This inter- pretation of several much-disputed | been phases was given by Attorney General Palmer today as the accepted meaning of the termination of hostilities and the one on which administration offi- cials would proceed. The Trading with the Enemy act, however, is to continue in force until the date of the proclamation of the exchange, but the president may de- clare a prior date if he sees fit. “Duraticn of the emergency,” one of the phrases used in war commis- sions in the army and nayy, has not interpreted by Justice officials and Mr. Palmer declined to hazard an off-hand opinion. Demobilization, the attorney general said, would be completed when the ar- my was reduced to a peace basis, not necessarily the basis existing before the war, but authorized by congress for the future. The wartime prohibi- tion law is effective until President Wilson proclaims demobilization com- pleted.

Read, “skipper” of the N.C-4, at a dinner given here. tonight by the { American Flying club in honor of the airmen who won for the American na- vy the honor of being first to fly across the Atlantic. “Anyone who says that we will nev- er attain an altitude of 60,000 feet, that we will never be able to cross to Europe in the forenoon and return in the afternoon, that we will never be able to-accomplish the things that ap- pear impossible now, is a most courageous person, with a _ courage similar to those in_ the olden days who said that iron ships would never work,” asserted Commandér Read. Describing _his_experiences on his flight from Newfoundland to Lisbon, Commander Read predicted that in the future long distance planes would be much larger than the N.C. boats. Answering his own_ guestion as to “whether the results obtained from the flight were worth the expence,” by asserting that “an immense amount of information concerning seaplanes and operation over the sea for a long distance’” had been secured, Com- mander Read added that he would not “try to estimate the more intangible results of the increasing prestige to the navy and to the country.” TERRIBLE HAVOC WROUGHT BY INFLUENZA IN LABRADOR St. Johns, N.

When they had done so they got very vic- fous and - dangerous. We killed the dogs at the station (about 100) but could not destroy them all. There- fore the dogs and the graves had to be watched day and night. “After much deliberation we de- cided to bury the bodies in the sea.” Reporting that 70 of the 320 inhab- itants of the district of Sandwich Bay were victims of the plague, Rev.

SERIES OF MISFORTUNES FOR AMHERST EXPEDITION. Pernambuco, Brazil, Monday, June 30.—(By The A. P.)—The series of misfortunes which attended the plan of Professor David Todd, of Amherst college, to take observations of the solar eclipse on May 29 culminated last night in the destruction during a severe storm of the naval airplane which was carried on the steamship Elinor, which brought the expedition trom New York. The machinery of the Elinor broke down while .the steamer was -hound southward and it was with great diffi- culty that the vessel finally reached Pernambuco. When she arrived here the passengers and crew were suffer- ering from a shortage of food and wa- ter. After the Elinor reached here, the naval -airplane was removed from the ship and plans were made to give the residents of this city their first view of an airplane in flight. One of the most severe storms Per- nambuco has witnessed In several vears broke upon the city last night. The airplane was torn from its moor- ings and all efforts on the part of the naval officers in charge of it and the crew of the Elinor to save the air- plane were without avail. Professor Todd, who has charge of the astronomical observatory at Am- herst college, sailed from New York on the Elinor, which carried a naval airplane, 2 crew to fly. it and a num- ber of mechanics. The solar eclipse occurred on May 29. Professor Todd planned to make his observations on the airplane at an altitude of 10,000 to 15,000 feet. He also hoped to take photographs of the eclipse. The Elinor became disahled soon after she left New York and put in at Bermuda on May 22 for repairs to her engines.
