Mechanics who were working on the engines were ordered to abandon ship, Lieutenant Little remaining, and en deavoring to pull the rip cord and de flate the envelope. Thrashed wildly by the wind the gas bag rebounded and every stay snapped. Lieutenant Little gave another tug at the. rip cord and It broke. He leaped from the 6hlp as the big bag arose and soared off. The loss of the blimp was a bitter disappointment to Lieutenant - Com mander Emery W. Coll and his crew of five. They had brought the big ship over a 1300-mile course from Montauk Point with a performance record which they were confident would havebrought the coveted order from the navy de partment to attempt the overseas light. The C-S, it is said, had performed perfectly on the trip from Montauk Point and only final authorization from Washington and routine inspection of the engines and replenishment of fuel and supplies the aviators had believed etood between them and the trans-Atlantic flight. Although the C-5 performed perfectly, the weather "did not perform nearly so well." one of the crew said. "It was the roughest ride I've ever had," he declared, "but was due to the "bumpy' condition of the atmosphere, not to the ship." At times, he continued, the winds ca reened the big ship until Its engines stood on end and stopped, but as soon as the big ship righted itself the motors went to work again. The dirigible was lost in the fog for ft time this morning over Avalon penin sula, the southeastern point of New Foundland. For two hours she cruised about seeking the landing here, which was known to the crew only by radio descriptions. Radio directions received from the base served only to complicate the eituation, for while the base was sending the bearings of the sending station from the C-5, the C-5's navi gators interpreted them as the C-5's bearings from the station. Eventually Commander Coil sighted a narrow-gauge railroad which he fol lowed to St. Johns. The town of Top sail was then recognized and a direct rourse was laid which took the dirig ible over Signal harbor and the narrow mouth of the harbor for j. sharp turn north through Cuckold's cove toward Quidivldl valley. Lieutenant J. V.'Lawrence was at the wheel and effected a landing that elicited exclamations of appreciation from British airmen who had gathered to welcome the airship. Commander Coil gave much of the credit for the flight from Montauk Point to his pilots. Lieutenant Lawrence -and Ensign D. P.-Campbell. The cold during the trip, he said, was almost numbing at times, but the pilots had hung on gamely, although they were compelled to divide their turns at the wheel into sh rt shifts. The ship occasionally made as high as 70 miles an hour, though the aver age for the trip was only 48 miles. The direct course from Montauk was 1200 miles, but an additional 100 miles was traversed in seeking the landing place after reaching the Newfoundland coast. WASHINGTON, May 15. Information to the navy department of the loss of the C-5 and subsequent efforts to cap ture it, was sent from the United States eteamer Chicago, station ship at St. Johns, N. F., as follows: "Dirigible C-5 broke adrift from moorings Pleasantville. Rip cord broke. No one on board. No casualties. United States steamship Edwards pro ceeding in northeasterly direction. 10 persons, with instructions to assist and bring down with anti-aircraft fire." Navy department officials were great ly disappointed at the accident to the C-5, which has abruptly terminated plans for sending the dirigible across the Atlantic in the wake of the sea planes ctarting from Trepassey bay. It was said immediately on receipt of. of ficial reports, however, that the attempt to cross the Atlantic with a dirigible of the sama type would not be aban doned, but that another ship would be nade ready to take the place of the C-5, which probably will be practically a total toss. KAVY OFFICIALS DISAPPOINTED If Dirigible Had Xot Been Lost, It Would Have Started for Azores WASHINGTON, May 15. The loss of the C-o was peculiarly disappointing In view of a message received by the department trom the airships com mander. filed just before the ship broke away, which made it obvious that she and her crew were ready to proceed V'ithout delay on a direct flight for Europe. The message as made public By the department follows: "C-5 arrived safely i-t St. Johns at 10 A. M. Trip a complete success. Heady to proceed Immediately upon re- lueitng and a few hours rest for crew. whole crew in excellent physical con dition. No difficulties with navigation except with making St. Johns with adverse winds and visibility conditions. liequest orders. " While the department has never Ftated definitely that it intended to send C-5 on to Europe and has consistently maintained that the trip from Montauk Point. N. T.. to St. Johns was experi mental, it is practically certain that if the big dirigible had not gone adrift the orders sent to her commander to day would have permitted him to start at once upon a direct flight of nearly zuuu miles to some point in England ANOTHER START IS EXPECTED Navy Officials Think Flying Craft Will Try Again Today. WASHINGTON, May 15. While the loss of the navy dirigible C-5 through a treacherous wind current at St Johns, N. F., today caused keen disap pointment to naval officials here, the failure of the seaplanes NC-1 and NC-3 to get started on xne iranB-Auanilc flight caused no apprehension. It was confidently expected that the planes, possibly accompanied by the NC-4, which arrived at Trepassey bay during the day, would get under way just before sundown tomorrow and reach the Azores some time Saturday afternoon. The navy department had no offi cial report at a late hour either as to the attempts of the planes at Trepassey to get into the air carry ing the maximum quantity of gasoline or as to the arrival there of the NC-1. , ., - . ti r-77 ; r-r-if -i ;.f v k S3 , -V, T. - : i - U "I t ' v.

Urging Preparedness Programme In 1918 Effort to Embroil U. S., Is Declared. MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich.. May 15. Notice that the plaintiff in the 1.000. 000 libel suit of Henry Ford against the Chicago Daily Tribune, et al., will attempt to prove that the Tribune is urging military preparedness three years ago did so in an effort to aid Germany, was given to the jury here today by Attorney Alfred J. Murphy of counsel for Mr. Ford. The statement was made in the form of a final interrogatory to the entire jury, selection of which was finished today. "We will try to prove. said Mr. Murphy, "that the Chicago Daily Tribune in its campaign for prepared ness was doing so solely in an effort to embroil the United States in a war with Mexico so that American muni tions would be used on this continent instead of being shipped to the enemies of Germany." Lawyers on both sides professed themselves as satisfied with the in telligence of the jurors, all of whom are men of mature years. The Tribune lawyers expressed the belief that the charge of pro-German ism made by Mr. Murphy makes cer tain that the Tribune will be allowed tto present the immense amount of evidence and testimony it has gathered to prove that at the time the alleged libel was published, June 23, 1916, pre paredness had become a burning neces sity. It is the contention of counsel for the Detroit manufacturer that such evidence is irrevelant. HARRISON WEDS YOUNG GIRL (Continued From First Page.) "prexy" of the University of California had been in the room Miss Wrentmore might have made a face at him, so there. Arrangements Quickly Blade. Miss Wrentmore. dressed in a blue tailored suit, a small black straw tur ban with a single black feather stick ing from the side, a single red rose and I a radiant smile, called on Governor Harrieon early this morning at the Blackstone hotel to tell him she was ready. Harry L. Haas, recently resigned from a high army position at Wash ington, and a close friend of the gov ernor, hurriedly made arrangements. Archibald Harrison of New York, a brother, was Governor Harrison's best man at the wedding this evening. Miss Wrentmore's father, who is dean of the University of Manila, was not pres ent, but he had given his consent. The couple met at a dance in the palace last year in Manila. Others at the wed ding were W. D. Pemberton of Manila, Miss Ethel Huntley Caldwell, dean of women at the University of Washing ton; Mrs. C. J. Bean and daughter and Mrs. Henry R. Kasson, 54 50 Cornell avenue, Chicago. Couple Will Go Eaat. Governor Harrison and his bride will go to Washington, D. C, to visit his mother. Mrs. Constance Cary Harrison. Then the couple will go to New Eng land for a motor honeymoon. Miss Wrentmore was busy today buy ing feminine attire for her wedding trip. She fled from her university classes with nothing more than a suit case. Her mother protested at the dif ferences in ages between the governor general and the young co-ed, but she persisted that she knew her own mind. Other Obstacles Surmounted. A more recent obstacle was a diph theria quarantine on the Wrentmore home at Berkeley. Miss Wrentmore was said by the Berkeley health authorities to have disregarded the quarantine when she left a short time ago. She came to Chicago a week ago and applied to the Chicago health department for assur ance of her status. Because of the ne cessity for a delay during which throat cultures were taken, it was decided to have the ceremony here and Mr. Har rison came on from Washington. The health department found that the young woman was safely removed from any danger of contagion and arrange ments for the wedding were hastily begun yesterday. Mrs. Wrentmore, the bride's mother, was called suddenly back to Manila on May 4. Today she cabled her congrat ulations to the governor-general and Mrs. Harrison. There was a third obstacle, Mrs. lia ble Judson Harrison, the governor gen eral's second wife, today, in San Diego, CaL, obtained her final decree of di vorce. With that bar surmounted, final details for the ceremony were arranged at once. Mr. Harrison's first wife was Mary Crocker of San Francisco, who died In 1905. Couple Go East Today. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison are expected to start tomorrow for Washington to visit his mother. They will probably spend a few days in New Vork also. Then they will motor through New England on their honeymoon trip. ' The governor-general and Mrs. Har rlson plan to sail on June 12 for Manila. LA GRANDE UNIT GREETED Sanitary Train Ambulance Drivers Are Club Guests. One of the big receptions to oversea men given by a Portland organization was that tendered yesterday at th meeting of the Progressive Busincs Men's club at the Benson, when scores of overseas ambulance, drivers of th 117th sanitary train, a La Grande unit were welcomed by deafening applause, cheers and huzzahs.
