BRITISH ARMEN
REACH IRELAND
IN OCEAN FLIGHT
Gross the Atlantic in Sixteen
Hours and Twelve Min
utes in Nonstop Trip
By Associated Press.

London, June 16.-The final goal
of all the ambitions which flying
men have ventured to dream since
the Wright Brothers first rose from
the earth in a heavier -than-air ma
chine, was realized yesterday morn
ing. when two young British officers,
Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant
Arthur w. Brown, landed on the
Irish coast after the first nonstop
fight across the Atlantic ocean.
Their voyage was without acci-
dent and without unforeseen Incl
dent, SO far as can be learned. 1t was
a straightaway clean-cut flight
achieved in sixteen hours and twelve
minutes-from New Foundland to
Clifden, Ireland, distance of more
than 1900 miles.
But the brief and modest descrip-
ton which comes from the airmen
at Clifden tells of an adventurous
and amazingly hazardous enterprise.
Fog and mists hung over the North
Atlantic, and the Vickers-Vimy BIZ
plane climbed and dove, struggling
to extricate herself from the folds of
the airplane's worst enemies. She
rose to 1900 feet, swooped down
almost to the surface of the sea, and
at times the two navigators found
themselves flying upside down only
ten feet above the water.
Before coming to earth near the
Clifden wireless station Alcock
circ1ed the wireless aerials, seeking
the best spot to reach the earth. But
no suitab ground was found, so he
chanced it in a bog.
The wireless staff rushed to the
aid of the aviators. They found
Brown dazed and Alcock tempor-
arily deafened by the force of the
impact AS soon as they were able
to be escorted to the wireless station
they telegraphed the news to their
friends, then had breakfast.
THAT is the best way to cross the
Atlantic" said Lieutenant Brown
after he had eaten.

PEACE TREATY
UP THIS WEEK
Senate Will Also Continue
Discussion of League
of Nations

Washington, June 16. Senate
discussion of the Peace Treaty and
League of Nations, promising to con-
tirue all this week and indefinitely
thereafter, transcends in interest
and importance all events expected
to come before Congress this week.
> The Treaty debate probably will
begin tomorrow and is expected to
rival in partisan intensity and ora
tory all past discussions of the sub
ject. The resolution of Senator Knox,
Republican, of Pennsylvania, pro-
posing that the Senate declare it's
dissatisfaction with the Peace Treaty
as now framed and especially with
Interviewing of the League of Ma
tions with the portions of the Treaty,
is to be the vehicle for the debate.
Senator Knox will open the fray for
supporters of the measure ard vir-
tually every senator present. Re-
publican and Democrat, is expected
to speak on the resolution. Demo-
Gratis carefully have laid plans in
opposition, with several promising to
express their opposition in every
possible form, some even proposing
a filibuster.
A vote during the present week
on the Knox resolution generally is
deemed improbable. Several sena-
tors. including Chairman Lodge, of
the foreign relate committee, do
not plan to return to Washington
until late this week or early next
week, and a vote is not expected in
most quarters before the succeeding
week, with some Democrats in IA
vor of preventing vote entirely If
possible.
While the Senate is engaged in in
ternational discussion, the House
plans to clean up the appropriation
bills needed by July 1.

WAR STUNTED
MANY CHILDREN
Saddest Sight in Europe,
Declares DR.. Vernon
Kellogg

New York, June 1.-THE saddest
sight in Europe to-day is that of the
children of eight and ten and twelve
years of age who look and act like
children of four and six and eight
years." says DR.. Vernon KellogG,
who recently returned from a tour
of Europe for the American Relief
Administration.
"They have been underfed for
four years." continues DR.. Kellogg.
MANY have died; many are war or
phans. The parents of many are
absolutely destitute. Mal-nutrition
has weakened them; has retarded
their growth and development Their
feeble voices cry to the world for
help"
Herbert c. Hoover, director gen.
eral of the American Relief Admin
istration, set aside for children's re-
lief work in Europe $2,000,00O of
the S100,00O.000 appropriated by
the United States Congress for re-
lief work in the war desolated
countries of Europe. To expend this
S2,0OO,00O, the American Relief Ad-
ministration has establihsed spe-
cial Children's Relief Bureau. De-
Kellogg writes in a bulletin issued by
the American Relief Administrations:
From its own funds, added to by
grants from the impoverished gov
ernments of Eastern Europe and by
gifts from private charity, the chill
drens bureau is trying to furnish
free food to the destitute and de-
bilitated infants and adolescents of
the newly liberated peoples of Flu
rope; to save and rehabilitate the
next generation of Eastern Europe.
But much more money than now
available is necessary if more than
a small fraction of the suffering little
ones are to be cared for. Therefor
the American Relief Administration
announces that it is willing and
anxious to receive and expend for
this purpose any money confided to
it by an charitable organization and
persons interested. Such money will
be used for work in any denoted
country or region which is accessible
to it, or if so indicated, will be used
at the discretion of the American
Relief Association wherever the need
seems greatest"

LAKE SHIPYARDS
WILL HAVE SIG
BOATS OUT SOON
Construction For the Govern
ment Started in Sep
tember 1917

Detroit, Mich. June 16. - When
the shipbuilding program for 1919
is completed in November, the yards
of the Great Lakes will have turned
out complete 526 vessels since Sep
tember 1917, when construction for
the government was started. OF this
number 447 will be cargo carriers,
and the remainder tugs, including So
of the seagoing type, $50 feet long.
The lake yards were going at top
speed when the armistice was sign
ed in November. 1t was during TINS
month that a record was established
by completion of 2S ships. Between
the signing of the armistice ana the
opening of navigation approximately
100000 deadweight tons of shipping
was produced in the lake district.
The first of a fleet of 40 oil-burn-
ing freighters being built i'm the De-
troit district will soon be on the way
to the Atlantic coast. They will be
of the same tonnage as the coal
burning carriers built for the United
States shipping board.

LIVE STOCK MARKET


CATTLE.-Receipts have increased
this week. The bulk of the supply
has been made up of Gamers, mixed
stuff, butcher cattle and common
southern yearlings. The market on
these grades has been very slow, very
best selection declining 25c per cwt.
for the week, with the commoner and
especially the medium weights show
ing decline of 25c to SOC per cwt.
Killing steers have been slow SELL
ers, despite the fact that they have
not been plentiful and today it took
some extra good, well-fatted, 400
pound northern steers to sell at $14.-
80. The rank and file of beef steers,
conservatively, steady, can be called
25c to Acc lower for the week. While
stockers and feeders are steady, not
many are coming and not many are
wanted.
| HOGS.-The situation in respect to
this department may be likened to a
grabbing. One day you can grab a
good market, the next day rotten
one. There is no telling from day to
day what's going to take place. In
spite of this cratic condition we have
had some mighty good markets. Last
Saturday another new record was es-
tablished, of $21.95. Yesterday, how
ever, the market went down to $21.35
level, but reacts in good manner to-
day with best heavy hogs commanding
top of Splits. There is only one
complaint to make about the market
and that is when receipts get too
heavy the market gets too mean, and
at abnormally high prices it is only
natural to expect such condition to
exist. Nevertheless, there is a
mighty good demand for pork pro-
ducts, and the question as to values
during the immediate future depends
entirely upon how seriously the coun-
try views the situation. Southern and
southwest hogs are selling to good ad-
vantage where they are fat, of good
quality and have weight, and selling
very close to the best northern hogs,
and where they are of the quality to
show northern blood, they are bring
ing prices parallel with the best ma
tives.
SHEEP.-This trade has been bur
dened by liberal run and the mar
ket has sagged to the lowest level of
the year. Very best lambs at this
writing are not bringing more than
$1625 per cwt. and it takes extra
well fattcd good quality lambs to
bring the prices. A week ago the
same grade of lambs were selling
from $3.50 to $16.75. Fat sheep
holding steady; best grades up around
$3.50.
