T ONDON, April 14.- Leon Trotzky,
*-* the Bolshevik Minister of War
and Marine of Russia, admits de?
feat on the eastern front in a wire?
less message from Moscow, which
has been picked up here. The mes?
sage reads:
"All our efforts must now bo di?

is the only front upon which we
have suffered defeats. We must
send old and experienced troops to
that quarter. It is absolutely neces?
sary for us to capture Ekaterinburg,

tween troops and street venders. The
troops fired a fusillade against the
venders.
This district was strongly cordoned
by the Alexander Regiment, with a
view to suppressing traffic in stolen
goods, and the venders forcibly op?
posed their removal.
The district still is strongly cor?
doned and tram cars barred.
Disptaches from Dusseldorf say that
Saturday night and Sunday morning
government troops attacked Snnrtnrirln
forces entrench".! in the Oberbilk
(juarter, in the southeastern section of
i the city, and after a violent bombard?
ment with artillery and mine throwers
ejected them.
The majority of the Spartaeides fled
in the direction of Ellcr and the troops
are no longer encountering serioua re?
sistance.
Brunswick Soviets Flee
Government troops sent against the
Brunswick Soviet are reported to-day
from Magdeburg to have come, into
contact with the outposts of the
Brunswick Communist forces, which
fled before the advance of the govern?
ment contingent.
A Dresden dispatch to the "Vos
j sische Zeitung," says that an assault
by Soviet forces on the citadel in the
I Neustadt section of the city, on the
1 right bank of tiic Elbe, is expected.
Frontier troops and soldiers from
Pirna, eleven miles southeast of
Dresden, have established themselves
near the Catholic church to defend the
northern end of the Friedrich

and Grenadier troops are reported to
be unreliable, their arms having been
i distributed among the insugents.

Dcriiburg Named

BERLIN, April 1 I. Dr, Bernhard
Dernburg, tonner Colonial Minister
and former Chief of the German
propaganda servie' in the United
.States, has been appointed Minister of
Finance in the national government, to
succeed Dr. Schiffer, who resigned last
week, the "Tageblatt" announces.
Dr. Dernburg is chiefly remembered
by Americans as the "unofficial am?
bassador" of Germany, or rather of
! the Kaiser himself, sent to this coun
' try in the first few months of the
world war to win over American public
j sentiment to the side of the Central
i Powers. Instead of achieving his
; task, he succeeded, through his tact?
lessness and inability 1" grasp the
elementary features of American
psychology, in alienating public opin?
ion from Germany altogether^ The
climax came in May, 1915, shortly
after the Lusitania sinking, win n
Dernburg issued a statement defend?
ing the act of the U-boat commander
? and attacking England as being re
, sponsible for the outrage. He aroused
| such a storm of protest, and indigna?
tion that his imperial master soon
i found it advisable to recall him from

Special Correspondence
ST. JOHN'S, X. F., April 14.?Heavy
weather with continued rainfall and
mists, which shrouded the harbor
again to-day, made inadvisable the
?tart of the transatlantic flight
planned by Captain Harry G. Hawker
and his navigator, Commander Mac?
kenzie Grieve, in their Sopwith 'plane.
When the downpour continued into
the afternoon Hawker gave up nil hope
of making the start to-day. The rain
had flooded the flying field, making
the launching: of a machine from it
practically impossible,
Captain Frederick P. Raynham, the
British aviator, whose Martyns'ide ma- I
chine is almost ready to attempt the
ocean flight, predicted that if weather
conditions a?-ain block Hawker's start \
to-morrow both machines would take
the air Wednesday in a real raco for
"The Daily Mail" prize.
Hawker gave what probably will be
his last interview before starting
across the ocean. His desire to make i
a start ahead of the Martyns'ide ,ma
chine, which will make a trial to-mor?
row, was turned into regret by the
drizzle. Hawker continues confident of
success and belittles all talk of danger.
Hawker stated that he had completed
his plans for the flight. His arrange?
ments for reckoning and sending back
word of his success were outlined in
detail to newspaper correspondents
who were on the f'wlil tn-ilm
Hourly Bulletins Promised
Captain Hawker said that immediate?
ly after the flight, begins the Admiralty
wireless station in the vicinity of the
airfield would issue hourly bulle! in .
i which will be sent by Commander
: Grieve to this station. Close contact
also will be kept with shipping so that
1 all vessels along the route may be in?
formed as to the movements of the
? Sopwith machine having Hawker and
Grieve on board.
Messages, indeed, already have been
senl to ships traversing the North
? Atlantic asking thai they keep a close
I lookout for news of the fliers. Hawker
b dieved the general interest in the at?
tempt would keep every wireless oper?
ator on everj vessel in transit across
the Atlantic keenly alive to the impor
] tance of getting news of the Sopwith,
' so its progress and the prospect of suc?
cess might be learned on shore and
help afforded if such be required.
Commander Mackenzie Grieve, is a
im lar final inlervicw, said hi ? i hicf
concern was as !<, weather conditions
ovci ic ice i rea from St. John's to
the Grai d hanks.
Commander Grieve explained '.hat,
roughly speaking, tin.' Atlantic area be?
tween here and Iceland may be divided
into four areas in which storms or
varying weather conditions manfesl
themselves. The ftrsl is that from New?
foundland to the (iiand Banks where
. condit ion ? are compl .cat- d at to-, ?enl
by the existence of heavy Arctic isc
.tine.; drifting southward en the Lab?
rador CMIl' nt.
<>no Area Little Kmi? :?
: ce I e mid -occa n .s a n a rea ri
tig which toe atmospheric condi
; tions above sea level are very little
i known, but where frequent storms are
j reported in early spring. Further east,
' is another area less uulotious tor vio
j lent weather changes, and beyond ?his
? again is a region around Uie Irish
coast where, because of the meteoro?
logical records of the United Kingdom,
conditions can be closely approximated.
Thus the western half oh the flight,
would be the most dangerous, he said.
If serious adverse conditions are met
at high levels after crossing the Grand
?tank-, the commander said, the ma
' chine will fly at a lower level along
the western section of the Atlantic ami
keep within touch of ships. Then, if
i*. is evident that, the effort to reach
the Irish coast is impossible, the ma?
chine will be headed for the nearest
ship, which will be boarded, if pos
'? sible, to save the lives of the navi
i gators, the machine being abandoned to
the elements.
Navy Will Inform
Public of the Time
Flight Is to Start
The public will be able to witness
(he star! of the giant naval flying
boats in their attempt to lly across
the Atlantic next month.
This was announced in an official
statement, given out yefl'erday by Liou
tenant Commander II. W. Scofleld,
Naval Aviation Aid, at the request of
Acting Secretary of tin- Navy Franklin
I). Roosevelt.
At least twenty Tour hours' notice of
the ?tart Will be given through the
newspapers, the an nouueetn. ?:. I stated,
This will enable all those who can get
to Rockaway Beach to witness the com
moncoment of the flight, from the
shores of Jamaica Hay.
The navy probably will use but two
of the big flying boats of the N. C.
type in the attempt, according to
Commander Scofleld, This is ciov to the
fact, that the ,N. C. 4 is s! ill under
construction in the Curtiss plant ?a
Carden City.
While the tentative date for the
flight. ?k only two weeks off, Hie Navy
Department has not decided upon any
of the major details in its plans. The
only part definitely decided upon is
lhat. tho first ?eg of the flight, will be
from Rockaway to Newfoundland.
"There is nothing radical in fho
projected plans of the flight," said
ommandor Scofleld yesterday. "Kvery
hing is proceeding upon lines of logi?
cal development. The department Is
Icing everything possible to make the
light, safe and anno. If we accom
llfgh the feat we want to do it ifi such
i manner that wo know it can be done
igain any day la nccossary.
"From Newfoundland three courses
ire open acres, sthe Atlantic. The de?
partment has misde do definite decision
vhieh it. wil Itako, and may not until
iffrr the ships arrive at Newfound?
und."
IL wag ?iiuiiit'd yefitordajr thtit tho
flight from Newfoundland will be con
: tinuous. No attempt will be made to
stop in midocean for fuel. Despite this,
ships wil lbe placed at regular Intervals
across the course chosen ready to ren?
der assistance in the case of accident.
The three courses open to the naval
! ships from Newfoundland across the
Atlantic arc:
1. rom Newfoundland to Cape Fare
i well, Greenland, 950 miles; thence to
Reykjavik, Iceland, 800 miles; thence
I to the north of Scotland, GOO miles.
2. From Newfoundland to the west
i coast of Ireland direct, 1.900 miles,
.'i. From Newfoundland to the Azores,
| 1,200 miles; thence to a point in
France, 900 miles.
Bad Weather Forces
Woods to Postpone
Flight From England
LONDON, 4;:ril 14.?On account of
bad weather Ufcjor Woods, one of the
entrants in the transatlantic flight,
was compelled to-day to postpone the
first leg of his flight from East Church,
on the Island of Sheppey in the
Thames, to Limerick. The major will
start across the Atlantic from Lim?
erick.
Vickers, Ltd., are about to start a
! transatlantic air service with air
, ships which the company was build
! ing for the British navy when the
| armistice was signed, and which are
' no longer needed, "The Pall Mall Gaz
I ette" says. The passenger rate will be
?48 ($240), and mail will be carried at
the rate of ?405 ($2,025) a ton.
The pioneer ship will have a gas
-capacity of 1,200,000 cubic feet, and
engines of 1,000 horsepower. Larger
i ships are being designed to carry 200
! passengers.
The air ministry reports but ittle
change ill weather conditions over the
Atlantic route. Variations In barome?
tric pressure were pronounced this
morning, with large areas of low
clouds and heavy squalls of rain and
no change in the present unfavorable
condition is likely to occur at this end
of the route during the next twenty
four hours. Conditions over New
fouidland arc more stable and show no
signs of becoming worse.
I Conp by Humbert
In Trial Likely
To Set Him Free
?Admission by Poincare of
Request for Interview
Regarded by Paris as
Victory for Defendant
New 3 ork Tribune
Special Cable Service
(Copyright, 1910, N*w York Tribune Inc.)
PARIS, April 14.?The Humbert af?
fair, like a maelstrom, draws in all
sorts and conditions of men. The
association of the name of President
Poincar? will remain a nine-day
wonder in Paris. It is regarded as a
victory for Humbert, and to-day opin?
ions are freely expressed that he at
least will be acquitted.
In seeking to obtain control of "Le
Journal" he supposed it would be pos?
sible to make arrangements through
young Pierre Lenoir when the latter
produced 10,000,000 francs, now known
to be German money. It appears clear
that Humbert from the first was not |
entirely ignorant of the suspected
origin of these funds, but nevertheless
he took no action to investigate the
matter.
Then, finding that a million francs
had been retained ny Lenoir and
Deschouses as brokerage fees, hi*
:upidity became aroused and he sought
to get rid of them. Here Bolo Pacha
?ntercd, and finally, by means of the
Bolo millions, Humbert ousted Le- ?
loir, retaining 1,000,000 francs broker?
ige on the Bolo deal for himself.
Took Suspicions to President
Throughout this period Humbert, in?
stead of informing competent author
ties of his suspicions, developed the '

habit of telephoning to the Elys?e
Palace, demanding an audience with I
President Poincar?, which, as chairman
of the Senate Commission on the
Army, he invariably obtained. At these
interviews Humbert divulged his sus?
picions, and the depositions of M.
Poincar? indicate that the latter in?
variably advised the reference of the
whole subject to legal authorities.
The prosecution now attempts to
show that these visits of Humbert to
Poincar? wore part of a far-sighted
attempt, in case trouble arose, to shel?
ter himself behind the fact that he had
communicated the facts verbally to the
President of the Republic. Hence the
importance attaching to Humbert's
