St. Johns, n. F.. May 19--No word

Atlantic flight of Harry G.. Hawker
Australian aviator, and Commander
Mackenzie Grieve in their Sopwith
plane, had been received here up to
7:30 a. IN. C6 u. m. New York time)
today.
NaVigators and aViatorS here early to-
day sought the weather reports received
from vessels in mid-ocean to learn un-
der what conditions the daring British
ers are making their nonstop dash to
the Irish coast in an attempt to beat
the Yankee air sailors. Every indi
cation pointed to favorable observation
conditions. with high visibility from II
clear sky and a full moon only four days
old
Atmospheric conditions improved dur
ing the night, according to reports re-
ceived here. For the first two hundred
miles quartering headwinds prevailed
but for the next thousand miles be
yond a light west wind obtained. Except
for a report of unimportant low pres
sure over Ireland, all messages received
indicated generally improving weather
conditions.
1t was calculated by navigators here
that Hawker and Grieve would meet the
sun about 4:23 O'Clock this morning. ap-
proximately at 81 west longitude. This
was assuming that the fliers would
maintain a speed averaging 100 miles
an hour. Hawker expected to average
1O6 miles an hour. The little Sopwith
biplane carried sufficient fuel for a
% hours flight under ordinary condi
tons. and enough for "a hours if very
good weather favored it. Hawker's
machine also carried a wireless trans
mitter capable of n 25O-mile radius.
Captain Frederick p. Raynham. whose
attempt to join Hawker in his dash for
nonstop honors and make race of it,
met with accident, inquired several
times during the night for news of his
rival, and expressed the hope that Haw-
ker and Grieve would attain their OBJ
jective.

Marie Rose Lander.

Mademoiselle Marie Lauder was
the speaker on the Redpath Chau-
tauqua platform last Thursday af-
ternoon. Mile. Lauder is young
lady of surprising charm and in
telligence, and her audience was
captivated at once by the thrilling
narration of her life during the
great war.
She was attending school in a
French convent at the outbreak of
the war and was taken from the
convent by German soldiers. Soon
after her capture she escaped, only
to be taken captive again soon after.
At last, through the superstition Of
the Germans that she was an Ameri-
can girl, she obtained passport and
was able to reach America by means
of it.
