SIGNAL CORPS AIRsHIps.

Washington, July 3--The officers OF
the signal corps of the army are con-
sidering the feasibility of issuing pro-
posals for bids for an aeroplane capa-
BILE of fulfilling more difficult require-
ments than those which the Wright
machine is under contract to accom-
plish
Because A. NJ Herring has not COM
piled with his contract, the signal
corps has $4,000 additional at its dis
posal for this purpose 1t Is conced-
ed that the Wrights are able to meet
all the conditions imposed upon them
and 1t is the desire of the signal corps
officers to offer a further incentive to
inventors TO develop the aeroplane to
even greater possibilities.
In the new specifications soon to
be issued the war department may de-
eide to increase the rate of speed from
40 to so miles and to require the ma
chine to remain in the air for two or
even three hours. 1t also Is possible
that the aeroplane may have to make
a cross country flight between two ci-
ties.
The Wright brothers worked on their
| machine today, hoping to have 1t re-
| paired by the early part of the week.
