(Special United Press Wice) London, May 31.---The Times and the Chronicle lauded the feat of the American aviators in flying across the Atlantic. "We would have liked to have been the first to fly across the At lantic," said the Times, "hut as we did not, we are heartily glad it was the Americans who achieved it. This is a great perfol'lance. "'The suspicion that we entertain unworthy jealousy is unfounded. 'T'here will be no sign of jealousy when the port of the pilgrim fathers griets their children's children." ''lihe Chronicle regrets any attempt to deplrecate tile achievement of Commllllallder ead, saying: "When all is said regarding the route of the flight and the help of ships along the way, the fart remnains that the Amnericans have crossed the Atlantic. W'ithout setting foot on Ili' ships they have demonstratcd lhat there is another way betweoen I'Europle and America bheside that open to Columbus. It's a tribute to their conimmon sense that they chose the best weather, the best roulte and in salrced their safety as far as possible. The ships along the way had nothing to do with their successful flight." W'ILLi HONOR AVIATORS.

The one most favored is that it he taken down and shipped back to the United States to preclude the possibility of its loss or destruction andu to have it plaged in the Smith sinian instistute ' for posterity to view. The navy department is without official news of whether Read's next move will be to fly or other wise travel to France in answer to Wilson's request that he and his cm'ew present the data gathered on thie trip to the aviation commission.
