State uniform over which he wore a red coat, was the first to step from the plane. He was followed by in their blue German uniforms. It was Major Fitzmaurice's second visit to Lake Ste. Agnes, coming here orig inally to arrange for the relief of his German comrades.
 An official greeting to the trans atlantic f1iers was extended by Abbe Savard of the parish of Malbaie, who read an address of welcome in French.
 To this Baron yon Huenefeld re- piled in the same language. We appreciate the boundless hospitality of the people of Canada he said. and thank you from the bottom of our hearts, The baron added that he and his comrades hoped to come i to Canada at later date and ex- press their appreciated of the kind ness they had received. Some time in the future. he said, it was their wish to again visit Greenly Island and further convey their thanks and gratitude.
 Words of Gratitude
 May God bless the beautiful country of Canada and it's people. he concluded.
 The Bremen's crew was saddened by the death of Bennett, news Of which had been carried to Greenly Island by radio. They also expressed regret that they had been forced to leave the Bremen.
 A combination Of melting ice making a takeoff on wheels impos- sihle and failure of the planes mo- tor to function properly. they said, caused the temporary abandonment of the plane. Baron von Huenefeld said the Bremen would be left on it's improvised scaffolding on Green- lv Island until spring when break up of the ice in Belle Isle straits would permit it to be brought out by steamer.
 The baron said he and his conn., rades as a tribute to Bennett would take to Washington flags of Ger many, the Irish Free State, the United States, the North German Lloyd and the Hamburg-Amerlcan line which the Bremen had brought from Ireland.
 1 I've had intended to show them at our first reception on this side he said, but now we want to pre- sent them to our dead comrade. Though. only Major Fitzmaurice knew him, Captain Koehl and ] had not met him, we feel before we go to any reception, before we partici- pate in any rejoicing that may come it is our task to pay him honor"
 Plans were made at first for nonstop flight to Washington, but the possibility of a stop en route for fuel, possibly at Hartford, Conn.,, was considered, especially as soft ice here seemed to present difficulties for a takeoff by the Ford plane with a full load. Normal flying condi- tions would enable the Ford plane to reach Boiling Field, near Wash ington, by p. m.

As the relief plane came 10 a stop, the occupants stayed in the cabin and all calls to them 10 show themselves went unanswered. The photogra phers dashed Up in cars from Mitchell Field and set up thei1 cameras but were unable to get pie lures of anything but the plane.
 Charles C. J. Murphy. correspon- dent of the New York World and the North American Newspaper Alliance which sponsored the relief flight blocked the entrance to the plane as the photographers sought to force their way to the flyers.
 Finally Chief of Nassau County Police Abram Skldmore drove his automobile flush against the cabin door door and the flyers were liter ally lifted from the plane to the closed automobile. Then, under po- lice motorcycle escort, the automo- bile was driven into the Junkers hangar and the doors were closed.

generals after a long conference yes

that they considered I. victory for the

that retreat blocked in event they are
