GERMAN REPLY
GERMAN REPLY To Be Handed Over To-morrow. SIGNATURE IN JUNE. I COPENHAGEN, Tuesday. I A Berlin telegram says that the German reply to the Peace terms will be handed over to-morroiv. Exchange. I THE TIME LIMIT. I PARIS, Tuesday. The period granted to the German I delegation for the making of observa- tions on the peaoe terms expires on- i Wednesday. It is, however, possible, that they will ask for an extension of this period in order to present a com- plete counter-proposal, and it is probable that this extension will be granted if it is not of long duration. 'I The Allies will spend a week in study- ing the German counter-proposals, and a few more days' reflection will be aecorde-a I to Count Brockdorff-Rantzau for the examination of the draft of the Treaty. The signing of the Treaty, it is believed I in French diplomatic circles, will take place during the soo ond week in June. As a first consequence of the signing of the Peace Treaty, the members of the German delegation will be allowed to circulate freely, for they can no longer be legally regarded as enemies. Access to France, however, "will be forbidden to German subjects desirous of crossing the frontier until the formal mtification of the Peace Treaty. I SIGNING THE TERMS. PARIS, Tuesday. The Echo de Paris reports that the Entente Peace Terms will probably be presented to the Austrian plenipoten- tiaries next Monday. The same journa; announces that the Peace Treaty with Germany will have to be signed between June 5th and June 8th. Marshal Fcch," the paper cays, hae rendered an account to M.

WHERE IS HAWKER ?
WHERE IS HAWKER ? Mystery of Atlantic Flight. Report of Fall "Unreliable." Conflicting reports reached the. U Cam bra Daily Leader" this morning as to the whereabouts of Harry Hawker and Commander Grieve, who, on Sunday, set out on their flight from St. John's New foundland, to Ireland. It was announced by the Admiralty overnight that Hawker's machine had fallen into the sea within 40 miles of the mouth of the Shannon. This morning, however, the Admiralty and Air Ministry intimated that this re- port was considered unreliable. In the early hourø of to-day both the Admiralty and the Air Ministry iasrned announcements indicating that the pre- vious wireless report to the effect that the Sopwith machine was down at a point 40 miles from the mouth of the Shannon was oonsidsred unreliable. The Admiralty announcement ran:- The following message hae been received from the Admiral at Queenstown: "My previous report considered unreliable." That from the Air Ministry said: The following message to the Admiralty from the Admiral at QueenstownMy 21.14 (9.45 p.m.) from Castleton Wireless Station-Report considered unreliable. All ships informed to that effect." "WIN OR PERISH." U.S. Tributes to Daring Airman. A IJeuter's New York telegram on Tuesday says: AU papers in their leading articles, which assume that Hawker had been lost, express the highest praise for the intrepidity of the Australian who, when he started on the Atlantic voyage, had to win the race or perish in the attempt. —Press Association. AWAITING NEWS. LONDON, Tuesday. The Press Association says the Air Ministry and the Admiralty at 11.45 this morning were unable to throw any light on the mystery of Mr. Hawker's where- abouts. MRS. HAWKER'S ANXIETY. Mre. Hawker, the Atlantic flier's wife, spent most of Monday at Brooklands in the hope of her ILuGband'a arrival there. I MAN AND HIS RECORD, Mr. Harry George Hawker is a native (t South Australia, is S8 years of age, and life-long teetotaler and noa-amoker. He was first known as a isuccessful driver in motor races. Coming to England he wae engaged by Mr. T. M. Sopwith, and took his pilot's certificate at Brooklands. Hawker at once distinguished himself as a daring and at the same time a level- headed pilot. He won the Michelin Prize in 1912, and in 1913 took part in the Daily Ifiail" U Round Britain" com- petition. He covered 1,040 miles out of the total of 1,640. Some of his most remark- able performances about this time were his height and distance reoords, and he has attained an altitude of 25,000ft. with- out the use of oxygen. Just before the. war he paid a visit to his native country, visited the chief Australian cities, and made flights in an aeroplane of his own construction. During the war Mr. Hawker was en- gaged in testing machines for the Sopwith Company, made a British height "reoord" at Hendon in 1815, and beat it himself in a Sopwith fighting plane at Brooklands in April, 1916, when he attained 24,408ft. RAYNHAM TO TRY AGAIN. ST. JOHNIS, Monday (rec. Tuesday). The non-reoeipt of any reliable news of Hawker is regarded as serious. Mr. Raynham has ordered another engine for the Raymore machine, which is now being dismembered and will be rebuilt here. It is expected that the machine will be ready for flight within four weeks. Preparations for other flights are pro- ceeding a/paoe, and Admiral Kerr, of the Handley-Page machine, says his workmen are two days ahead of the schedule time. Capt. Alcock's Vickers* machine is ex- i pected this week. HAWKER'S MACHINE. Capable of Flying tor 30 Hours. Mr. Hawker left St. John's at 6.48 p.m. (British eummer time) on Sunday, and flew away into the haze of the North Atlantic- Flying at 100 to 110 miles an hour, the oruising speed of the aeroplaftf, should have reached the west coast of Ireland at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Tie longest time he could have stayed in the air by throttling the engine down is about 30 hours, but experts say that. taking into consideration wind and weather ocmditions, it is probable that by six o'clock last night his petrol supply was exhausted. The consumption of the engine at fnll power was 15 gallons per hour, and he carried 350 ga llons. Mr. Hawker could be forced to deaiend into the sea by the failure of his engine or of his petrol supply, or by losing direc- tion in fog. The Rolls-Royce Eagle Mark VIII. en- gine fitted to Mr. Hawker's machine has withstood tests far in excess of the num- ber of hours and 6trotn he was likely to require of it. Petrol supply is a matter of calculation, and this shows he had o m *>1P WHAT FALL WOULD MEAN. I To crash in the sea from a height of even 50 to 100 feet is almost as bad as a direct fall on an aerodrome. The ma- chine would be wrecked. With an engine failure or shortage of petrol the airmen could make a steady descent into the sea. They were both provided with a type of life-saving jacket which would keep them afloat for many hours. There was also ,built into the fairing" of the body of the machine a light boat, which could be quickly released This was no lifeboat in the fnll sense ef the word, but by actual test it proved ■efficient to support both men in a calm øoa. They were well provided with pro- visions, and if they made a safe landing on the water and cleared their boat they iad a reasonable chance, in calm weather, of keeping themselves afloat for two or days, hoping for the coming of a skip. } THE N.C.4 I I To Continue Her Trip to Europe. NEW YORK. Monday (received Tuesday). The N.C.4 will continue her trip to Europe, according to naval advices. Admiral Jackson has cabled that it is impracticable to employ N.C.4 in the search for the shell of the missing sea- plane, and she will proceed to Ponta Del- gada as soon as the weather permits, pre- paratory to her flight to Lisbon. I THE N.C.3. I \TXMTT 17,11?l- 4'j .£J n IULViv, Auesaay. A later message from Ponta Deigada states that N.C.3 arrived here in its own power, a crew o? six, and were given quite an ovation by the people. The wings of the machine were damaged, but this can be repaired. The machine was forced to land 73 miles we,-t of Piro Island. Heavy seas made it im- possible for the machine to rise. The first aseistance was from a destroyer five miles from Ponta Delgada.. ATLANTIC WEATHER REPORT 1 The Air Ministry's report of the weather conditions along the Atlantic course, states:—A deep depression still occupies the Eastern Atlantic. West of Ireland the wind is southerly, reaching 35 miles per hour. The sea is rough to high. There is no change in the condi- tions af Newfoundland. I FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA. I MELBOURNE, Monday (received Tuesday). 7%,& conditions of the competition for the flight from Great Britain to Au&- tralia are officially announced. A purse of JB10,000 is to be awarded by the Federal Government to the first pilot of Austral- ian nationality arriving from Great Britain before midnight on Deoember 31st, 1920, within 120 consecutive hours from the time of starting, on. an all-British aeroplane or seaplane.

DIED IN THE WORKS. I I Pantyffymn Man's Sudden 1 Seizure. The death occurred under unusual circumstances on Monday night of David Harries, bachelor, 50 years of age, who lived alone at Llwyn-du Cottage, Panty- ffynon. He had been in ill-health for some time, and about 7.30 last night he went to the Dynevor Tinplate Works, Panty- ffynon, and sat on a box in front of one of the furnaces in the annealers' house. About five minutes afterwards he was seen lying on the floor. William Wal- ters went to him and found that he was dead. » P.C.'s Edwards and Griffiths assisted to take the body home. Dr. D. R. Price certified death to bel from natural causes, and consequently thero will be no inquest.
l" AN _ARGYLE SERMON."I
l AN ARGYLE SERMON." I I To the Kditor, I Sii-Y,(kur quotation in Monday night's: paper from the Rev. Wynne ThomasE: sermon at Argyle on Sunday morning makes one indignant, and I cannot help but write you on the subject. Mr. Thomas states that the peace terms presented give Germany the oatide for a righteous war. Let me assure him that no terms can be too stringent or harsh for a nation that has violated all laws of humanity, officially ravished and shot helpless women and children, and kept the inhabitants of the conquered terri- tories of France and Belgium in a state of hopeless terror and subjection for over four years. Has Mr. Thomas seen the violated districts of France and Belgium, or had first-hand information of the terrible sufferings of the people there? If not, he is speaking quite in ignorance of the German who rules by force and only understands force. I am not writing without authority, for I have lived on the lately occupied territories of France and Belgium since the Armistice, and know what the people have suffered from their cruel oppressors. Let me advise Mr. Thomas before he commits himself to any more statements of the same nature to go out into the villages and small towns of France and Belgium, and find for himself how the Germans treated the helpless population, and I think his sympathies will be then turned into the proper channels. What does Mr. Thomas think the German terms would have been if they had won? I have no desire to be drawn into any newspaper controversy, and indeed am on the point of leaving for Belgium, and so sign a nom-de-plume, but I hand you, sir, my card and address, and if Mr. Thomas cares he can have it, and I shall be happy to supply him with first-hand proof of German kultur in Bpleium.—YonrR etc..
