encouraging the art that under cer-
tain circumstances an aeroplane could
be made to leave a ship and return to

so far, to develop a machine that will
be as nearly independent of a ships
deck and of the land as possible, par
ticularly on rising into the air. not
only for possible service I'm war but
for the more frequent demands of
training at all times. for of course its
development must be accompanied by
the training of the personnel to iT

WANTS AIRSHIPS
FOR THE NAVY
SECRETARY MEYER TELLS OF
THE USES THE AEROPLANE
COULD Be PUT TO
BY SHIPS.

The only use of the aeroplane seri-
ously contemplated, as yet by the
navy is as an aid in scouting, in reco-
naissance and in communicating be-
tween ships. or between ships and a
CO. operating force on shore
The French fleet. on its way to
Egypt, seriously encumbered by the
army that was transported. could not
have escaped the watchful Nelson. as
II did, had he been supplied with eff
cient aeroplanes and trained airmen.
BY the use Of aeroplanes, Cervera' S
presence at Santiago could have been
discovered in time to have materially
simplified our operations and COM
Imunication between Shafter and
Sampson would have been greatly fa-
cilitated. The japanese base at the Ell
lott islands would have been discov-
cred and constantly watched If the
Russians had been provided with aero
planes and II the japanese had been
provided with them, communication
between Japan and their advanced
base would have been greatly facih-
tatcd.
II Is also probable that many of the
blockade mines planted by both Rus
slams and japanese Off Port Arthur
could have been located by acroplanes
in time TO have saved some 81 the
ships that were destroyed by these
mines In the Pacific, last year, q Cur

The average aeroplane OF today.
however, is more suitable for army
uses than for naval purposes and the
great number OF aviators that have
been sacrificed in the pioneer work. 10
far, bears grim testimony 10 the fact
that there is need for conservatism In
the development OF aircraft for naval
work. as the navy can il afford ~

money prizes to cover risks are not
available to naval airmen, but this
fact will not deter them from risklug
