Make Texts Public

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The state department tonight made public the text of notes exchanged by Count von Brockdorff- -Rantzau, head of the Ger man peace delegation, and M. Clemen- ceau, president of the peace confer ence relative to final determination Of the Sarre basin and the disposition of it's coal products. The question was first touched upon in a note by the German delegation dated May 1-, and later was made the subject of a dis tinct communication, May Is. The reply to both notes was handed to the Germans yesterday.
 The text of the notes show the sug- gestions of the Germans that viva voce discussion of questions as to the amount of coal to be supplied France and Belgium, and the transportation of such supplies: that the concerns dam aged in northern France participate by shares to an extent agreed upon in such German coal mines as are charged with the delivery of coal to the regions decided upon; that in lieu of actual control, by the associated powers, a system of economic guaran- tees be instituted-all were summar ily rejected.
 To the proposal that shares in the Sarrc mines be issued to damaged French concerns, the reply assents that such shares situated in German ter ritory and subject to German eXploi- tation. would be of doubtful value to French holders, and would create a confusion of French and German in .erests.'
 The most surprising of the propo- sitions put forward in regard to the Sarre basin, is based on an expressed fear that the surplus of coal, over and above the home requirements would not suffice for the quantities which the treaty of peace has fixed, and the sug gestion is made that the consumption of coal in Germany, France and Bel gium be rationed in due proportion.
 clemenceau's Reply
 M. Clemenceau, in reply, states that no arrangement of the kind put for ward could give to France the se- curity and certainty which she would receive from the full exploitation and free ownership of the mines of the Sarre."
 The only real concession made to the Germans is to allay the apprehension expressed by Count Brockdorff Rant zau, as to Germauy's ability to effect the payment in gold agreed upon.
 The concession, as made Tn the reply is for the substitution of the following 2 for the present clause, governing such payments in the treaty:
 The obligation of Germany to make such payment shall be taken into ac- count by the reparation commission and for the purpose of this payment Germany may create a prior charge upon her assets or revenues, upon suct detailed terms as shall be agreed tC by the reparation commission.
 "If. nevertheless, Germany, after period of one year from the date or which the payment becomes due. shal not have effected the said payment. tn, reparation commission shall do so il accordance with such instructions a! may be given by the league of nations and. if necessary. by liquidating tha portion of the mines which is in ques ton.

St. Johns is Joyful


 ST. JOHNS, May 25.-Messages from London today announcing the safety of Hawker and Grieve spread through this city rapidly.
 Rejoicing was general. but was per haps greatest among the group oe British aviators who had been prepar- ing to follow Hawker
 Captain Frederick P. Raynham. who was stopped in his attempt to follow Hawker by the collapse of his Mar tinsyde's under carriage, had held firm ly to the belief that Hawker and Grieve would be found somewhere north of Scotland.
 "The storm assumed the form of an egg, extending northwest from the Azores said Raynham. That meant that Hawker would first encounter northeast winds. then easterly winds. then a strong set of winds from the south, those from the south being cons tinuous and stronger than the others
 Further apparent substantiation Of Raynham's theory was found in reports brought here last night by the British freighter Glendevon from London.
 The wireless office of the Glendevon said at 1:30 Monday morning, Green wich time) he overheard the steamer | Sammanger sending to "DKA," the l Sopwith's radio designation, her po- 1 sition as fifty degrees 2S minutes north latitude, and thirty degrees, west lon i gitude. Subsequently, the Sammanger | informed the officer it had sighted the red light of plane to the north. A few hours later, the Glendevon was overta1en by northeast gale. working down from the direction in which the red light, believed to have l been that of the Sopwith plane, had disappeared.
 The Glendevon sent out repeated calls to other ships, broadcasting the reported positions of the Sopwith and requesting that ships stand by to give aid, but received response only from the cableship Faraday.
 The log of the Glendevon shows the developments of the weather which Hawker went through and which the captain of the GIendevon said he stated at the time was ''so tempestous that no plane>could live through it''
 Unloading of the parts of the Vimy bomber which is to attempt the trans Atlantic flight was virtually completed , today.
 Captain Jack AIcock, pilot. says he expected to have his twin -engineo plane ready to fly before the Handley Page, which has been two weeks under assembly at Harbor Grace. The Vimy will be assembled at Quidividi, Rayn-
 ham having offered the use of his air
 drome for that purpose.
 Captain Alcock and Lieutenant A. " Brown began assembling the Vimy thi: afternoon and it was expected tha . within ten days the TOO horsepowel ] bomber, built to storm Berlin from tn, I skies, will be ready for it's peace timt 9 assignment of crossing the Atlantic.

! destroyer. the Revenge. reported tc the admiralty this afternoon, that Hawker and Grieve would sleep on board tonight. The aviators will reach London at o'clock Tuesday evening.
 News Electrifes Britain
 The news of the rescue has electri fled all Britain. Eight destroyers, after thorough search of the Atlantic for 300 miles from the Irish coast had given up the quest and there was prac- tically no hope that the airmen were alive.
 l This morning. however. the forlorn ] hope that the aviators might be picked 1 up by some craft without wireless was realized. The Danish steamer, Mary. crawling along at nine konts, was the lucky vessel. and her brief message to the watchers at the Butt of Lewis, as she proceeded on her way to Scot land. left the public to speculate won i deringly over the details of the air mems adventures.
 The admiralty immediately dis patched destroyers from northern points to intercept the Mary and the Daily Mail instructed all signal sta tions to try to communicate with the captain with the urgent request to land the aviators at some Scottish port. The admiralty quest succeeded and a wireless came from the destroyer Woolsun, late in the evening, that she had overtaken the Mary and had transferred the aviators
 Nothing but some great battle has excited London more than today's un expected tidings. The public was dis
 posed to question whether the first report could be trusted, and the ad- miralty statement that it was taking measures to verify the report indicated doubt, which the Woolsun's message
 dispelled.
 The modest Hawker home near Sur
 biton was quickly the center of in
 terest.
 Crowds of people swarmed there
 Mrs. Hawker who had only on Satur
 day received a telegram of coincidence from King George said q had a presentiment all along that [ I should see my husband again. I was l confident all the time. although every one condoled with me. I am overjoyeG l and too overcome to talk now"

WILSON MAY STATE
AMERICAN ATTITUDE

WASHINGTON, March 13.-That
President Wilson will make a public
statement of the attitude of the AM
erican people toward the league of ma
tions covenant is the conviction of his
advisers. Shortly before departminf
for France the president declared he
would probably make such a state
ment after his arrival in Paris and
possibly in response to greetings at
Brest, wherein he will attempt to cla-
rify confusion in European opinion,
resulting from attacks on the league in
the United States
Wilson at the time said such a state
ment probably would prove necessary
to offset the effect of reports on
events here during his short stay at
Washington.
Secretary Tumu1ty today denied re-
ports from Paris that censorship was
holding up news of opinion on the
league to prevent its reaching the
peace conference.
