Ocean Liners Watching

New York. Aug. 5 P}-Approxi- mately 50 transatlantic liners are at sea today, but it was expected that only those near land on either side would sight the monoplane Bremen.
 The route planned by the German aviators swung to the north even of the present far north steamship lanes. Ship routes now are closer to the great circle than when the American fliers crossed the ocean, as iceberg danger is less than it was in May and June.
 Most of the ships at sea today arc off the north Atlantic coast or south west of England and Ireland and di- reCtly west of France.

Pools resumed operations on a large scale on the theory that easy money con- ditions were likely to continue for some time to come. that a normal of business was due, and that the markets weakened techni- cal position had been sufficiently corrected by the violent decline of last week.
 Some speculative disappointment was expressed over the failure of the Dupont directors to make spe cial dividend distribution, but the stock quickly recovered it's three point loss and converted it into a gain of 4 points. Case threshing machine. which had sold down to 242 in the early trading. rallied to 25412. a weekend gain of more than points. Commercial Solvents B extended it's gain to points and Delaware & Hudson, Atlantic Refin- ing, Peoria & Eastern, Great North ern preferred, "Soo" common. Pitts burgh &, West Virginia and United Fruit sold 8 to points higher. Northern Pacific at 96 3-8 and Radio Corporation at 651s estab- lished new high records for the year.

Prof. JunI>crs Cries

Dessau, Germany. Aug. 15 lP}-All Dessau was disappointed at the news that the transatlantic plane Europa had been forced to land and that the Bremen alone was continuing to- ward America.
 Prof. Junkers, the airplane design CT, was so overcome that tears cours- cd won his cheeks as he talked with the correspondent. Such strokes ot misfortune, he said, were hard to bear, but the idea of transoceanic flying would nevertheless be carried on and would triumph in the end.
 "All our wishes and hopes now are centered in the Bremen" he added.
