NO FOUL PLAY
Indicated in Death of Man Found in the
Brunswick Woods.

Brunswick May Ia. States Attorney
G. r. Powell Of Island Pond stated yes
terday that he was satisfied that foul
play had not occurred in connection with
the death of the unknown man whose
body was found on lonely logging road
few miles from this place Sunday
morning, An autopsy performed by DR..
B. H. Stone of Burlington revealed no
foul play.
Several lumbermen have viewed the
body in an effort TO establish identity,
but none could do so. 1t was at first be.
lieyed the body might be that of Dan
Mclean, who disappeared some time ago,
but that possibility was disproved.
The body was buried yesterday by the
town of Brunswick, and there is no
chance that the mans identity will ever
be discovered. The conclusion reached is
that he was one of the many casual log
ging men who are constantly disappear
ing after securing little money.

'C-5 is EXPECTED AT
ST. JOHNS THURSDAY
If the Coastal Flight Proves
Satisfactory the Gre a t
Airship Will Immediately
Start Out on Long Jump.

Chatham, Mass, May 14.-The C-5,
flying 1000 feet high, passed over the
air station here at 1905 a. m. The ball
loon was ascending as she disappeared
over the course followed by the seaplane
NC-4.
Weather conditions were ideal and the
C-5 was apparently going at top speed.
Montauk Point, n. Y, May 1.-THE
navy dirigible C-5 left here to-day on a
fight to st. Johns, n. f., which may be
followed, if the coastal flight proves sat
isfactory, by attempt to fly across the
Atlantic.
The balloon took the air at 5 a. m.
and promptly attained her maximum
cruising speed of so miles an hour, which
was expected to drive the big bag" over
the 200 mile course to Newfoundland in
"a hours.
Under command of Lieutenant Com
mander Emery W. Coil, the C-5 took a
northeast course expected to carry her
over the naval air station at Chatham,
Mass, and thence along the New Eng
land and Canadian coasts TO ST. Johns
There Fighter -than-air' experts, put
ashore from the cruiser Chicago with
spare parts, tools and supplies of intia-
tion gas and fuel, await the "Blimp,"
ready to assist in preparing her for a
possible 3,000-mile nonstop cruise to the
British Isles.
There was possibility, naval officers
said, that the route of the NC, heavier
than.air machines via the Azores might
be followed, reducing the longest Jump"
to approximately 1900 miles by making
stop at Ponta Delgada. Adoption of
this route would give the dirigible the
benefit of the warship patrol established
for the seaplanes, the plan being to start
the C-5 on ~,r eastward passage after
the NC expedition has reached Europe
or at least has completed the Newfound-
land to- Azores leg of its cruise.
When the C.5 took the air south
wind was blowing at Is miles an hour
Although no official announcement was
made of the balloons destination, 1t was
stated that radio messages had been sent
to the temporary base at St. Johns and
to the Chatham, Mass, Bar Harbor and
Portland, Me-, naval air stations to be on
the lookout for her A general wireless
intended to reach ships at sea, also an
nounced the start Of the fight.
The "Blimp" was taken out of her
hangar at 7 o'clock after a tuning up"
crew had worked throughout the night,
following her successful fight yesterday
to New London, Conn.
Services of 300 sailors were required
to haul the dirigible, buoyed up with
100000 cubic feet of gas, out of its han
gar and walk" it to the beach
Five men, in addition to Lieutenant
Commander Coil comprised the C-5's

Washington, May l4-0fiicials here
do not believe that renewed efforts by
the British government to secure an
agreement calling for the pooling Of for
mer German merchant vessels will be

Wilson had changed his mind on the sub
iect
The United States has 564, 900 tons of
German shipping, including some Of the
finest and largest of the former German

MAY BE GOVERNMENT CRISIS.
Division Of Opinion in Germany Over the
Peace Terms.

Paris, May IA tHayas) Commenting
upon the meeting of the German nation
al assembly in Berlin, the French news
papers point out that underlying an ap.
parent unanimity against the peace
terms were characteristic indications of
division between the government and
the members Of the assembly. In view of
this the newspapers express belief that
German government crisis may be i'm
minent.
As to the speech of Philip Scheide-
mann, the consensus of opinion anpng
the commentators is that his attitude
resembles that of a convicted individual
whose punishment becomes imminent.
The newspapers declare that neither his
interested appeals to pity nor his dis
guised threats win impress the entente,
which, united in peace as in war, viii re-
qnire the strict fulfllment Of the peace
treaty.
