GRAHAME-WHITE PLANS
BIG AIR FLEET PROJECT
Aviator Lays Scheme For Mercantile
and Mail Carrying DirioibIss.

A comprehensive scheme for dealing
with the entire subject Of an aerial
fleet and Its necessary APPENDICES has
been laid before the English govern
ment by Claude Grahame- White. The
scheme includes the establishment OF
a mercantile air feet subsidized by the
government. airship stations in every
large city and around the coast and
schools for air pilots all over the Unit
ed Kingdom.
It is understood that powerful
group Of financiers Is ready to finance
any scheme having government sup
port for building dirigible airships 81
simultaneously in various parts Of Eng.
land. Mr.. Grahame- White In an In
terview said:
"It is my aim to found Q mercantile
air feet on the same basis as the
Cunard line. We could carry mails for
the government, and the airships could
be used for general purposes In times
Of peace. Our proposal Is cut and
dried. We are prepared to do the work
provided we have government assur-
ance. We are prepared to foster this
immense industry with private capital
and to tnke all the responsibility. We
are ready to secure the finest skilled
mechanics from all parts Of Europe
and to put a mercantile air feet on a
paying basis"

General Estrada Wants United States
TO Teach Boys From Each Country.

General Estrada Wants United States
TO Teach Boys From Each Country.
Suggestions for the mutual benefit Of
the United States and Central America
were made recently Mt New Orleans by
General Juan Jose Estrada. former
president Of Nicaragua and the leader
in the successful revolution which de-
stroyed the power Of Jose Santos Ze-
laya in that country. General Estrada
was en- route to New York. He Is a
believer In the education Of the masses,
and in an interview he has outlined an
elaborate plan of sending 500 boys
from each Of the Latin American cOun-
tres to the United States to be edu-
Gated.
II have great faith In the future Of
Nicaragua and all the Central Amert-
can countries" said General Estrada.
II believe that closer relations. both
commercial and social, should be es-
tablished between the United States
and those countries.
"In my opinion the best way to do
this is to educate the growing genera-
ton in feeling Of friendliness to
America and the American people. In
culcate in them a love Of freedom and
modern ideas. Let the United States
take 800 boys from each Of the coun.
tries, including Mexico. Guatemala,
Honduras. Nicaragua, Costn Rica. Sal
vador and Panama and give them n
thoroughly practical education fitting
them for the battle Of life"
