MAY CROSS THE ATLANTIC
Dutch Aviator Seems to Have the
Right Idea in Project He
Has in Mind.

Between Brazil and Guinea the At
lantic ocean is only about 1900 miles
wide. From Newfoundland to Ireland.
the narrowest breadth north of the
equator. is nearly twice as far From
New York to the nearest point of
France is nearly three times as far
Hitherto most schemes of aerial flight
across the Atlantic have contemplated
some northern route. That suggested
by the authorities of the San Francisco
exposition is by way of Labrador,
Greenland and Iceland. 1t has re-
manned for the Dutch aviator, Van der
Born, to make the first preparation to
cross the ocean from continent TO con-
tinent without stop. and he proposes
to take the southern route. where the
Atlantic is narrowest.
Van der Born is now supervising the
construction of new type of hydro
aeroplane. When it is complete he will
go to the port of Konakey, in French
Guinea, whence he promises TO fly to
Pernambuco, Brazil.
The scheme is more plausible than
any of the other discussed trans
oceanic flights. 1t is natural and gen.
sible that the first crossing should be
attempted at the narrowest place, even
though the flight must be longer than
any one of the stages of the Green
land route. There is, OF course, the
danger of tropical air currents, but
these are not much more to be feared
than the storms of sub-Arctic regions
which are suggested for the northern
route.
No one who has observed the prog.
ress Of aviation doubts that before
long the Atlantic will be crossed by
some venturesome flyer. There is no
reason to maintain an attitude of
scepticism toward the aviators Of our
own day. who have done so much In
so brief a time. and who may do as
much more within the next few years.

GAIN FROM USE OF MANURE
Ohio Station Obtained Increase
Amounting to $3.50 Per Ton
Cultivation Is Important

The net return realized from ton
OF yard manure under general farm
ing conditions depends upon the soil,
method of cultivation and crops
grown.
The Ohio experiment station has OBJ
tanned an increase amounting to
$4.69 per ton from yard manure
used at the rate OF eight tons per
acre In a five-year rotation of corn,
oats, wheat, clover and timothy;
four tons being applied to corn and
four tons to wheat, this return being
the average for the third ive-year
period; the average return from the
yard manure used In all tests in
which rotation is practised has been
s2.97 per ton for the whole time.

 BEL LGIAN'S DEFENSE

Washington, Aug. 7.-Amer1can, ar my officers think that in the campsign through Belgium lies Ger1nany,s great. est hope of marching her troops into France. Even allowing for the rleces- sity Of crushing the Belgium army. the experts here regard this as the most feasible point of attack.
 For nearly forty years the French engineers, among the ab1est in the world in scientific design. have been laboring like beavers constructing for tifications of earth and steel. even in. cluding great revolving turrets like those of dreadnaught, that now practically cover every mile of the frontier between Trance and Germany and south of Belgium. In the esti- mate of army engineers these de- fences are invuinerable, except against an army vastly outnumbering the French forces behind the parapets and in the rifle pits
 The American axiom is that one soldier behind such defenses as the Trench have erected on this fron33er, is equal to four in the attacking Ar- my.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-08-07

This ratio of effective dsfensive and offensive pow CT might be greatly re- drced by systematic siege operations, but this would involve the expendi- ture o9 that most precious factor 4n a cam n-tiTne, which would not be in accord with the supposed German plans for a dash to Paris.
 Therefore rhe beginning of the cam pain in Belgium had been expected here. and the outcome Is being await ed with great interest by the general staff The belief is that the Belgians for the present will confine them selves to obstructive tactics in the German front, fetnting and skirmish- ing and falling back so as to reduce their percentage of loss and losing no opportunity to harass the advancing German army, and if possible to cut it's lines of communication.
 While this is going on American strategists believe the French forces, which are very numerous in the neighbornood of Rheims and to the north and south of that fortress, will come to the, aid of the Belgians
