Completing what the air pilots de-
scribed as one of the most gruelling
flights of the trip, the four Army De
Haviland planes, Seattle, Boston, New
Orleans and Chicago arrived at Sew
ard yesterday afternoon at gil direct
from Sitka, dropping gracefully into
the water and taxing to their moor
ings within a few minutes after being
sighted. The long trip of nearly 600
miles from Sitka to Seward in seven
hours and 26 minutes, was one Of the
worst the airmen had experienced on
their trip, snow squalls, rain, hail, and
tremendous winds causing the intrepid
pilots indescribable trouble. Off Males
pima glacier amid the battling air cur
rents of Mt. St. Elias was found the
worst stretch Of flying. Lieut.. Leigh
Wade, commanding the Boston, the
flagship Of the squadron on the flight
from Sitka, said the weather could not
have been worse; in fact they did not
want to see it any worse, and his com
rades voiced the same opinion.
"We're here because we're here"
said Major Martin, commander Of the
flight and pilot of the Seattle, the
flagship of the airplane fleet, as he
voiced his satisfaction at concluding
what is acknowledged to have been
one Of the hazardous legs Of the voy-
age.
Seward is before the eyes of the
world today, the news Of the fleets
arrival having been telegraphed out
to all points of the two continents by
special correspondents for outside pa
pers. Shortly before the hour an
nounced for the arrival of the planes
practically every man, woman and
child wendell their way to the beach,
the Anchorage delegation swelling the
throng to nearly 1000 persons. The
day was perfect, being bright and sun
ny with just enough breeze from the
west to ruffle the sun kissed waters of
beautiful Resurrection Bay. Track of
the flight was kept at points along the
way, radio messages reporting the fly
ers had passed the stations and giving
the time. At 2:13 word was receiv-
ed that the squadron had passed above
Latouche, and everyone was the qui
vive tense with excitement, as the
hour approached.
Suddenly the planes popped above
Fox Island and dropping to level Of
about seven hundred feet, skinned
gracefully above the water, skirting
the town side of the shore to a point
directly opposite the plant of the San
Juan Fisheries and Cold Storage, and
wheeling like flock of gulls, dropped
to the water, with scarcely a splash.
Then they TAXED to their respective
buoys located and in readiness about
200 feet off shore. The acting flag
ship Boston, with Lieut.. Wade, pilot,
and Sergt. Ogden, mechanic, was the
first to take the water, at 3:11. Then
followed the Chicago, with Lieutenant
Smith and Lieut.. Leslie P. Arnold, pi-
! lot and mechanic respectively. The flag
ship Seattle was next, with Major
Martin, commander and Sergt. Har
vey. The New Orleans circled about
once more and finally took the water
at 3:13. Lieut. Erik H. Nelson and
Lieut.. John Harding were in charge
A launch was sent out to the buoys
and the pilots came ashore where they
Immediately started refueling then
machines, preparing for the long
flight from Seward to Chignik. With
an hour or so the machines were ready

the right shore of Shelikof Strait.
Sunny skies and gentle breezes
were harbingers Of a pleasant trip
when the round the world squadron
Of Army airplanes hoped off about
9:45 this morning on the fourth leg
Of their long flight of $50 miles to
Chignik The start, which was to
have been at an early hour, was de-
layed owing to unfavorable weather
reports from Chignik and westward
points, but about $50 o'clock word
vas received that TIE weather was
rapidly clearing up and yesterdays
gale had moderated into a gentle
breeze.
The first plane to take off was the
New Orleans, No. 4, under charge Of
Lieuts Nelson and Harding This was
followed by the Chicago, the Boston
and the Seattle. Major Martin had
some trouble in getting up sufficient
speed to rise from the water, but
finally arose and joined the fleet
which arose to height Of about 1900
feet and sailed for the mouth of the
Bay, the fleet topping the peaks, on
Fox island at 1915.
Practically the entire town was at
the waterside to wish the men a
good voyage. The bay was like glass
and the sun warm. Major Martin said
this morning that the fleet would go
over Barren Islands, thence square
away down Shelikof strait for CHG
mix, which it was expected would be
reached in about five hours.
Seward greatly enjoyed the visit Of
the fleet, many residents seeing their
first plane.
The filters expect to arrive in CHG
mix between 2:30 and 800 p. m. this
afternoon. Lieut.. Nelson, pilot Of the
New Orleans, is in command of this
part of the trip. At Unalaska a new
motor will be installed in the Seattle,
flagship of the fleet.

dent Odell said some editors fail 10 grasp the advantage of this window dressing"
 "A newspaper is a community lead CT and it should have ideas and 1t should fight for them. It should back every worthy cause. Serve your com- munity with all the power and all the leadership you possess. You can't make a better investment than in en- fisting in the uplift of your home town.' The editorial page is being neglected by modern editors, he said.
 The Influence of the Press
 Where has the influence of the press gone?" he asked. Where are the Greeleys and Danas and Waiter sons of the past? Bring back the strong editorial. Our country never needed guidance more than it does today. It never needed our support more than it does today. A news paper without an editorial is like man without an opinion. If you can't do anything else, see that you have a local editorial every week"

Y., Daily News, and president of the National Editorial as- sociation, at the associations con ccntion here today urged newspaper editors to do all in their power ito command respect for all laws. to re- fuse to publish so-called wet jokes, to stand steadfastly together for the preservation of the American home and support the constitution Of the best country on earth"
 "rhc press has a great opportunity and a great responsibility" MT. Odell said. what are we doing while laws are mocked. foreigners are taking lib- erty that was never meant to be theirs, justice is being miscarried. our higher officers are voting dry and taking a drink whenever they can get it. Such hypocrisy in high of- flee is not alone humiliating and dis gusting--ita ais a disgrace.
 Moulders of Opinion
 If we are moulders of public opin- ion, let us mould it that our people will be turned toward the church, our home and reverend respect for the stars and stripes. These, with the schools are the foundation stones of our country"
 Mir. Odell's address, following his report of the administration of the National Editorial association, dwelt almost entirely with a defense of the dry laws and a plea for the retention of prohibtory statues.
