Washington, May f7.-One Of the
three American naval seapIanes
which set out last evening from
Newfoundland in the first attempt
at a flight across the Atlantic ocean
still was missing tonight; another
was riding at sea, off Corvo island,
200 miles from the island of Fayai,
Azores, her crew safe on the rescue
steamer Iona, and the third was
safe at H0rta, FayaI. after estab-
fishing record flight for heavier
than lair machines.
The missing plane is the NC-3,
flagship of Commander John Henry
Towers. commander of the squadron,
but the fact that the last report
came from her at Sis o'clock this
morning, Washington time, did not
cause naval officials to entertain
any apprehension for the safety of
Commander Towers and his crew of
four. The last message from this
ship showed her off her course in
fog some $50 miles from FayaI
and naval officials believe il was
only the mist bank which enveIoped
the sea around the Azores thruout
the day that prevented all three Of
the planes from reaching port on
or ahead of schedule time.

prevented him from seeing this point.
The fog belt apparently extended 100
miles northwest Of the NC-1's position.

gone off his course previously between

out that the fog virtually insured

regarded IS guaranteeing the safety Of

was said. the machines would be able to
resume the flight.

Both Of the fog bound planes were
believed to have sufficient fuel to carry
them to the Azores but the fog undoubt
edy prevented them from continuing the
trip in the air. The $. @. S. call from

This probably accounts for the delay
in finding them in the fog 4 destroyer
must pass within . miles To hear their

goes on about them in a 1eomile circle,
but cannot answer. 1T was pointed out
that a fog heavy enough to drive the
air boats down would serve 10 blind

after Q o'clock this morning aboard the
cruiser Columbia at Horta. But for the
fog that clamped down on the NG4 as
it sighted Pico heights across from IIor

States Steamer Melville before noon,
today, and been ready to jump again to-
mo-row-this time for Lisbon, the city
marking the end of the actual flight
over the Atlantic
It was generally believed that Com
mander Read would start for Lisbon at
his earliest opportunity. HGrta to Lis

airship would be forced to make a land.

FINANCE AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased wirsl

NEW YORK. Jan. 2S.-Trading in stocks today was largely influenced by United States steel. whose direc- tors were to meet after the markets close to approve the financial state ment for the last quarter of 1918, and act on the common dividends.
 During the first half of the session United States steel rose and fell with in circumscribed limits. but moderate buying Of that stock as well as kindred issues and rails. imparted a strong tonel ater, although steel forfeited the best part of its large fractional gaIn at the end.
 In keeping with general expectations. the extra dividend of steel was re duced from to ] per cent thus plac- ing the stock nominally on a nine per cent basis. The quarterly statement. disclosing surplus of barely s3,000, 900 IS of itself sufficient explanation for the cut in the dividend
 Other features of the stock market embraced the belated inquiry for rails.
 Oils Followed their usual cratic course. and independent steels also hardened with affiliated equipments, motors and hide and leather preferred
