Washington.?The feat of the seaplane NC-4, which achieved the distinction for the United States navy of having blazed the way for transatlantic aerial navigation, when she flew from I'onta Dolgada to Lisbon, completing the last leg of the actual continent-to-continent flight, continued to be the chief topic in naval and official circles here. In addition to the honor which history will give to American naval fliers as the first to fly across the Atlantic, it was with pride that navy men pointed to the splendid performance of the machine, a purely "made in America" development Without a mishap of any kind .the NC-4 made the jump of approximately 900 land miles from Ponta Delgada to the landing in Portugal in nine hours and forty-three minutes, or at the rate of siighlly more than ninety land miles an hour. Official reports show the flight which started at 0.18 a. m. (Washington time) ended at 4.01 p. m. (Washington time.) Resumption of the flight with Plymouth, England, as the finish, which was expected Wednesday, if weather conditions permitted, and it way found the steady driving of yesterday had left the engines in good shape, was regarded as of only secondary importance when compared Ic the flight across the Atlantic, the real object of all the navy's efforts, I.ieut.

London.?The crew of the American seaplane NC-4 which made the first transatlantic aerial passage, landing at Lisbon last evening from j the Azores, has been decorated with i the Grand Cross of tho Order of the Tower and Sword, says a message to the wireless press from Lisbon. Tho decoration was presented by the Portuguese foreign minister. Tho Order of the Tower and Sword was founded in J808 in Brazil by the regent who afterward became King i.John VI of Portugal as a revival of the order of the sword founded by Alfonso VI in 18.")}). It was again remodeled in 1832. Tt is a general orIdor of military and civil merit and has five classes. The badge is a five pointed star in white on the center of which is imposed a sword surrounded by a laurel wreath and words signifying merit, valor and loyalty. A laurel wreath connects the ponits of the star, at the top is a tower in gold. The ribbon is blue. Further Plan Unknown. Washington.?No word had reached the navy department this morning as to whether the seaplane NC-4 had left Lisbon on the last log of the flight from Rockaway Beach, Long Island, to Plymouth, England. The 1 last message from Lisbon was received last night and it indicated that Lieut. Comdr. A. C. Read would start I it weather conditions wore favorable. Officers said communication with ( Lisbon was exceedingly slow as was evidenced by tho fact that the mesrnnortincr the arrival of the . ~ I CJ } , NC-4 at the capital of Portugal war delayed several hours.

It is "Lewisite," a product of an American scientist. It is what Germany escaped by signing the armistice before all the resources of the United States were ; turned upon her.

Three thousand tons of this most terrible instrument ever conceived for killing would have been J ready for business on the American front in France on March 1. "Lewisite" is another of the big secrets of the war just leaking out. It was developed in the bureau of mines by Prof. W. Lee Lewis of Northwestern University, Evanston, 111., who took a commission t%n a captain in the army. It was manufactured in a specially built plant *! near Cleveland, called the "house itrap," because every workman who ! entered the stockade went under an agreement not to leave the 11 aero space until the war was won. This was to protect the secret. Work on the plant was started IB days after the bureau of mines had completed its experiments. The other preparations to bring the gas into the war went forward with like speed but the armistice prevented the (Jcrmans from ever experiencing a full realization of what they had begun AY, 8. 0., JUNE 5, 1919 ^ COLL G, TEXTILES, AW SEPTEMBER 10, 1919 o?

WAR DEPARTMENT TO AID GAS VICTIMS Washington.?Senator Dial has obUrined from the War Department explicit information as to the relief available to men who suffered exposure to gas while in the army, and who, although apparently sound at the time of their discharge, develop symptoms of tuberculosis after their separation from the service. He took up the matter in the first instance on behalf of certain Thirtieth Division veterans. Arrangements have been made whereby such discharged soldiers, being entitled under the War Risk Act to treatment, may be admitted to army hospitals, their present condition being a reactivation or consequence of disability incurred in line of duty. Application may be made to 11. . ..a. i i ' .. e li uie iieuiest rupi e?enu:i.u vu ui uie United States Public Health Service, or, if there be no such official in the vicinity, application should be made by letter to the Chief Medical Adviser, War Risk Bureau, Washington, D. O., giving the name, rank, and organization of the former soldier and the character of his disability. Senator Dial is of the opinion that action would be expedited if such letter came from the man's home physician, in such case, the bureau would be glad of suggestions as to treatment needed. The bureau in emergency will arrange with local physicians or institutions to handle such cases temporarily. Col. Roger Brooke of the Surgeon General's office assures Senator Dial that the fact of such soldiers having been discharged "will in no way oper ate to interfere with their receiving adequate treatment." At present the army medical service is not prepared to state definitely the ultimate effects of gassing with regard to reactivation of tuberculosis lesions, but in Col. Brook's opinion, "it is quite likely that irritation incident to se -EGE ID MILITARY TRi % SUMMER SCHOOL j RcI 9\irscs for? jmon >i litural Teacher* ,ncstly (June 20th to July 26th) |k>tvc 1 ?

The messenger, General von Estorff, says the correspondent no hope that anything was likely to be given out for publication. It is virtually impossible to glean anything regarding the former emperor's life or plans as everybody in the castle is understrict orders to maintain silence. lApparently there is no excitement among the members of his suite over the peace terms, the only portion of which interests the imperial exile is the clause relating to himself. The former empress appears to be more affected than her husband and i is evidently under the impressioa that the powers will succeed in bringing him before a tribunal. jPERUNAl made me fr* v well i\ lilqaid or Tablet Form ENGLAND'S DEBT TqW J THE UNITED STATES London.?J.
