ftS DEAD, BACK OFJ HOHE SOIL
Daring English
cued at Sea;
Joyous In
London, May S3. (United Press)!
Harry Hawkar and Maekenxit Grieve
set foot on British aoii today, nearly a
week after they had been given up for
lost in their attempt to fly from New
foundland ta a cwipwita airplane.
The aviators, who are the greatest
national heroes of the moment, landed
at Thurso, Hootland, tfrom the Danish
tramp steamer Mary, which picked
them up in mid ocean early last Mon
day after they had been forced to de
vend into the aoa.
Hawker and Grieve were scheduled
to start this afternoon from Thurso
for London, where, judging from all
indications, they will be given a royal
welcome tomorrow. Britain has been1
jubilating ever since the news epread
like wildfire over the laud that Haw
ker and Grieve had 1een eaved.
Crowds Cheer at News '
Griev, immediately upon landing,
sent the following tuemage to his par
ents: "Safe, will wire later."
When news of the rescue was first
received, the Sopwith Airplnno com
pany telegraphed Thurso for confir
mation. Later it was confirmed by an
airplane courier.
41 Wo had ffiven him up for lost,"
declared Mrs. Orieve when ehe heard
the news of her husband's iieseue. She
was too overcome to say more. Grieve '
native town, Foxford, took on a carni
val appearance.
As the news spread there was great
enthuiain throughout Britain, There
were remarkable gcone in the streets,
in concert hall and in moving picture
theaters when the announcement of the
rescue was made. Crowds cheered nd
tossed hata ia the air.
Oh arches Give Thanks
A throng gathered around the home
of Hawker in Hurbiton, near London.
The town was toe-flagged as it has not
been since the war.
At the church the evening service
was ono of thanksgiving.
"For this is my son who was dead
and is alive again, who was lost and
U found," was the text of the ttev.
T, J. Todd. There were special pray
ers aad psalms of thanksgiving and the
doxology " Praise GodAfiotn whom all
blessiHirs flow" was sung. The rescue
was anuounced from many other pul
pits.
Mrs. Hawker received a telegram of
congratulation from the king and
queen, who a few days earlier had sent
her a telegram of condolence on the
supposed death, of her husband.
"Sunday is my lucky day," gri.
Hawker declared as crowds gathered
around her house.
Wife Predicted Return
She was almost unable to talk as
first, but later recovered her self pos
session sufficiently to say a few words
to the newspapermen.
"I said Saturday we'd have good
news on Sunday. I just felt it, Tliis is
the lucldest Sunday of all. I don't
know my husband's intention, but I
wouldn't be surprised if he tries the
flight again. A failure like this wont
stop him. It will only make him the
more determines!, Jf he dues try again
he'll get across next time. I've had a
presentiment throughout I would see
my husband agaan and have always
been confident . although everybody
condoled with me. I am overjoyed. I'm
too overcome to say more."
Outside the house a notice was post
ed:
"Mr. Hawker hat been found."
It was this that first brought the
news to SuCbiton and started the eager
cro.wds ahouldering and pressing close
around the doorstep of the famous air
man. According to dispatches received
here from Thnrsi, that village prepar
ed to give Hawker and Grieve a big
popular demomt ration when they start
for London.
Teed Pipe Dot Clogged
"The coursge of Hawker snd Grieve
places them in the first rank of the
pioneers of the air," declared General
Seely of the air ministry. "I can hard
ly give expression to my rejoicing that
their gallant attempt to cross the At
lantic has not t brave lives. The
distance covered hows that, given tine
weather, it, will soon be possible to
cross the ocean by airplane, but their
experience proves the trip still is ha
ardou even for the most perfect air
craft. It is better to wait a little while
and not take such risks until bet
ter arrangements can be made."
Officials at the admiralty believed
that the clified feed pipe that forced
Hawker to i'ent within esy reach
of the steamer Msry, which eared him
was a bies.vng in disguise. Ha l he con
tinued on hU voyage, they pointed out,
Itbcv would have run into a hurricane
Whih probably would have dashed his
( machine int-o the s far from aid. This
storm would have been encountered by
Hawker about two hours after be pass-
ed the spot where he came down,
The first direct word from Hawker

Aviators Res-
All Britain
Welcomes
was to the London Daily Mail, which
offered the $50,00(1 prise rfor the first
trans-Atlantie flight. This message was
sent from on board the Revengv and
said:
"The machine stopped owing to the
filter feed pipe from the-radiator to
the water pump being blocked with re
fuse, like solder shifting loo! in tht
radator. It was ne fault of the motor,
which was perfect frm start to fin
ish. There was no trouble ia landing on
the water. A dory-picked us up after
an hour and a half."
King Sends ConfrxtulaUona
The king sent a message to Mrs.
Hawker only a few hours before news
of the rcsuce. As soon! as word of the
rescue was confirmed,' the king hast
ened to send his telegram of congratu
lation. ;
Hawker and Grieve1, started, from
Newfoundland the afternoon of Sun
day May IS. They dropped from aiht
and were given up fot lost by British
officials. YeeteTday the Danish tramp
Steamer Mary, passing the north of
Scotland en route from New Orleans
to Denmark, signalled it had saved the
hands of the Sopwith airplane. The
Butt of Iwis station Immediately ask
ed: "I"Tt Hawker t'
"Yes," was the reply and the Mary
proceeded on her way. The news was
telegraphed to the admiralty offices in
London and orders were issued to re
move the aviators and land them. De
stroyers overhauled tht Mary and took
off Hawker anil Grieve. The following
official announcement?- made - to
day: Hawker and Grieve landed at Thur-

o'clock Tuesday evening. Both are in

the aviators had covered about 1100,
miles of their 1950 mile trip from New
foundland when they were forced down
Their average speed for that distance
was more than 100 miles an hour.

Kimball school is generally associated
in the public mind with Wilkmette, In
fact, it was established in ltR't) by
Henry D. Kitubell and his wife as an
auxiliary school; but at the end of the
first vear a separate corporation was
formed, a independent board of trus
tees was organised, and since that time
it has been an independent institution.
It was oreaidzed for the express pur
pose of training men for the ministry,
and both men and women for missionary
work. While it Is under the patronasr
of the Methodist Episcopal ehnrch, it Is
open to candidates for the ministry out
of all denominations. It is related to
Willamette University by general co
operation and by exchange of work, but
has never shared in any bequeths or
contributions to the university. Its sup
port is derived from the proceeds of
only the beginnings of an endowment,
and by the subaenprfcons ol persons m
turpsteil in its work.
Kimball Is a very young institution,
bavins thus far graduated only 39 Stu

only to impart Instruction but to en
courage research; believing that the
best equipment for thfl ministry is a
thorough theological training based up
on a well-balanced general education,
The affairs of the institution have
been most capably administered under

1'lans of bouse republicans lor Keep-
ing the United Htates out of war were
outlined on the floor today by Repre
sentative Martin B. Madden, Illinois,
who recently visited Kurope.
As a national poliry, Mudilen made
the following points:
Heparatiun from entangling alliances
abrond, such as are liable to result from
the league of nations.
Universal military training for
youths.
A reasonably small army.
Maintenance of a reserve among offi
cers who have returned to civil life.
Maintenance of a navy commensurate
with American commerce.
Complications Predicted.
Hpenking of the league of nations,
Madden said "it is very likely to lea
us into trouble through the defense of
political integrity and geographical
boundaries of foreign nations.
"1 am more convinced than ever after
a trip to r.urope that America should
stand aloof from entangling alliances,"
he continued, "We cannot mingle with
the peoplo there on equal terms. They
do not think as we do. They are sus
picious and their political hatreds are
unchangeable. Von cannot make tbctn
otherwise.
"The nations that are now being cre
ated are already at war with each other.
Nobody could maintain, the geographi
cal boundaries of the Balkans recog
nized r.s the cradle of war."
Madden called attention to the fact
that government eipenidtures for the
first 143 years of the republic were
125,000,000,000 while war appropriations
hsve piled up to sM.noo.ooo.noo.

He will be gone two months, returning

The need of President Wilson volcloj

twice within the Inst few months the

As early as 1916 the president told
friends that "my present term will be

the White House the president indicated
his iutention to retire and resnme his
