fever, and they have been so far sue

AIRhEN REJOICE
OVER u. S. RULING
By GORDON BRUCE.

A sigh OF relief went up from the
ranks of the aeronautic devotees when
it became known that the Department
of State had refused to recognize the
hydro-aeroplane as a vessel OF war"
and that the German Ambassador had
been informed that the United States
could not look upon such products as
contrabsnd of war.
The true reason for the feeling was
that Glenn II. Curtiss, as well as sew
eral other manufacturers, were all
ready to move their plants to Canada
if the decision had been adverse. War
business from the other side of the
Atlantic has been the only ray OF hope
in the aeronautical business OF this
country since the conflict began. Sec
rotary Bryan's action has had a reas-
surfing effect and will materially aid in
promoting aviation here.
Orville Wright has placed his o. X.
on the transcontinental air race under
the auspices of the Panama-Paciic tx
position. In letter received at the
Aero Club OF America he expressed his
approval of the project in emphatic
terms. II was somewhat of a contrast
to the lukewarm support he gave to the
plans for the world race last year.
More encouragement for the coast
forecast race came yesterday in the
form Of communication from Glenn
l.. Martin, the leading Western aero
plane manufacturer. He declared the
race entirely practicable, and signihed
his intention of entering as many avia
tors in the event as would be justiti-
able.
Martins attitude was welcome TO the
exposition people on account Of his
Western affiliations and his Importance
in aviation circles. II was in one of his
machines that Lieutenant Byron Jones,
Of the United States army, broke the
American duration record on January
Is. Jones flew continuously for eight
hours and fifty-three minutes. Martin
personally holds the record for aviator
and passenger of five hours and fifteen
minutes, made in October.
New York is 10 have new aero
nautical publication. IL is to be

lected is Aerial Age" The first issue
will be on March is. The paper will be
the only aviation weekly in America,
and will be devoted to air navigation
alone.

DIR. Finley Says Mrs. Bresow and Mrs Wagner Erred
