ST. JOHNS, N. F., April 2S-Avia-
tor Harry C. Hawker and Lieutenant
Grieye have again had to postpone
their Transatlantic flight for the
Daily Mail $4,000 prize.
With all preparations out of the way
Hawker and Grieve have consented
for the first time to discuss with the
newspaper men their attempt to make
airplane history. Commander Grieve
did not predict the outcome of the
attempt to fly the Atlantic, but Hawk
er, without being in the least boast
full expressed the calm conviction that
he will land the Sopwith biplane on
the other side of the ocean. Both men
are too experienced to be ignorant of
the boldness of their attempt or heed
less of the radical difficulties that be-
set them, but if either was daunted by
what lay Immediately in front of them
neither showed it.
"On the trials here she has come up
to my best expectations as she
did in the Brookland trials, Hawk
er said.
las to ground conditions here,
am disappointed. 1 have not found
what I expected. | thought there
would be more open spaces. | am not
worried at the fog belt off New Found
land and anticipate no trouble on ac-
count of it. The local weather people
predict a fog only thirty feet high.
Once off the ground l intend to rise
quickly up ten thousand feet and hold
that until nearly home and then go fiji
teen thousand which will give me
planning radius in landing of fifteen
miles, or about one mile to each
thousand efet, with favorable wealth
err conditions.
Float for Some Time.
Asked what were the chances of
floating if forced to land in mid-ocean
Hawker said:
If we land two miles from home we
can float for week because the pc
trel tanks will be empty and they are
especially designed after much study
to be strong enough to float the ma
chine. Otherwise she will float little
while. We can pump the fuel out of
her but that is a long job. We went
thoroughly into the question of ar
ranging tanks to empty them quickly
in emergency, but that would have
meant another gadget on the machine
and besides '--ould involve danger of
fire from compressed fumes unless
equipped for elaborate precautions.
In the end we decided to leave her as
she was
Il regard the flight as a perfectly
straight away job and 1 expect to get
there. l anticipate no trouble. We
ought to land at Brooklands twenty
or twenty-one hours after we start.
We reckon it at less than twenty
three hundred miles and we have a

Hawker Plans to Land in

Flies From Canadian Shore

cruising speed of one hundred miles
until we slip the under carriage, then
about one hundred and six. We figure
it is nineteen hundred and twenty
miles to the Irish coast, then two and
half hourss flight to Brooklands.
1t is possible we may never see the
Irish coast. The weather conditions
may make it advisable to fly far south
of it.
Don't Know the Landing.
IF we do cross, it is impossible to
predict in advance where. We do not
is some good reason, but we may do
so if we are having trouble If we felt
we would not get to Brooklands we
would go down rather than limp along
for the sake of getting little farther.
Il don't look for any trouble be-
cause of physical strain. 1t felt none
absolutely after more than nine hours
flight and am confident we will feel
none from twenty or more hours. In
the war | think no fellow was up
more than ten hours, but in 1914
boche stayed up twenty-four hours.
yes, that is true, we will slip the
under carriage. 1t works on trip and
we will drop the entire chassis with
one pull in order to reduce the wind
resistance. It's weight is negligible. A
single pull will release the spars,
wheels and everything. can't say just
where we will do it. We may decide
to drop five or six miles out at sea
or may fly with the carriage two or
three hours"
Hawker explained the pair was
using larger wheels than should go on
the machine because of the big tires
needed for soft ground and the heavy
load, adding that tires of that size
were never used on service machine
and their wind resistance was great.
Our useful weight is the difference
between sixty-one hundred or sixty
two hundred full weight if loaded BIZ
plane and three thousand weight of
the plane itself. OF that thirty-one
hundred or thirty-two hundred at the
most is petrol fuel, while the rest of
it amounts to perhaps four hundred
pounds, including lubricating OIL he
said.
Discussing the directional wireless
and the discarding of his wireless
sending set, Hawker said:
1--WE will have to come to the di-
rectional wireless. 1t is a good thing,
but not developed enough yet. don't
regard teh discarding of the sending
apparatus as a serious handicap"
All Depends Upon Weather.

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
It's Natural Color and
Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use preparation improved
by the addition of other ingredients
a large bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding
lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
anG luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound lie a delightful toilet requi-
site. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention OF disease.

North Sea, explained that the exact
conditions of the flight would depend
upon the weather reports at the very
moment of starting and upon actual
conditions encountered in the jour-
ney. Taking as an example the
northwest wind prevailing at o'clock
saturday a week ago, when the start
was all but made, he said:
Under the conditions then exist
ing we would have flown six hundred
miles due east and then turned into
the North Atlantic shipping lane,
thus hoping to come into touch with
vessels, all of which are requested,
day after day by the New Foundland
government and the admiralty Office,
to give us their position if they see
us. Once striking the Atlantic lane,
we would have, and probably will if
similar weather prevails, followed a
straight away for the other side and
would have held closely to the true

line. Navigators figure that the dis

London Looks for
Another Flu Wave

LONDON, April 2S.-London scien-
lists who are observing the opera
lions of Spanish Influenza say that.
so far as the British Isles are con-
cerned, it imvves IN valves. The
country is just recovering from the
third waive within year. The dis
ease first made it's appearance here
last July and began to subside tow
ard the end of October, it reappeared,
and, by the middle of November had
apparently run it's course. The third
wave came in January, and by the
early days of March had apparently
done its worst.
Physicians point out that if the dis
ease is to remain for an indefinite
period another wave may be expected
toward the end of April, and are
warning the people to take all nee
essary precautions.

diers returning from Germany to their
homes in northern RuASia find their
fatherland vastly changed since they
went to war. Scores of these soldiers
are passing through the Bolshevik
lines and making their way to the
American and other Allied outposts.
They tell tales of pitiful suffering
from hunger in the villages through
which they passed. One of them, F.
Evlampieff of Archangel, thus de-
scribes his experiences when he re-
turned from Germany;
"At Petrograd we were sent to bar
racks, where a Bolshevik commissar
started to read us the Soviet program.
The prisoners protested.
Give us first something to eat,
and then read US your program they
cried.
Then the commissar gave up try
ing to read the program, saying we
were not fit elements for propaganda,
and he left us. Each of us received

pounds of oats daily. The second cate
CORY received IL pound. The citi-
zens grind the oats in coffee mills, to
make flour for bread. For Christmas
the Petrograd inhabitants received
two potatoes for each person. A slice
of bread is sold for % rubles. There
was no tobacco. People smoked cab
bage and nettle.
THE situation at Vologda was the
same as in Petrograd. 1t was famine
and the population stood in line for
bread sometimes for two days. There
was no private commerce The shops
were empty"
On his way from Vologda toward
Archangel a commissar tried to coax
Evlampieff into serving in the Red
Army and, on his refusal sent him
back to Vologda A peasant hid him
in load of hay and carried him to
his uncle's home in Trozk. In the vii
lage he passed through, he said
there was famine. The peasants cut
straw, cook it and make bread. Even
tually after a long journey on foot
through the snow Evampieff reached
his home in Archangel.
When such prisoners reach territory
of the Provisional Government of the
North they are cared for as well as
possible Many of them voluntarily
have joined the White Guard because
of their hatred. of the Bolsheviki.

II.I.-TNII>D IRISH PROPAGANDA

The recent appeals made by Irish-Amer1 can leaders to the senate foreign relations committee in an effort to induce that body to report untavorab1y to the senate on the ratification of the league of nations cannot but lose sympathy for the cause of Ireland. They are based on scIismcSs in 50 much as those persons making them put the Irish ir- dependence before the peace of the world.
 Every speaker mentioned as appearing before the committee is an American citizen. But without exception, each of them made his plea as an Irshman forgetting his obligations to his own country, or placing them below his love for Ireland The war practically cImnl- ated the hyphen in "Gcrman-.American, mak- ing such persons either Germans or Ameri- cans, and ii Mcssrs Walsh, Dunnc ct al, are not more udicious in their fight on the league of nations, it is altogether likely that the peace settlement will force a show down on the hy- phen in "Irish-American.
 Sober consideration of the matter must convince any reasonable man that no action that the United States might take in regard to Ireland would be of any material benefit save declaration of war against England, and the consequences of such an act are un thinkabe Senator PhcIan, from California, recently spoke in the t. S. senate on this sc1b ject, declaring: If an Irshman tells me that he would put Irish independence before the spectacle of a world bathed again in blood, the loss again of millions of lives, and the hunger disease, priyation sufferings and torture in tIicted upon millions more, 1 would say he Ina, forfeited generous consideration by an eNhi- bition of unutterabc sefishness.'
 That is ill effect, what the Irish-Ameri- can leaders have said when they say to the United States senate, Do not ratify the league of nations Because the peace conference refused to interfere in Fngland's domestic af- fairs, radical Irshmcn would have the United States refuse to join in establishing a new world order which is designed to prevent fu- ture war, and without which there is sure to come sooner or later struggle which will dwarf even that one which is just being closed.

TIME, TO ACT NOW

This season has been the poorest one in history for interior Alaska fishermen. As a result of the hghtest catch ever recorded, both native and white will suffer this winter.
 Reports from the lower Yukon river in dcate that the floating Cannery operated by the Carlisle Packing Co.,, has had a prosperous year, and 1t is generally believed, and with some foundation for such belief, that it is the operation of that cannery that has been large ly responsible for the shortage of fish on both the Yukon and Panama rivers.
 The lower Yukon plant was established two years ago CoinCdent with it's establish ment, local interests called to the attention of the department of commerce the importance of the fish supply to the people of interior Alas ka and asked that steps be taken to insure the safety of such supply from depredations by the canners.
 It seems apparent that either the depart ment failed to take adequate steps, or else the cannery has gone beyond the limits set for it's operation, and the latter case is unlikely as department agents have been on the scene all season. But whatever the reason may be, the catch of fish this year proves that the Cannery cannot be served without depriving the peo- pie of the interior of needed supplies. A few
