Lauds Dr. Pessoa, President
Elect of Brazil, and Wishes
Him Success in Office He
Speaks on Relations Be
tween North and South
'America.
Paris, May 27.—"It is very delight
ful, lor one thing, if I may Bay so,
to know that my presidency is not
ahead of me and that his presidency
is ahead of him," said President Wil
son in referring to Dr. Epitaclo Pes
Boa, president elect of Brazil, at the
dinner given Dr. Pessoa by the Pan
American peace delegation last night.
"The honor has been accorded me.
President Wilson said in beginning,
"of making the first speech tonight.
I want .to say that I feel very much
at home in this company, though aft
er all I suppose no one of us feel
thoroughly at home except on the
other side of the water. We all feel
in a very real /sense that we have a
common home 'becausie' we live in the
atmosphere of the same conceptions,
and I think with the same political
ambitions and principles.
Pays His Respects.
"I am particularly glad to have the
opportunity of paying my respects to
Mr. Pessoa. It is very delightful, for
one thing, if I may say so, to know
that my presidency is not ahead, of
me and that his presidency is ahead
of him. I wish him every, happiness
and every success with the greatest
earnestness, and yet I cannot, if I
may judge by my own experience, ex
pect for him a very great exhilaration
in the performance of the duties of
his office, because after all, to be the
head of an Ameriaan state is a task
of unrelieved responsibility.
"American constitutions, as a rule,
put so many duties of .the highest sort
upon the president, and so much of
the responsibility of affairs of state
is centered upon him, that his years
of office are apt to be years a little
weighted with anxiety, a little bur
dened with the sense of the obliga
tion of speaking- for his people, speak
ing what they-really think, and en
deavoring to accomplish' what they
really desire..
"I suppose no more' delicate task is
given any man than to interpret the
feelings and the purposes of a great
pejople. I know that if I may speak
for myself, the chief anxiety have
had has been to be the true Interpre
ter of a national spirit, expressing no
rate and peculiar views, bu:'
'-Mr"express thS^gefierfcl spirt
nation.
Nation Iiooks to President.
"And a nation looks to its presi
dent to do that and the comradeship
of an evening like this does not con
sist merely of the sense of neighbor
hood. .We are neighbors. We have al
ways been friends. But that is all old.
Something new has happened. I am
not sure that I can put it into words
but there has been added to the com
mon principles which have united the
Americans time out of mind a feeling
that the world at large has accepted
those principles, that there has gone
a thrill of hope and of expectation
throughout the nations of the world.
which somehow seems to-have its
source and fountain in the things we
alwayfe believed In. It is as if the pure
waters of the fountains we had al
ways drunk from had been put to the
lips of all peoples, and they have
drunk and were refreshed.
"And it is a delightful thought to
believe that these are fountains which
sprang up out of' the soil of the
Americans. I am not, of course, sug
gesting or believing that political lib
erty had its birth in the American
hemisphere, because of course, it had
not, but the peculiar expression of it
is characteristic of modern times,
that broad republicanism, that genu
ine feeling and practice of democracy
that becoming characteristic of the
modern world, did have its origin in
America, and the response of the peo
ples of the world to this new expres
sion is, we may perhaps pride our
selves,, a response to an American
suggestion.
"It that is true we owe the •jvorld
a peculiar service: If We originate
great, practice we must ourselves be
W9rthy of them. I remember not long
ago attending a very interesting meet
ing which was held in the interest of
combining Christian missionary effort
throughbut the: world mean elim
inating 1-the rivalry between churches
and agreeing that Christian mission
aries should not represent this, that or
th'e other church, but represent Che
general Christian impulse and princi
ple of the world. I said I was' thor- I is signed by
oughly in sympathy with the princi-I
pie, but that-I hoped if it was adopted
that the Inhabitants of the heathen
countries would not come to look at
us, because we were. not ourselves
united, but divided that while we
were seeking them to unite, we our
selyes did not set the example.
"My moral from that recollection
is this: We, among other friends of
liberty, are asking the world to unite
in the interest of brotherhood and
mutual service and the genuine ad
vancement of individual and corpor
ate liberty throughout the world,
therefore we must set. the example.
Made an Atttmpk
i"I will recall here to, some-of yon
an effort that 'I myself made some
years ago, toon after I assumed-the
presidency ofthe United States/to do
that very thing, I was urging that
other states of: America, unite with.
the United States in doing something
which closely resembled the .forma
tion of the present League of Nations.
I was ambitious to hav6 the' Americas
do the thing first and set the example
to the world of what we'are'now
about to realize. I had a double ob
ject in it,. not "only my pride that the
Ameirlcas should set the example- and
show the genuineness of their princi
ples, but that the United States should
have a "he* relation to .the other
Americas.
."The United States upon "a famous
occasion warned the governments of
Europe that it would regard It as an
unfriendly act If they tried to over
turn :,free institutions ,ln the, Western

SEC. DANIELS
Declares Building Battle
ships Would Not Help
League of Nations.
Washington, May 27.—Authoriza
tion of construction of more capital
ships than were included in. the navy's
•1916 building program was declared
by Secretary Daniels to be "inadvis
able" whlie testifying today before
the house naval affairs committee.
The secretary said since the United
States had initiated the League of
Nations it should show its "confidence
in that covenant," by not authorizing
at this time the ten battleships and
ten scojit cruisers proposed several
months ago by the navy department,
The secretary said the general
board was now discussing the advisa
bility of constructing composite ships
instead of the battle cruisers author
ized in the 1916 program. The deci
sion of-the board would be given to
the .committee within the next few
days, he said.
"If the composite ship is agreed
upon," he said, "the type will be used
for two of the battleships authorized
in 1916 which have not yet been
started and for the six battle cruis
ers."
Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the
bureau of construction and repaff-said
that while the composite ship did not
carry as heavy armament as the pres
ent battleships, it had greater speed
and had other points of superiority
over existing types of ships. He de
clined, however, to give an opinion as
to the advisability of adopting the
type.
"When I appeared before the naval
committee last," Secretary Daniels
said, "I recommended a new three
year program and the committee
favored the construction of ten addi
tional battleships and ten additional
scout cruisers. That however, was
before the peace conference discus
sions started. Since then the Allied
nations have been in conference and
have drafted the covenant of a League
of Nations in which I have the great
est confidence. It is the most mq
mentous document in 2,000 years.
I "Since America has initiated this
if a coverr&ilt whlch shall 'begin a new era
in the world, we shduld:shbw our con
fidence in that- covenant by not at
t™time authorising again this iti
crfease in the flew building program."

72.—North
Dakota women cannot express their
opinion of Senate Bill 134. the so
called educational bill, at the refer
endum election to be held June 26.
This important opinion was hand
ed down at noon today by Attorney
General Langer in response to a re
quest from Secretary, of State Hall.
There, had been a division of opinion,
and a quite general, belief that be
cause the constitution gives women a
right to vote on all educational mat
ters, including the election of a state
superintendent of public instruction,
that they would have the same privi
lege in connection with Senate Bill
134, which vitally affects the whole
public school system as well as the
higher institutions of learning and
the office of state superintendent. Mr.
Langer holds that this opinion is not
supported by the constitution nor by
decisions of the North Dakota su
preme- court in matters of a similar
nature.

Tell Story.
Edinburg, Scotland. May 27.—Harry
G. Hawker and Lieutenant Comman
der AlacKenzie Grieve, who were res
cued bv the Danish ship, Mary, after
the airplane in which they were at
tempting to cross the Atlantic had
alighted in mid-ocean, arrived here
this morning on their way to London
from Thurso, from where they were
landed by a British warship yesterday.
They were seized as they left the
train and lifted to the shoulders of a
crowd which bore them to a hotel,
where they had breakfast. They were
heartily cheered when their train left
the station at 10 o'clock.
Delegates Praise Him.
Paris, Monday, May 26.—The joy
of the Australian delegation at the
peace conference over the news of
the rescue of Harry G. Hawker, was
expressed in a statement issued by It
tonight by Premier Hughes.
"The world will not forget his
plucky attempt," the statement said.
"Australia whose soldiers have done
things the world will not forget, is
proud of Harry Hawker and the
Australian delegation hails him
as a worthy son of the great land
which gave him birth. The flighi was
for the purpose of testing the ability
of an airplane to cross a great space
in a new way. Technically the air
plane has yet to be proved but Hawk
er's attempt has more than proved
the ability of the men who operate
those machines. It is a great thing
to know we can still ~roduce brave
men it is perhaps greater that the
whole world after five years of war
still admires bravery."
Story Is Told.
London, May 27.—The correspond
ent of the Daily Mail, who is travel
ing with Harry G. Hawker and Lieu
tenant Commander MacKenzie Grieve
on their way to this city sends from
Inverness, Scotland, a detailed ac
count of the difficulties encountered
by the two airmen.
During the. first four hours of the
voyage, the air was freezing cold but
the airmen .were comfortable. Hawker,
however, was unable to steer a good
.course because of the clouds, being at
times forced to go around them.
Weather Bad.
When about 800- miles out to sea,
the weather continued bad and
clouds rose to great heights. Several
times Hawker tried to clear them but
lost height at every attempt and eajch
time the machine was started climb
ing the "Water in the radiator boiled
furiously which involved waste.
At last, however, the airplane
reached a height of 12.000 feet and it
was decided to stay at that level for
the rest of the trip.
"We had not as yet doubted being
successful in getting across." Hawker
said.
"We continued at this height until
we had been in the air twelve and a
half hours. Then came heavy clouds
again. They were very high, reach
ing a level of 15.000 feet and being
very black, it was almost imposoiiile
to steer through them and the water
boiled badly."
Hawker described bis efforts to fin
the cause of the trouble with the wa
ter cooling system and said he con
cluded something had worked into the
water filter between the radiator and
the pumps and that the only thing to
do was to stop the motor and put the
nose of the machine down steeply,
with the hope that this might clear
away the refuse in the filter. This
was
successful.<p></p>ALLIESWLLL

WASHINGTON—THE
NC-4 HAS LANDED AT
LISBON. ....
A
Ponta Delgada, May 27.—(By The
Associated Press.)'—With Command
er A. c. Read, confident he would
reach the coast of Portugal before
darkness tonight, thus achieving the
coveted honor of making the first
trans-Atlantic flight, the U. S. sea
plane NC-4 started for Lisbon this
morning at 10:18 o'clock Greenwich
time, or at 6:18 a. m. New York
time.
The crew of the seaplane which was
the same as that which made the
memorable flight from Newfound
land to the Azores, boarded the plane
an hour before sunrise, but it was not
until several hours later that the
giant machine taxied outside the
breakwater, hpaded to windward and
rose gracefully into the air. She cir
cled the harbor and then headed for
her destination amid cheers from the
sailors and soldiers who lined the
decks of the ships in the harbor and
the crowds on the piers, together
with the shrieks of whistles from all
the steam craft within sight.
The din of the salute was kept up
for several minutes, the plane mean
while disappearing in the eastern sky.
Weather Excellent.
The weather was almost perfect.
There were but few clouds In the sky
and only a slight northwest wind was
blowing. Weather experts predicted
that the planes might encounter
cloudy weather and possibly occasion
al rain squalls midway on the course
but this was not expected to interfere
with her progress.
Lieutenant Commander Read in
tends to remain in Lisbon overnight
and start for Plymouth, England to
morrow morning, weather permitting.
The course between here and
Portugal is marked by 14 American
destroyers, stretched out along the
route to guide the fliers and If neces
sary give them assistance.
The departure of the NC-4, which
was set for an early hoyr wM delayiMl
by trouble with the 'fdurth encipe gt.
the" plane.
The first report from the NC-4 waa
received as' she was piaasirig station
NO. 1 at 11:13 o'clock: Twenty-flv*
minutes later, at 11:3'8 a. m., -she re
ported that she had passed at that
moment station No. 2.
The seaplane sent a wireless mes
sage to Admiral Jackson after start
ing, which read:
"We seem to be on our way. Many
thanks for your hospitality."
On a successful flight of the Unit
ed States naval seaplane NC-4 from
Ponta Delgada to Lisbon today de
pended the completion of the trans
Atlantic flight started, from Trepassey,
N. F., on May 16, this seaplane be
ing the one survivor of the three that
essayed the trip.
The U. S- naval seaplanes NC-1,
NC-3 and NC-4 started from Rock
away Point, N. Y., on May 8 on the
preliminary leg of their flight across
the Atlantic. The NC-1 and NC-8
made a continuous flight to Halifax,
reaching there in safety. The NC-4.
however, encountered engine trouble
and was forced to alight on the sea
off Chatham, Mass. It was towed in
to the harbor and repairs were rush
ed there and the machine was put- in
shape to continue its voyage.
On May 14 the (NC-4 left Chatham
and arrived at Halifax in safety. The
next day it continued its flight to Tre
passey, N. F., where It joined the
NC-l and NC-3 which had reached
Trepassey, May 10.
The three seaplanes Jeft Trepassey,
May 16 on their trip to the Azores
and the NC-4 arrived at Horta, in
the Azores the next day, having been
in the air 13 hours. The NC-1 lost
her way in a fog and her crew was
picked up by a Greek steamer and
taken to the Azores, the plane being
lost. The NC-3, after losing her bear
ings, alighted on the sea, from which
Commander Towers, in charge of the
craft, was unable to rise. After be
ing missing for 52 hours, the NC-S
entered the harbor of Ponta Delgada,
Azores, under her own power. She .•
was so badly battered by the sea she
encountered, however, that she was
