NC-1 and NC-3 Tuned Up for
' ' .
1,200-Mile Flight to Azores.
NC-4 Held at Chatham, |
(By International News Service.) |
TREPASSEY, N. F., May 12.—1 t is '
extremely unlikely that the two
American seaplanes NC-1 and NC-3
will start across the Atlantic today.
The latest available . weather re
ports are not encouraging and avia
tion experts believe the midday re
ports will show little improvement.
Furthermore, some of the American
flyers said at least 24 more hours will
be required for tuning up the two
fiying boats for the 1,200-mile hop to
the Azores. ‘
The NC-1, which was slightly dam- |
aged in a collision with a launch, has
' been repaired and was in rmdmesn‘
for the flight today. !
Commander Towers let it be|
known today that there may be false |
starts made by both American planes |
before they actually get under way.i
In jumping off from Trepassey for
the Azores the planes will carry thel
iargest possible supply of fuel. If it|
is found shortly after the start !hal:
the fuel load is too heavy they will |
return to the base here and unload |
part of the supply. !
Weather conditions turned more fa. |
vorable this afternoon around the
aviation camp and it was said that if |
any start was attempted today it
would be at about 6:30 this evening.
y; The weather forecast for tonight is|
not promising. |

Doc Gunter Shocked;

His Stamp Cafeteria
Mysteriously Missing
D. J. Gunter, proprietor of Gun

the viaduct, has lost faith in human
nature, and he will never be happy
until it is restored. It happened
something like this:
Several years ago ““Doc” started a
stamp cafeteria for the convenience
of customers. Stamps and change
were placed in a box, and a sign in
formed all comers that they could
help themselves and make their own
change. This they did, and as time
went on and the stamps and cash
always balanced, "“Doc” believed he
had proven that everyone is honest

Hun National Assembly Takes Up
Peace Treaty Monday, Report
From Berlin Says.
(By International News Service)
LLONDON, May 12. — Premier
Scheidemann told a secret session of
the peace committee of the German
national assembly that Germany will
sign the peace treaty, said a Berlin
dispatch to The Daily News today.
The national assembly will confirm
this decision this afternoon, the dis
patch added.
By ALFRED G. ANDERSEN,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
BERLIN, May 12.—A full session of
the national assembly was held here
today to consider the peace terms.
Before the session opened it was re
ported that the assemblymen would
rejeéct the treaty. e
Committees representing the six
main political parties held a series of
caucuses lasting all day Sunday and
Sunday night, and, with the exception
of the independents, it was reported
that all adopted resolutions that the
treaty was not acceptable and could
not be signed.
The division of opinion brought
about by the independents led to the
belief that the meeting of the na
tional assembly might develop into a
stormy one
The independents have made the
outright demand that the Teuton en
voys at Versallles continue negotia
tions. |
‘ The German Peoples' party and the
Nationalists both protested specifical
]iy against the deliverance of the ex-
Kaiser or any other German officials
' to the Entente for trial |
! Prince Lichnowsky has sent a iv(—‘
| ter to The Berliner Tageblatt saying
I ‘this peace means the finish of Ger
i many unless we sign with the
‘(hnukhl of a speedy war of libera
lllnn § |
| This letter was published at a time
i when messages were being !'w‘o-i\mli
| from all parts of Germany telling of |
|"Il.->‘ meetings of protest against the !
terms. Prince Lichnowsky, who was
[l;O‘I"ldn Ambassador to England at
the outbreak of the war, added in his
lelter
| “I do not see any possibility of an
;dt'\ eptable understanding on the pres
ent terms. 1 consider the breaking off
of the negotiations the only pr--‘,n'l‘
policy Our adversaries need peace |
as well as we do I confidently ex l
pect a change of public opinion In!
the enemy countries against the poli- |
ticians If the present negotiations,
fail there may be a resumption short- |
ly on a favorable basis.” ’
A soclety in Silesia representing |
1.000,000 persons is reported to rm\v{
sent a message to President Wilson |
demanding a hearing and insisting on |
the right of self-determination” :
If it is not granted the Silesians
threaten to resort to “seli-help.” }
At Oppeln, In Silesia, 25,000 per |
sons attended a mass meeting, at!
which the sentiment was expressed, |
Let them come and get us.” |
The Government! of Saxony gave
oficial recognition to the mass meet

It Just Goes to Show
fYou Never Can Tell
By 0. B. KEELER.
1 learned with surprise this morn
ing, by an inquisitive telegrapn mes
sage from Paducah, Ky, that my old
friend Ed Duiforth was dead. You
may imagine my surprise when | tell
you that | had played golf with him
not longer ago than yesterduy afier
noon, or at least had gone through whe
motions and used a good deal of the
lnn:ulo; and that he had spent the
night with me at my orother's.
Adg:‘ Lo my. surprise wus the lact
tn:;n wflz:me the message r:un'-
sel a% o 4 ¥ e . v
Our conversation then took about
this turn: . : v * ’
He said: “It seems | am dead.”
1 said: “Certainiy —from Lthe ears
up. But how did they hear about it
in Paducah?”
He said: "“Oh, I've got a friend on
The Paducah Evening Sun.”
1 said: “Well, didn't he know you
got & lick on -the head when it was
still soft 2"
He said: “It's a she”
1 said: "Oh!"
Then we decided that he was to
wire an answer, but not to use the
customary phrase in such cases--that
the report was greatly exaggerated.
It wasn't so much evaggerated, at
that. 1 have seen Ed when he was a
whole lot liver—l mean, more alive,
Then we tried to decide how the re
port got about that he was compietey |
defunet. - This was a poser.. Nothing
much worse than usual had hunpflwd‘
to the substantial ex-gob recently.|
He had picked the winner of the Ken
tucky Derby, certainly, but tne de
| pressed status of the Crackers put
him from any danger of dropping dead
‘ from joy.
After eliminating all the other con-l
'clunluns we could think of, there re-|
(mulned two possibilities for Mr. Dan
forth's Paducah friend having heard
he had passed on, One was that he
had recently taken up golf, which
might easily m-m”nl for suicidal mel.
Lancholis,
! The other was that from the string |
'of automobile accidents in Atlanta
| Sunday an outsider might reasonably !
| assume that anyone he (or she) knew |
in this city was In grave danger, {
The percentage I 8 high enough |
read the casua.ty lsts Monday. I
. . .
Phil L’Engle comes to bat with “i
fish story about a rabmt. It seemnms
'he and Mrs. L'Engle were driving
Caround pear Brookhaven Sunday and
an infant rabbit or blit stopped right !
in the middle of .the road and sat np.i
Phil at once was smitten with a de
sire to get out and cateh that rabbit,
| He did not purpose to take his skin,
‘m wrap the Baby Bunting in, but he
'did think Baby Bunting might enjoy
having the rabbit as a playmate
And the funny part of it is that
PPhii actukily did cateh the rabbit,
Wnde: his hat, after a merry chase
through severa! of the brinr patches |
' that the original Brer Rabhit was so|
fond of. They didh't suve this youth- |
ful blit from Phil, but when he got
' back in the car and took a good look |
at his panting and pop-eyed littie;
‘mlmw, he and Mre, L'Engle declided
Cthat it would be a shame the lttle!

It was assumed, however, that the
