Commander      Richardson      Describes Fllflht—Tells of Losing Third Ma¬ chine Through Motor Trouble. Warmly Greeted in Halifax.
Hnltfnx, N. S.—Two grent AuierlcoE seaplnnes, originally tlcsifrnod to fl.\ across the Atlantic to take tlioir piace? BS aerial cruisers warring on German BUbniarincs, arrived hore at the ond ol the first stretch of a peaceful journej across the ocean to demonstrate theli value as pioneer aerial liners. A lliln! seaplane, the NC-4, wandered fro-,n it? course after falling behind becailife o' engine trouble.
The two fl.ving hoats arrived within
10 minutes  of  each   other,   the   N(;-.'i,
bearing Commander .Tohn  II.  Towers
leader    of    the    transocean    venture
k    alighting gently on  the water nt  thc
\  Eastern Passage at 7:55 p. m., Cana
0 dian time, or 6:55, New Tork time (originally bulletined as 5:55 p. m.) The NC-1, navigated and commanded by Lieut. Commander P. N. L. Bellin ger, followed the NU-3 on to the water 10 minutes later. Both planes seemed to be in flne shape.
The two seaplanes which did arrive made a speed of 70 miles an hour for the long trip of 540 nautical miles (equal to 621 land miles), made against winds which were unfavorable for part of the way and at no time blew directly behind the planea, so aa to add Its force te the speed made by tbe engines. Were It Mt for this fact tbe seaplanes probably wpnld hare ar¬ rived tn much better than the esti¬ mated time of, reufhly, eight and a half hours, instead ef eight hours and Bfty-flve minutes. Tbe cruising speed of the planea Is 63 knots, or 7S miles an hour.
The success of wireless telephony was platnly proven by the fact that at no time during the Journey were the l<rC-3 and NO-1 out of talking radius with land stations and with the three k   destroyers,  McDerihut,  Klmberly  and
1 Delphy, which were stationed ft 60 or ^<70  mile   Inter\-als   In   the   stretch   of
more than 200 miles of ocean between ¦ the tip of Cape Cod and Cttpe Sable, Nova Scotia.
The ease with which Commander Towers kept In communication with the land nnd with his superiors In Washington Is seen by the fact that even such comparatively unimportant messages as congratulations froip Act¬ ing Secretary of the Navy Franklin V. . Roosevelt, and relayed cable assur¬ ances from London that every facility Of the British admiralty would be of¬ fered to the Amorlcan airmen, reached him. His ability to get last minute weather reports, warnings of sudden •torms, etc., gives him a great advan¬ tage over his rivals. The NC-3 and NC-1 were In commimlcatlon with the cruiser Baltimore, acting as supply Ship here for the expedition, long be¬ fore the sharpest eye could see them. They first estalilished connections when 40 miles away.
The   performance   of   the   two   NC
t boats which reached here made a deep impression, for the hopes of the Brit¬ ish airmen are pinned to one engine machines of very light weight, while that of the Amerirans to the heavy, multi-englned seai)lnnes.

GOVERNSIENT ANXIOUS TO LEND A HAND.
RAYMOND  F. CRIST.
Uncle Sam Is anxious to lend a helping hand to the young men In his employ and give them a boost to'¬ ward better things in his service, and toward a higher place in civil life. With this end iJ^ view, the Navy Oepartment maintains schools In more_ than a dozen different trades which are open to men who enlist for the service om warships. The schools not only serve ^a's a medium for the sailor to advance himself in the Navy, but equip him to learn a good wage if the candidate wishes to re¬ turn to civil life.
The courses are offered ta those willing to learn the following trades, electrical, engineering, artificer, yeo¬ man, machinist, commissary, cop¬ persmith, musician, aeronautic, and seamati gunner. Hundreds of young men who enter the Navy take these courses and through the work done while they are under pay, gain ad¬ vancement in the service and provide tor the time they return to civil lite.
There are still further advanced courses in certain of these schools, [ in which the most competent gradu¬ ates of the trade courses are fitted to become shop foreman, or specialists in tho ignition problems and the like. It is safe to say that any yolng man trained in one of these trades and who has practiced it at an air station during his naval ser¬ vice, will always be in demand at good wages in the rapidly expanding aviation industry, at this time you will have a good chance to travel and to know the world you are living in- Send in your name and addreos and we wiil send you literature giv¬ ing all the facts or call at the Navy Recruiting Station, Post-offlce Build¬ ing, Bethlehem, Pa.

Paris.—The Council of Four, with Premier Orlundo of Italy present, be¬ gan to arrange the program for the presentation of peace terms to the Austrian, Hungarian, and Bulgarian delegates.
It appears that Instead of Germany being required to pay the entire in¬ demnity demanded by the allies a con¬ siderable sum will be demnnTTed of Austria, the estlmnte of this sum at present being 5.000,000,000 crowns (normally approximately $1,000,000,- 000).
This indemnity provision and the de¬ limitation of the frontiers of the new state will be the main features of the treaty now In the making. Provision is to be made for dividing Austria- Hungary's pre-war debt among the new states formed from territory for¬ merly  belonging  to  that  empire.
The frontier between German Aus¬ tria and Italy, and probably the Adrl- atl'' settlement, will also figure In the Ai'<)trlnn treaty.
The Germnn-Au.'itrinn peace delega¬ tion Includes Dr. Franz Klein, Profes¬ sor Helnrlch Lammasch, Professor von Laun, Under Secretary Flucke and Deputies Segllger and Rudolph Lodg- nian. Herr Flucke will represent tlie Tyrol and Deputy Lodgiuan the Ger¬ man Bohemians.
What the Austrian delegation will accomplish Is not clear here at pres¬ ent because of the economic chaoa In the former empire. The Austrlans, however, probably will sign nny pence offered, but ouly for the relatively smnll part of the former empire which they represent. One of the many questions to be adjusted Is that of the flnancinl responsibility of the new republic formed from the old empire for the debts of the wnr.
"The solution of the racial problem," Herr Lodgnmn said. "Is to give all the old provinces with contlicting na¬ tionalities new frontiers. Lnter they will be obliged to unite voluntarily be¬ cause their economic Interests will de¬ mnnd It."
The Communist government In Hun¬ gary Is declared to have declined to nccept the terms Inld down by Ku- mnnin for nn armistice, and has de¬ cided to continue flghting. The terma of the nuniiiniuns Included disarma¬ ment nnd surrender of war materials, and also the return of war prisoners without  reciprocity.
SHIP FOOD TO GERMANS.
Steamer Thala, Privately Chartered, Takes Cargo Sent by  Relatlvea.
New York.—The steamer Thala, flrat privately chnrtered shif/ to sail with supplies for Cermnny since the United Statea entered the war, will leave here nhout June R with a cargo of food¬ stuffs contributed hy Americans of Oerroaa birth for their needy relatlvea in Oeimany, It hns been announced here.
The War Trade Bonrd Issued a M^ cense for the Thala  shipment.
The Nazareth National Bank, Naz¬ areth, has (been authorized by the I'ederal Reserve Bank to upeu a Trust Department aud beginning o'a July 1> will be able to act as execu¬ tor, administrator, guardian of es¬ tates, trustee, assignee, receiver, commitlee of ostatea ui lunatics and j in every other capacity which trust companies cau act. This will prove a benelit lo the puljlic aa the day of the individual executor and adminis¬ trator is passing.
This is a very important expansion of the busiuess of this iarge and strong linancial institution, which is one ot the best knowu banks in Northampton County.
A part of the Federal R e- serve Act which has just been passed provides that Nationkl Banks exer¬ cising any or all of the powers such as executor, gua^rdian, administra¬ tor, assignee, etc., shall segregate all assets held in any fiduciary capacity from, the general assets ot the bank and shall keep a separate set of books showing In proper detail all transactions. Such books shall be open to inspection by the State au¬ thorities to the same extent as the books of corporations organized tm¬ der State law which exercise fiduci¬ ary power^. Funds held in trust by the bank awaiting Investment shall not be used by the bank in the con¬ duct of ita other businese unless it ahall flrst eet aside tn the truat de¬ partment United States bonds or other securities approved by the Federal Reserve Bo»Td.
It shall be unlawful for any na¬ tional banking association to lend any offlcer, director or employee *ny funds held in trust under the powers conferred by this section. Any offl¬ cer, director, or '^ployee making eiKh loaB, or to wham suoR lo.an is made,! may be fined not more tBan $5000, or imprisoned not more than flve years.
The past two yea'rs were perhaps the most eventful in the history of the world, making as it did, the closing of the world's greatest con- filct, involving on the part of the United States government an army of 5,000,000 men and the flotation of bond issues ataounting to over 20 billions of dollars. The Nazareth National Bank did its share in as¬ sisting the government in floating the various Liberty Loans, and the amount of bonds purchased, includ¬ ing treasury certificates, for its own account and for its depositors, am¬ ounted to $2,976,400.
Notwithstanding the large a'mount of money paid to the government for Liberty Bonds and treasury certifi¬ cates to help finance the war. Its assets increased steadily until they now stand at three millions of dol¬ lars.
The present offlcers are: Dr. Thoe, Cope, Chairman ot the Board; M. T. Swartz, President; John A. Miller, Vice-President; F. H. Schmidt, Cashier; Directors, George W. Laub, O. D. Schaeffer, G. A.

On last Thursday evening the citi¬ zens Olf Nazareth and the surround, ing country were given the oppor¬ tunity of hearing a concert given by the Naaateth Choral Society in the Milchsack Memorial Auditorium of the Nazareth Y. M. C. A., a concert, made up of home talent, such as the peopie of Naza'reth and vicinity have never heard.
The Choral Society was flrst or¬ ganized on May 25, 1903, after some time it became latent and it was again re-organized on Jan. 20, 1919, the following officers having been elected: president and treasurer, Robert F. Ziegler; vice-president, H. T. Vanatta; secretary. Miss Rae M. Walter; conductor, Ellis Schneebeli, and pianist. Charles Hess. Shortly after re-organizanlzing, the society met weekly and under the direction of Mr. Schneebeli rehearsed for this great event.

Prominent Nazareth Citizen Dies Suddenly.
Frank H. Estchman, a prominent citizen, of Nazareth, died suddenly ou Sunday morning, at 10 oclock, at his home on Noirth Main Street, He had been suffering from heart trou¬ ble. He withstood two strokes of paralysis  previous to  the  fatal one.
Washington. — Secretary Tumulty made public this cablegram from Pres¬ ident Wilson regarding the proposed pledge to France:
"Happily there is no mystery or privacy about what I have promised the government here.
"I have promised to propose to the senate a supplement In which we shall agree, subject to the approval of the council of the League of Nations, to come immediately to the assistance of Frauce in case of unprovoked at¬ tack by Germany, thus merely hasten¬ ing tho aclion to, which we sbould be bound by the covenant of the League of Nations."
T*e President thus makes It plain that action by the Unifed States unde: the pledge. If approved by the senate, will be subject to approval by the League of Nations. It also indicates that the pledge Is for the purpose ol enabling this country to act In case ol tn emergency.
There is a growing feeling here, however, that the pledge to France will be adfipted by the American sen¬ ate ns a su[>plement to the peace treaty. There is a feeling also that the League of Nations covenant will be adopted by the senate, and that the treat.v, the covenant, and the supple¬ mentary pledge will stand or fall to¬ gether.

praise for the way rendered their part ot the program. .Mendelssohn Bartholody's "Lauda Sion" and Gounod's "Gallia" render- t ed by the choral were two of the many features of the evening. j The oboe solo rendered by M. I Lachmuth, of Philadelphia, was j something which pleased everybody, 'this was because of the way in which Mr. Lachmutli played the in¬ strument and besides there were few people in the audience who ever had seen or heard an oboe ibetore and this was certainly a treat for them. Last but not least is the orchestra which pleased the audience so much. The orchestra was made up of .?2 pieces and rendered selections whicn the audieince appreciated very much, this could be heard by the loud and long applauses.

Camp Flre Girls.
Through the efforts of several la¬ dies of Nazareth, who are the moth¬ ers of girls, a' Caifip Flre has been organized in town, known as the Misanake Camp Plre. This Is an organization tor girla, and will sup¬ ply for them an avenue for proflt¬ able activity during spare moments, and in vacation time.
Camp Fire is an organized effort to flnd romaJice, beauty, and adven¬ ture in every day life. It seeks to make the homely task contribute to the Joy of Iving. It seeks to develop the hoime spirit, and make it domin¬ ate the life ot the entire communty.
In obeying the Law of Camp Fire a girl develops in her spiritual life as well as in her body and mind. When others see how the Camp Fire girls are giving community and per¬ sonal service, they realize that the Ideals of Camp Fire are beautiful because they are unselfish—babies have 'been cared tor, thousands of baby kits made, and manj^ other ser- irices of love have been given.
Perhaps it can all be summed up by saying that Camp Fire Girls is an organization made up of groups of girls, who want to ma'ke life Just as splendid as possible. They are seek¬ ing to develop the spirit of the home, so that it will influence the entire community. It Is an army of girls who do things

"Reports from all districts," Secre¬ tary Carter Glass said, "Indicate that in practically the entire cotmtry the quota was taken without material as¬ sistance from banks."
Lervls B. Franklin, director of the war loan organization, said:
"The war loan organization has Com¬ pleted Its task by bringing to a tri¬ umphant conclusion the Victory Lib¬ erty loan. This result could not have been accomplished had not the men and women of this great organization, who responded to the call of their country two years ago, been aetoated by the highest moUvea of patriotism and had they not devoted themselves to this work without thought of self. During this time they have raised ap¬ proximately $22,500,000,000 for the winning of the war.
"By bringing about the distributloil of this enormous volume of govern¬ ment securities to over twenty mlUton of our people, with the result that the major portion of the bonds and notes Issued win eventually be paid for out of the savings, the money bas been raised without strain upon onr bank¬ ing resources.
"With the greater part of our war expenses now provided for the country is in condition to resume Ita normal business activities."
