message.
Details of the mems experience on
the plane in the forty-cight hours
spent in fog and storm were expected
soon after the y. ca, reached Pon,a
Delgada.
The report VAS taken here to mean
that Commander Towers after hav-
!ns hean forced TO alight on the water
had been driven northward and casts
ward by the storm until he was en-
abled to tack 10 safety on the surface
probably 500 miles from the point
where fog forced him down when

cause Of a disagreement with the

tempting to invade their ncighbor's

1t seems improbable that the allies
and associated governments will sup
port with food any bolshevik attempts
TO invade adjacent states, The allied
proposal was a frank attempt TO end
the lighting around the borders OF
Russia and at the same time To save
the Russian people from starvation. II
the bolshevik persist In trying to de-
stroy law and order outside or Rus
sia proper the allied attitude will no
doubt be TO vote for no peace and no
food.
