London-Well informed Americans
view with increasing anxiety and
alarm the international developments
as they affect the vital interests of
the United States. These fears may
be chiefly due to the policy of mys-
terry and silence which surrounds the
peace conference in Paris. and out of
which comes flood Of disquieting
and sensational rumors. Certainly
everywhere one finds an atmosphere
OF intrigue and suspicion.
Tremendous forces are engaged in
desperate struggles all over Europe.
Imperialism and established order are
in a fight to the death with the radi-
calls and the revolutionaries. The

THE TURKISH EMPIRE

sibIy Six, Parts-Ask United
States to Rule.

Paris.-After the arduous labors
of commissions and the council of
four, extending over many weeks,
the fate of Turkey is virtually de-
cided with the exception of possible
American mandates. The empire
will be carved into five and pos
sibly six parts, depending on
whether the Americans administer
any. None, therefore, will remain
independent. Thus the Turkish
empire will be totally destroyed as
sovereign state. Mesopotamia
and Palestine will pass under Brit
ish rule, Syria under the French,
the Asia Minor coast, where the
population is predominantly Greek,
under Greece. Armenia's future. is
indefinite. For Italy may trade off
her.claims for other considerations.

FLIES THE ATLANTIC
AMERICAN MADE AND AMERICAN
MANNED, BLAzES PATH IN
AIR OVER ATLANTIC.
COMMANDER READ, The HERO
eoo Miles Covered in Nine Hours and
43 Minutes-Eghty Knots an Hour
Delay Due to Weather and
Not to the Machine.

Washington, May 27.-Blazing the
way OF the first air trial from the
western to the eastern hemisphere
the United States navy seaplane NC-4
under Lieutenant Commander Albert
Gushing Read, swept into the harbor
of Lisbon, Portugal today, the first
alrshlp OF any kind to have crossed
the Atlantic ocean under it's own pow
er and through its natural element.
Taking the air at Ponta Delgada
azores, at 6:1S a. M, Washington time,
on the last leg of the trans-oceanic
portion of the voyage from Rockawav
Beach, L. l., to Plymouth, England.
the NC-4 covered the 800 miles in nine
hours and 43 minutes, maintaining an
average speed of better than 80 knots
an hour The total elapsed flying time
from Newfoundland to Lisbon was 26
hours and Al minutes.
Continue at First Opportunity.
AT the first opportunity the big plane
will continue to Plymouth, IT'S nautical
miles to the north. Possibly Command
er Read can start tomorrow. To the
navy department, however, it makes
little difference when he completes
the journey. The great object of all
the effort lavished on the undertaking
navigation Of a seaplane across the
Atlantic through the air-has been &C.
complished. Twentieth century trans
portat1on has reached a new pinnacle
and the United States navy has led
the way.
Naval officials emphasized that the
long delay at the Azores was due ow.
ing to the weather and to no weak
ness OF the machine or it's daring
crew, nor to any failure Of the care
fully laid plans of the department to
guide the filters to their destination
The IA destroyers strung from Ponta
Delgada to Lisbon reported with ma
chine like precision today as the flight
progressed. The plane was never off
its course and there was no moment
when officials in Washington did not
know to within a few miles where it
was in the air.

LESSONS OF ORCHARD
APPLIED TO WOODLAND

prepared by the United States
Department of Agriculture.)
Before planting your orchard
you decide what are the most
profitable varieties and plant
only those. You don't want too
great variety.
In handling the woodland 1t
is best to keep only few Of
the most profitable varieties of
forest trees and cut out the
others.
You plant your fruit trees
far apart because you want low.
spreading tops, easy to pick
from.
In planting forest trees you
don't want to pick the fruit,
so you plant the trees near to-
gether and obtain tall, straight
trees with small tops.
You prune your fruit trees In
order to get less wood and bet.
ter fruit.
Don't waste time pruning for.
est trees. because you are not
growing forest fruit but wood.
Cut out the poorer trees for
wood and leave the best ones
for lumber.
