AVIATION FAR FROM PERFECT
NAVAL LIEUT.. DAVIS TALKS
ABOUT AIRsHIPs.
Says That Practicability Remains to
Be Demonstrated-Refutes Stories
About Warships.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 26-Avi-
alton as an adjunct to the naval service
is q long way from having reached prac.
ticability, and. Notwithstanding the Won
derful accomplishments Of the Wrigh,
brothers and the other builders. 1t is
premature to talk Of the use Of airships
In warfare. This Is the opinion Of Lieut.
r. II. Davis of the Marine Corps. who Is
in Minneapolis on two months leave OF
absence and is the guest Of Walter Poeh-
Ter. Lieut.. Davis. who Is son of Rep
resentative Charles Davis and a former
resident of st. Peter. was attached to
the battleship Virginia and made the
world tour with the fleet. He will remain
here for time and will be taken over
the golf links at the Minikahda Club
Lieut.. Davis went over the links at the
various clubs in the different countries
where the fleet touched, and Is said to
play strong game. Some OF the local
golfers are anxious to have try against
him on the Minikahda course.
Battleships Not Hurt by Voyage.
The recent criticisms that have been
SO widely circulated in effect that the
feet as a result of the world tour has
suffered greatly and that some of the
ships have been rendered worthless is
not only false, Lieut.. Davis said, but 1t
is vicious. The Vermont and the Georgia.
after the prolonged sea service, steamed
from Portsmouth to New York at a rate
better than nineteen knots, or a speed
greater than was called for In the speci-
f1cations when the keels Of these ships
were laid. This. Lieut.. Davis said,
should be a sufficient answer.
Every one in the service has an in
terest in the work of the aviators, said
Lieut.. Davis, and we are watching the
new developments. It is realized in the
navy that possibilities remain that are
beyond computation, and in view OF the
wonderful things the Wrights and others
have done no one dareS say what may
be done next.
Inapplicable to Warfare.
"I think. however, that there Is per-
haps some little tendency to overestimate.
Navigation of the air, in 50 far as its
applicability to warfare is concerned, to
naval warfare at least. is In the expert
mental stage. There might be such later
perfection of flying apparatus as would
revolutionize the service. but I think we
are long way from that as yet.
There Is much In print about the ex-
periments Of Germany and France with
airships with the idea Of applying them
to military uses, but our own govern
ment. I am sure. although 1t has not
much to say. Is fully up with. If not in
knowledge Of all that relates to aviation
and the latest developments.
Il think the memory of our reception
in Japan is imbedded deepest. Australia
gave the feet a magnificent reception.
So. indeed. did all the countries where
we touched. But the Japanese carried
hospitality to the farthest point, and we
were fairly overwhelmed with dinners,
receptions and other attentions"
