.BLlMP DEPARTS ON
NEWFOUNDLAND TRIP
C-5 LEAVES MoNTAUK ON
SCHEDULE TIME.
Dirigible Can Make Seventy
. Miles Per Hour With
Wind.

Montauk Point L. l., May 14.-Q.
N. S.)-The big navy dirigible C-5
left the Montauk naval air station
at s o'clock this morning in an at
tempt to fly to st. Johns, n. F., with
out stopping.
Weather conditions were excellent
when the balloon lifted anchor. A
south wind, blowing at the rate OF
fifteen miles an hour, will aid the
dirigible in her test fight.
There was no official announce
ment that the "Blimp," as the dirigi-
BILE is called, was headed for New
foundland, but it was learned shortly
after her departure that the radio
station here had notified stations at
Chatham, Mass, Bar Harbor, and
Portland, Me, to look out for her.
A message announcing the departure
of the balloon was also sent broad.
cast, to be picked up by all ships
along the coast, and also to radio
stations.
Personnel of Crew.
sT0ffMers of the station, gathered
around and shook hands with the
crew. Lieut.. Com. e. w. Coil, of
Marietta, O., the commander and pi.
lot, was the first to get into the bas-
ket. The others in the crew followed.
They were:
CoXswain, lieutenant, junior grade,
f.. O. Campbell, Lynn, Ky; pilot,
lieutenant, Junior grade, ]. b. Law
renee. ST Paul, Mimi; radio operator,
ensign M. II. Estorley, Youngstown,
O., engineers, chief machinist mate
G. H. Blackburn, Walker Mimi. and
T. l.. Mooreman, Lawyers, Va.
AS he entered the basket, Lieut.
Campbell said;
God be with us till we meet
again"
1--WE will be with the seaplanes
yet" said Commander Coil. and he
gave orders for the dirigible to move
off.
Ordinary Speed Fifty Miles.
The "Blimp's" ordinary speed with
no wind is about fifty miles an hour,
but with the wind favoring her as it
did at the start, she is expected to
average between siXty-fve and sew
enty miles. If she meets with no
accident, and flies directly to st,
Johns. her course will be only 900
miles in length, and she will reach
her destination about o'clock to-
night. She is expected to anchor at
Quidi Vide, just outside of st. Johns.
The C-5 carried enough gasoline to
make n trip of 1900 miles. She has

Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau
may go to Berlin this week to confer
with his government and get material
for new protests against the treaty.
The chance that he may not return
seems to give satisfaction to the al
lies.
Behind the activities of the Ger
man delegation lies one definite mo-
tive and one supreme objective, COM
pared with which their present ges-
lures are superficial and meaningless.
The purpose animating their atti-
tude concerns the Saar Valley.
In that matter, the allies expect a
serious situation. On the subject Of
the Saar, Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau's most violent pronounce
ment may be expected,
The big four, working with the for
e1gn ministers, disposed yesterday Of
the Austrian boundaries, and ordered
their inclusion in the treaty as a bar
to the union of German Austria and
Germany. The summary already sent
of the Austrian treaty made the
clause much less severe than does the
actual instrument The terms read
substantially as follows: mo union
with Germany or other nations shall
be effectuated without the consent
and approval OF the council of the
league of nations" Germany is pre-
pairing to attack this provision as be-
ing destructive OF the right OF self
determination, and of course Austria
viii take the same position. German
resentment of the treaty is seemingly
strong beneath the surface, but there
are indications that after strenuous
protest the commissioners will sign
the document.
No action has yet been taken In the
matter Of the trial of the former
kaiser His legal status seems to be-
come greatly involved the more it Is
studied.

Paris, May 14.-(A. PD-Renewed
efforts are being made by the British

Washington, May 14.-(A. P)-Offi-
cials here do not believe renewed
efforts by the British government to
secure an agreement calling for the
pooling of former German merchant
vessels will be successful. Opposi-
ton by the United States when the
proposal was first advanced defeated
the British plan in the supreme eco

today there was no reason to believe
President Wilson had changed his
mind on the subject.
The United States as $4,000 tons
of German shipping, including some
of the finest and largest of the for

350,000 tons OF American shipping was

tanned by the United States and paid
for in the final settlement of the
country's claims against Germany.

GERMAN NOTES
HANDED big 4
First Calls for Oral Discussion
Peace Treaty-0thers Re-
fer to Mooted Questions.
ALL WILL BE REJECTED
Understood That Council Has
Disposed of Austrian Ter
- ritorial Claims.

Paris, May 14.-Q N. S.)-Three
lengthy German notes were handed tc
the big four this morning and they
began immediate consideration OF
them.
The first dealt with the German re-
quest for oral discussions of the peace
treaty.
The second related to substitute
plan for the disposition of the Saar
valley based on division of the coal
fields.
The third demanded freedom of in :
tercourse with Austria.
1t is expected that all three will
eventually be rejected.
The big four are understood to
have decided. upon all territorial
questions in the Austrian treaties
save the disposition of the Adriatic
littoral. This relieves the American
delegation of all responsibility as
President Wilson has already made
his position clear in this respect and
the Americans are resting on that.
Both President Orlando of Italy,
and Baron Sonnino, the Italian for
eign minister, have called upon Col.
r. M. House during the past twenty
four hours but it is understood that
no progress has been made toward
the settlement of the troublesome
Eiu1ne question.
The Austrian peace envoys are ex-
pected to arrive today and it is now
likely that the treaty will be handed
to them by next Wednesday.
The Austrian credentials will be ex-
amined by a commission composed of
M. Cambon of France, and Henry
White, of the United States delega-
tion.
