SUNA. Fiji, June S.-tR1-(Friday)
The monoplane Southern Cross
rested on the sands of Naselai beach
to-day, awaiting the ebb Of tide to
permit IL to hop off toward Australia.
the last leg of its transpacific flight.
The plane was expected to start at
: p. m. Friday C. p. M. Pacific coast
time Thursday
An unruly surf prevented the plane
from starting Thursday afternoon.
When government steamer Pioneer
arrived at Naselai with 500 gallons
If gasoline the work of transporting
tire drums to shore was rendered diff
ficult and slow by a rough sea. So
great was the delay that dusk found
the plane only partially fueled and
tire tide coming in.
To Take 20 Hours
IL was decided that the Southern
Cross would have 10 wait another
day and the plane was hauled above
the high water line and made safe
fer the night.
The craft was completely fueled
today and all that remained to be
done vas ~uncovering Of the three
radial motors and warming them up
a bit through idle running.
Captain Charles Kingsford-Smith
and Charles Ulm, Australian pilots
of the Southern Cross estimated that
they should cover the 1,762 miles be-
tween Suva and Brisbane, Australia,
in about twenty hours. They planned
"a stop at Brisbane and leave Har-
~ W. Lyon and James Warner,
American members Of the crew, be-
fore going on to Sydney, the end Of
their T,s00-mile air journey from
Oakland, Calf.
To Honor Americans
Lyon acted as navigator during the
planes flight from Oakland TO
Hawaii, thence TO Suva. Warner was
the radioman. The arrangements
made before the flight started in
California were understood here to
] ave Lyon and Warner drop out of
the expedition at Suva, permitting
the two Australians to continue on to
their homeland alone
But since arriving in the Fills
Captain Kingsford-Smith changed
his mind and announced that as a
mark Of appreciation for the skill OF
the two Americans he wanted them
to accompany him on to Brisbane as
guests Of the Australians.
The long flight began at Oakland
last Thursday. The plane covered
the 2400 miles to Hawaii in q hours
and 2s minutes, landing at Wheeler
field, Island of Oahu, at 1919 Fri
day. The filters took their plane
across the channel to the island Of
Kauai on Saturday and started for
Suva, 3,13s miles southwestward at
1850 a. m. Sunday. The flight TO
Suva was completed at 1928 p. m.
Monday. All these hours are as Of
Pacific coast time.

Wilbur's address said the Ameri-
"a government has changed its at
titude toward naval preparedness
and believes in the maintenance Of a
permanent force Of officers and eff
1icient equipment.
Secretary Wilbur said that when
he came into contact with the navy
IN 1884, the policy was to permit
the navy to deteriorate in equipment
and personnel, except during the
time of war, but today the policy is
70 maintain ships in a high state Of
efficiency and to make continuous
effort to eradicate any weakness.
1t is a matter upon which you can
be congratulated that you enter your
service as officers in the navy at a
time when the policy of constant
repair and of major improvements to
naval ships has become the fixed
policy Of the government" the sec
rotary said.
IF you are true to our tradition:
II you are diligent in your work; if
you are faithful to the flag and 70
the constitution and the nation it
symbolizes, you will have justified
the faith that the nation has in you
as evidenced by the diploma and

THE CRITIC,
To the Editor of st. Croju AUjs'',
Dear Mr.. EDITOR
AS we sit and look at the grand
program that was carried through to a
successful end on the Fourth Of July last
year we are doubly impressed with the
thought Of what has caused the apparent
Indifference this year when the same
day is only one week ahead. None of
the gentlemen on the committee Of last
year has thought it wise To throw a little
light on the matter for public benefit, so
we are still cropping in the dark as to the
cause Of the veil Of silence prevailing at
present. Last year at MIDNIGHT July 3, we
had the Spirit Of '76" VIVA spirit are
we having this year? Al 155 .. N. July
4, last year we assembled at lndapeGd

Paul Revere's bugIe VIII not reveTDerate

will be silent this year, ana the bell
ringer won't be asked TO brush his dust
worn coat of '76, for it is now the spirit
of 1923, we presume. The Fourth o. July
is the birthday Of The nation, ana is Cele-
brated throughout each Of the forty
eight States. AS "ciVliIZatiOn sometimes
travel from west to cost" we were enter
