A canvass last night among the mem bers of the crews of all the Ameri can Navy's NC boats regarding the I feasibility of a direct Atlantic flight I by the NC-4 developed a wide diver gence of opinion. No one would say it was impossible or even impracti cable but there was general agree ment that much depended upon the direction of the wind and that J there was greater prospect of success | in flying from Newfoundland to Ire | land than the reverse. Lieutenant E. F. Stone, pilot of the | NC-4, was positive no attempt would j be muVc to fly home byway of Ire j land and Newfoundland. He point i ed out that all the NC planes are I still in an experimental stage and ! that none of them was built for a I direct Atlantic flight./ He thought ] the chance of a favorable wind from this side was too remote to make serious consideration of the project possible. Advocates of the plan contended that if one or two members of the crew were dropped, enabling the plane to carry a greatly increased supply of gasoline, there was an ex cellent chance of success. They ar gued that the destroyers used to aid this flight could be stationed along the direct course to ensure the safety of the crew even if the plane ca#ae to grief. Lieutenant David H. McCulloch, of the NC-3, saw no possibility of a return trip to Newfoundland, call ing attention to the prevalence of fogs and icebergs and adding that only airmen could appreciate the difficulties thus presented. The opinions of the commanders of the three planes were not avail able, as they have been ordered to attend a conference at Paris at which it is expected the question will be thoroughly discussed. The message of congratulation from King George, forwarded through the American embassy at London, said: "The King wishes to congratulate His Excellency, the American am bassador, on the safe arrival of the American seaplane and ask him if he will convey his congratulations to Mr. Daniels and the American Navy." The King sent Sir Charles Cust, his equerry, personally to convey this message. It was relayed to Presi dent Wilson at Paris. Hawker Glad of Success London, June 2.—"lt is a jolly fine effort and I am very glad they got across," was the comment of Harry G. Hawker when he learned of the arrival of the NC-4 Ply mouth. "Immediately I learned the news I wired the crew my hearty congratulations on their splendid achievement. It was a splendidly or ganized flight. I am particularly glad it was the NC4 because she had all the bad luck at the start." Wives of Army Men May Go to Europe to Join Them Colonel James B. Kemper, the head of the Army Recruiting Par ty, with offices at 325 Market street, Harrisburg, announces that the War Department has released the follow ing interesting information: "The Chief of Staff has approved recommendations from the purchase, storage and traffic division, which establish the following polity with reference to the transportation of members of the immediate family of officers assigned to duty with the Army of Occupation in France and 1 Germany. "The application for transporta tion must originate with the officer serving and such application must be transmitted to the War Depart-, mcnt through the Commanding General of the American Expedi tionary Forces, thus insuring (a) that the officer desires his wife or other immediate member of his family to join him; (b) that such requests meets with the approval of the Commanding General, A. E. K„ and that the period of duty to which the officer is assigned will be suffi cient to justify his wife or other immediate member of his family joining him. "In all cases the application must be accompanied by certification from the officer or tnlisted man that the request for transportation is for his wife or a member of his immed iate family and that such member is dependent upon him for support. "The officer or enlisted man should further state that he is able to provide accommodations for his wife or member of his family and to care for such person without finan cial assistance from the United States, and that, in the event of transportation being unavailable, ho will be prepared to obtain for them return passage on a commercial liner." Many Persons Change Butchers in England London, June 2. everyone in England has changed butchers in the past few weeks or is doing so now. When strict rationing was in force each householder was compelled to register with one butcher and buy all meat from him. People were standing in: line for the butcher's supplies, his hoppers were cleaned every day before his customers could get what they wanted, and he was Irritated at price and allotment. A few sharp words and soon the butch er and the consumer were hardly on speaking terms. This went on during the war because the butcher if he had meat was forced to supply the registrant, he could not over charge him and the registrant was forced to purchase from that butcher. The result was that when the government decided householders could register with another firm nearly everybody did. They all cal culated they could not injure their position.

United States and the liberated na i tions of Centra] Europe through the ■ American Relief Administration, Ed gar Rickard, joint director of the | American Relief Administration, to- I day issued a statement giving the : fundamental reasons why the Ad ■ ministration extended its relief work ;to include the transmission of money. Rickard said that, in many quar i ters, the impression had grown up ! planned for every state in the Union, i within the next few months. Even jtually every project that falls within | the scope of the movement, at home | and abroad, is to be listed and the 1 aggregate summarized in terms of I dollars, men and materials needed. I It is estimated that the survey will I reveal a heed of more than 200,000 additional workers in the home and I foreign fields. in this country that it was necessary ' for foreign-born Americans to buy food here in order to transmit mon ey to their relatives and friends in European countries. Rlckard em phasized the fact that this impres sion was an erroneous one and that the American Relief Administration simply receives money orders through American banks which are payable in the currency of the coun tries to which they are sent upon ".rrival on the other side. Foreign ers deposit their American dollars in the banks here and the banks j turn it over to the American Relief I Administration, which sees that the I ! orders are paid in currency to the j I persons to whom they are sent, i There is no compulsory purchase of food required either of the payer or I payee. The American Relief Ad- | ministration ships food in bulk and j does not receive packages of food ' for shipment. "The intervention of the American Government in Europe can be divid- i ed into four district stages. Rlckard j said yesterday: "First, armed inter- | vention; second, suggestion of peace j terms which finally led to the sign ing of the armistice; third, supply of relief to the liberated countries; fourth, re-establishing of commerce between the liberated nations and the outside work.
