SISTER OF SOPW|TH
FEARS HAWKERLOST
Mrs. E. Burd Crubb Praises Avl-

NAVAL OFFICER AGREE S

Mrs. e. Burd Grubb, sister of Tom y
sopwith, inventor of the plane in which
Harry Hawker attempted to cross the
ATLANTIC, believes that the fight is a
wonderful exhibition of courage.
Hawker ''took a long chance, she
said, and she fears he has lost.
Mrs. Grubb. who lives with her
daughter in law at Edgcwater Park.
n. j., is anxiously awaiting news from
london. but holds Cut very little hope
for the safely of the aviator who dared
the adventure.
Lieutenant T.. Burd Grubb, son,
who is with the British army. met
Hawker and Sopwith in England last
fall and at that time they were planning
TO make the nonstop flight across the
ocean.
''If Hawker has had TO descend to
the ocean, | think the chances Of his
surviving are against him, said Lieu
tenant Arthur Male, navy flyer station
cd Mt League Island. after the heavy
engine sinks just below the surface of
the water. the planes Of ship are so
constructed that they will keep the ship

clinging to the wrpckage of his plane.
Major Charles Riddle. American
''ace" and commander Of Il squadron
overseas for many months. was of the
same opinion. II understand that
Hawker's plane was not built for flight
over water. and that the route he has
taken is unfreQuonted by vessels. and
that his wireless apparatus has n range
of little moro than two hundred and
fifty miles. If that's tho case. his
chances are pretty small if anything
goes wrong with his engine. I'd prefer

formerly in the army who have been
entirely withdrawn from industrial or
agricultural activity.
The reply also makes an emphatic
rejoindPr to the German complaint that
the loss Of the German merchant marine
will throw out of work thousands of
German merchant seamen. The Allies
answer is that the destruction of mer
chant ships. chiefly by German subma
rincs. has had the unfortunate effect
of limiting the opportunities for work
of seamen throughout the world, the
allied powers being the greatest suf-
ferers. 1t adds that there clearly is no
reason why Germany should be eX
empted from its share of the economic
disadvantage growing out of this de-
struction of merchant ships.
The reply on the economic objections
is regarded as one of the best documents

sons attribute it to President Wilson.
The council of four is finding the
partition Of Turkey a difficult problem.
