Lisbon Is Navy Schedule
Start Next Week Settled
Exact Date Not Disclosed
but Hour Is Fixed at
Z O'clock in Morning

The three giant naval seaplanes-
NC-1, NC-3 and NC-4-will starr from
Rockaway on the first leg of their
fight across the Atlantic Ocean next
week. This fact was announced yes
terday by Commander John H. Towers,
oficer in command of the NC Seaplane
Division l.
While Commander Towers refused to
state the exact date, he admitted the
start would be made early in the morn
ing of the date chosen, probably about
o'clock. Plans for the flight are so
arranged that landings at the terminals
of each lap will be made during day
light.
The route was also officially an
nounced by Commander Towers. It
follows:
Naval Air Station, Rockaway, to
Halifax, N. S., distance $40 nautical
miles. Halifax to Trepassey, N. F., dis
tance 400 nautical miles.
"Trepassey, N. F., to Horta, Island of
Fayal, Azores, distance 1900 nautical
miles. If conditions are favorable sea-
planes will continue to Ponta Delgada,
San Miguel, Azores, and stop there in
stead of Horta. Additional distance,
100 nautical miles. Total distance
from Trepassey to Ponta Delgada, 1850
nautical miles.
Actual Sea Flight 2,15O Miles.
"Ponta Delgada to Lisbon, Portu-
gal, distance 500 nautical miles. The
actual transatlantic flight will be re-
garded as from Trepassey to Lisbon.
No effort for undue haste will be made
in getting to Newfoundland, this part
of the trip being regarded as in the
nature of trial fights.

ceed to Plymouth, England, distance,
IT'S nautical miles. The average speed
of the seaplanes, disregarding wind,
will be about sixty-five nautical miles
an hour"
Arrangements have been made to
have base ships with necessary gaso-
lene, oil, etc, at the various ports
named above. (Note.-A nautical mile
is 1.15 statute or land miles)"
The NC-4 made highly successful
maiden flight of forty minutes yester-
day morning. The craft took off with
wind of twenty miles an hour while
carrying a total load of $4,000 pounds.
This is the first time such a load has
been lifted with the wind.
1t the seaplanes leave Rockaway at
Z o'clock in the morning it will mean
they will descend in Halifax Harbor
at $3.50 o'clock the same afternoon.
Night Flight Unavoidable
The flying time from Trepassy to
Horta will be about eighteen and a
half hours. AS the boats are flying in
q general southeasterly direction, they
will be running in daylight, due to the
difference Of time. Should they leave
in daylight it would mean they would
fly through about seven hours of dark
ness.
Arrangements for presenting meteor
illogical data to commanders of the
seaplanes have been perfected. The
forecasts made from this date will de-
termne the flying dates of the ships.

Thanks L. S. for
Aiding Nation
Peter Says American Red
Gross Has Turned Tears
of Refugees Into Smiles
of Joy; Ruler in Greece

ATHENS, April 27 (By The Associated
Press) liking Peter of Serbia, who is
living quietly alone in a little subur-
ban retreat overlooking the Bay of
Piraus, six miles from here, expressed
through The Associated Press, the "pro-
found gratitude of the Serbian nation
for the Christian charity of the Amer
lean people so marvelously organized
by the Red Cross"
The venerable monarch, who will be
seventy-fve years old in June. spoke
with great feeling of the assistance
given by Americans to the population
Of Serbia and to tens of thousands of
wounded soldiers who since the arms-
tice have poured into the country over
every road and mountain pass
"The smiles which the American Red
Cross has brought to the faces of nv
people," he said, "are the best ex-
pressions of gratitude I can give the
American nation, for chose smiles are
but the reflection of hearts and souls
touched by the kindness and charity
of a greater people,"
King Peter was prompted to speak
from Major Daniel J. Mccarthy, of
Davenport, Ia, in charge of Red Cross
relief work at Skopolje, Serbia. One
showed group of ragged, barefooted,
despairng women and children in
front of the Red Cross relief station at
that place, and the other showed the
same group after having received
baths, clothing, and food from the Red
Cross. One was picture Of misery
and detection, the other of content
ment and joy.
"You have dried tears, assuaged sor-
row, and alleviated the sufferings so
painfully depicted on the faces of our
mothers, sisters, and children" said
the King.
Grateful to America
"Personally, am profoundly CRATE
ful for this Christian charity" he con-
tinued. Gas one sprung from the
people. and indeed a part Of them I do
as they do, and simply say to the
American people: Thank YOU. thank
you, with all my heart The Serbian
nation will ever be grateful to the
generous givers of the United States
who have made, and are making, the
wonderful work Of the American Red
Gross possible. In every city of Serbia
TO which the American Red Cross has
carried its message of help and SYM
pathy, barefooted, hollow checked. and
broken hearted Serbian people have
been converted into new human he
llngs, and their sufferings and sorrows
have given way to comfort and happi-
ness"
