Unfortunately, he continued, it was believed a heavy sea was running, and if the hydro aeroplane fell rather than alighted gently it probably sank immediately, Four destroyers left Ferrol in the direction of the Azores intending to retrace the route of Major Franceo, and the British Government was asked the loan of-an aeroplane car- rier at Gibraltar to serve as a sea base for reconnoitering flights. A despatch from Lisbon said an Italian Army aviator, Commander Longo, would fly there today; immediately proceeding to the Azores in search of the Spanish aviators, Commander Longo, would fly there today; imme- diately proceeding to the Azores in search of the Spanish aviators, With Major Franco were Major Edouardo Gallarza, Captain Ruiz De Alda, and a mechanic, Pedro De Madariaga. If Major Ramon Franco and his three companions are lost they bring to 25 the number of lives sacrificed in attempted Transatlantic flights during the past three years, Theirs would be the eighth plane to start out across the Atlantic never to be seen again. In other Trans- atlantic flights which failed there were rescues at sea or the airmen turned back in time, File Wage Claims Against C. C. Pyle Los Angeles, June 25.~Five em- ployes of .C C.

German Cruiser Emden Visits New Lealand German Commander Ex. presses Hope For Friend. ly Relations (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Auckland, New Zealand, June 25.~The German cruiser Emden, namesake of the cruiser thaf roam- ed the East Indies in 1914 and de- stroyed 15 vessels, arrived here to- day flying the British and German flags. - Salutes and courtesies were exchanged. In the course of an interview the Emden's commander said 'we are helping to cement good feeling pu- tween your mation and my coun- try. In the war we had to do our duty, just as the British officers did. After the conflict, surely we can be friends as before." The German commander also expressed the hope that trae relations might be reestablished. The visit of the namesake of the famous German raider was partic- ularly interesting to the Antipodes for it was the Australian light cruiser Sydney that put an end to ther estructive career of the form- er Emden in a hot engagement at Cocos Island, Novemberf 9, 1914, driving the Emden (Capt. Von Muller) achore in flames. The re- moval of the menace was one of the the culminating events that swept the German raiders off tne high seas in the early part of the war, Killed By Train Bathurst, N.B.--D. Hickey, aged 70, was killed vesterday when struck by a Canadian National Railways freight train at Nash Creek railway crossing about 30 miles west of Bathurst, Bishop's Threat Ot Prosecution Action Against 137 Clergy Who Practice Reserva. tion of Sacrament (By Theos. T. Champion, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) London, June 25--~The church association, oldest and most aggres- sive of protestant organizations in the Church of England, has written to Rt. Rev, Arthur Winnington In- gram, Bishop of London, offering to prosecute any of the 137 clergy who practice reservation of the sacrament in his diocese and thus test the legality of this, providing the bishop will promise not to exercise hi. pre- rogative of vetoing such prosecution. Beyond acknowledging the letter, however, his lordship offers no com- ment, A bishop has power to veto the prosecution of any clergyman ac- cused of illegalities in CONiEction with the performance of his minis- terial office. While the suggestion was made in parliament last year that a sort bill should be introduced removing this power of veto, such a bill, even if it passed the commons, would certainly be rejected by the House of Lords For years the bishops have con- sistent tly exercised their right of veto on the ground that prosecutions in a sccular court for alleged offen- ces against church law lead to unsat- isfactory results, In this view: they are supported by many churchmen who are by no means inclined to the so called Angle Catholic school in the Church of England, . The power to prosecute, if exercised freely, would also. cut both ways and if an Anglo Catholic priest in London were prosecuted for practising reservation under conditions which, it must be noted, have received the approval of the present bishop, then it would conceivably follow that from other quarters would come prosecutions against "modernist" or evangelical clerics who ignore such requirements of the old prayerbook as, for in- stance, the recital of the atahasian creed on certain days.

(By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, June 25.--A two col- umn obituary of Rt, Hon, W, 8. Fielding, Canadian statesman who died late on Sunday, is published by the Times today, in which the tariff, efficiency, intregity and administrative abilities of the man who was Canada's minister of fin- ance for 15 years are stressed. The fiscal policy agreed upon at the National Liberal convention at Ottawa in 1893 was largely the result of Hon. Mr, Fielding's con- ciliatory temper and deff diplom- acy, the Times says: "Mr. Fielding impressed himself on the conven- tion more than any other man ex- cept Sir Wilfrid Laurier himself, and that without effort or par- ade," says the Times, Referring fo the election of Mr. Fielding in 1917 as Conservative member for Shelburne and Queens, N.S., and his subsequent change to the Liberal opposition, the Times expresses the opinion that it is a tribute to Mr, Fielding's character that he never was charged with any breach of faith or viola- tion of the condition under which he was then elected. "In financial as in tariff legis- lation, although not an avowed protectionist, Mr, Fielding was sin- gularly cautious and moderate, and always commanded the confid- ence of the business interest of the country," the Times continues. "He was equally averse to rash consitutional changes and saw no necessity for any revision of the constitutional relations between Canada and the Mother Country. He never became convinced it was desirable to appoint a Canadian ambassador to Washington and again and again he warned the extreme automonists they were moving towards separation, "He believed foreign policy was best controlled by the Imperial Government. Favorable as he was to all wise measures of co-opera- tion between the Dominions and the United Kingdom, he saw no danger of centralization in London and was content with existing rela- tions as they had developed through the years. "He was not an Imperialist as the term is often understood, but among the public men of Canada there was no more unswerving ad- vocate of the link between the Dominion and the Mother Country. FEELING POSITION SAYS HON. ROBB Speaks With British Paper Over Trans-Atlantic Telephone London, June 25.~The Daily Ex- press, controlled by William Max- well Aitken, son of Lord Beaverbrook, and a strongly imperialtistic news- paper, talked with Hon, W. D. Robb, Canadian Minister of Finance, over the Trans-Atlantic telephone last night regarding the reported proposal of a new Empire trade agreement emanating from Canada, published in London newspapers without official confirmation, : "We have asked our agents to feel out the position, thatSs all," Mr, Robb is quoted as saying. The Sxpress quoted a newspaper clipping on the subject. "It's no use your reading stuff that gets in the mornng papers in this hot weather," the Canadian minister replied, ac- cording to the story published in the Express today. "It would be better if your newspapers did not say too much about it.". i ' IREPORT ON POST MORTEM REVEALS NO SIGN THAT SHE WAS VICTIM OF FOUL PLAY Dr. W. A.
