English Aviator
 Sails for Home
TAKING ALONG THE INTERIM
 TIoNAL SPEED TROPHY.
CLAUDE GRAHAME-WHITE
Says That When We Get a Speed of 200 Miles an Hour tho Fun Will sRean-WiIl Figure in War.

New York, Nov. 30.-Claude Gra- hame-White sailed for England today, and with him went the Gordon Ben- nett international speed trophy, which he lifted from the keeping of America at the recent international meet at Belmont park. Before the gangplank was drawn on board. he gave a, little summary of the trend of aviation in general and its development in this country in particular.
 Possible to Endure Any Speed.
 '"It's when we get speed of 100 to 200 miles an hour that the fun will begin" he said People are not go- ing to adopt flying as practical means of travel until it has been made faster than other modes of transit now in existence. It will be perfectly pos sible for passengers to endure any speed, because they will be encased in an alright chamber, just as they are in vestibuled train.
 America Less interested Than Europe
 America isn't so much interested in aviation as Europe There is no continuous interest here. The people go to the big meets, just as they would go to acrobatic exhibitions, and for get that there is such a thing as the science of aviation
 Battleships Will Be Made Useless.
 Grahanae- White thinks that with the aeroplane's future development it will make battleships useless, open the se- crets of all Notifications, no matter how cleverly masked, and put an end to war. The possibilities of war in the air, he believes. are too horrible for civilization to contemplate.
 Transatlantic Air Lines.
 'But the peaceful possibilities con- tinued the enthusiast. "are endless. see no reason why we should not es- tablish transatlantic air lines. Wa need only two things-safety and speed. and speed in itself brings great CT stability. Brief study of the rec ords for this year justifies one in all most any stretch of belief as to what the future may bring
