LIEUTENANT PORTE
CHOSE NEW ROUTE
FOR OCEAN FLIGHT
Aviator Crossing to Ireland
VIII Go Via Azores-All
Ready to Start Next Month

Hammondsport, N. Y, June IL
An entirely new route adding five
hundred miles to the transatlantic
flight has been selected by Lieutenant
John Cyril Porte. who will pilot the
Rodman Wanamaker flying boat be-
ing assent led here at the Curtiss
Aeroplnne factory. Instead Of flying
directly from New Foundland to Ire
land, Lieutenant Ports will steer for
the Azores, then for the Spanish coast,
and will strike the Irish coast near
Queenstown. He will start next
month.
The distance over the new route is
approximately 2.4o0 miles. 1t is LISA
miles by direct line from New Found
land to Ireland. OF the three legs in
the new course the first is nearly as
long as the other two. 1t is IL 40
miles from st. Johns to Azores. $50
miles from there toethe Spanish coast,
and In $40 miles from Spain to
Queenstown
Three weeks ago John Lansing

mondsport on 81 secret mission. 1t was

will be ready to assist Lieutenant

This change In plans Is radical. IL
had been intended TO cross the At

ing on the wafer. The original ma
chine planned by Mr.. Curtiss was so
designed that 1t could not have arisen

of the new plan is that the longest

The question of fuel supply is anoth-

ard others who have considered the
trans- tiantic flight impossible have

supply is replenished at the Azores

ROOSEVELT TELLS

ABOUT THE RIVER
Before Tremendous Crowd
Depicts River of Doubt
Rice Takes Issue With the
Cololne

London, June 16.---Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt placed the River OF
Doubt on the map before distin-
guished audience Of the Fellows OF
the Royal Geographical society to-
night In much the same manner as
he did in his lecture at Washington
after his return from Brazil, but he
did not invite his hearers to ask any
questions. This omission was great
" regretted by DIR. Hamilton Rice
the explorer, who had made a spe-
ciai journey from Madrid. and was
all prirnad to ask the colonel innum
cradle questions, mostly Of a scien-
Itific nature.
The lecture did not develop any
new points in addition to those made
in his address at Washington. The
coloneFs manner Of delivery was a
surprise and the wea.kn ness of his
voice astonished his friends. who had
been accustomed to his former stem.
torian tones There was a noticeable
huskiness and lack of driving force
and when the lecturer lowered his
voice it was practically impossible te
hear him at the table where the re-
porters sat There was also an alb
sence of the colonel,s customary ges-
lures, He did not hammer the table
once during the evening.
An American who sat near the cor.
respondents remarked: THE coione

Colonel Roosevelt's proposal 10 give
anyone accredited by the Royal Geo
graphical society a letter OF intro
duction to the River of Doubt was
heartily greeted, At the conclusion
of the lecture Fiscount Bryce moved
a resolution conveying vote OF
thanks to the colonel. and 1t was car.
r7ed unanimously
After the lecture DIR. Hamilton Rice
said: The colonel and myself speak
two different languages. / speak from
ia purely scientific point. Whatever
criticism ] have made of Colone
Roosevelt WAS based on data which
had before me at that time. ! have
no doubt the colonel has done what
he says, although the story he told
tonight was considerably different
from the one he first told me. In
stead Of having surveyed the river for
a thousand miles, this work was done
for less than one degree. There are
many points on which I would have
liked to question the colonel. but they
would have been mostly technical and
scientific, which II Is doubtful thai
ne could answer
DIR. Rice was asked IL he had any
personal antrnus IN the matter He
replied: Il frankly admit that I am
prejudiecd against Colonel Roosevelt
on account of the manner in which
he treated Colon bia,"
During the day Colonel Roosevelt
paid a round OF visits TO a number Of
public institutions, Including West.
minister Abbey and the National His,
tory Museum. He took luncheon al
Lieutenant Colonel Lees house, wher:
ne met number OF explorers and bis
