General Menoher and his remarks

Precautions against spying by the
enemy"-nOW presumably the Eng
lish-have been as great at the naval
air base at Rockaway Beach during
preparation for the transatlantic
flight as they were at all airdromes
during the war.
Hundreds of men are working day
and night on the N. C.'s-Navy-Cur-
tiss seaplanes-one Of which, at least.
it is hoped. will complete the trans
ocean journey.
1t has been impossible to get into
the barbed wire enclosure here with
out a special permit with the own
ers photograph attached.
Rockaway Beach is forsaken spot
on a big sand bar that projects from
Long Island out into the mouth of
New York harbor. On it during the
past six months has been built a
huge camp. There are workshops,
barracks, a gas-making plant, pow
err house, wireless towers, three big
hangers for the planes and a shed as
roomy as Carnegie hall for the
"blimps.'
The base is reached by a three
mile government road built across
the sand dunes.
One of the planes was being taken
out for a trial tOweu ny tractor
when L reached the spot. The officers
and three mechanics were aboard.
The 15-ton seaplane fully loaded, was
resting on a wheeled cradle and was
quickly hauled to the shipway and
launched into the bay.
With a roar like an express train in
tunnel the four Liberty motors
started up and in less than 80 sec
onds the ship was sailing through the
air.
Once well aioft one of these huge
planes looks no more impressive as
to size than an ordinary two-seater.
There is nothing to compare it with.
They are appa "nntlv as steady as
the Leviathan. At the turns the
tons Of wings, sloeI and machinery

Great Cross in Skies
SfartIeS New York CITY

Thousands of persons in the City
of New York were startled few
nights ago by the spectacle of a great
cross suspended against
the night skies. 1t was centered on
the moon, the upright and the cross
piece being plainly defined in unearth-
ly beauty against the darkness.
The moon itself was like globe
of solver light, intermittent clouds
yelling its brightness every now and
then. the cross remaining in silver
clearness behind the clouds. - Later
"a great rainbow span Of light sprayed
out from the cross as a center and
many. persons believed they were
looking upon a holy and mysterious
symbol.
The weather bureau explained the
phenomenon, however, as an imper-
of the rays of light by the icy partl-
cles in the high-flying clouds.

and tried to recover them, Miss Doris
Heller, a 22-year-old student at ST.
Luke's Training School for Nurses

badly injured to move and lay there
all during a severe storm, shouting
and praying; but no help came. She
finally managed to crawl along the

ing, where a Waterman found her.
She is now in the hospital.

Belgium has the most rigid
postal censorship that remains
since the war. The reason? So
many Germans in Belgium and so
many spies among them. 1t takes
about a month for letters to pass
through the censorship. Though
the German army of occupation is
gone, there are thousands of Ger
mans remaining, many of whom
to escape deportation. Three
trainloads a day are being sent
out through Holland, as military
restrictions prevent direct depor-

that the printed draft of the peace

In the meantime the minor details

them the credentials of their govern
ment. e.- ".. @..
No time. was wasted in. CONVERSE
ton, the meeting being of the brief
j est possible time. About five min
Germans. Count Won Broekdorf Rant
Eau, German foreign secretary, seem
overwhelmed with a sense of Ger
many's defeat and, doubtless, the at
mosphere was such as to make him
many stands, as the peace parleys
will emphasize the fact that this is
''victor's peace" No conversation
ION the part of the Germans will be
permitted except where actually re-
quired.
The outlook at present is that there
may be real peace by the week be-
ginning May 81.
In a preliminary meeting of the
~louncil of three on Friday, it wah
fecided that Germany must give up
tkher cable lines, and the lines viii
remain in the hands of the five great
powers until an agreement is reach
ed as to their disposition. This is
Virtually the same plan as was
adopted in connection with German
ships.
Some objections are being made in
Paris to some of the councils deci-
sions, the Chinese delegation having
issued a statement declaring that the
action of the council in regard to
Shantung merely substitutes Japan
for Germany and gives Japan control
of additional railroads in Manchuria.
The Belgians, too are discontent-
ed because they have not obtained
the rights they demanded over the
control of the Scheldt river or ter
ritorial concessions iE the Dutch
province of Limburg and in German
Maestricbt.
