DEsTRoYERs BREAK LINE
sy Associated Prsss

Washington, May 16-The American naval seaplanes en route on the first at tempt to reeach Europe from Amereica by air passed station ship No 6, the de- stroyer Ward, 300 miles from Trepassey bay, at 02:05 Greenwich time G0:05 D. Iii. Washington time), according to a mes sage received late tonight by the navy department.
 The dispatch to the navy department was sent by the Ward to the U. s. S. Prairie at Trepassey Day, which in turn relayed it by radio to St. Jonns, N. F.. whence it reached Washington by cable and telegraph The means of sending the message back indicated that the U. $. S. Aroostook already had lert Trepassey and that the destroyer line behind the swiftly flying planes was rapidly break ing up.
 delayed message over the same route said the planes had passed station ship No. ~ sos D. m., flying with F min utes difference between the passing of the first and the last of the trio. The NC-1 was leading when station ship No. 3, the destroyer Buchanan, was passed.
 Navy officials estimated the speed made by the seaplane division up to the time they passed station ship No at 70 miles an hour. At that rate they would reach Ponta de Gado about on the schedule of 19 hours, or o'clock tomorrow after noon, Washington time
 The radio station at Barr Harbor, Me. intercepted direct messages from two of the seaplanes shortly after midnight. One message. picked up at 12:27s o clock, was from the NC-1. calling station ship No. 9. approximately 800 miles from Trepassey bay.

MILITARY RANK FOR. NURSES DEMAND OF. STATE ORGANIZATION
Young Women Serving In American Army Hospitals Are Not Fairly Treated
 They Claim

The Alabama State Association of Graduate Nurses yesterday afternoon at a meeting of it's executive board at the Tutwiler hotel made arrangements for the immediate organization of state wide committee to push bill in Congress providing the relative rank of major, captain, first and second lieu tenants for the nurses of the army nurse corps. A committee on organi- zation was appointed. consisting of tho following named persons: Miss Mary Denman Miss Mary B. Walker Miss Helen MacLean, Miss Catherine Moul- tice Miss Julia Dainwood and Miss Bertha Clement
 Those present at the meeting were: Miss Mary Denman, president of the association; Miss Bertha c. Clement, secretary of the association: Miss Helen MacLean, secretary of the ex- .amining board: Miss Catherine Moul- trice, Miss Mary B. Walker and Miss Julia Dainwood.
 The army nurses now returning to America in such numbers" according to Miss Bertha c. Clement, the secre tary of the state association, in speak ing of the action taken. seemed to be agreed that the American war depart ment has been highly inconsiderate of ftS nurses. 1ney went broad prepareu to 50 without luxuries and comforts, but they all bitterly resent the uu- necessary hardships which they have been made to suffer The British nurses have been perfectly taken care of. They are all classed as officers, and the Australians and Canadians have rank. This fact insures courtesy and respect for them from subordinates and superiors alike and also from the public. They are not discrim ina ted against when travelling It would be impossible under British management for British nurse to be turned away < from a hotel4as scores of our American nurses have been on the ground of their not being officers.
 'Fx-President Taft was nursed from death to life in an army hospital in the Philippines. What he saw there made him realize the army nurses need for rank and he is the head of the national committee which is now ask = ing Congress to give rank to the nurses.
 This measure has the support of the organized nurses of the whole country and will be pushed by them at the coming extra session of Congress. Alabama nurses may be counted on to do their part in this work for the valiant women soldiers of the American expeditionary ferces.".

ANXIOUSLY AWAIT NEWS

Washington, May 16.-With three naval seaplanes winging through the night from Trepassey Bay, Newfoundland, to the Azores on the most difficult leg of the first attempt at an air flight across the Atlantic ocean, Navy Department off cials stood guard here tonight over the radio instruments awaiting word of the airships' progress
 The official reports from Trepassey said the three seaplanes--the NC-3, NC-4 and NC-1-had started at 6:06, 6:07 and 6:09 m., Washington time, respectively. Commander John H. Towers, flight com mander in the NC-3 leading. At u:3s clock, approximately five hours later, no further word had come from the sea- plane division No news was taken as good news, however, and officials believe the flyers at that hour had covered more than one-fourth of their long journey to Corvo Head, Azores, more than 1000 nau- tical miles from Trepassey.
 The planes barring accident, probably ere in radio communication at I:3O O clock with the destroyers of the second group of the bridge of ships that point the way across the sea. These are the Ward, Palmer. Walker, Thatcher and Crosby, which have been rolling and trmbling far at sea for more than week awaiting the coming of the air machines. By searchlight beams, red fire bombs hurled high in the air by antI-aircraft guns, and by deck flares as well as by radio waves, men of the fighting ships that broke the German submarine block ade tonight were giving every aid to their comrades in the air, bound on peaceful invasion of Europe.
 DESTROYERS KEPT BUSY
 The, little destroyers all along the line were busy. They were playing vital part in the great experiment in trans oceanic communication and had little time to send word home of what had transpired Reports showing how far the flyers had progressed were looked for at any moment, however.
 When the seaplanes. swept eastward from Trepassey, the department promptly broadcasted the news to the world that the attempt at transatlantic air flight actually had been begun. In matter of minutes, American naval folk all oyer the world had the news Secretary Dan iels at sea on the transport Mount Yer non, undoubtedly heard it, and Admiral Benson in Paris and Rear Admiral Knapp in London got the flash, as did officers and blue jackets on the fighting ships everywhere.
 Promptly on the start, also, announce ment went by radio along the lane the flyers were to follow leaping from de- stroyer to destroyer by radio all the way to the Azores. Twentysd five ships heard it and flashed it along the line. In an hour and forty-one minutes it had been relayed clear to Ponta del Gado, Azores probable landing place of the planes, early tomorrow afternoon. There the message was committed to the cables and it took more than two hours to bring it to the naval communications of flee in the navy department. The line of destroyers had been tested as well as warned. however, and found intact, each ship waiting to do it's full share to make

man peace plenfpOtentiaries to the allied and associated powers, said to deal with the question of AIsace- Lorraine, is in course of prepara- ton by the Germans.
 
 That the allies are preparing for the eventful day when the Turks are to be reckoned with in n peace treaty is indicated by the fact that British, French, American, Italian and Greek warships, with landing parties, have begun n great con- centratiOn at smyrna, Asia Minor. Allied troops also are being massed at SalOniki. The concentration at smyrna is connected with the man. date given to Greece by the peace conference to administer the af- fairs of the Turkish seaport, while the belief is expressed in Paris that the meeting at SaIoniki is con- nected with the enforcement of the peace terms to be presented to the OttOmans, which, it is thought probable, will include a demand that the Turks leave Europe.
 The peace negotiations with Tur- key, and also with Bulgaria, are expected to take place in Constan- tinOpie, Saloniki or some other city in the near east.
 The Chinese cabinet is reported to have rendered it's resignation, which President Hsu Shih-Chang is said to have declined to accept. The conference at Shanghai, at which endeavOrs were being made to arrange a peace between north ern and southern China, has broken up.

 The council of foreign ministers Is continuing it's labOrs on the de- tails of the Austrian peace treaty connected with the question of new frontiers. The treaty, it is under stood, will not deal with the dispO- sitiOn of DaImatia, Istria or Fiume, merely calling for Austrian renun- ciatfOn of right to these territories. The Italians and JugO Slavs, with American mediation, will settle the question of the former Austrian domain between themselves if pend- ing negotiations reach success full conclusion.
