sells were sunk by airplanes in 1921
and it was proved to the world that
battleships were useless the naval
propagandists still hedged behind
the cry that airplanes could moi
fly across the seas. They were sue.
cessful in preventing service pilots
from doing it.
But the civilian Lindbergh, using
his head, his practical knowledge OF
flying and his indomitable courage,
flew across the sea.
The Navy bureaucrats were quick
to see the effect of Lindbergh Is

They carried their point and sent
the cruiser Memphis to take charge

now they made great roar over him

Warner Replies In Brief
Warmers letter detailed how the
plane had been reassembled by Navy
mechanics under the direction Of the
owners engineers. He asserted that
''the trouble was Of, such nature
that the plane could probably have
taken off, and If the failure had
occurred in the air the plane could
have continued its journey to destina-
ton under the light load carried"
while the failure probably would
not have proven at all serious in Its
consequences had it occurred in
flight" said Warner, sit can only be
set down as one Of those things
which happen one time in a thou.

possible to guard. Such failures are
exceedingly rare"
Warner Called "Figurehead"
To this, Mitchell retorted that

NEW HUNT FOR
NUNGESSER

| QUEBEC, Que. June 15.-Ar-
ranRements are under way by the
| Quebec provincial government to-
| day to dispatch a plane to the wild
! and desolate mountain district near
st. Germaine township north of the
| Saguenay River where signal flares
were reported Sunday evening,
| leading to belief in some quarters
/ that they may have been set off
by Charles Nungesser and Francois
| Coli the French aviators who dis
appeared without trace while try
| ing to make nonstop flight from
Paris to New York.
The district where woodsmen saw
the signals is about 200 miles
| northeast of Chicoutimi.
! Edouard Layoie, civil engineer
| Of Chicoutimi, told local officials
/ that the flares were visible in st.
| Germaine township. The location
he described would put them about
500 miles west Of Newfoundland.
Indians In NeighborhoOd
Quebec provincial officials were
/ keenly interested in the news and
! Immediately took steps to send out
a plane that had previously been
used TO search the north shore as
| far as Belle Isle for traces of the
/ missing French fliers.
1t was reported from Chicoutimi
that residents Of st. Germaine
township might not wait for the
! hydroplane but would send out a
/ posse TODAY to search the district
| for traces of the aviators and their
plane.
| The point where the signals were
seen is an elevated one. If the
aviators had been forced down in
| that region 1t would probably have
been the first spot where they
would have come into contact with
civilization.
A number of Indians who make
up the population of the region
where the lights were seen are on
their way south. 1t is possible that
they may have. information regard
| ing the missing flyers.
| The Indians are to reach the
| Lake st. John district or other pop
| ulated districts on st. Peters Bay
! about June a.
| II was suggested that the Indians
| may have set off the signals, but
experienced woodsmen state that
| never before within their memory
have the Indians used flares to an
nounce their journey.
/ According to word received today
/ from Toronto. Capt. r. V. Robin
| son, one of the Canadian aviators
/ who has just returned from a search
/ for Nungesser and Coli, declared
that they had encountered Indians
who claimed to have heard an air
plane about the time the two French
aces disappeared They did not
see it, however.
Captain Robinson asserted:
"Nungesser might fly a thousand
miles over Labrador before he
| knew he was over land. There is
no reason why he should not have
continued to fly till his gas gave
out"

Surveyors in the Grand Caribonka

be responsible for flares seen in

mountain Sunday night.
Two land surveying parties are
operating in that district. Although
the department does not believe the
distress signals came from Nun

patched to search the mountain top
and planes will also be sent.
