FLIGHT SUCCESS
Newfoundland-to-lreland
Air Trip Accomplished.
BRITISH PLANE VICTORIOUS
Captain Alcock and Lieutenant
Brown Land Vickers
Vimy at Clifden.
FLIERS STAND VOYAGE WELL
Run From St. Johns Across
Atlantic Made in 16 Hours
and 12 Minutes.
LONDON, June 15. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The final goal of all
the ambitions which flying men have
ventured to dream about since the
Wright brothers first rose from the
earth in a heavier-than-air machine
was realized this morning when the
young British officers, Captain John
Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Brown,
landed on the Irish coast after the
. first non-stop flight across the At
lantic.
Their voyage was without accident
and without unforseen incident, so far
as could be learned. It was a straight
away clean-cut flight achieved in 16
hours and 12 minutes from St. Johns,
N. F., to Clifden, Ireland, more than
1900 miles.
Run Amazingly Hazardous.
But the brief and modest descrip
tion which comes from the airmen at
Clifden tells of an adventurous and
amazingly hazardous' enterprise. Fog
and mists hung over the north At
lantic and the Vikers-Vimy biplane
climbed and dove, struggling to extri
cate herself from the folds of the air
plane's worst enemy.
She rose to 11,000 feet, swooped
down almost to the surface of the sea
and at times the two navigators found
themselves flying upside down only 10
feet above the water.
Before coming to earth near the
Clifden wireless station, Alcock circled
the wireless aerials, seeking the best
spot. But no suitable ground was
found, so he chanced it in a bog.
"Best Way to Cross" Brown.
The wireless staff rushed to the aid
of the aviators. They found Brown
dazed and Alcock temporarily deaf
ened by the force ofc the impact. As
soon as they were able to be escorted
to the wireless station they tele
graphed the news to their friends;
then had breakfast.
"That is the best way to cross the
Atlantic," said Lieutenant Brown after
he had eaten.
Describing the experiences of him
self and Lieutenant Brown, Captain
Alcock in a message from Galway to
the Daily Mail says:
'We had a terrible journey. The
wonder is that we are here at all. We
scarcely saw the sun or moon or stars.
For hours we saw none of them. The
fog was very dense and at times we
had to descend within 300 feet of
the tea.
Machine Covered With Ice.
"For four hours our machine was
covered with a sheet of ice caused by
f rjzen sleet. At another time the fog
was so dense that lr.y speed indicator
did not work and for r. few mniutes it
was very alarming.
"We encountered no unforeseen con
ditions. We did not suffer from cold
or exhaustion, except when looking
over the side; then the sleet chewed
bits out of our faces. We drank coffee
and aie and ate sandwiches and choco
late. "Our flight has shown that the At
lantic fKght is practicable, but I think
it should be done not with an airplane
or sea plane but with flying boats.
"We had plenty of reserve fuel left,
using only two-thirds of our supply.
"Lovely Field" Prores Bog.
"The only thing that upset me was
to see the machine at the end get
damaged. From above, the bog looked
like a lovely field but the machine
sank into it to the axle and fell over
onto her 6ide."
Captain Alcock explained the si
lence of his radio instruments during
the trip by saying that the wireless
propeller blew off soon after the air
plane left Newfoundland.

gall Company to Rebuild.
ALBANY. Or.. June 15. (Special.)
The big packing plant of the D. E. Neb-
ergall Meat company, situated one-half
mile northeast of Albany, was almost
entirely destroyed by fire this morn
ins. The loss is approximately 840,000,
with $22,000 insurance.
The packing plant wal one of Al
bany's largest Industries. Roy O .Bush
ong. secretary of the company, said
that the plant will be rebuilt at once.
The fire, which started In the boiler
room, was discovered shortly before
7 o'clock this morning and when first
seen had made considerable headway.
The Albany fire department arrived
promptly, but as the plant was located
beyond the city limits, the only water
available was from Cox creek.
The walls of the main building were
of cement construction and these re
mained standing. All of the motors and
machinery apparently are ruined. Two
truck loads of fresh meat were saved,
but all other stock and supplies in the
building were lost.
The plant was erected in 1915 and
had become one of the largest institu
tions of the kind in the valley. Only
last winter the company spent 810.000
for new machinery and equipment and
had a thoroughly modern and complete
plant. The company also conducts re
tail meat markets in Albany, Corvallis
and Lebanon. The plant was situated
adjoining the Oregon Electric railroad
nd near the Southern Pacific track.
where both lines enter this city from
the north.
The fire today was the most serious
and destructive in Albany in years. It
was the second big fire hero in three
days, as a sawmill on the Willamette
river, owned by Dr. J. L. Hill and oper
ated by the Albany Hardwood Lumber
company, burned early Friday morning.
MEXICO SHIES AT LEAGUE
Brlk-f Held That Scheme Will Jfot
Be on Solid Basis for Time.
WASHINGTON, June 15. Mexico will
not seek admission to the league of
nations "for the present," General Can
dido Aguilar, son-in-law of President
Carranza and head of a special mission
to the United States, said today in re
plying to a question as to the attitude
of Mexico toward 4he Monroe doctrine.
Mexico, General Aguilar said, will
not attempt to obtain admission to the
league of nations "for the present as
it is the opinion of the Mexican gov
ernment that the league of nations
could not be formed upon solid and
conclusive bases until after peace is
adjusted and consummated between the
belligerent powers."

PARIS, June 15. (Special Cables-
General Pershing is to go back to
America as chief of staff. This plan
has been tentatively approved by Presi
dent Wilson and is to be put into effect
within 30 or 60 days, which will depend
largely upon the outcome of the treaty
making. If German recalcitrancy makes
military demonstrations necessary the
commander in chief will remain to see
the show through to the final act, but
if things move smoothly he is to go
home as military boss of the army.
This is to be part of General Per
shing's reward for doing the job well.
Another reward may come in the form
of giving him the four stars of a full
general of permanent rank instead of
a rank that will expire with the end
of the war. He will succeed General
March as chief of staff, who very likely
will be sent to France to command such
forces as are still here and those which
are to remain here.
British Kxample Followed
In changing places with General
March, General Pershing will be fol
lowing the example set by Great
Britain, which has brought home Field
Marshal Sir Douglas Halg as chief of
staff and sent General Sir William
Robertson, whom he succeeded as head
of the British, forces- which, were for
merly commanded by his present suc
cessor; Unless such a plan be followed Gen
eral Pershing upon his return to Amer
ica will drop back into Insignificance.
He would be outranked ' by General
March as chief of staff and by General
Wood and General Barry, both of whom
are senior to General Pershing . as
major-generals.
General Pershing would have to take
up departmental work, which is viewed
as scarcely compatible with what he
has done over here for more than a
year.
Political influences are at work to
keep General March in his present po
sition, but it is improbable that they
will be successful, as General Per
shing's claims to special consideration

Change in Peace Terms Allows DC'
fcated Xation Army of 200,.
. 000 for Three Years.
PARIS, June 15. (By the Associated
Press.) Germany is to be allowed
army of 200,000 men for three years.
This is one of the changes in the peace
terms which has been sedulously kept
secret.
The reason given for this doubling
of the previous number of effectives
is the impossibility of adjusting the
armies of Austria, Poland, Czecho-Slo-
vakia and other new states propor
tionately to the previously arranged
100,000 men for Germany.
A general reduction of armaments
is to be negotiated immediately. '
Germany's admission to the league of
nations is fixed for "the near future
Her. admission will enable Germany
to bring up for discussion her eco
nomic propositions. Germany will be
given four months to submif to the al
lied proposals dealing with her total
indebtedness through reparations, and
methods for the payment thereofShe
may propose merchandise and labor.
The allies are to reply within two
months.
I A plebiscite for upper Silesia will be
taken within six to 18 months.
A clause deals with the protection
by the league of nations, of German
minorities inhabiting the districts tak
en from Germany. Another deals with
the inter-allied civil commission, which
will administer the left bank of the
Rhine, occupied by the allied troops, to
which the existing military commission
will be subordinated. '

PARIS, June 15. According to the

the chief German plenipotentiary, will
receive tomorrow a covering letter
with appendices dealing with each
question raised by the German counter
proposals and amendments to such ar

PARIS, June 15. The German reply
to the peace treaty submitted at Ver
sailles on May 7 maintains that the
enemies of Germany have forsaken the
peace of justice to which they had
pledged themselves in the armistice
negotiations for a peace of might.
The reply, an official summary of
which was made public here today,
protests against the proposed terms
individually and collectively and de
mands a return to the original agree
ments. It presses for verbal negotia
tions, and states that Germany expects
justice on a basis of equality and reci
procity. The reply follows the lines of the

German and Bolshevik Anarchists
Incite Serious Disorders;
Guard Fires on Mob.
PARIS, June 15. Serious anarchist
and bolshevik disorders broke out in
Zurich Friday night at S o'clock. Fir
ing was still going on at 9 o'clock, ac- j
cording to a dispatch received here
from Geneva.
The casualties in the disturbances at
Zurich are given officially at two per
sons killed and 17 wounded. One po
liceman was mortally hurt. Among the

and communists.
According to advices received here
this morning the local workmen's union
of Zurich, which has a number of ex
tremist members, was holding a meet
ing in memory of Rosa Luxemburg
when the news was circulated that the
secretary of the union, Conrad Wyss,
had been arrested on Wednesday. A
furious crowd marched to the prefec
ture, stoned the windows, broke down
doors and after a half hour of battering
looted the hall of- justice and burned
the archives in the principcl corrido
of the building. A guard fired on th
crowds, his shots being answered.
A number of casualties are reported,
but details are lacking, as telcphon

been tampered with. There are large
foreign colonies of anarchists, bolshe
viki and revolutionaries in Zurich.
