Plan for Atlantic Flight

PARIS. Sept. 26.-Roland G. Gar
ros. who on Tuesday made an aero
plane flight across the Mediterranean,
is quoted as to the possibility of a
flight across the Atlantic Ocean. He
believes this to be possible.
His plan would be to divide the
journey into three stages. First,
from England to Iceland second,
from Iceland to Newfoundland; third,
from Newfoundland to the United
States. Two of these stages would
actually be shorter than his France
to Tunic flight. and the third very
little longer. With properly arranged
supply stations at the stopping points
the flight, he believes, would be quite
realiZable
