from since she disappeared. When last
seen she was standing on the banks of
the lake where Jackson captured the
alligator, and she was wearing at the
time gold watch with her initials en-
graved on the back. The same initials
are on the back Of the watch found in
side the dead alligator. It Is believed by
Jackson and others that while the girl
was playing on the bank of the lake the
alligator came upon the bank and de-
voured her. The parents of the girl have
been notified, and the watch will be re-
turned to them.

The Washington herald., 1911-07-26

An appropriation of $125,O00 in
the military budget for the pur-
chase and maintenance of aero
planes means that the United States
will have a formidable aerial fleet
for coast defense before another
year has passed.
The programme of the Signal
Corps is ambitious. The co-opera-
ton of Congress having been
gained, all that now remains is to
buy the machines and train the
aviators. 1t is figured that at least
twenty aeroplanes can be purchased
this year, with sufficient funds left
of the appropriation for upkeep Of
hangers and other necessary ap-
purtenances.
AMERICA TO LEAD.
Gen. James Allen, chief of the Signal
Corps, is quoted as saying that within
a year the United States will have a
fleet of twenty aerial war ships, manned
by forty officers, giving the United States
a lead in aero strength. At the present
rate of progress this prediction will un-
Questionably come true, for the aviation
work of the army is now progressing by
leaps and bounds.
Since April l four aeroplanes have been
purchased by the Signal Corps-two
Wrights, one Burgess-Wright, and Cur
tiss Two of these are now at College
Park, one Wright is in San Antonio, sup
planting the 1909 model, which has just
been presented to the National Museum,
and one Burgess-Wright machine, as
substitute for that recently wrecked at
College Park, is on its way here
1t is a scarcity of aviators and not
of aeroplanes that bothers the Signal
Corps. The graduate aviators of the
lrmy can still be counted on the fingers.
Lieuts Foulois, Beck, Milling, Arnold.
Kirkland, with Lieut.. Kennedy as a stu
aent, comprise about the entire list Of
icers are being trained just as fast as
possible, however, and it is probable the
army will have more than forty skilled
flyers by July l, 1872
There is sharp bidding among the va
rious aeroplane manufacturing companies
for the army contracts. The Wright
company naturally has a certain prefer
ence in army circles, although the Cur
tiss machine has a strong following,
especially in view of the recent brilliant
experiments with the Curtiss hydroplane
at HammoEdsport, n. Y.
For Naval Use Only.
The hydroplane, however, is Sr naval
use. ~and has no direct interest for the
Signal Corps. Prof. A. F. Zahm, of this
city, made a journey to Hammondsport
TO see the trial performances of the new
machine and was delighted with 1t. He
made out pilots license for Lieut..
Ellison, the naval officer who was trained
by Glenn Curtiss to manage the hydro
plane.
The control system of the Burgess
Wright machine has gained it many adj
herents. and predictions are made tnat
the army will purchase more aeroplanes
Of this make than any other. Nor is
the bidding confined to the manufacturers
In the United States. The Farman con-
cern, of France, has announced its IN
tention of establishing a manufacturing
plant on this side of the Atlantic, and
will make vigorous attempts to interest
the government.
So far the Signal Corps has not shown
the slightest interest in the monoplane.
There is no standard monoplane manu-
factured in the United States, and It is
regarded as less safe and sane" than
the biplane, although it develops greater
