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.

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, Denilcine Frustrates Plan To Bisect Itis Russian Army A despatch from London 'says:- General Denilcine, commander of the anti -Bolshevik forces, has frustrated by a counter -offensive the Bolshevik plan to ,bisect his army by capturing Rostov -on -the -Don, at the head of the Sea of Azov, The Bolshevik have been compelled to move their posi- tions to the northward, 2iE.S 3R, MIT CAL 3IC 'UM') 2E" .494.'220'303E2133EL FINALLY DROPPED INTO SEA 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 a1111 started at .once to salvage the airship, U.S. Navy Dirigible Disappears And is Believed to be Lost A despatch from Trepassey, Ndd., sa-The avdiriible ys: ny g C-5, which W” swept to sea yesterday, is now believed to have been lost. The des- troyer Edwards, which went in pur- suit, reported by wireless that she had been unable aft& a search to find her and was returning. A mer- chant steamer Which reported that site was standing by the big :balloon subsequently sent a message that elle was unable to stand by longer -and proceeded on her way, according to, information from the Edwards. 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- ing.

Winnipegis now breadless. Bakers in most of the bake shops left work promptly at 11 o'clock a.m. on Thurs- day. Drivers also quit work, v decided • The Webb pressmen have to remain at work, and this will mean that all the local newspapers will continue publication. Free automobile rides for pedes- trians is again the order in the city streets. The question of the city's granting the jitneys permits to 'op- erate is being considered. A later despatch says: Winnipeg entered the second day of the general strike, called in sympathy with the. building .•trades and metal workers, without disorder of any kind being• reported, and with the addition to the ranks of, the strikers of the telephone operators and telephone electrical workers. At a meeting held on Friday the stereotypers and Webb pressmen de- cided to join the general strike, and as a result all three Winnipeg daily newspapers will undoubtedly be obliged to suspend publication. The ANNUAL INTEREST S .i �� ti. 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.

They thought she was going blind, and so a surgeon operated on her and found--" "Yes," gasped his wife expectantly, "That she'd got a young man in her eye," tnished the husband with a chuckle. For a moment there was science Then the lady remarked slowly: "Well It would all depend on what sort of young man it was. Sonde of them she could have seen through eas- ily enough" The Higher Hope.
