SHIP AND CREW OF 28
ARE BELIEVED LOST
Hope Virtually Abandoned for
Freighter Clifton, $500 Tons,
on Lake Huron.
BY the Associated Press.

by lne aSplaltN frees.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. September 26.
Hope that the whaleback freighter
Clifton, with a crew of %. survived
the storms of Sunday and Monday on
Lake Huron practically was abandon
ed early today. The only hope held
out was by the Progress Steamship
Company. owner of the vessel Other
vesselmen believe that the boat. more
than 80 hours overdue at Detroit, has
sunk. with her crew and cargo of
stone.
The owners OF the Clifton base their
hope on the fact that none of the
rowboats, oars or any wreckage from
the Clifton has been sighted by the
scores of steamers plying Lake HUI
ron or boats sent out to search.
Reports that the Clifton put in at
East Tawas and Oscoda, Mich, on
Lake Huron. Tuesday, were discred-
tied The steamer Cadillac, which
passed East Tawas while down. bound
on the west coast. reported late last
night that she saw nothing of the
vessel.
Lakemen ridiculed reports that she
had put in at Oscoda, declaring that
the Clifton drew 20 feet of water and
it was impossible for her to have en-
tered that harbor.
The last reliable information came
from Mackinaw. where the Clifton
was reported passing Sunday morn
ing after she sailed from Sturgeon Bay
for Detroit. The only other Information
as to her whereabouts was in press dis
patches.
The Clifton, formerly the Samuel
Mather, was commanded by Capt.
Emmett u. Gallagher, st. James,
Mich. She was built in 1892 and had
a capacity of $500 tons.

By the Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich, September 26.
Operations of aircraft at sea are
absolutely dependent for effectiveness
upon surface ships, Rear Admiral w.
A. Moffett. chief of naval aviation.
declared last night in an address to
the engineering society of the Uni

was given especial interest by the re-
cent revival of discussion as to the
relative value of the battleship and
airplane in national defense
Quite recently we have heard dam
gerous theories expounded regarding
the passage of the day of surface
ships" Rear Admiral Moffett said.
ITO act on this principle. to decrease
or wipe OUT our feet and place our
sole dependence on aviation, would
be national suicide.
Il make this statement as a naval
officer. and as chief of the Bureau of
Naval Aeronautics. L have made a
careful and thorough study of the
problem and my experience has
taught me the tre mendous possibili-
ties of aviation as an auxiliary arm
of the fleet. On the other hand, it
has served to convince me of the
total inadequacy Of airships alone as
a means of national defense
