THE OKEGOXIAN. MONDAY, MAY 3. 191D. BIRDMEN GET START FOR ATLANTIC FLIGHT CREWS AND ONE OF GREAT NAVAL PLANES TO ATTEMPT TRANS-ATLANTIC FLIGHT. cvWy tDear, . Naval Aviators to Leave Rock away Tuesday Morn. 8 rry l27 f - v '2 " 1 rv"- t: - -: . j WIND IMPORTANT FACTOR Weather Bureau Co-operates With the Idlers, While Destroyer Form Guiding Chain. NEW YORK, May 4. The three big seaplanes in which United States navy aviators will attempt a flight across the Atlantic will "hop off" for New foundland on the first leg of. their Journey at 7 o'clock. Tuesday morning, if weather permits, it was officially announced at the Kockaway Beach naval training station tonight. WASHINGTON, May 4. Meteorolo gists of the weather bureau, who are "o-operatinur with the navy department in preparations for tho trans-Atlantic flight, regard it as probable that the three naval seaplanes under Com mander John H. Towers will maintain an altitude of from 1000 to 2000 feet while going overseas. They believe the planes will not have to fly as high as would a trans-continental aviator in order to derive the greatest possible assistance from the winds. Wind is the one element of para mount importance to a successful flight, according to Professor Charles Marvin of the weather bureau. Kxtensive re. ports as to weather conditions have been gathered by the bureau, and a friendly co-operation exists with the meteorological services of Canada and Great Britain, and aviators of other nations preparing to make the flight.

People Only Kept Alive Through Fatalistic Faith In Some Mir T acle in the Future. NEW YORK, May 4 Destitution, hunger and disease are wrecking havoc anions the great Jewish populations in Poland and southeastern Erope, ac cording to reports made by American witnesses to the Joint distribution com mittee of the American funds for Jew ish war sufferers, which were made public here today. The committee, which up to date has disbursed more than $25,000,000 contributed by Amer ican Jews, is headed by Felix Warburg of the bankins house of Kuhn. Loeb & company. . "The situation in Poland is so ter rible, according to Dr. Boris E. Bogen, that the people are only kept alive through fatalistic faith in some miracle in the future." Dr. Bogen says: "The population has seen and felt so much of suffering that it has become calloused to hardship and to want, but the spectacle of hundreds of starving children and women in the biting cold, clad only in the scantiest of filthy rags, and of men, listlessly and aimlessly walking the streets asking for bread, has deeply affected the committee's representatives.1 Conditions in Czecho-Slovakta are intensified, according to Henry G. Als berg, by a widespread antl-semltic feeling. The reports in respect to Jungo-SIa-via are corroborated by Miss Hetty Goldman who deals more particularly with Mcjnastir. Miss Goldman says the city has been almost destroyed by shell lire and the population reduced from about 80,000 to between 25,000 and jO.000, including troops. IRISH TO MEET AMERICANS jtrank P.

Nation Must Subscribe Four Hun dred Millions Daily to Get in Minimum Quota. WASHINGTON. May . 4. With sub scriptions to the victory liberty loan lagging to a greater extent than in any of the four previous loan campaigns, Secretary of the Treasury Glass to night, at the beginning of the closing week of the drive, sent to all campaign committees a strong appeal for a final effort to reach the minimum Quota of $4,500,000,000. Official figures for the various stages of the first and second liberty loans are lacking, but the best available in formation was said to indicate that on the eve of the final week more than four-ninths of the loan had been taken in each drive. In the third campaign at the start of the final week two thirds of the total had been subscribed, and at the beginning of the third week of the last loan campaign about one half of the total had been ised. Total subscriptions reported In the victory loan total $1,657,979,850. To reach the minimum quota slightly more than 400,000.000 must be raised daily beginning tomorrow and ending Sat urday night. Treasury officials, how ever, were not pessimistic tonight. The work of the final week, because of the relatively poor showing thus far, will be centered on what one campaign di rector termed "big money." The final week of the campaign Is expected to see an interesting race be tween districts for the honor of being the first "over the top." St. Louis, which won this honor in the fourth liberty loan campaign, is leading at present. POLICE OBTAIN NO CLUE Yeggmen Expected to Try Again and Thus Be Caught. Police continued yesterday the search for the yeggmen who obtained nearly $1000 by dynamiting two safes early Saturday morning, but without obtain ing any definite clew. As the robbers took nothing but money and liberty bonds, officials feel that the only clew is the serial number on the bonds, and that unless they find the yeggmen with the bonds in their possession it will be a difficult matter to obtain a. con viction. Police, however, are confident they eventually will capttfr the robbers. , ,fS5B e.. J r- i ... . rt--i -... i because they probably will try again.

The Omsk government has ac complished in months what other gov ernments saddled with similar recon struction worn have taken years to achieve. When Admiral Kolchak took control of the administration there waa virtually nothing in Siberia resembling a central government. There were remnants of the old re gime, badly disorganized, and various parts of Siberia were barely able to maintain local control without affilia tion one with the other. Kolchak haa gained strength and recognition until at present his terrl tory extends beyond the Urals to the Pacific. This territory embraces 70,- 000,000 people, although there are a few elements which do not acknowl edge Kolchak'a authority. One of the greatest difficulties con fronting Admiral Kolchak is the lack of a code suitable for the changed con ditions. Practically all the laws of the monarchy must be rejected or recon structed. The council of ministers sits daily, often late in the night, perfect ing a system of legislation and each day an official bulletin is issued em bodying a dok. new laws as a result of the deliberations. This is being accomplished in spite or tne lack ol men experienced in gov ernment control and military affairs. Kolchak himself has not had extensixe experience in directing affairs. Most of his ministers at best filled some subordinate office in the old regime. The responsiDliilty has been thrust upon them and they are doing their best to rise to the emergency.
