Alrick Man of Queens was made

support of the nomination he said that
Mr.. Churchill had done great work for

AIRCRAFT NOT WAR VESSELS.
Even ~ They Rise From Sen, Bryan
Tells Won Bernstorn.

WAsHINGToN Feb. 1.-The State De-
partment declines to accept the conten-
lion Of the German Ambassador. Count
Won Bernstorff, that hydroaeroplanes are
vessels Of war Replying to Ambassa-
dor Won Bernstorff's communication on
the question Secretary Bryan said to-
day:
The fact that hydroaeroplane is
fitted with apparatus to rise from and
1light upon the sea does not in my
opinion give it the character Of a vessel
any more than the wheels attached to
an aeroplaue to rise from and alight
upon land give the latter the character
OF q land vehicle.
Both the hydroaeroplane and the
aeroplane are essentially aircraft; as
an aid in military operations they can
only be used in the air; the fact that
one starts its night from the surface OF
the sea ana the other from the land Is
mere incident which in no way affects
their aerial character"

FEDERAL AVIATION
BOARD PROPOSED
Advisory Committee to De-
vclop Aircraft Urged in
Memorial to Congress.
APPROVED BY WILSON

WAsHINGroN. Feb. lin a memorial
presented 10 Cvrrsiess to-day and hea--
ing the signatures OF Alexander Graham
Bell and Charles d. Walcott of the
Smithsonian Institution a strong recon-
mendation IL made for the creation by
law OF national advisory committee
to develop aircraft for war and other
purposes.
The memorial points out that the
Smithsonian Institution became inter-
ested in aeronautics In 1860 and that Il
Is appropriate therefore that 1t should
address Congress on the subject.
II sets forth that while tire United
States led the world in the earl err de-
velopment OF heavier than air achines
Il is now the only first class Power that
does not have an advisory committee
FOR aeronautics and suitable research
laboratories for the advancement Of
aviation.
The memorial was prepared by a
committee named by the regents for
the institution with the approval Of
President Wilson. The project pro-
posed. therefore. has the Endorsement
uf the Administration.
II is recomu ended that the aeronau-
tic committee he named by the Presl-
dent and be clothed with authority to
devise means for the coordination OF the
activities of the governmental and pr!-
vate laboratories In which questions
concerned with the problems OF aero
nautics can be eXperimentally investi-
gated
'"he committee il TO be made up OF
two representatives of the War Depart
ment, two representatives Of the Navy
Department and one representative each
Of the Smithsonian Institution, the Blu
relu Of Standards and the Weather Blu
reau, together with seven men skilled
in aeronautical engineering or its al
lied sciences.
The memorial states that at the out
break OF the war France had about
l,4O0 aeroplanes, Germany 1000. Rus
STA 500 Great Britain 400 and the
United States 90. Reference Is made to
experiments with aircraft conducted by
Prof Langley, late secretary Of the
Smithsonian Institution, and credit a.
given to him, the Wright brothers and
Curtlss for the invention and early de-
velopment of the heavier than air ma
chimes Attention is directed 10 the
progress made by France, Germany.
England and Russia in the development
and use Of aircraft.

coming decade as has been made in the
past ten years" saws the memorial, the

nent a part of the means Of rapid and
safe transportation. with certain lmita-
tions, as the automobile to-day Is in

II IL conceded that an overwhelming
