By Associated Press.
Washington, May 31. —
The American naval trans-
Atlantic flight, begun at
Rockaway Beach. Long
Island. May 8. was successfully
completed to-day with the ar
rival of the NC-4 at Plymouth,
England, after a 500-mile "hop"
from Ferrol, Spain.
Announcement that Lieuten
ant Commander Albert C.
Read's plane, the sole survivor
of the squadron of three, had
reached England, was sent to
the Navy Department by Vice Ad
miral Knapp, at London. The time
given in the message, 2.26 p. m.,
confused officials here, who were
unable to estimate *the actual time
of the last leg of the flight.
The NC-4 left Ferrol at 2.23 a. '
m., Washington time, and should
have reached Plymouth six hours
later. However, the time given in
Admiral Knapp's message showed
she got in at 9.26 a. m„ Washington
time. On this basis the plane aver
aged under seventy knots an hour,
or lees than on any lap of her long !
voyage.
Will Go to Paris
After resting at Plymouth Com
mander Read and his crew will go
to Paris by direction of President j
Wilson, to give allied officers attend
ing the aviation conference there an
account of their voyage. The NC-4
meantime probably will be taken
apart for shipment to the United j
States. It may eventually be placed i
in the National Museum here.
NC-4 Starts on Its Way
A message was received here early .
this morning statiirg that the NC-4 I
was on its way to Plymouth, Eng
land. having left the Spanish port
of Ferrol at 6.40 o'clock in the
morning. The Navy Department re- ;
ceived word by wireless that Lieu- |
tenant Commander Read and his ;
flying crew passed the destroyer Bar
ney in the Bay of Biscay at 7.43
o'clock.
A dispatch from Paris, relayed to
the Navy Department, said the NC-4 j
had passed the destroyer ll.xzelwood !
at station No. 4 in the Bay of Biscay >
at 9.30 o'clock this monning. j
It was five hours after the plane j
had started for Plymouth that the |
Navy Department received its first j
word of the resumption of the flight. I
This was in a brief message from j
Commander Read, picked up and re- (
layed by the destroyer Harding, an
nouncing he had left Ferrol for
Plymouth on the last leg of the
trans-Atlantic flight 6.27 Green
wich (2 27 Washington time )
A dispatch from London dated j
May 31, 12.21 p. m., said the NC-4 j
was 50 miles southwest of Brest at
10 o'clock this morning, Greenwich j
time.
Motor trouble which caused the '
NC-4 to be regarded as the "lame I
duck" of the American trans-Atlan- 1
tic squadron until she left Trepassey J
bay, Newfoundland, prevented com- i
pletion yesterday of her voyage from j
Lisbon to Plymouth. After covering ;
100 miles of the last leg of the his- j
tory-making flight, the big seaplane j
was forced to descend at the Moos
dego river and she was held there !
too late to reach England.
With his engines repaired. Lieu- j
tenarrt Commander Albert C. Reed I
drove his plane 225 miles to Fer- j

W. W. Atterbury, vice-presitlen/ of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and who
served as director general of trans
portation of the American forces in
France, to-day told his personal story
of the problems and achievements
of the American transportation serv
ice abroad. He stepped ashore hero
when the steamship Rotterdam
docked from Brest.
One of the greatest achievements.
General Atterbury declared, was the
carrying of locomotives complete and I
ready to place on the tracks to
France. Other feats were the build
ing of mammoth docks, dredging
harbors and laying hundreds of miles
of track, necessary before the multi

CLEMENCEAU ANSWERS
FINAL NOTES OF HUN
Bulk of German Objections to Treaty Have Been Replied
to; No Modification of Terms Is Opinion in Peace Circles
By Associated Press.
Pari*. May 31.—Premier Clemen
ceau, as president of the Peace Con
ference, to-day replied to the last
two German notes. The official
statements on the replies have not
yet been issued. Most of the objec
tions raised on the German counter
proposals have, in the opinion of
French diplomatic and political cir
cles, already been set forth in sepa
rate German notes and duly an
swered by the Allies.
Consequently, it Is said, there can
be no modification of the peace torms
and there is no necessity for verbal
discussions in which the Berlin gov
ernment desires to involve the Allied
powers. It is understood that the
Council of Four will agree in taking
this view in answering the Germans.
No Fnrthcr Note*
The German peace delegation has
been notified that the period of de
lay for presenting observations hav
ing expired at 3 p. m. Thursday, no
further notes will be accepted from
the delegation.
It became known to-day that the
German counter-proposals were ac
companied by a covering letter of
ten typewritten pages. The letter,
apparently, is the work of Count Von
Brockdorff-Rantzau. as it is more
conciliatory than the counter-propos
als, which were elaborated by the
Berlin government

ORGANIZATIONS AT ODDS
Compensation Fund Charged
With Circulating Letters
Detrimental to Order
Cleveland, Ohio, May 31. An
order issued by W. S. Carter, vice
president of the Brotherhood of loco
motive Firemen and Knprinemen, re
vokes the charter of the William H.
Morne Lodgre, No. 673, of Harrishurp.
C harges made some time ago. alleging
violations of the constitution of the or
der, in issuing circular letters detri
mental to the order have been for some
time under a thorough investigation.
The Harrishurg organization in years
past had been recognized as one of the
most influential lodges in the United
States.
According to statements from Broth
erhood headquarters here, an organiza
zation known as the Brotherhood 1 re
lief and Compensation Fund became
attached to the Hnrrisburc lodge, and
under the jurisdiction of the latter cir
cular letters were issued to members of
railroad brotherhoods, urging them to
join the compensation fund. These let
ters. according to statements of offi
cials, contained propaganda not dis
similar to that circular by the Indus
trial Workers of the World and the
National Union of Railway Men, and
for a time it was feared would bring
about serious conditions in the brother
hoods. This compensation fund also
has headquarters In Harrishurg.
Officials Visit Harrishurg
President Carter of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
authorized a thorough investigation
and at intervals General Organizer
Jonas A. Mcßride and other officials
visited the Harrisburg lodge and se
cured information from the members,
copies of the circular letters and other
data, which was placed in the hands of
Vice-President Carter. Mr. Carter sub
mitted a report compiled by Timothy
Shea, one of the investigators, and his
action in revoking the charter was ap
proved. Shea acting as president during
the inquiries.
In revoking the charter attention is
called to the fact that all members of
the Harrishurg lodge were not disloyal,
and the report gives the names of those
who sanctioned the alleged injurious
letters, and those who had no hand in
the efforts to destroy the brotherhoods.
These loyal members will be taken care
of and transferred to other lodges. The
alleged disloyal members have been ex
pelled from the Brotherhood. The
president of the defunct lodge was F.
L. Floyd and the secretary, Charles
Lihau.

It's a Sad World Indeed
When You Try to Borrow
Money Without Security
James F. Payne and Ernest
Slaughter have good opinions of
themselves and the influential
friends and moneyed relations they
have are in keeping with their opin
ions, so they told the world to-day.
Said Payne to Slaughter, "I can
raise more money In thirty minutes
from my friends than you could in
thirty years." Said Slaughter to
Payne, "You're another," or words
more or less to that polite effect.
So each deposited $2 with a Mar
ket street barber as stakes to be
won on the bet and each set out to
canvass his friends. Payne returned
and Slaughter came back, both a
little crestfallen. All their friends
had died or moved away, or some
thing. Neither had been able to
raise a cent.
The stakeholder was about to give
up in disgust and return the stakes
to each man. But Slaughter re
fused. He said that last night or
some other time he had $3.70 while
Payne had but $3.20. The argument
got so loud that Patrolman Schelhas
was called. Slaughter is telling his
story over again in police court this
afternoon after he had waited in
vain for his moneyed friends to turn
up with cash bail.
OLD FAMILY OF HERON
VISITED BY HIKING PARTY
Birds Arc Said to Fly From Conewago to Chesapeake Bay
Every Night to Feed
The Harrisburg Natural History
Society held its third annual Cone
wago field excursion yesterday.
About 30 members of the society
walked from Conewago to Falmouth.
The party visited a colony of black
crowned night herons. These birds
have established a permanent colony
in a small woods about two niiles (
from Falmouth, to which they return
year after year. It is said that they
go to the Chesapeake Bay every
night, to feed, and return again
every morning. The birds are about
26 Inches long, and stand fully two
feet high. Their crowns and backs
are dull black, their wings pearl
gray, throats, white, legs and feet
yellow; three long white feathers, ex
tending from the back of the head,
are worn only at the nesting season.
The rrest is a very rickety platform,
built of sticks. The wonder Is that
they can weave any sort of lattice
out of such stiff unyielding material.
The nests are generally in the tops
of tall trees. Flocks become so at
tached to the home of their ances
tors, that only the harshest perse
cution drives them away. Toward
sunset all the aeries are emptied, as
the birds feed A night.

i The Rev. S. A. Bower Loses
Watches, Rings and

A bold holdup in North Third street
and two housebreaking cases have
been added to the comporatively
long list in the unusual crime wave
which has prevailed throughout the
city recently. More such cases have
been reported within the past ten
days than during any similar period

Blackjacked and knocked down by
two highwayman in North Third
street last niglit. John German, Jr.,
249 Emerald street, a State em
ploye, suffered no loss.
German was proceeding along
North Third and when in front of

shadows and attempted to grapple
with him. German made efforts to
defend himself, when one of the
men struck him with a juck and
felled him.
Cries for help, uttered by German
when he found himself unable to
ward off the men. soon brought as
sistance from nearby residences
Taking no time to go through Ger
man's pockets, the men set oft on
a run at top speed. The police were
notified, but the men had escaped.
No definite identification has been
furnished the authorities.
Loss Nearly S2OO
Jewelry to the value of almost
S2OO is reported to have been taken
from the residence of the Rev. S. A.
Bower, pastor of the Olivet Presby-
I terian Church, 1957 Bellevue Road,
'while the family was visiting.
Watches, rings and several pins
I were included in the booty secured
by the intruders. Entrance to the
residence was gained through a rear
door by forcing a defective lock. The
Bower family recently removed to
this city from Washington, D. C.
Nineteen dollars in cash and sev
eral valuable papers were taken by
intruders from the residence of Kirk
Shank. 404 Reily street, yesterday.
Entrance was gained to the house,
evidently by the use of a key, and
the house quite thoroughly ran
sacked. Shank refuses to say what
the missing papers are.
June Is to Have Warm
Start With Local Showers
Washington. May 31. Weather
predictions for the week beginning
Monday, are: North and Middle
Atlantic States:
Warm weather at beginning, fol
lowed Jy a change to normal tem
perature Tuesday or Wednesday and
below normal thereafter.
Local showers and thunderstorms
are probable first part of week. The
middle and latter parts will he fair.
Next to these birds' fondness for an
old homestead, its insatiable appe
tite is perhaps its most prominent
characteristic. It feeds on flsh, frogs
mice and other animal food. Evi
dently the digestion of a young
heron keeps in a state of perpetual
motion. The old birjls grow percep
tibly thinner while raising their
two broods a year. A choking noise,
like the painful effort to bring up
a flsh that has taken a wrong course
down the bird's long throat, but
which Is only an attempt to sing or
converse, that the old and young
alike are constantly making, keeps
the heronry well advertised. One
writer on birds likens this noise to
a lot of Indians choking each other.
The party next visited the "Gover
nor's Stables." This is a wooded sec
tion, strewn with massive rocks,
some piled on top of others, forming
caves and caverns, which the society
took great Interest in exploring.
Aboiit seventy different wild flowers
were seen on this trip, and forty
different birds. Next Saturday the
Society will visit Cly. York county,
which is directly across the liver
from Falmouth. ,
PRICE OF BEEF TO
COME DOWN
By Associated Press.
Chicago. May 31.—A decrease
in the price of beef is at hand,"
according to a statement issued
to-day by the Bureau of Public
Relations, American Meat Pack
ers' Association.
"Despite the fact that beef al
ready is cheaper than pork, poul
try and mutton, it probably will
decline further within the next
few days," said the statement.
"There are several reasons.
Cheaper, grass-fed cattle, whic'-t
hitherto have not been plentiful,
are now moving to markot. Ex
ports of beef from the United
States have practically ceased.
The Government has stopped
buying. It may take a few days
for the lower price to reach the
consumer."

If Tommy Shannon Can
Get to Pittsburgh the
Steel Mills Will Be Busy
Tommy Shannon, of Wilmington,
Del., sat on the.coping around the
post office building early this morn
ing and flgureel ?iow he might get
to Pittsburgh to-morrow on one of
I Mr. Hines' fast Pennsylvania rail
road trains. He needed the greater
part of $3.24. the sum Mr. Hinea de
manded as a special excursion rate.
I he sun had not broken through the
clouds and the prospect seemed
Bloomy for the Wilmingtonian.
"Could you put me in the way of
raising $3.24?" he said to a reporter,
who had broken records for tly? day
and got downtown a' few minutes
before 6 o'clock.
"I want to go to Pittsburgh," said
Tommy who was hiking from Dela
ware to lowa and showed newspaper
clippings to prove he had started
out of the neighboring state. "I
want to raise $3.24, and by golly. T
m'certainly goin" to get busy tryin'
for it," he said.
Then he unbosomed a plan for
i keeping all the steel mills in Amer
ica busy. Showing a small steel pa
per bailer, his own Invention, he
said that if the mills should start
making the bailer they not only
would be kept hustling turning it out,
but also furnish jobs for every
American soldier who came from
overseas. There would be no neces
sity for idleness until every firm need
ing the bailer had been supplie. "You
bet," he said, "there's the way to
boom the steel business." Then he
reverted to the Pittsburgh trip. When \
the sun glistened on the bright steel;
of the bailer his spirits took an up- I
ward turn and he looked about for
a man with a cheerful eounterv-ncej
and who showed more prosperity I
than the reporter who had listened j
to his appeal. j
