 TO COVENANT OF THE L. OF N

Washington, May 25.--A plea that the republican party accept the ques- tion of q peace league as a party issue and oppose as a unit, the league cove nant was reiterated by Senator Borah, republican. of Idaho, in a letter he made public here tonight.

 "No political party ca nlive,' Senator Borah wrote. which refuses to take a position on the great problems of na- tional existence. And the republican human slavery and preserve the union, is the party above all which should be vigilant to protect the untrammeiled independence and the unchallenged sovereignty of this nation If it fails to do so, some other political party will take up the task" The Idaho senator declared the dem
 ocrats already had taken party stand
 in favor of the. league.
 The second night before the presi- i dent left for the second time for our ] foreign capital he called his party or
 2anization in consultation. the letter 1 continued One need not speculate as i to what took place. The able and i faithful chairman of the party hasten i ed from the White House to the first l public rostrum and announced the po- sition of the party and denounced all
 who opposed the league as doing so for party reasons

REJOICING IN ST. JOHNS
 OVER SAFETY OF HAWKER

St. Johns N. F.. May 25.-Messages from London today announcing the safety of Harry G. Hawker and his navigator Lieutenant Commander Mackenzie Grieve, spread through thIs city as rapidly as the airmen swept over it week ago, starting the trans Atlantic flight attempt which provided a seven-day mystery.
 Rejoicing was general, but was perhaps greatest among the group of British aviators who had been pre- pairing to follow in the Sopwith plane's uncertain wake.
 Captain Frederick P. Raynham. who was stopped in his attempt to follow HaTker by the collapse of his Mar tinsyde's under carriage. had held firmly to the belief that Hawker and Grieve would be found somewhere north of Scotland. The basis of his opinion lay in weather reports upon which he and Hawker jointly decided to start and in subsequent reports Of storm areas shown north of the Azores on the last map which flaw ker saw before hopping off"
 This storm assumed the form of an egg extending northwest from the Azores.' said Raynham. ''That meant that Hawker would first en- counter northeast winds. then east erly winds, then a strong set of winds from the south, those from the south being continuous and stronger thar the others. .- t.. These would have blown him north onto the course which the Mary presumably followed"
 Unloading of the parts of the Vimy bomber which is to attempt the trans Atlantic flight was virtually complet- ed today Captain Jack" Alcock, pii ot of the Vimy entry. said he expected to have his twin engined plane ready
 to fly before the Handley Page whict 1 has been two weeks under assembl at Harbor Grace. The Nimy will b' assembled at Quidividi. Raynham hay | ing offered the use of his airdrom' : for that purpose.
