British Admiralty, which was
blamed for not furnishing the
aviators with sufficient weather
data. Incomplete forecasts,
given Hawker Sunday. and
based upon the reports of
American battleships and de-
stroyers broadcasted for the
use of the American flyers en-
route to the Azores, led the
British flyers to believe condi-
tions were propitious.
The arrival of the Ameri-
cans at the Azores also served
to goad on the British aviators,
who desired to win for Eng
land the credit of being the
first to cross the ocean in the
air.
According to information
brought in from midocean by
steamers cruising the Great
Circle track, between Cape
Race and ireland, over which
Hawker expected to ly, severe
storms occurred Sunday night
and Monday. 1t was generally

believed that the Sopwith ma
chine encountered these and
was forced to descend into the
sea
Another theory that was ad-
vanced was that the fliers had
dropped into the sea shortly
after getting under way and
before they had time to COM
municate with ships or land
stations by radio.
Experienced airmen, who
followed the progress of the
Sopwith venture, estimated
Hawker and Grieve's chances
of crossing as to 100 and
their chances of being picked
up, if forced to alight in the
ocean, as even less.
The north Atlantic, at the
time of the Jump Off" was
filled with floating ice, the
temperature of the water at
Trepassey Bay, where the
American base was established,
being slightly above freezing
on the fateful Sunday.

According to data on file at en-

that the 311th was coming on the

included in the list of units sent by

BOOKS THAT HAVE HELPED ME.

Never have books been more plentiful
than they are today The output IS so
astonishingly large that one sometimes
wonders who are the readers Of the
numberless volumes that constantly
flow from the press Among this null
titude Of books there are many empty,
commonplace, platitudinOus, and POSI-
lively dangerous and wicked books. To
read any Of these useless, meaningless,
tepth-rate books, written by men and
women whose incapacity IS a sea with
out a bottom and without a shore, IS
an inexcusable manslaughter upon
time.
II Is said that new novels are being
published at the rate Of five a day In
that fact young readers should see the
need OF q careful discrimination. why
read an utterly poor and meaningless
book when a lifetime Is too short to
read even those that are really good2
There are many books In the world full
Of high and pure thoughts In which
the boundless realms OF beauty and OF
wonder and Of power in the universe
Of God are unfolded for our instruction
and enjoyment-books like priceless
treasures full Of wealth more golden
than gold" which are open even 10
the humblest and poorest. In the wise
reading OF books such as these we
may find q purer and more exquisite
delight and helpfulness than in almost
anything else.
II would be diflcult task for a life
long and industrious reader Of good
books 10 tell just what books have
helped him more than others. He has
so many books with which he has made
friends and from whose perusal he has
drawn so much pleasure and instruc-
ton. Foremost among the helpful
books OF the world, however. must
stand the Bible. More than any other
