Washington May 12. Official an
nouncement was made by the Navy
deoartment today that upon the out
come of the proposed test flight of
me new navy mrgiDic irora mc
naval air station, Montauk, N, Y.,
to St. Johns, N. F. would "depend
the future plans in regard to the
possibility' of attempting ' later a
transatlanticflight by a dirigible."
The flight to Newfoundland, a dis
tance of approximately 1,000 miles,
it was said, would be made "when
ever weather conditions are favor
able." 1
In making this announcement the
Navy department disclosed much
data regarding the C-S not hereto
fore published. The new dir'gible,
which was commissioned only a
week ago, is commanded by Com
mander E. W. Col), and the mem
bers of the crew are Lieuts. J. V.
Lawrence and M. H. Easterly, En
sign D..P. Campbell and Chief Ma
chinists' Mates T. L. Moormsn and.
S. H. Blackburn.
The C-5 is a twin engine non-rigid
airship, with two 125-horsc power
engines. The dirigible has Van en
velope displacement of approximate
ly 178,000 feet, an envelope length
of 192 feet and envelope diameter of
nearly 42 feet, making her the larg
est of the navy's airships. ; 1
. Large Carrying Capacity. -
The normal speed of ie C-S is
placed, in the Navy department's an
nouncement at SO miles an hour with
an enduranee at normal speed of 10
hours. Ho.wever, in addition to the
useful load of 4,000. pounds and to
the crew of six, it was leafhed that
provision can be made for a greater
gasoline-carrying capacity, thus in
creasing her cruising ability greatly
beyond the estimated 500 miles. At
a speed of 42 knots the airship ha? a
fuel consumption of 10 gallons.
Officials at the Navy department
appear- to be entirely Confident that
the C-5V has ample endurance to
cross to Jiurope witnout a stop.
There is a general belief at the Navy
department htat Hm transatlantic
attempt will be ordered immediately
after arrival of the C-S at St. Johns
and before the naval craft patrolling
the Atlantic for the flight of the
heavier-than-air machines, the NC-1
and NC-3, h4ve dispersed.

Washington, May 12. The transatlantic flight of the
naval seaplanes is to be guided by newlyjnvented instruments
which will enable the pilots to navigate the machines regard
less of conditions considered necessary for Jhe, sailing of
ships of the sea. This information was made public by the
Navy department tonight.
, l he specia inventions are an
aerial sextant developed by Com
mander R. E. Byrd, a drift and spceJd
indicator, and a course and distance
indicator. xr .
A "bubble" in 1k tube of' the
aerial sextant serves, the same pur
pose as the horizon in the device
used br ship navigators. The yalue
of this invention is seen in thtffact
that frequently the horizon is not
visible from airplanes. 1 ,'
By basing observations"on the ar
tificial horizon, the pilot using the
new sextant brings that and the sun
into contact much in the same man
ner as the horizon and the altitude
of the sun is observed with' the old
sextant. The altitude of the sun
being calculated, astronomical tables
give the position. ' ,

The Austrian delegates are well
on, their way to St. Germain-En-Laye,
jhere to be informed of
the conditions for peace which are
6 be imposed upon their country by
the allied and associated powers. ,
The Austrian authorities have de

ing the negotiations just as it is
now available to the Germans.' The
German peace delegates are using
the only wires available, and it is not
considered probable that they t will

the visitors.
Two groups of nearby villas have
been requisitioned for the Austrian
and the Hungarian delegates. They
are quite distinct) so that no com

two delegations of the- former dual
