F., of two of the, three American navy seaplanes which started from Rockaway. N. Y., on the trans-Atlantic flight, insures- the success of tne whole en terprise In the opinion of naval of ficers here. When the report reached the navy department tonight tnat the second of the planes, the NC-3 had reached Trepassey Hay In to day's flight from Halifax, after it had been forced to turn back because of. a broken propeller, officers were unable to conceal their deep satis faction. The third plane, the NC-4, was still at Chatham Light, Mass., to- nigm, reiuung 10 continue me trip to Trepassey Bay. The plane may get started tomorrow and it was gen erally expected that the actual pass age across the Atlantic would not be attempted until the NC-4, also reached the New Foundland jump ing off place. The decision rests. however, with Commander Towers aad f may be dependent largely on weather conditions. Date Is Uncertain. It may be some days before th men and machines at Trepassey nay nre ready for thelong flight to the Azores. This is the longest lex of the I journey, 1,200 to 1,350 nauti cal miles, depending upon the land ing place selected. The NC-1, commanded by Com mander Bellinger, Is considered as having made a remarkable flight from Rockaway to Trepassey Bay, covering jU3t 1,0 (f0 miles. The to tal flying time was stx minutes less than 18 hours, or an average of more than 62 knots an hour. If that average is maintained, the Azores could be reached in less than 22 hours of flying. Lisbon, Portugal the first European stop,. is only 800 'nautical miles from that place. Undoubtedly, it was said, the off! cers and men aboard the planes will need rest and the machines need thorough overhauling before the ac tual flight for Europe is started. The preparations of the department, however, have been completed al ready and very brief nctice will be required, to set the radio signals of the station ships between Trepassey and the Azores going, providing th audible guide, posts for the air cruises. . BERLIN, Friday. May 9. (By The Associated Press) A "week of mourning" has been decreed by the government to give expression to the "sorrow and1 depession called forth by the 'announcement of the peace terms.

The United States navy may start an ait?hip on a trans-Atlantic flight al most simultaneously with; Its sea planes, it was lep.rned here today. Soon after the information came that the C-5, latest of American navy di rigibles, would leave Mo.itauk Point, N. Y., for New Foundland in a few days, it was asserted, that if this trial trip, is successful the blimp probably would be sent on Its way tc England. j The American project, kept secret during the long period f prepara tion, became known today when the cruiser Chicago arrived to 'act as a base ship for the dirigible. St. Johns will be the terminus of the 1200 mile test run and the starting point of the versea3 flight if one is attempted. ' Flagship Dispatched. . ( The Chicago, flagship of . Rear Ad miral Spencer S. Wood, had been ordered to proceed hurriedly from New York to St. Johns, a group of naval aviation experts on board, blx officers and twelve men beta as signed to duty as staff of the flying field to be established here. The Chicago had aboard also sup plies for the base, including car buys of gas for replenishing the dirigible's supply. These had been long prepared and bore stencilled la bels showing they were intended for "trial trip." ' The decision to test out the C-5 at present, it was said, was made because of the opportunity to make use of the string of patrols set up for the naval planes. WASHINGTON. May 10.

Others at the conference were Senators Cummlngs and Kenyon of Iowa; and Johnson. California. These senators, it was said, hope to force the organization conference of Republicans .to be public.
