Thousands Crowd to Harbor

(By Associated Press,

PONTA DELGADA, May 21.-En-
gine trouble caused the postponment
today Of the flight of the NC-4 from
Ponta Delgada to Lisbon, which it had
been planned to start at daybreak.
The crew boarded two hours before
sunrise to tune up the motors, after
making three unsuccessful attempts
to take off with one engine functioning
improperly. Lieut.. A. C. Read decided
that 1t was too late to remedy the
trouble this morning in order to make
the flight to Lisbon in daylight hours.
Thousands Of persons who crowded
the decks OF ships in the harbors and
vantage points on the water front,
were disappointed at the failure to
start. Commander Read Is confident
that the engine trouble is not import
ant and that 1t will be remedied in
time to begin the fight to Lisbon at
daybreak tomorrow, weather permit
ting.
Carries Burden of Flight.
Crowds of souvenir hunters who
tried to get pieces of the NC-3, the
flag ship of the fight, which is moored
in the harbor here, made it necessary
for the naval authorities to issue or
ders that the ships be guraded day
and night.
The burden of carrying through the
flight which gave such splendid indi-
cations of success, until the three
planes ran into a fog of the Azores
early Saturday morning, was shifted
solely to the NC-4 yesterday with the
announcement that the NC-1 had sunk
and the NC-3, flag ship. had been so
severely damaged she then was being
dismantled preparatory to shipment
back home.
The distance to Lisbon is about nine
hundred miles and it is stated the trip
should be made in ten hours, thereby
night flying unnecessary as
was the flight from Trepassey to the
Azores.

TENTH NOTE REcEIvEn

The definite statement that Germany
will not sign the peace terms as they
were presented to her p1enipotentia-
ries at Versailles Is made by the Ger.
man cabinet through The Associated
Press.
Statements along a somewhat SINH
lar line by President Ebert, Premier
Scheidemann and other Germans in
high place have preceded this one.
Meanwhile European dispatches show
that Germany's representatives are
still endeavoring to secure modihca-
uons Of these terms. Thus another
note was sent yesterday by the Ger
man peace commission at Versailles to
the secretariat of the peace confer.
ence. This Is the tenth communica-
ton forwarded to the allies by the
Germans since they received the peace
terms. The contents of the note are
not as yet known.
Today or tomorrow the German rep
resentatives are expected to transmit
to the allies acomprehensive state
ment on Germany's attitude towards
the peace treaty as a whole, specify
ing what points they accept and what
they desire to have modified. The
fifteen day time limit for them to make
known their standpoint expires Thurs
day. Up to yesterday, at least, the
prevalent opinion in Paris seemed to
be that Notwithstanding all their pro-
tests, the Germans ultimately would
sign the treaty.
