POSTPONE FLIGHT
 ACROSS ATLANTIC
Lieut.. Porte to Return to Eng|all
 for Army StaVGe.

New York, Aug. 5.-Rodman Wanf amaker, may have to postpone hIs attempt to send an aeroplane across the Atlantic until next spring, Lieu tenant John Cyril Porte, the pilot has decided to return to England to fight in the war with Germany. Porte retired from the British navy on account of ill health but at the first rumor of war made up his mind to go back into the service.
 Will Cash and Sumner K. Hollandf CT, representing Rodman Wanamaker, announced last night at the Aero club of America that Porte's decision met with their approval, and that no attempt would be made to send the America across the ocean until Porte was at liberty to handle her.
 Lieutenant Porte said last night that he did not think the war would last long. The nations which have caused the disturbance will come to their senses soon, I think" he added, and then I shal! return here .o make the long flight"
 May Try in October.
 If the trouble is over in time to make the flight October I, as planned, Porte will try it then. If not, it will have to be postponed until sprini', owing to the unfavorable weather conditions that prevail in the late au- tumn. This was the conclusioiI reached at a conference at which Lieutenant Porte, Will Cash, Sumner R. Hollander, Glenn H. Curtiss and T. K. McIlroy were present.
 Lieutenant Porte was booked on the Lusitania, which was expected to yaf 1aC trl,t To tive service in the aviation corps, al- though he said he would like to re1 turn to his old post in the submarine service. Tt would be a lot of sport to shoot some torpedoes at some of those blighters,' was the reason he gave.
 In discussing the use of aircraft in the European war; Glenn Fl. Curtiss said last evening: This struggle will demonstrate what type of aircraft is best adapted to war purposes. For more than a year France, Germany and Russia have not given out in- formation regarding their aeronauti- cal activities, but they have been augmenting their air fleets steadily.
 Disapproyes of Ramning.

If any quantity of weight is dropped from a dirigible at the same time a quantity of gas must be- noted to be a first lieutenant. Hef taining power of the craft too rapidly to permit of long trips over hostile countries.
 "Of course, if the war lasts long the air fleets will continually seek tC destroy each other. The nation hav- ing the largest number of aircraft will obviously have distinct advan-s tage. r
 ''I can't say that l approve of ram ming a dirigible with an aeroplane. There are other ways of accomplish ing the same result, such as dropping. an explosive into the gas envelope, which gives the aviator d chance for his life.'
 Mr. Curtiss said that about fifty of . his machines were owned by the war. ring nations and that, with the excep- tion of France, the percentage of bi- planes was about 75. In France the monoplanes are in the lead, but the new armored machines are of the bi- plane type. Curtiss believes that the aeroplanes can be used to the best advantage in scouting capacity.
