ON HAZARDOUS ATANTIC JOURNEY
Left Trepassy Bay, Newfoundland, and }leaded for the Azores,
Where Landing Will Be Made if Necessary -Average
Speed of Sixty Miles Per HOW.
A despatch from=Trespassey, Ntid.,
says: -Three seaplanes of the Am-
erican navy -the NC -3, NC -4 and the
NC -1 -rose late on Friday from the
Water of Teespassoy Bay and headed'
for the Azores to make by air' in the
twentieth century a journey as dan-
gerous as that Columbus made by
water 427 years ago,
Commandedby Commander John
H. Towers, Lieutenant-Cotmnand'er
A. C. Reed and Lieutenant- Co`mnian-
der P. N. L. Bellinger, tlae planes
left their moorings at the head of
Trespassey Harbor and "taxied" to-.
wards the narrows.: Then, rushing
,into a, westerly wind, they took the
air. The NC -3, ,the "flagship;" rose
at '7.32, the NC -4, two minutes later,
and the NC -1 at 7.41 (Newfoundland
time-. Within a few minutes they
Were lost to sight beyond the eastern
horizon,
The seaplanes shaped their course
towards Corvo, western -most island
of the Azores from which they ett-
pouted to fy to Hotta,' on the Island
of Fayal, where they will descend if
weather conditions or mechanical dif-
ficulties snake it necessary, but they
will go on if passible to Ponta Del
Galla on San Miguel Island', 1,362
nautical miles from this port.
This leg of the cruise from Rock-
away Beach, N.Y., the planes home
station, to Plymouth, England, is the
only :one'vehieh will require night
flying.
The planes were expected to main-
tain en average speed of sixty nauti
oal miles an hour, although they are
capable of making 90 miles if cir-
cumstances demand. Temperature
was expected to determine the flying
altitude, but it was believed five
thousand feet would be the limit.

THE. COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Has our community a Commercial Club? How often does it meet? Once a year or EVERY DAY-? What
is our club doing to increase its membership? Has it BURIED the last of the knockers? How many factories
has it secured in the last ten years? The BEST towns have a Commercial Club meeting EVERY day in the
year. Now members are added every day. The membership takes in farmers, as well as business men. There
is something DOING all the time. The greatest energy Is eXpended on hoobting the HOME market, Everybody
works at this, and the result is the Commercial Club puts the town on the MAP as a LIVE community' This is
all true of the BEST towns. Is OUR town In this class? Are WE content to be anything less than the BEST?
Let's get into THAT class, and work EACH day to STA`y, there, ,

CENTENARY OF
QUEEN VICTORIA
BORN AT KENSINGTON PALACE,
LONDON, MAY 24, 1819.,
Some of the Characteristics Which
Made tier One of Britain's Most
Successful Monarchs,
In celebrating "the Queen's Birth-
day" on Saturday, "the 24th of May,"
Canadians will also be celebrating the
centenary of the birth of the late
Queen 'Victoria.
Bout on the 24111 of May, 1819 -in
England instead of Germany -be-
cause her parents purposely returned
from their German sojourn in time to
make her a native of the country
which they foresaw she might one day
play a leading part in, she lost her
father, the Dake of Kent, before she
was a year old, and was thenceforth
under the care of her careful Getman
mother, and her shrewd uncle, Prince
Leopold, who, even after becoming
King of the Belgians, continued to
write her helpful letters, th'e answers
to which are not the least interest-
ing part of her voluminous published
correspondence.
A Queen at Eighteen.
Her mother and the eccentric old
monarch, William IV., quareled con-
tinually, but the old man seems rather
to have liked his youthful heiress ap-
parent. At his death, only a short
time after elle had attained her ma-
jority, the 18 -year-old girl became
queen of the mightiest nation on the
globe. The student of her life is
struck by the quiet composure with
which the child shouldered the bur-
den, but he is more impressed still, as
he reads on, by the tact and wisdom
with which she carried it, from start
to finish. Endowed with no apparent-
ly remarkable intellectual gifts, she
nevertheless proved one of the most
successful monarchs of history, Her
record shows pretty conclusively that
qualities otlheart are as useful in high
places as qualities of head.
Lord Melborne, the Prime Minister
of those early days, violent in temper
and rough In speech, but discreet and
tactful withal, deserves a great deal
of the credit for her flrAt successes,
She was very notch in love with her
young husband, Prince Albert, of
Saxe -Coburg, and insisted again and
again that his title of Prince Consort
be changed to Kiug Consort, and that,
as was the case with William and
Mary, he be empowered to rule jointly
with her. Her caretul old counsellor
evaded the question again and again,
but driven at last to a frank expres-
sion of conviction, he is said to have
burst out: "Does your Majesty real-
ize what you are running' the risk of
doing? If you once got the Eogliah
people into the way of making kings
you would get them into the way of
unmaking them."
Her Prime Ministers.
After Lord Melbourne the Queen had
Disraeli and Gladstone in turn as
Prime Minister and tutor -colleague, so
to speak. She and Gladstone never
agreed, and it was perhaps partly the
fact that he was so rigidly High
Church which set her against the
Anglican ritualists. She suffered a
great deal, in conference with him.
"He talks to mo," she complained, "as
it I wore a public meeting." Yet she
and Gladstone wore responsible for a
great deal of Hite and wholesome
activity. Disraeli won her heart com-
pletely from the first. The reason
may or may not be contained 10 a con-
fidential hint which the Jewish states-
man once dropped to Matthew Arnold:
"Everyone likes flattery, and when it
comes to royalty you should lay it on ,
with a trowel."
A contemporary explained her!
nearly constant popularity, which I
made her useful labors easier, by her
instinctive appreciation of the right
thing to do and say when in public,
She was "never flurried by a space in
front of her," Her self-control in dI1
ficult situations was admirable.
In the Crimean War the Queen was
as devoted as any nurse or hospital
worker in the 10114. Her forbearance
at the time of the Trent affair played'
its part in preventing war with the
United States. Inclined perhaps
rather toward Presbyterianism than
towards the Church of England, of
which site was the nominal head, she
showed no intolerance toward Catho-
lic, Protestant or Jew. She had no
great interest in sects, but a deeply
religious nature -so deeply religious
that `one matter-of-fact French his-
torian complains a little of her trend
toward mysticism. She swayed her
people because she loved theni. "How
kind they are to me!" she was fond
of saying,

85 MILES OFF THE SHORE
A despatch from St. John's, Nfld.,
says: -The United Slates navy diri-
gible C-5, which` escaped from .its
moorings here en Thursday, dropped
into the sea about 85 miles off shore,
according to 'a radio message receiv-
ed' by the cruiser Chicago from an
unidentified Bnitish steamship. The
steamship said it was standing by the
dirigilite. The destroyer 'Edwards,
which went out in pursuit of the
Blimp after it was blown to sea, was
notified by wireless of its position

AMERICAN CASUALTIES
TOTALLED OVER 286,000.
A despatch from Washington
says: -Revised figures made public
on Thursday by the War Department
showed that the total casualties of
the American Expeditionary Forces
during the war was 286,044. Battle
deaths numbered 48,909, and the to-
tal of wounded was placed at 237,135,
with the explanation that this repre-
sented 'a duplication of about 7,000
by reason of the fact that many men
were wounded more than once. '
`M
The Reward of Politeness.
They were entertaining the minister
at dinner, and after dessert little
Johnny said:
"Won't you take another piece of
pie?"
The minister laughed. "Well, John.
ny," he said, "since you are so polite,
I will have another,"
"Good!" said Johnny. "Now, ma,
remember your promise. You said if
it was necessary to cut into the second
pie I could have another piece!"
The greater longevity of the typi-
cal Briton as compared -with almost
any other race is due to tlhe fact that
he loves sports. -Prof. E: H. Starl-

23 ILLiO MARKS
French Confidence in Enemy's
Ability to Pay Appeals
Unfounded.
A despatch from London says: -
The correspondent of the Daily Tele-
Durnburg, just published in the
Kolnisehe Zeitung.
"The German public debt, accord-
ing to Herr Durnburg, totalled 161,-
000,000,000 marks on January 31,
1918, and had increased to 185,000,-
000,000 marks on April 30 last, con-
sequent upon further issues of Treas-
ury balls in the begitming of the
years. The floating debt and ,issue
of bank notes continues to grow with-
out interruption.
"Herr Durnburg alleges that the
annual burden laid on the shoulders
of German taxpayers from this debt
will amount to 17,500,000,000 marks.
But this does not represent the total
charges that the public debt will re,
quire from the taxpayers of the Em-
pire. There must be added interest
on the special debts of the several
Federal states and townships which
needs annually another sum of 6,000,-
000,000 marks to cover it. Therefore,
the .grand total that the Empire will
have to pay in interest each year
stands at over 23,000,000,000 marks."
As women make 90 per cent. of the
purehases for the homes, their ac-
tion in this is the most important
single factor in righting our adverse
balance with the United States. "Buy
Canadian goods and products" is the
recommendation of the Canadian
Trade Commission.
