No analogy is afforded by Napo-

the objection to making a martyr

The fogbound plane was believed to
have sufiicient fuel to carry it to the
Azores. but the fog undoubtedly pre-
vented 1t from continuing the trip in

the surface they are dumb beyond a

The plane itself can hear all that

Crew Anxious to Proceed.

BY the Associated Press.
The NC-4 averaged ninety miles per

Lieut.. Commander Read. made the
flight in thirteen hours and eighteen
minutes.
The three American seaplanes for a
considerable time after their start
from Trepassey few virtually to-

ahead.
Commander Read looked to be in

When about zoo miles from Corvo

and fog. This continued to the end.
His plane few at an altitude of 1900
feet; then was compelled to come
down close to the water owing to the
fog.
No Mishap on. Way.
There was no mishap or untoward
occurrence during the passage, and
the NC-4 was found to be in perfect
condition.
The members of the crew had no
sleep, but nourished themselves fair
ly well on sandwiches The men
were all fit and anxious to continue
on their voyage to Europe.
Commander Read said the NC-1 had
made a landing at sea close to Horta.
but the NC-3 had not been heard from
for considerable time. He was of
the opinion that possibly she had
gone on to Ponta Delgada.
During the early part of the fight
the seaplanes were favored with full
moonlight, and they met three steam
ers on the way.

Senator Johnson Would Have
President Send Text of
Covenant and Treaty.
SUPPORTERS CONFIDENT

The opponents Of the league of ma
the peace treaty are ready to fight at
the fall of the gavel when the Senate
meets in extraordinary session tomor-
row.
Senator Hiram johnson Of Cali
fornia, who is opposing the league as
proposed. plans to introduce tomor-
row a resolution calling upon the
President to send 70 the Senate with
out further delay the complete text
of the peace treaty. including the
league of nations covenant. which
has been drafted in Paris.
Says All Should Know.
He insists that the Senate and the
American people should have the full
est information in regard to just
what the treaty contains. SO far, he
says, the Senate and the people have
been kept in the dark as to many
items that the treaty contains.
OF course, the President may de-
cline to send the text of the treaty,
even If the Senate adopts the John
son resolution. But Senator John
son feels that he should make the
effort to have it laid before the Sen
ate. he said yesterday afternoon.
Opponents of the league have
gained new confidence in the last few
days in their ability to prevent its
ratification In its present form. and
some of them go SO far as to say
that the proposed league will never
be ratified in any form.
Expect to Avoid Amendments.
On the other hand. the supporters of
the league are counting upon being
able to prevent any amendments
being made, and to prevent its sepa-
ration from the rest Of the treaty.
They say that in the last analysis only
one democrat, Senator Reed Of Mis-
souri,. will oppose the treaty, and they
count upon twelve republicans to
stand by the league and resist all eff
forts to amend 1t. When 1t comes to
a vote upon the ratification of the
whole treaty they believe that many
of the republicans who are now sug-
costing amendments to the league
constitution, having lost out in that
fight, will vote for the treaty.

To Resume Journey Today.

PONTA DELGADA. May II (by the
Associated Press).-The NC-4, whose
objective was Ponta Delgada, is now
sheltered in the 'harbor at Horta, where
she arrived at 1925 Greenwich time
(9:25 am. New York time). The COM
mander Of this plane deemed 1t wise to
alight because of the unfavorable
weather. after making what is be-
lieved to be a record long distance over
seas trip. The NC-4. it is announced.
will resume her journey to this port
tomorrow. weather permitting.
For ten hours the NC-1 and NC-3
were out Of touch so far as Ponta Del
gada was concerned. Their positions
were located by means of directional
wireless after the lapse Of that period
Of time. The radio sending distance
of the seaplanes while on the surface of
the water is not more than fifty miles,
indicating that the destroyers are in
wireless touch not far away.

Aroostook Sails for England.
TREPASSEY, N. F.. May 17.-Ar-
rival of the NC-4 at the Azores
aroused great enthusiasm at the
naval air station here today, but
caused no surprise. as every one at
tached to the base has felt supreme
confidence that at least one of the
big aircraft would be able to make the
long hop" successfully.
Some anxiety is felt for the NC-1
and the NC-3. but it is believed their
crews are in no serious danger unless
they have strayed far from the de-
stroyer patrol posted all the way across
the Atlantic.
The mother ship Aroostook sailed
late today to catch the planes at
Plymouth. England. leaving only the
Prairie and the Hisko to refuel anv
guardships which may call here on
their way back to their home sta
tions.
The crew of the DESTROYER Ward
which arrived here today, reported
sighting the three seaplanes last
night, the NC-4 leading by about four
miles. In the distance the lights on
the planes CLEANED like stars and all

visible in the bright moonlight and

The last message from this ship

CANNOT RETAIN PRICES

Speaking before the Kansas Live
Stock Annual Convention at Hutchin-
son, the president of the association
said:
Livestock producers cannot expect
to maintain war-period prices for
meats, and with the return of condi-
tions to a peace time, utmost precau-
tion should be exercised by the farm
ers and stockmen in the production
and marketing of meat animals.
"We have every reason to expect a
wonderful revival of home industries,
and that a vast amount of state and
national improvement work will be
started We may reasonably expect
that the American wage will be pro-
tected, but we cannot hope to main
tain for any length of time war-period
wages, and neither can we hope to
maintain war-period prices for our
meats"
President Donaldson declared he
was opposed to government owner
ship and control, because such move
ments tend to Europeanize America"
and are undemocratic.
