NEW YORK, April 23.-Three ma
val flying boats, the N C-1, N C-3
and N CA, will be used in the trans
Atlantic flight of the navy which Is
to start soon, it was learned today.
The wings of the N C-2 will be
fitted to the N CT, which was par
tally wrecked in the recent storms.
The N C-2, making two experimental
flights yesterday remained in the
air three and half hours. In the
final flight she carried eleven pas
sengers and gasoline, bringing the
load to 28,5O0 pounds.
Experiments carefully worked out
by naval flyers show that the N C-2t
can carry 1880 pounds of gasoline
and oil, which, at the rate OF COZ
pounds per hour, will carry her ap-
proximately eighteen flying hours.
Her speed is estimated at ninety-f1ye
miles an hour, but her pilots believe
an average, of only seventy will be
attained in regular flights.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Borah today charged "a studied, per-
sistent effort at secrecy" with re-
spect to the league of nations cove
nant, and demanded that the state
department make public Immediately
the revised text just received from
Paris.
This studied, persistent effort at
secrecy" said Borah, lis an unmis-
taxable admission that the instru-
ment as amended will not bear dis
oussion Its proponents doubtless
have In mind the effect of tie sixty
day debate upon the first draft,
which was supposed to be perfect and
unassailable when it came forth
In the same connection, Borah
served notice that when the covenant
comes into the senate, no rules de-
secrecy in regard to matter OF
such vital and immediate concern to
the people at large" The subject
will be debated 'in the Open"
The new draft should no longer be
held secret, Borah declared, If the
people are to have time to read and
it before President VIII
son returns, presumably to address
them on it. They have thus far been
given nothing, Borah said, but an
official Interpretation of what the
amendments mean.
"Who is more deeply concerned in
the exact terms and provisions of
this amended draft than the Ameri-
can people?" asked Borah. We are
entitled to 1t at once. We should
then have law providing for a vote
of the people before. we surrender
the vital powers of this government
to tribunal controlled by foreign
powers"

Tremendous Interest.
by Robert j. Bender, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 23.-There
was tremendous interest in all official,
Diplomatic and congressional quarters
here, today at President Wilson's ac-
ton in demanding a show down by the
Italian people with their minister,
Baron Sonnino, on the subject OF
Fiums.
1t is understood that the president
is supported absolutely in his course
by Great Britain and France.
What the action Of the Italian peo-
I 10 will be to the appeal is conjectur-
al. Whether they will sanction sep
arate peace and war with Jugo-Slo-
yakia over Fiume, or will demand
the overthrow of the Sonnino reaction
ary regime, with instructions to the
to send delegates to the
peace conference that can bring
about a solution of the question, the
next few days are expected to tell. 1t
is believed here the present ministry
will fail.
The president told Sonnino direct
.ly when he visited Rome that the
United States could not sanction the
acquisition of Fiume by Italy. 1t was
during that conference that the presi-
dent answered Sonnino's argument in
favor of annexing Fiume with the fol-
lowing:
~ am told that New York City has
a larger italian population than al
most any city in Italy itself. but de-
spite this / could scarcely approve OF
i1s being turned over to Italy
II was in Rome, too, that the presi-
dent and Sonnino had another inter
esting disagreement. A mammoth
crowd had gathered on one of the
great public squares in the belief that
the president would speak to them;
