British Air Ministry
Puts All Ships on Alert

London, June 1.-THE British air
ministry today wirelessed all ships
that the Vickers airplane had start
ed Its trans-Atlantic flight at 4:13
p. m, Greenwich time. and asked
that the flyers be given any as
sfstance necessary.
The big dirigible R-34. which will
soon attempt a flight to America,
was scheduled to make a long trial
trip tonight for the purpose of
testing its wireless apparatus.
The British rigid dirigible R-34.
which is to attempt the trans-At-
lantic round trip. will not leave
England until about June 20. ac-
cording to a statement issued yes
terday by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels.
The R-34 will land at Mineola
Field, Long Island. where 1t will be
resupplied with gas, fuel and bal
last. The landing will be directed
by American aviation officers and
the United States will furnish all
the supplies, including oil, hydrogen
and gasoline.
The stay of the R-34 on this side
of the Atlantic will be brief.
There is not on this continent a
dirigible hangar large enough TO
house the English R-34," said Dan
iels, "and the visit of that vessei
to our shores must be curtailed be-
cause of the possibility of the snip
being wrecked in the event OF oao

league was incorporated in the pact
solely through President Wilson's ef-

POSTAL SERVICE
Continued Protests Against
Burleson's S Administration
Stirs Congress to Action.

Congress yesterday gave evidence
OF its intention to learn something
definite about the country's mail
service. A resolution to inquire
into reported heavy losses of parcel
post matter will be used as an en-
tering wedge to obtain information
about the whole mail service.
Hearings on the resolution are
scheduled to start Tuesday before
the House Postofice Committee.
The Postofice Department includ-
ed in its appropriation estimate one
item which was designated to take
care of losses paid On nondelivered
parcels post packages. Committee
members, many of whom have been
flooded with complaints against the
postal service, have determined to
go to the bottom of the situation,
Chairman Steenerson asserted.
The investigation. members believed,
cannot be classed as partisan since
pressure for explanation of the poor
service has come from civic bodies
and corporations as well as indi-
viduals.
A subcommittee already has been
named by Chairman Steenerson to
probe orders Of the Postmaster Cen
eral which, Steenerson declared, had
the rural mail delivery
service in some localities. Its men,
bers, while not participating in the
investigation Of the mail service, will
