The patrol fleet, in wireless contact

keep the aviators posted on weather

"Give us no luck, good or bad, and
the trans -oceanic voyage should be
made without trouble, ' said Com
mander John H. Towers, chief of the
expedition, commenting before the
"hop off" on the completeness of the
-navy's preparations. "We are not
undertaking the impossible; we are
not banking on chance. We are hop
ing to demonstrate, without reckless
risk of life or valuable property, that
an air cruise to Europe is a practical
proposition."
One of Commander Towers brother
officers declared that a new branch
of the science of navigation was,
growing up around the NC planes,
thus making the flight an undertaking

OREGON WILL
BECOME ONLY
PROUD MEMORY
San Francisco May 16. "Good-bye
dear old Oregon," was the sentiment
voiced by hundreds of men, women
and children during the last week of
the Victory Liberty ,r Loan campaign
when they visited the famous old bat
tleship 'for the last time; as she lay
at anchor in San Francisco bay. Wlth
ing a few weeks the grim fighter of
nearly a quarter of a century ago
will take her place with the "Consti
tution'' in the hearts of the American
people; the Oregon will go out of com
mission and become a memory.
A few weeks after the sinking of the
battleship Maine at Havana the Ore
gon was in San Francisco harbor when
there flashed across the continent on
March 12, 1898, from : the Navy de
partment to the Oregon's commander
an order to proceed to Callao (Peru)
as soon as practicable. On March 17,
Captain Charles E. Clark assumed com
mand, and two daya later began the
celebrated trip around the "Horn."
Captain Clark was not advised that
war had been declared against Spain
until his arrival at Rio Janeiro, April
30. Great concern was felt in the Unit
ed States for the lonely Oregon as the
whereabouts of the Spanish fleet under
Admiral Cervera, which had just left
the Cape-Verde islands., was unknown.
. The nation breathed a sigh of relief
when word was received that the "Ore
gon had arrived safely at Jupiter Inlet,
Fla. May 24. after a trip of 14,000 miles
made in 68 days. - A few days later she
joined Admiral Sampson's fleet off San
tiago, Cuba and she participated in th-2
great battle of Sunday. July 3, 1889,
when Ceryera's. fleet ' was annihilated.
The Oregon forced the Colon, the last
of the Spanish ships, ashore to her
destruction. -
. Subsequently the,, .Oregon, steamed,
from New- York to Manilalf'where she
ascend from a "take off in the water
and "land' also on the surface of the
sea, are driven by Liberty motors, four
to a plane, and aggregating 1,000 horse
power. They are of the biplane- type,
with a wing span of 126 feet, length
over all 69 feet and length of hull, 44,
feet. "The craft weigh 15,100 pounds;
with navigating and wireless equip
ment aboard, but without crew and
fuel. The total flying weight is 28,500
younds.
The planes have a dual control sys
tem; with seats side by side and for
ward of the gasoline tank, for th
pilots, each of whom has a' complete
set , of instruments. Including cOm-:
passes. The navigation, station, out ,
fitted .with the regulartion mar in 3 in
struments, is in the bow, while the en
gineer and radio operator occupy the
main compartment at the tanks. The
planes are expected to cruise, without
winds, 75 (land) miles an hour and
the gasoline capacity of 11.400 pounds,
will carry them upwards of 1.500 miles
considerably in excels of the longest
lap of the ocean flight from Tre
passey to the Azores without re
fueling. ;
With Commander Towers in charge
of the expedition, the three planes
set '."out in command of. Mr. Towers,,
Lt. Commander A. C. Read and Lt. j
Commander P. N. L. Bellinger. j
Commander Towers, who is 34 years 1
of age, was born in Georgia, and ''en
tered the Naval Academy In 1902.
After service on various warships he
was assigned to the aviation section
for. instruction three years before the
outbreak of the European war. Mid
winter, of 1912 found him In charge
of the aviation camp at the Guantan
amo maneuver grounds of the -Atlantic
fleet, and in September, 1914, as a
lieutenant, he went to London as as
sistant to the American naval attache.
After a tour of duty on the staff of
the chief of operations at Washing
ton, during which he participated in
the selection -of aviation statons and
won hs commission as commander.
Mr. Towers was designated early this
year to develop the plans for the
trans-Atlantic flight.
Lieutenant Commander Read. 32
years of age, was born in New Hamp
shire. After leaving. Annapolis he fill
ed varied assignments until 1915, when
he reported at the naval air station
at Pensacdla, Fla for instruction. Two
years later he took command of the
aviation station at Bay Shore,' on Long'
Island, later assuming a similar post
at Miami, Fla. While on the staff of.
the chief of naval operations at Wash
ington the following year he. was de
tached for temporary dutjf In connec
tion with the camouflaging of sea
planes at Hampton Roads, Va., later
holding changing assignments until he
was named for participation in the
trans -Atlantic flight.
Lieutenant ' Commander Bellinger,
born in South Carolina 33 years ago,
went from the Naval Academy to sea
duty, which included command of a.
submarine. He returned to the acad
emy for "aviation instruction in 1912,

BUILDERS FID
OUTLOOK IS
ENCOURAGING
. Increased evidence that architects -!
and builders are preparing for the big
construction boom which is expected
by the first of June is to be found in
the building situation this week, says
the American Architect. Co-operation
from large loaning interests, so vitally
necessary if there is to be a big spurt
in the face of material and labor costs,
is now assured if predictions of leading
mortgage loan and banking interests
to the effect that building money will
be much freer after May 31, material
ize. A thorough study of the situation re
veals the fact that there is : just one
right way to . meet this phase of the
problem which has caused the retard
ing of construction of a large scale so
far this spring, and that is federal co
operation in the extension of credit
to builders so that they may go ahead
more rapidly and f meet - the pressing
demand for dwellings. This same view
waa put before the New York state
commission a short time ago, and fol
lows the attitude of most foreign gov
ernments which are devoting funds and
effort to improve after-war housing
conditions. If federal asistance could
be secured the last hinderance to the
free resumption of building would be
removed.
In the minds of may who are stu
dents of economic conditions there is
a feeling that present price levels .will
be maintained to a great degree, or
that there will be no sensational decline
under - present high production costs.
In the material markets the American
Architest's correspondents report show
the price tendency to be downward on
neat cement, lime and hollow, tile. All
common brick remains firm. Lum
ber, is firming up considerably in price.
Oak, in particular, is scarce in the
hands of the manufacturers, and there
have been advances of from ii to $5
per thousand feet in the upper grades
in the last ten days. Maple and birch
alone are firm in price with slight ad
yajice.sinthe,wholjsa.le prices of the
former- - Mahogany, however, has de
clined in price since the signing of the
armistice. This is due to the fact that
boats are now bringing logs from the
Liverpool markets; Mahogany is' now
selling at 26 cents per foot. It was as
high as 35 cents during the war. -'
Labor conditions are fairly satisfac
tory, with few employers showing any
inclination to bring" about a readjust
ment in this present period of high liv
ing costs. j
Appleton P. Clark, Jr., representing
the. Washington chapter, American In
stitute of Architects, on the ' central
stabilization committe of the istrict, of
Columbia, takes an encouraging view
of the building situation. The rapidi
ty with which the stabilization plans
have . been perfected, Mr. Clark be
lieves, shows " the willingness of th
building industry to co-operate in the
stimulation of construction.
Mr. Clark attended the meeting of
the committe last week, when reports
received from labor representatives in
dicated that the majority of building
trades unions would agree to work at
the wage scale which became effective
November, 1918. The carpenters, who
are not affiliated with the Building
Trades' Union, are demanding an in
crease of from 75 cents to 78 1-2 cents
per hour. Elevator constructors were
also reported to be asking an increase,
thousrh it Is expected that the wage
question can soon be adjusted In their
case. . - ' - -
The master builders have reached
an agreement whereby they will fig

MISSIONARIES FROM
FOREIGN LANDS
TELL EXPERIENCES
St. Louis, May 16. Instances . in
which Presbyterian missionaries in
foreign lands sometimes sacrificed
their lives or suffered the loss of their
liberty while engaged in their work
in behalf of . the oppressed nationali
ties during the war, are related in
the annual report of the board of
foreign missions to the Presbyterian
church, presented to day to the Pres
byterian general assembly.
"Many missionaries died as a result
of the diseases contracted in the fam
ine work In Persia," says the report.
The mission work saved many other
thousands. In Northwestern Persia
the Kurds and the Turks drove 80,000
people In panic fright. Dr. W. A.
Shedd, a Presbyterian missionary, who
accompanied the refugees, died on the
journey a victim to cholera, as he waa
seeking to protect the fleeing people
from their enemies in the rear. Dr.
W. S. Vanneman and Dr. F. N. Jessup,
Presbyterian missionaries in Tabriz,
were Imprisoned by the Turks, and
their buildings looted.
''Death in all forms is reported by
the board as reaping a terrible har
vest in Syria and Palestine. Dr. Wil
liam S. Nelson and Charles Dana were
jailed without food or water for. days
for their . relief work which offended
the Turks. . The Syrian relief work re
vealed indescribable misery. A father

pathy with' the Koreans they incur
the wrath of Japan and the danger
of expulsion from the country.. If on
the other hand, they avow sympathy
with the Japanese, they destroy their
influence with the Koreans." The
board tells also of complications caused
by the Japanese .demanding the sepa

schools, a problem which is , not yet
adjusted. -
