J
TREP ASSET, X. F.. May 12. If Com
minder John H. Towers, director of the
navy's trans-Atlantic flight, planned
a "hop off" today of the NC-1 and NC-3
for the Azores, a disturbance prevail
ing late this afternoon in the North At
lantic compelled him to change his
mind.
Commander Towers said he would
like to have the NC-4 join the di
vision before the start, but that he
was. unwilling? to sacrifice favorable
weather in waiting.
The Americans were confident that
the meteorological conditions which
caused them to hug their base would
keep the British aviators, Harry G.
Hawker and Captain Frederick P.
Itaynham, land-bound at St. Johns.
f
Further Delny Possible.
Indications tonight were that the
weather will be unfavorable again to
morrow. WASHINGTON, May 12. Official an
nouncement was made by the navy de
partment today that upon the outcome
of the proposed test flight of the new
navy dirigible C-3 from the naval air
station, Montauk, N. Y., to St. Johns,
N. F., would "depend future plans la
regard to the possibility of a later
trans-Atlantic flight by a dirigible.
The flight to New Foundland. a dis
tance of approximately 1000 miles, it
was said, would be made "whenever
weather conditions are favorable."
In making this announcement the
navy department disclosed much data
regarding the C-5 not heretofore pub
lished. The new dirigible, which was
commissioned only a week ago, is com
manded by Commander E. W. Coil and
the members of the crew are Lieuten
ants J. V. Lawrence and M. H. Easterly,
KnBlen D. P. Campbell and Chief Ma
chinist's Mates T. I Moorman and S.
Blackburn.
C-5 Non-Rigid Airship.
The C-5 is a twin-engine, non
rigid airship with two 125-horsepower
engines. The dirigible has an envelope
displacement of approximately 178,000
feet, an envelope length of 192 feet
and an envelope diameter of nearly
42 feet, making her the large. t of
the navy's airships.
The normal speed of the C-5 Is placed
in tne navy department s announcement
at 60 miles an hour, with an endur
ance at normal speed of ten hours.
However, in addition to the fuel load of
4000 pounds and to the crew of six,
it -vas learned that provision can be
made for a greater gasoline-carrying
capacity, thus Increasing her cruising
ability beyond the estimated 600 miles.
At a speed of 42 knots the airship has
a, fuel consumption of ten gallons.
Ocean Trip Held Possible.
Officials at the navy department ap
pear to be entirely confident that the
C-5 has ample endurance to cross to
Europe without a stop. There is a
general belief at the navy department
that the trans-Atlantic attempt will be
ordered Immediately after the arrival
of the C-5 at St. Johns and before the
naval craft patrolling the Atlantic for
the flight of the heavier than air ma
chines, the NC-1 and NC-3 have dis
persed. The department put finishing touches
today on preparation for the start of
the two seaplanes, NC-1 and NC-3,
from Trepassey bay, N. F. The start
may come at any time now, depending
on weather conditions. Commander
Towers today sent in his official ac
. count of the flight from Rockaway.
Trip Detail. Recounted.
"Left Rockaway in NC-3, accom
panied by NC-4 and NC-1, at 10 A. M.,
May 8, proceeding in formation along
south coast of Long Island; thence over
Vineyard sound to Chatham; thence to
Seal island. I received radio from NC-4
at 2:10 P. M. that they were running
on three engines and might be com
pelled to land. NC-4 dropped astern
and shortly later was lost sight of. It
was believed that she had turned to
land near the McDerrut, which was
barely visible off our port quarter.
"From Seal island proceeded in com
pany with NC-1 to Nova Scotia and up
the coast to Halifax, NC-3 landing at 7
P. M., and NC-1 at 7:10 P. M. Started
re-fueling from the Baltimore imme
diately and completed at 2 A. M., May
9. Made arrangements to leave for
Trepassey at 8 A. M., May 9, but dis
covered cracked tip on pusher propeller
of NC-3 and three propellers of NC-1
in similar condition. Obtained four
hubs from Canadian air station and
replaced damaged propellers with
spares from Baltimore. On attempting
start on the morning of May 10, the
starter on pusher engine NC-3 broke.
Signaled NC-1 to proceed to Trepassey.
Replaced starter and left Halifax at
8:15 A. M.
Landing Proven Difficult.
"Landing 38 miles northeast of Hall
fax, examination showed starboard
tractor propeller had cracked tip. Re
turned to Halifax, arriving at 10:30 A.
M. Removed propeller from center
tractor engine and put it on starboard
tractor. Left Halifax at 11:40 A. M. and
proceeded to Trepassey, landing at 6:30
P. M. Total time from Halifax to Tre
passey was. NC-3, six hours and 50 min
utes; NC-1, six hours and 56 minutes.
"Each seaplane spent approximately
40 minutes maneuvering for landing at
Trepassey under very adverse weather
conditions. Winds as high as 45 miles
an hour were encountered, although
fairly smooth air was found at 8500
feet. Engines functioned well on both
legs. Radio telegraph maintained ex
cellent communication. -Navigation was
rendered difficult by the high velocity
and varying direction of winds and
necessity of flying high to avoid rough
air but means are regarded as satis

PARIS. May 12. (By the Associated
Press) President Wilson spent some
time today with the American com
missioners -who have been considering
the various phases of the peace treaty.
It was pointed out that there are so
many points of similarity between the
Austrian and German treaties that an
enormous amount of time would be
saved by preparing the document re

The Adriatic question was taken up

most favorably with the peace terms
Insofar as thev concern the return of

Paris Scheme of Investigating Mis

CAIRO Sahkag II, the Armenian
Catholicos of Cillcia, passing through
Cairo and learning somehow of the
presence of a Herald correspondent,
sought opportunity to send to America
at once the thanks and the hopes and
fears of the Armenian nation.
His holiness was kept in exile by the
Turks during the war and. like all Ar
menians, he is bitter against them. He
sees no hope in them or for them. He
says "they are still massacrelng Arme
nians at Aleppo, where a thousand have
recently been slain." When I suggested
that the official figures of the British
who are in control In Aleppo and who
nut down the uprising, are less than
fifty dead he shrugged his shoulders.
With his black headdress, shaped to
represent Mount Ararat, the catholicos
is a striking figure. His object in send
ing a message- to America is to express
the hope that the United States will
become mandatory for all Armenia, and
he insists upon a "greater Armenia,
including his own see of Cilicia. Touch
ing: upon the fact that the Arme
nlans are a small minority of the dis
trict claimed, his holiness suggests that
America could govern the parts where
Armenians are- fewest until the Ar
menians themselves have increased in
sufficient numbers to take over the
whole.
He protests against the Paris scheme
of sending investigating commissions.
He wants independence for Armenia
right away. Commissioners, he fears,
may be beguiled by the Turks Into re
porting unfavorably upon all the
claims of Armenia.
At this point the young Armenian
officer who was interpreting broke in
on hij own account with: "Sir, the.se
is
tiro figures on the end ef the f naelnge
The civilian In back with the enp la
you that we young men of Armenia are
resolved upon one thing. If Armenia
does not get her liberty that is, all she
claims there will be no peace for the
world. We Armenians will fight until
the last."
We discussed figures of population a
length, but his holiness and the bishop
who accompanied him refuse to accept
any of the statistics of the standard
authorities, insisting upon a much
greater number of Armenians more
than three millions in Turkey and
million and a balf in the Caucasus.
Contrasting ti,e Armenians with thel
neighbors, he declared that "every
Kurd is a. bandit; the Circassians are
the same. The Turks live only off th
prosperity of the Armenians, who are
Industrious, enterp. ising, successful
and enlightened Christians."
