arrangements have been made al.
ready with Germany. and perhaps
with Spain, that insure a line of ships
across the Atlantic. The idea is not
to have them stationed out on the sea,
but to have them sailing in relays.
For instance, from the other side a
ship will start, say, twenty hours
ahead of me, another sixteen, and SO
on until one starts with rue. At the
same time the American warships
will start out in a similar manner, SO
that when we pass the last of the Eu-
leans will be within call"
DR.. Cans goes first to Paris, and
from there to Munich, where he is to
be decorated by the prince regent. He
received a ~cablegram to that effect
the other day. From Munich he goes
to Berlin, where his airship is, and in
the latter part of this month he goes
to Teneriffe for the final preparations.
King Alfonso has placed a cliff pro
tected beach on Teneriffe, largest OF
the Canary islands, at the doctors dis.
posal and has issued orders to admit
the balloon free of duty when it is
shipped from Berlin, where it now is
to Teneriffe for the start.
DIR. Cans hopes to reach the Florida
coast.
