio snapped through the word that

about $50 miles out from Trepassey.
The last heard from the NC-1 and
NC-S declared they were in forma-

COnAde1f Of Success.
Naval officers engaged in details
connected with the fight were con-
Adent the carefully arranged pre-
cautions would insure success of the
daring venture They entertained no
fears for the safety OF the flyers, who
will never be out OF reach Of the de-
stToyers strung at hfty-miIe intervals
along the route.
There were some disappointed naval
aviation officers here who read. the
first flashes telling Of the start from
Trepassy. From the time, months ago,
when the project was conceived, there
has been intense rivalry among navy
flyers for assignment to the trans-At-
lantic flight. Not until the last min
ute did some Of them give UP hope
that by some good fortune they would
be ordered to Join Commander Tow
ers' squadron.
Everyone was confident that the
flight would be completed, though
perhaps it will be necessary for the
big boats to alight on the water dur
ing the trip. This will not be held to
mar the flight so far as official rec
ords are concerned, and destroyers
have been ordered not to pick up the
planes when aid calls are sent out
until specifically asked to. The hope
is that should either OF the planes be
forced to come down to the water, re-
pairs can be made and the flight re-
.sumed without the crews leaving their
boats
Favor DirigfbIe Type.
While feeling certain OF the sue
eessfuI outcome Of the transatlantic
Aight by heavier than air machines.
aviation officials took occasion to re-
mark that the future of ocean air
travel is not necessarily with the
heavier than air machine. Expert
opinion here seems to be in favor Of
the dirigible balloon as the most
practical method Of long distance air
navigation. For that reason the test
flight Of the C-5 aroused considerable
interest here, as il is known that
upon the outcome Of this experiment
will be formed plans for an ocean
dirigible fight.
The dirigibles make slower time
than the planes, but their ability TO
stay up in event OF engine trouble
and other delays makes them the
safer method for commercial travel
Navy officers freely predicted a
dirigible transatlantic flight within q
short time.
