America Is First Across the Sea
In the AIR.

American sky sailors in American
airships have performed for this coun-
try the exploit long dreamed of. They
have crossed the ocean from one con-
tinent to another, flying. Lieutenant
Commander READ and his crew, land
ing in Lisbon harbor with their Navy
Curtiss seaplane, take the high honor
Of having accomplished, for the United
States and its navy, something great
that had never been done.
This will be beaten. Man will fly
not only from Newfoundland to Ire
land, but from the Battery to Cher
bourg. But in aviation progress is
gradual and this leap, or succession
of leaps taken by the NC-4 is the
best progress ever made in the con-
quest Of thin air by weighty man and
his servants wood, steel and gaso-
lene. To raise by its own power If
teen tons of solid matter from the
earth was wonderful twenty years
ago, but now We see 1t propelled
across the Atlantic in three jumps
upon the impalpable rails of space,
and buzzing along faster than a
frightened hurricane.
The navy's plans call for a further
voyage to Plymouth; but SO far as
history is concerned the great page
was written when READS seaplane
came to rest yesterday afternoon. A
trip to Plymouth would satisfy our
English cousins curiosity about the
craft that did in three jumps a little
more than the ambitious HAwKER
tried to do in one-and gloriously
failed in the attempt.
Credit for their parts in the vic
tory over gravity, storm, fog and me-
chanical caprice must be given to the
makers Of the airboats; to the Navy
Department, which arranged the test
and protected the fliers; to Com
mander. TOWERS, who captained the
fleet until his plane was crippled; to
BELLINGER, most luckless Of the three
shippers; to all the men who started,
whether they finished or not. The
brightest laurels are with READ and
his crew, Of course, and the cheers of
the Portuguese must sound well after
long hours with roaring motors. They
had great job to do and, in spite of
the unlucky spirit that seemed to
dog their first attempts, they did 1t
90 well that they are immortals.

A Denial That q Negro Soldier Was
Lynched in Blakely.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-sir: In
THE SUN OF May 81 appeared a COM
munication from one William II. Holden
Of New London. Conn.,, vilifying this
city because Of an alleged ,ynching of
q negro soldier. Inasmuch as the story
Is absolutely untrue I would thank
you to secure from your correspondent
his authority for publishing this Islander
upon our people.
The same story recently appeared in
the Philadelphia Public Ledger and was
called to my attention and I then ex-
posed its falsity. w. w. FLEMING,

A despatch from Louisville, KY,
says that "the historic old Gait House.
has passed forever as a hotel and will
end its days as a warehouse. The Gait
House was Dickens hotel" one of
the hotels to which the novelist re-
ferred in American Notes" OF It he
wrote, I'VE were as handsomely
lodged as though We were in Paris.
DICKENS was generous in his praise
OF the American hotels at which he
stopped on his first visit to this coun-
try. Some OF these were Barnum's
of Baltimore. the fremont of Boston.
the Carlton House OF New York and
the Planters OF st. Louis. These have
all disappeared. although the name OF
the last is still preserved. The only
Dickens hotels of which the buildings
remain are. perhaps. the Gait House
and the West Point Hotel.

Wisconsin has grown to be "of vital
Importance in the production of food;
at least OF SO great importance that
the language quoted is used by the
Wisconsin Legislature in a resolution
on the subject adopted and referred
to Congress. Some imperfectly in
formed persons. perhaps those OF the
Atlantic and Pacific and Gulf shores,
may have supposed that the claiming
industry had to do exclusively with
salt water and tides. with pretty sto-
ries of the late '70s and early SOS.
with shore dinners and inside politics.

"
Citizens are warned to keep on the

wagon Is making run to a IRE. The
vehicle is--capAbls OF great speed. and the
practice OF running to the middle OF the

the other two members were TAIAAT
Pasha and DJEMAL Pasha-who
seized the control Of Turkish affairs
some time before the war and held
1t until utter defeat and collapse be-
came inevitable.
The trio aligned Turkey with Ger
many against the advice and counsel
Of other members OF their own Gov
eminent, and ENvER ordered upon his
own responsibility the hostile act that
brought Turkey into the war. ENvER
is said to have killed q member of
the imperial family who opposed his
policy; many other Ottomans who
the trio feared might develop into
formidable opponents Of their rule
were mysterlously removed. The
blame for the massacre Of the Greeks
and Syrians has been commonly
placed upon DJENAL Pasha, and the
responsibility for the killing of the
Armenians and their deportation to
death and starvation in the Syrian
desert upon TALAAr Pasha. But
these murders could not have been
perpetrated without the consent of
ENvER. 1t is upon him as the head
Of the ruling power that the present
Sultan places the entire response
bility. With the defeat Of Germany
the trio fed; ENvER was reported to
have been seen in Berlin and after
ward in Switzerland. 1t was EVIL
IDENTIFY a skilful piece Of detective
work that finally traced him to his
refuge in the Caucasus mountains.
The new Turkish Government in
its efforts to show that 1t intends to
avenge the massacre Of the Armen-
ians recently hanged one of ENvER's
satellites, KEMAL Bey, the Governor
of Diarbekr. 1t has, too, q number
Of supporters of the war Government
In prison awaiting trial. What may
possibly be Turkeys controlling mo-
tive In seeking the return of ENvER is
the fact that by looting the strong
boxes he left, as the Sultan declared,
San empty national treasury" Clvili-
cation, however, demands that the
murder Of thousands Of helpless men,
women and children in Asiatic Turkey
shall be thoroughly and accurately
investigated, and that ENvER Pasha,
his associates or whoever may be
found guilty of the horrible crimes
shall be punished.

The Fugitive Turkish War Lord.

A despatch from Washington based
upon "advices through official chan
nels" reports the discovery Of ENvER
Pasha among the Tatars In Trans
Caucasia. 1t adds that ENvER is
wanted by the allied authorities and
Turkey for theft and wholesale MUIR
der; to put this more specifically, the
former Minister of War and actual
ruler of the Ottoman Empire, If he
can be brought out Of his hiding place,
will be tried on the charge of looting
the Turkish treasury of about $125,-
100000 and Of causing the death of
approximately 100000 Armenians,
Greeks, Syrians and other non-Mos-
lem people.
ENvER's rise to power and his drop
from the dictatorship and supreme
control Of the Turkish Empire to q
Tatar encampment In the Caucasus
and the position Of hunted criminal
make up the most remarkable life
story of modern Turkey. AS a re-
ward for faithfulness in service
around the Yildiz Kiosk old ABDUL,
HAND promised ENvER's father, who
was a carpenter of STEAMBOAT, that
his son should be educated as an
army officer. Curiously enough, the
Red Sultan kept his promise, and the
youth whom he befriended became
the chief factor in his overthrow.
ENvER rose on the tide Of the Turk
ish revolution from a captain to the
leadership of the Committee of Union
and Progress. From this It was nm
easy step to dominance in the trIo-

In Control.

Paris.-Bela Kun, head of the Hun,
garian communist government, has
been ousted, according to dispatches
from reliable sources in Vienna, re-
ceived by the peace conference
Troops returned from the Czech
front were reported entering Budapest
In large numbers. Budapest is in dis
order.
Herr Boehm and Herr Lander have
taken over control of the communist
government
Dispatches reaching peace confer
ence circles from Budapest indicate
that general decentralization has
struck Bella Kun's army, which is
struggling back from the different
fronts with utter lack of discipline.
The breakdown in the spirit of the
troops is attributed to discontiruation
of the fighting against the Czechs and
the Roumanians in consequence or the
armistice and to the hasty increase OF
the well drilled loyal army of 10000
to more than 125.000 men.
Reports from the same source re-
ceived by peace delegates are to the
effect that Bolshevism in Hungary is
confined almost exclusively to Buda-
pest Peasants are said to be OBJ
structing shipments of food to the
capital which is rapidly reaching a
desperate state.
Bella Kun was previously reported in
a Budapest dispatch to have broken
off with nearly all the soviet leaders.
Officers of the soviet army were said
to be deserting at every opportunity.
The communist leader was quoted as
having told his minister of education
that he was tired of trying to ride So
cialist and communist horses at the
same time
Herr Boehm, who has been COM
mander of the Hungarian armies, was
reported in prison in dispatch from
Vienna recently. This dispatch also
stated that Bella Kun was seeking some
excuse to leave Hungary and that he
would not return,

that of the American seamen, but for
the purpose of equalizing all wages ON

Crews deserted Dutch, Danish, Nor

said. adding that American union dele

suading the crews of several British
ships to remain at work. they not de-
string any foreign crews to participate
