BEATS 81 OTHER STARTERS
Lieut.. MosIey Burns the Breezes at a
Clip of 179 Miles an
Hour.

Mineola, N. Y.-Flying at a speed
Of virtually three miles a minute,
Lieut.. G. C. Mosley, plotting an Amer
lean made Verville-Packard army
plane, won the first Pulitzer trophy
aeronautical race here against a field
of 81 starters. He covered the course
of slightly more than 1872 miles in "A
minutes, 20 $1,000 seconds, an aver
age speed of approximately 178 miles
an hour.
Officials of the Aero Club of Amer
lea, which conducted the race, first
having estimated the course as lao
miles in length, announced immedi-
ately after the race that Moseley's
average speed was 1884 miles an
hour, a new worlds record. However,
a careful re-scaling of the official
map showed that the laps were
slightly more than 80 miles in length,
instead Of 35s. the average speed on
the corrected length being cut down
10 miles an hour. 1t is expected that
survey of the course will be made
in order that exact computation may
be established.
The present worlds aviation speed
record is held by Sadi Lecointe, win
ner of the recent Gordon Bennett
trophy race in France, who averaged
1877 miles an hour in a special con-
test at Villa Coublay, near Paris, 10
days after he won the international
trophy. In the Gordon Bennett race

averaged slightly more than 1859 miles

KNOX NOW ASKING
PEACE TRADE TREATY
Democrats Deny Senate Has Right
to Urge New Treaty After
Rejecting One.

Washington, April 2S.--Senator Knox
Yesterday completed the redrafting of
the peace resolution adopted recently by
the House and will present it in amended
form to tho Senate Foreign Relations
Committee today or tomorrow. As drawn
by Mr. Knox the resolution is much shorter
than the House draft and, in his opinion,
much less complex.
Lack of a quorum IN the committee may
prevent action today, Chairman Lodge
said last night. He and other committee
members hoped, however, that it would
be possible to agree on a favorable report,
In expectation of early committee action

gan cxpediting legislation as much as

bills will not be held up unduly. Sena-
tors are insistent that nothing be allowed
10 stand in the way OF n recess early in
June. as those who are not directly in
terested in the national conventions have
political concerns at home which they
wish to look after.
Senator Knox was not ready last night
to make public the text of his resolution,
but gave an outline of its provisions. II
first repeals specifically the joint reso-
luton declaring war on Germany, and
restores the status quo ante bellum as
between the United States and Germany,
using the language of the House resolution
in this regard.
The resolution then requests the Presi-
dent to begin negotiations with Germany
for the restoration of friendly relations
and commercial intercourse; in other
words, for a treaty of amity and com
merCe.
The third provision Is designed to pro-
tect the financial claims of American
nationals against Germany and German
nationals by tying up all money and prop
erty in the United States belonging to
German nationals which were seized
and are now held by the Alien Property
Custodian or other Government agents
This property cannot be returned to its
original owners under the resolution unlil
all claims of American nationals have
been satisfied in full.
A fourth section retains for the United
States All the rights guaranteed by the
arInistice terms and the Treaty OF Yer
sailes until such time a a permanent
arrangement has been entered into be-
tween the Government Of the United
States and the German Government.
The final provision is for the repeal of
all war legislation. and on this point tnc
Language of the House resolution is used.
