NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE PRAISED

The keynote of comment at the Aero
Club of America-the affiliated member
Of the International Federatiun-was in
commendation Of the enterprise of the
World and The Times in arranging to
have this great scientific adventure re-
ported in the only adequate way-by
the pilot of the expedition.
Lieutenant Porte's first article, de-
scribing the wanamaker machine, was
read eagerly by members of the Aero
Club
President Alan r. Hawley was bub-
bling over with enthusiasm as he came
into the trophy room of the clubhouse
TT certainly is a grand piece of
work." he said You know, even a
layman can appreciate good handling
of big story in which he is inter-
ested. I gladly offer my heartiest con-
gratulations.

most certainly am. Well all be there,
every one Of us that can possibly

wish him godspeed. 1t is an opportuni-
ty that does not come in every ones
iifetime-in fact this is an occasion
unique in the worlds history, and 1 am
not gcing to miss ii.
And" added Mr.. Hawley, "in say
ing that this is a unique event, don't
misunderstood me. This will be the
first time, and as such worth any sac
rifice even to witness as a spectator

Flight Will Be Epochal.
Lieutenant Porte brings out the
fact. apparent to those closely con-
nected with aeronautics. but not fully
realized by the general public. that the
fight across the Atlantic will be as
epochal in its effect on the history of
the world, sociologically and econom-
ically. as the first voyage of Columbus"
Howard Huntington, secretary of the
Aero Club, was chiefly interested in the
fight as problem in transportation.
