"BLIP" FALLS INTO TIE SEA

U. S. Dirigible Is Probably Out of Commission for Trans-Atlantic Trip. fSPECIL TO THE TIMES 1 PT. JOHNS. X. . May 16.-.Thft rrosp'ct that the Voltrd States dirigible '-" would be thn first 1'alloon ami pess:My th first airship to itfs th At-U:-.u-, hn received a .ecrp blow and American naial aeronauts were plunged ln'e k I no in today. The. American rie.!ro rr TTJwards. n ' U i t; r .11 o-l the- "Blimp" nf'er she ri'k from her moorings and drifted o:i'o-, fr the ocean lat jiipht. reached : he i:i isitl's ide early today and is tow mjt her back to this port, according to reports rcachins here. Hut the aero-r.a-iilcal expcrt.s feel certain that the baloon sustained considerable1 ilTmage w hen she fell into the sea and that it may be some time before she can be made ready to btart the trans-Atlantic flight. A British steamer is reported to have f'rst sighted the 'Blimp' in the darkness last night. Sj miles off shore, l.ieut. Uttie, who was aboard the balloon when a strong wind tore her from her moorings, had partly ripped open th safety alve, permitting the gas to es'-ape. when the "Blimp" started off id he jumped to safety. Apparently

the dirigible was gradually deflated as she swept eastward in the wind and fettled upon thevater before darkness. Ths steamer came upon the drifting gasbag quite unexpectedly, it was reported, and narrowly escaped piercing the bag with her prow. The vessels officers Knew nothing of the dirigible's presence in the vicinity and were astonished when the big gray mass suddenly loomed up before them. They turned searchlights upon her and upon discovering her identity sent wlrHcsa messages broadcast, reporting the find. The United States cruiser C'hicuro. in St. Johns harbor, asked the steamer t stand by until the destroyer Kdwards could reach the spot.

TAFT PREDICTS G. 0. P. VICTORY

MEETING WAS FINE AFFAIR The meeting of the Methodist men, held at the M. E. church, corner of Chicago and Baring ae., last nisht was one of the most interesting of the war reminiscence meetings that hae been held in this locality. The talk given by Captain Karl Douglas, who saw two oars of actiity "over there" and who took part in some of the most seerc battles of the war. li!;e Clint can Thierry, Argonne Korerst. St. Mihiel. etc.. was, very illuminating in regard to the attitude of the men when entering upon their first engagements. It was !i!l"d with stories, not only true to life, but humorous, touching upon thrf hgjit side of camp lif" rather lh;in upon the horrors of gun fire. Captain O. J. Coe told some very amusing stories about the tatk and conduct of the negro soldiers in battle. There were six hundred of these soldiers on the same ship with Captain Coe and ho became well acquainted with their characteristics and much interested in their careers, following his anecdotes, he said that in every case the negro soldier eventually measured up to the standard of true, loyal Americans. IVrcy Wiener with an eight-piece orchestra furnished excellent music and at the close refreshments were served. It was an evening that will be long remembered by the group of men in attendance.

SPECIAL TO THE TIMES! j INDIANAKtU-i, Ind.. May lti. YV. It., Taft. former president, told a crowd of Republicans, at a luncht-on nt the Coluni-'. bia Club here that indications point to a Republican victory at the election in 02ft, but that they should not be too j

sure of it. lie warned them against oxer-confidence, because, ho said, tho Republicans have shouldered a heavy responsibility In taking control of the Senate and the House of .Representatives t A asliington when the President is u Democrat . Mr. Taft said that while the Republicans hrul a. good chance to win. th-y could very easily spoil it all by unwise action. Among other things, he pointed out that it would be a serious mistake for Republican.-! to fight against tho adoption of the league of nations in

connection with the peace treaty merely;

from a political standpoint. He urg-d that the league of nations be kept out of party politics, and that H should be adopted with the fface treaty, just as it It presented by President ilson. If there i delay in bringing about definite peace because or the opposition of political interests the league of nations will become nn issue in the next campaign, he said, and the Republicans would have to assume the responsibility. Pepublicans. he said, are In favor of better regulation of tho railroads, but they are not in favor of government ownership of management. There is a

reaction against this policy throughout j the country, he said. On the subject of j

over-confidence Mr. Taft said: "The Democrats are very much divided as the natural result of eight jears of power, and therefore there is every reason to anticipate a campaign in which the Republicans will be united and the Democrats weakened by internal dissension. However. this situation

should not lead to o t-r-conf!denc. There is a ery important year mid a naif before the . clion in which it is hoped ace wiil b established, ;tnd we v. ill sei the cTtnin of an era of prosperity uncuualed in our history, due to the demand lor pence Mipplief, the slocks of which are very low and need great i eplenlshing. Such a condition would reK Democratic hopes, as prosperity hi Ips ft a administration. More than that, wi'h a Republican majority in boi'n bou.-es. the 1 mocra Is will seek to ii the Republican with 1 1 spmisibil it v for needed legislation and to the extent til" burden will be shifted to tho party for

constructive measures for which it may i be very diflicuit to agree upon because: of the close majority in Congress. Therefore, it behooves the Republicans not to osaume thai the victory is won and to' bn careful no' to furnish weapons and arguments U the other side." I
