 The states cruise will last proba- bly, two months and include nearly all the important cities ill the L. $. going as far as San Francisco, ac- cordlng to present plans. Then, is all goes well, Fitzmaurice hinted, the Canadian cities would be visited.
 He also intimated that the Ere men might return to Europe as she came - piloted by Fitzmaurice. Baron Huenefeld and Captain Her mann Koehl.
 This is one of the matters that must still be discussed" Fitzmaurice said, but the Bremen brought us across"
 These details were made known as the Ford relief plane sped on it's way from Detroit to Murray bay to pick up spare parts. propeller and benzol to take to the Bremen at Greenly Island.
 With luck, the Ford ship should be at Lake St. Agner this afternoon or evening and, again. with luck, should be able to start off for the island Saturday.
 Repairs to Go in Ford
 The Germans at Greenly Island have been advised by Fraulein Her ta Junkers, field marshall of the re- lief expedition. that a. landing gear, propeller, oil. benzol. clothing, food and tobacco are to be sent up in the Ford. The clothing part will be welcome news to the Germans who are reported out of fresh linen. A wild scramble to get a collar big enough for koehl has been proceed ing. Rumors as to the size of his neck are many at Murray Bay-and they run as high as size 1S.
 Fitzmaurice hopes the Ford can leave tomorrow. He will be a pas senger and it is expected that Ernst

Reopen, German Junkers mechanic, also will go along to aid in the re- pair work. There is a possibility that the propeller shaft may be found bent, in which case it would be necessary to revise all plans for getting the German-Irish party to New York. In that case, it is antici- pated, the big Ford machine would be drafted into service.
 Fraulein Junkers told the United Press today she still believed she would not be a passenger though she added, II would love to go; there is nothing I would like more."
 To Circle Radio Station
 At the suggestion of the United Press, Fraulein Junkers and Major fitzmaurice have arranged for the Bremen to circle the Point Amour wireless station, about 25 miles from Greenly Island, when they leave for New York.
 In this way. the station will be able to give news to the outside world of the takeoff.
 Through the courtesy of the Can adlan Marconi company, at the sug- sestion of the United Press-the Polnt Amour station will flash the news of the departure to Montreal where it will be distributed to press associations and newspapers. Whether the Bremen will make a direct nonstop trip from Greenly Island to New York is still a mat ter of conjecture Yesterday the ex- petition promoters were inclined to consider stop-over at Lake St. Agnes. but today's advices indicated they favored a direct flight-if the weather is good.
 Niilder Weather
 The heavy snowstorm and cold weather which gripped Canada yes- terday have given way in many parts to sunshine and milder weather considered a favorable omen for the Ford trip and probably likewise for the Bremen return.

When Trotzky was deported from
