Only 400, 000 Yanks Left in Europe On July 1 Says Secretary Daniels
Washington. May I 7.—By July I only 400.000 American troops will be left in Europe. Secretary of the Navy Daniels stated tonight on hia return Irom abroad,
Danirls slated that a new naval policy would be worked out on thr hasis of information obtained fronn British, Fr«ich and Italian naval experts. After a consultation with navy men here, recommendations aa to the types of ship for the backbone of thr navj' in the future wil! be laid before Congress.
"As a result of conferences with naved statesmen and na¬ val experts in England, France and Italy, the party returns with much first-hand information of the best foreign opinion as to technical naval policies on the sea and under the sea," aaid Daniels. "Our information will be discussed with the navy of¬ ficers before any recommendations are made to Congress."
Daiiiels referred to his trip airiong the American soldiers abroad.
"TTie uppermost thought in the minds and hearts of all our soldiers across is a burning desire to come home," he said. "We arc bringing them back rapidly, 289,000 being returned in April. More than that number will be transported to the United St.ites in May and June. This will leave about 400,000 American troops in Europe July 1, cmd there will be facilities to return all our soldiers eis soon as the needs of the country will release men from whatever army of occupation may be re¬ quired."

With the NC-4 safely landed at Horta and the NC-1 lo¬ cated and her commander and crew rescued by the steamship lona, only the NC-3 was unaccounted for in midnight reports to the Na'vy Department. She has not been heard from since early morn, when she was reported flying at hurricane speed eastward toward the Azores. Destroyers are combing the waters about the islands in the belief that the NC-3 may have been foced do'wn by the fog and rain.
Possibility that she may have become lost and continued her flight east also was discussed by naval officials here.
Towers' craft carried veist fuel supplies and there was ample food supplies aboard. No worry is felt, as reports indi¬ cate the sea is calm, fog lifting and general conditions im¬ proving.
The rescue of the NC-1 was immediately flashed to the wife of Commander Be'.linger. "Oh!" she cried over the phone. "I am so relieved and so happy. 1 have worried be¬ cause fogs are so frightening on the ocean, but all the time I felt that everything would come out all right. But 1 am sorry Commander Bellinger was forced down. He was so confi¬ dent of a successful flight."
