The patrol fleet, in wireless contact throughout its length and in touch with the United States weather bureau as well as ships of various nationali ties cruising the Middle Atlantic, will keep the aviators posted on weather conditions In the areas they are ap proaching, also cooperating with the navigators aboard the planes in di recting the flight. "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 expected to contribute materially to the advancement of the profession of the sea. Giant strides have been made in development of . the steering and wea-ther -charts to be used on the flight and, the crews expect to accomplish worth while results in the experiments above blue water.

"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.

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 ure the same percentage of prof I, on work as nrevailed before the war, ais- rpirardinsr Increased overhead expenses after Mav 1.

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.
