Azores Route
Chosen by U. S.
For Sea Flight
Rockavay to Halifax, to
Trepassey, N. F. ; to Horta,
to Ponta Delgada, to
Lisbon Is Navy Schedule
Start Next Week Settled
Exact Date Not Disclosed
but Hour Is Fixed at
7 o'Clock in Morning
The three giant naval seaplanes?
N'C-1, NC-3 and NC-4?will start from
Rockaway on the first leg of their
flight across the Atlantic Oeean next
week. This fact was announced yes
terday by Commander John II. Towers,
officer in command of the NC Seaplane
Division 1,
While Commander Towers refused to
;;'ate the exact date, he admitted the
start would be made early in the morn?
ing of the date chosen, probably about
7 o'clock. Plans for the flight rire so
arranged that landings at the terminals
of each lap will be made during day
light.
The route was also officially an
nounced by Commander Towers. It
follows:
"Naval Air Station, Kockaway, to
Malifax, N. S., distance. 540 nautical
miles. Halifax to Trepassey, N. F., dis?
tance 4f>0 nautical miles.
"Trepassey, X. F., to Horta, Island of
Payai, Azores, distance 1,200 nautical
:;iiles. If conditions are favorable sea?
planes will continue to Ponta Delgada,
San Miguel, Azores, and stop there in?
stead of Horta. Additional distance,
150 nautical miles. Total distance
from Trepassey to Ponta Delgada, 1,350
nautical miles.
Actual Sea Flight 2,150 Miles.
"Ponta Delgada to Lisbon, Portu?
gal, distance 800 nautical miles. The
actual transatlantic flight will be re- ?
garded as from Trepassey to Lisbon. I
No effort for undue haste will be made j
in getting to Newfoundland, this part
jof the trip being regarded as in the
nature of trial flights.
"From Lisbon it is expected to pro- '
j ceed to Plymouth, England, distance,
| 775 nautical miles. The average speed
j of the seaplanes, disregarding wind,
i will be about, sixty-five nautical miles
an hour."
"Arrangements have been made to
; have base ships with necessary gaso
' Lene, oil, etc., at the various ports
: named above. (Note.?A nautical mile
; is 1.15 statute or land milts.)"
The NC-4 made a highly successful
! maiden flight of forty minutes yester
! day morning. The craft took off with
; a wind of twenty miles an hour while
carrying a total load of 22,000 pounds.
? This is the first time such a load has
been lifted with the wind.
If the seaplanes leave Rockaway at
7 o'clock in the morning it will mean
they will descend in Halifax Harbor
i at 3:30 o'clock the same afternoon.
Night Flight Unavoidable
The flying time from Trepassy to
Horta will be about eighteen and a
half hours. As the boats are flying in
a general southeasterly direction, they
will be running in daylight, due to the
? difference of time. Should they leave j
! in daylight it would mean they would
| fly through about seven hours of dark
1 ness.
Arrangements for presenting meteor
; ological data to commanders of the
, seaplanes have been perfected. The !
! forecasts made from this date will de- !
termine the flying dates'of the ships, j
The famous Gth Battle Squadron,
comprising the dreadnoughts Xew
York, Texas, Wyoming, Arkansas, Utah !
and Florida, sailed yesterday to take
up their stations in midocean. This '
squadron, under command of Rear Ad- ;
mirai Hugh Rodman, was part of the j
Allied Grand Fleet during the war. i
Admiral Rodman's flag was flying from i
the battleship New York when the j
squadron put to sea.

Cross Winds Postpone
Ocean Flight Again
ST. JOHN'S, N. F., May 1.?After a !
day of expectancy in which a start in

Aerial Commerce
Within a Year Is
Forecast by Baker
"Ocean Has Divided Us, Let !
the Air Unite Us," Says
Churchill to Aeronautic
Congress at Shore
ATLANTIC CITY, May 1.?The secona ,
: Pan-American Aeronautic Congress was '
opened officially on the Steel Pier here '
; this afternoon upon receipt of a wire- !
less mesage from Newton D. Baker,
Secretary of War. who is in France. His
message follows:
"I send greeting to the second Pan
American Aeronautic Convention. Here
in France one sees the great triumph |
which has been achieved in aeronautics
during the war, and America's contri- -
bution, its value and significance.
"The future of aviation Is as Illimi?
table as the realm with which it deals.
The marvellous strides aviation made
under the impetus of war demonstrate
that the world is on the verge of an
aerial conquest that makes commercial
transportation lines assured within the
present year.
"With the thousands of young men
trained for combat in the world war
as the nucleus, the lead of America in
commercial development of the air
seems to be no less probable."
Messages expressing good wishes
were received from individuals and
clubs in many countries. There was
a cable message from Winston Church?
ill, British Minister of Munitions,
and M. G. Menocal, President of Cuba,
sent a message by aeroplane. His mes?
senger was Victor Hugo Barranco.
Other messages were from Alberto
Santos-Dumont, the Norwegian Aero ;
Club and the Royal Aero Club of Great
Britain. The message of the British
Minister of War was:
"May this new art and science prove
a bond of friendship between the Eng?
lish-speaking peoples. The oceans have
divided us; let the air unite us in the
comradeship of daring and the pains?
taking study of means of mutual pro?
tection."

Serbian King
Thanks U. S. for
Aiding Nation
Peter Says American Red
Cross Has Turned Tears
of Refugees Into Smiles
of Joy; Ruler in Greece
ATHENS, April 27 (By The Associated
Press).?King Peter of Serbia, who is
living quietly alone in a little subur?
ban retreat overlooking the Bay of
Pirseus, six miles from here, expressed
through The Associated Press, the "pro?
found gratitude of the Serbian nation
for the Christian charity of the Amer?
ican people so marvellously organized
by the Red Cross."
The venerable monarch, who will be
seventy-five years old in June, spoke
with great feeling of the assistance
given by Americans to the population
of Serbia and to tens of thousands of
refugees, repatriated prisoners, and
wounded soldiers who since the armis?
tice have poured into the country over
every road and mountain pass.
"The smiles which the American Red
Cross has brought to the faces of my
people," he said, "are the best ex?
pressions of gratitude I can give the
American nation, for i.hose smiles are
but the reflection of hearts and souls
touched by the kindness and charity
of a greater people."
King Peter was prompted to speak
by two photographs he had received
from Major Daniel J. McCarthy, of
Davenport, la., in charge of Red Cross ?
relief work at Skopolje, Serbia. One .
showed a group of ragged, barefooted,
despairing women and children in I
front of the Red Cross relief station at
that place, and the other showed the j
same group after having received j
baths, clothing, and food from the Red
Cross. One was a picture of misery'
and dejection, the other of content- |
ment and joy.
"You have dried tears, assuaged sor- |
row, and alleviated the sufferings so
painfully depicted on the faces of our
mothers, .sisters, and children," said |
the King.
Grateful to America
"Personally, I am profoundly grate?
ful for this Christian charity," he con- |
tinued. "As one sprung from the I
people, and indeed a part of them, I do '
as they do, ;.nd simply say to the !
American people: 'Thank you, thank'
you, with all my heart.' The Serbian !
nation will ever be grateful to the j
generous givers of the United States |
who have made, and are making, the ;
wonderful work of the American Red I
Cross possible. In every city of Serbia j
to which the American Red Cross has :
carried its message of help and sym- |
pathy, barefooted, hoiiow-cheeked, and
broken-hearted Serbian people have
been converted into new human be?
ings, and their sufferings and sorrows
have given way to comfort and happi- j
ness."
King Peter, who has been living in
this part of Greece for more than a
year, a fact which has been unknown
to the outside world, asked to be ex?
cused from commenting upon the po
I litical situation. He said he was an old
| man who had relinquished the cares
of state to younger hands and was
I seeking the quietude of rest that
! comes at the end of a long public ca
| reer. He is no longer participating ac
? tively in the affairs of the Serbian
Government, and is content to leave
them to his son, Prince Regent Alex?
ander, and the Cabinet.
The aged ruler's health, while it has
improved since his last illness, is still
far from good. His right side is para?
lyzed, and he spends the most of the j
time in bed. being able to walk only
with the aid of crutches. King Petei
is living in a simple, unpretentious six
1 room flat that might be the home o :' a
laboring man. The rental is less than
: $35 per month and the furniture and
i equipment are plain to the point of
j modesty. Everything about the place
I suggests the utmost simplicity. The
| King does not even enjoy the common
j convenience of an automobile. When
I he is able to go travelling he prefers
I to use a motorcycle which is equipped
j with a side car. This modest con
I veyance, which is of American manu
: facture, is driven by the King's faith
! ful sergeant 'and bodyguard, who was
assigned to the King from the Serbian
army. Before his illness tne King was
a familiar sight on the roads in the
neighborhood of Athens, where every?
body knew him by his motorcycle and
his simple, democratic manner.
As soon as the railroad from Saloniki i
to Belgrade is restored King Peter ;
plans to return to the seclusion of his j
: private monastery outside his capital, :
? where he will spend his remaining days '
j aloof from the strife of war and the
stress of public life.
