From Each Side
Set for April 10
Short Brothers Preparing
for Start From Ireland,
and Sopwith Plane Is to
Try From ST. John $, N. F.

LONDON, April I (By The Asso-
ciated Press) The airplane of the
Short Brothers, one Of the entries for
the 100000 race across the Atlantic,
will start from Ireland for Newfound- :
land on April 16, weather permitting.
The airplane is expected to make the
journey in twenty hours.
Special CORES pondcnce
ST. JOHNS, n. f., April THE
work of rigging the Sopwith airplane
in which Harry G. Hawker and Lieu
tenant Commander Mackenzie Grieve,
British aviators, are to attempt flight
across the Atlantic, continued to-day
and was practically complete tonight
except for the installation of the wire
less equipment. which may take three
or four days. Then the machine will
be taken up for trial flight, and if
the engines and gear are working sat
isfactorily the journey to Ireland Will
begin early next week provided the
ground is in good condition for a start.
The weather continues discouraging.
From last midnight all through to-day
heavy, slecty rain continued soaking
the ground and rendering any move
ment around the hangar impossible.
Every days continuance Of these con-
ditions means further postponement
of the start.
Meanwhile the Sopwith party are
much concerned over the impending
arrival of the Martinside machine, due
here at the end of the week The
Martnside people will house their ma
chine in a tent, and under the spur Of
the advantage of the Sopwith delay,
both flights may be brought off about
the same time.
Newfoundland airmen who served on
the Western front and who have re-
turned here are dubious about the sue
cess of either of these machines, be-
cause of their small size and the strain
upon the physical and mental powers
of only two occupants Of a machine
on twenty hour flight across the
Atlantic under conditions in which no
satisfactory navigation knowledge is
possible, and the liability to storms
also is great, owing to absolute igno-
rance of meteorological conditions in
that area. These flyers are more hope
full of success by the large Handlcy
Page or Porte machines, which will
attempt the Atlantic flight month OF
two later. The Sopwith people. how
ever, are confident and are only worried
over the adverse weather conditions.
The meteorological expert main
tanned here by British authorities is
getting about forty messages daily
from ships all over the Atlantic and
from coast points in Canada and the
United States to assist him in making
his predictions as to when and under
what conditions the fight should be
started. Everything points now to the
attempt being made with the new moon.
about April 16, if the ground is firm
enough.

No Agreement Reached on
Preparations or Other
Issues; Tension Evident

PARIS, April 7 (By The Asso-
clated Press) - President Wilson's
orders that the United States trans-
port George Washington proceed
Immediately to French port have
aroused much comment here. and
are even construed by some officials
as preliminary to determined
move to force an agreement at an
early date by the peace conference.
AS is usual in such cases. various
rumors were soon in circulation, and
before night one report was current
that the President had delivered an
ultimatum to the effect that he
would withdraw from the confer
ence unless an agreement was
reached within forty-eight hours.
1t is confidently asserted bv those
close to the President that he did
not contemplate any such action. bnt
the same authorities have no hcsj-
tation in declaring that the Presi-
dent has made his position plain on
the questions at issue, and it is be
lleved that his determination to ad-
here to this position is fixed.
The summoning of the George
Washington will place the President
IN such position, it is pointed out
that he cannot be embarrassed bv
having to wait fer his transport
should the time come when he might
wish, owing to failure of the peace
delegates to agree or unwarranted
delay IN finding settlement Of the
peace question, to Withdraw from
the discussions.
One of the Americans summed
up the situation saying: "The
chances are favorable to an agree
ment, but we have not agreed yet
The principles which seem to be
settled are that reparaton and res
toration shall be in accordance with
the Presidents seventh and eighth
points and the Allies reply To the
Presidents note, and also that the
actual damage and destruction shall
be the main basis for estimating the
damages, and that the commission
shall formulate categories or classes
of these damages. Payment is to be
spread over period of years, with
out specific total being fixed, and
the initial payments will probably be
required within the first two years.

The report of the commission, Of

transmitted to the Legislature tonight
by Governor Smith, with the commits

report recommends that its duties be

In place of military training for

ALBANY, April 7.-Senator George
F. Thompson charged tonight on the
floor of the Senate that he had per-
sonally been offered ''up to five hundred
thousand dollars" if he would vote for
the Martin streetcar rate bill and use
his influence in its behalf as chair
man of the Senate Public Service Com
mission.
The charge was made when Senator
Thompson, rising to question of per-
sonal privilege, said that none of the
other members of the Senate were in
volved.
What he added to this explanation
started a two hours row on the floor Of
the Senate, which at times rang with
the angry cries of several Senators try

Thompson. "The question of the lobby

James j. Walker, of Manhattan, who
forced the investigation, to know if
Senator Thompson would reveal the
name of the bribcr to the Senate Jul

"lf this is an investigation intended
to shove this question to one side I
shall not reveal the name" said SEN
ator Thompson. II want to know that

This added more fuel to the flames.
At the end of two hours of noisy de-
bate, Senator Alvah w. Burlingame, ir.,
of Brooklyn, moved that the Senate
direct Senator Thompson to reveal at
once on the floor of the Senate the

SeapIanes Welcome Victor

As the heavy pail began to lift
squadron OF seaDlanes rose from the
waters Of Rockaway and circled over
the Mauretania. Then out of the
harbor came an orderly procession Of
all types OF war craft the very types
that doomed the German submarine
campaign to ienominious defeat
Simultaneously from land, sea and
sky the thunder of guns doomed forth
vigorous welcome, and all the naval
craft dipped their colors in homage to
the victor
The transport reached the Narrows
at about o'clock There another
thunderous welcome was doomed forth
from the guns of Fort Hamilton and
Fort Wadsworth. From the inner bay
another procession of craft appeared.
This time they came with the official
representatives of grateful America,
and with the family Of the returning
commander
On the bridge Of the Mauretania Ad
mlral Sims stood and carefully scanned
me oneom-ne craft, and finally max
ing out the naval yacht Aramis, he
held his glass upon it until he picked
out the figures Of his wife and three
children.
