Stuart Maclaren, British round the world flyer, and his two companions who are missing somewhere along the dreary 430-mile stretch of the Pacific ocean between Yeterfu Island and Paramashiru Island. Failure of Japanese destroyers to find trace of the airmen or plane was reported today in dispatches from Tokio which said the search was being continued.

Instead, they believe Macharen came down because of foggy weather and expect to get news ALLIES ASSUME U.S.WILL HELP LONDON, July 17.—Full sessions of the allied conference on the Dawes reparations plan were abandoned today while three committees of the delegates from the ten nations grappled with knot problems. The American delegates, Anbassador Frank Kellogg and Co. James A. Logan, Jr., unofficial American observer on the reparations commission, had the bus task of serving on all three committees. While serious difficulties arise ahead of the conference, the was seemed cleared today to an eventual settlement by the general feeling that the United States will permit an American to serve if the unofficial but highly important capacity. A conference was held in the British foreign office today and it was learned that all proposals for submission to the allied conference when the full sessions are resumed were based on the art sumption that the United States would permit an American to serve on the reparations commission and act as "agent general for reparations." This afternoon the various committees had not completed their reports but announced they were proceeding harmoniously. A meeting of the French delegation was also held today and it was understood the subject of sanctions against German default was discussed. The French, it was learned will insist that definitive sanctions be enunciated in advance rather than adopt the English proposal of a "general interest" of the debtor nations without specific sanctions. Of the three committees, the most difficult task faces that burdened with the duty of defining German default under the Dawes plan—to decide what body will judge when there had been a defaul-t—and to lay down measures A stop of eight or ten days will be made at Brough while the planes are fitted with pontoons for the jump across the Atlantic, and the engines are thoroughly overhauled. With 16,000 miles behind them and less than 7,000 ahead, the flyers were in a cheerful mood today. One of the first things the flyers dig at Hull was to inspect the new pontoons.

The big planes made perfect ascent, circled the field several times at low altitudes and then headed towards Brough in perfect formation with Lieut. Lowell Smith the flight commander, showing the way. Before stepping into his plane, Lieut. Smith declared he felt sure Stuart Macaren, British round the world flyer, who is overdue at Paramashiru Island in the Kuriles, is not lost. "I don't think there is any need to worry," he said. "I believe he came down because of bad weather. We came over the same course and tre familiar with it. It's pretty foggy this time of the year. Another thing, the lack of news means nothing because communication is difficult from those islands." MEET AT MINNEAPOLIS CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, July 17.

Instead, they believe Macharen came down because of foggy weather and expect to get news from him soon from Bromish Bay in Shimushiru Island, where an emergency supply base has been established for just such a misfortune as has apparently overtaken the British flyers. Color was lent to this view by Japanese advises which said the weather was cloudy but calm and windless.

On the whole the market gave a good account o. itself. Dealings in railroad shares were very heavy today and new high prices were hung up. Many of the low priced rails conspicuous for their absence from the trading list commanded attention today. The list included Rock Island, which it is believed may be taken as a unit in the proposed merger of railroad systems when finally approved by the interstate commerce commission. This spurted 2-1-4 points to a new high above 24. A drive against the oil stocks following reports of larger production last week and final price cutting by the Prairie Oil and Gas Co., was successful and after temporary irregularity the oils stiffened up and sold above the preceding closing level. Atlantic Refining hit back at the short in its rally to 84, up four points, while Mariand, Coden and Phillips advanced nearly a point from their low level. Steel stocks were again irregular. The bond market was active and higher and fractions in beat demand at advancing prices. Industrials were dull and steady, and liberty bonds heavy. The forward movement in prices proceeded vigorously in the last hour with all departments of the market participating. Oil stocks threw off their reactionary tone and were well up in the front on this closing rally. Copper stocks were active at higher prices and market leaders climbed back to their high levels of the first hour. Stock sales today, 1,066,000 shares; bonds, $14,107,000.
