self in a practical manner in every de-
tail in all and any vocation. even down
to studying human nature most closely
under all conditions. which is most es-
sential for the pick of the men.
THE salaries / earned in the many
different positions. L applied always to
the one purpose, viz, TO get nearer the
accomplishment which l have now
achieved in a practical Flyer-the alb
solute controller of the aerial zone. \
THE Flyers embody over sixty new
inventions; neither of these will be pat
ented. The crews of the, Flyers, picked
men. who are engaged for life positions
at large salaries. alone will know the
details of the apparatus, etc.
"Other electrical and mechanical in
ventions, which / patented all over the
world in recent years, / simply patented
to be able to put them on the market
and dispose of them, which have done,
applying this additional revenue again
in pushing ahead and completing work
in all channels in connection with
aerial control Flyers. The War Flyers,
Scouts. Exploration and Trade Flyers
will require no patent protection. They
will protect themselves. They will
dominate a zone all their own.
This Will make ii possible in prac-
teal manner TO make treaties with the
different nations upon earth to protect
these nations from invasion of their ter
ritory. In other words, to guarantee
a nation absolute peace forever, doing
away with the necessity OF keeping up
large armies and naVies. For example.
in the event of a treaty between any
nation in America and the government
OF the fiyerss. should some other nation
in Asia or Europe declare war, it would
be a short matter TO bring the enemy
to terms before a single blow could be
struck, by moving upon him from the
European. Asiatic or African nests or
stations and demonstrate very quickly
and decisively that his navy, his mer-
chant marine, his fortresses and, if nee
essary, parts of his country would be
wiped out of existence. Since this can
be successfully accomplished and car
ried out against the most powerful ma
ton upon the globe, il simply means
that perpetual peace is forever assured:
and to bring this about, the Flyers
must forever remain dominant in their
zone. And this will be accomplished
with fleet of Flyers which will be
constantly increased from the nucleus
of two war-fiyers and one scout flyer,
which will be my next work ahead.
Will Use Extreme Caution.
"Since l have been all alone in this
work, using only moneys earned by my
self, progress has been slower of course
than if l had financial cooperation,
and yet l have reached and gone
through all experiences, even of govern
ment, organization, commercial. mill
tary. secret service and the numberless
channels through which human beings
travel. to such an extent that / may say
that have at least lost no time to gain
the most universal experience. includ-
ing all channels in the state of the art
compiled records and maps ETC.
which in the shop. works. the field,
navigation and aerial zone are neces-
sary for practical, successful work and
exploration. And above all have tested
these in practical application and fin
ished the numberless flights. necessary
to assure and warrant the building of
the nucleus of the fleet.
1t is possible that financial cooper
alton may present itself in such way
that / may be able to accept this. In
such an event, my co-operators would
then be virtually in control of all fin
ances. whilst the officers ON the Flyers
merely would remain in control of han
ding the various Flyers as they may be
ordered for duty on such missions IS
the executive committee may demand
for war, trade, exploration, discovery
or any other purposes.
"On account of having been too busy
on the practical work in every direction
necessary for the ultimate completion
and establishment of the aerial zone,
| have not sought nor solicited such
financial cooperation. which. of course.
would save me very much valuable
time and give returns almost beyond
conception to the co-Operators.

shall continue 10 work, push ahead and
earn enough until l am able 10 con-
struct two flyers of war and one scout
flyer. The two flyers of war will carry
a crew of eight men-each. The scout
three men. All being equipped with all
necessary supplies, ammunition, instru-
ments. signal descending and ascend
ing apparatus. air and water floating
apparatus. for all needful purposes, ex-
ploring instruments for communication
between any altitude and sea level. etc
Every Flyer will be capable TO re-
main in independent and continuous ac-
ton at any altitude from 10. 900 to 20 600
feet above sea level and sustain
flight of from 1900 10 500 miles at
mean average speed of sixty-fve miles
per hour, These figures and estimates
are based solely upon the averages of
previous tests made

Of this fleet will come the expenses of

larry engineers. officers men OF the
Flyers. assistants, secret service men,
commercial and financial representa-
tives and the numerous other branches
of the regular service.

Concerning patents: All inventions
after being patented are protected to
a certain extent. and largely so, for a
period of years in the various countries
where patent laws are in existence.
This protection is often very effective,
as il has proven itself in many cases.
and as II did in some of mine, both in
the electrical and mechanical fields
yet the main point TO consider is the
fact that there are countries in which
no patent laws are in operation. Fur
thermore, that in other countries like
SPAIN great inventions may be declared
as of national Importance and that
in such an event the government may
appropriate any such invention and
simply pay the inventor what they
