The Board Of Estimate and Appor-
tionment has prepared an answer, sew
enty-fve feet long, to critics Of the
proposed agreement between the city
and the New York Central railroad
for the elimination of the surface
tracks on the West Side. This answer
extends across the north mezzanine
gallery in Grand Central station. 1t
is a complete model Of Riverside Park
and Drive from Seventy-second Street
to 153d Street as that section will ap-
pear after the West Side improvement
plan is finished.
With a scale Of one inch to twenty
feet, the model is based upon park treat
ment furnished to the Port and Termi-

railroad will be obligated to pay for
under the proposed contract.

Dutch Aviator Calls u. S. Far

An aeroplane is almost certain TO ny
across the Atlantic Ocean In q short
time" said Sir Marius van Meel, OF
Rotterdam, at the Hotel McAlpin yes
terday. ~r,,
Sir Marius, knighted by Queen Will
helmina of Holland for establishing an
aviation school for Dutch officers short
ly after the outbreak of the war, is a
daring aviator and holds the Dutch rec

AZ do not expect an American plane
to be the first to make the trip he
said. "Poor America! she is tagging
far in the rear of all nations in this
respect Development of the science OF
flying since the war started has been
remarkable. In the beginning the
French were the most proficient flyers.
The Germans have learned a great
deal, and there is now little to choose
between the aviators Of the two ma.
tons. The British have been behind
both.

D0WNPOUR ROUTS
SENIOR ROCKIES
Plattsburg Juniors Show
Bravery and Stay
by Guns.
rrrom q stsn Correspondent Of The Tribunal

from . star Correspondent Of The Tribunal
Plattsburg, N. Y, July 13.-Military
training will tell. The junior rockies
proved that to-day, when they stood
up to the enemy without flinching be-
cause Of the ten days soldering they
had had, while the green senior troops
ANONYMOUSLY took to fight.
The foe, as usual, was the weather.
and the attack was ten-miDute
downpour. It began just as those
juniors, who are taking artillery, were
riding back to camp on the caissons
Of the field pieces. Nearby was a
company Of newly formed seniors.
When the rain came. the older men
did not wait for orders, but broke
ranks and took to cover. The college
boys stayed by their guns.
The senior companies we're shaken
to-day by orders from Major General
Leonard Wood setting aside the plan
adopted by the camp commanders to
give second-year men advanced work
in exclusive companies. The last-year
men who elected cavalry had been
formed into a special troop, and were
to report with Troops | and X, Of the
Cd United States Cavalry.
Lisewise last year rockies who
wanted to take advanced infantry were
formed into an exclusive organization
and assigned as Company E in the
9th Regiment. But General Wood
vetoed the plan, ordering that the men
be disposed of throughout the regl-
ments to give the newcomers the ben
eft of their experience.
Among the new names in the lists
to-day were c. o. Iselin, jr., 80 Wall
Street, New York; D. Leroy French,
Tuxedo; William G. McAdoo, jr.
Washington, son OF the Secretary OK
the Treasury, and his brother, X. H..
McAdoo; c. Arbuthnot, Bird, Pitts
burgh; H. Worthington, 80 East Sew
enty-seventh Street, New York; Mon
trose Lee, 81 Wall Street; c. F. Wat
son, jr., Wall Street; r. Barlow, l6
Gramercy Park; II. Oelrichs, Union
Club; F. de l.. Cunningham, Union
Club; Edward s. Hewitt, 597 Fifth
Avenue; E. c. Wilmerding, 90 Wall
Street; Thomas p. Borden, 43 West
Tenth Street; ]. Laying Mills. 697
Fifth Avenue; Evarts Tracy, 24i Fifth
Avenue; F. r. Appleton. jr., so Wall
Street, and Murray Quigg, of New
York, son of Lemuel Ely Quigg.
Another plan unsettled by General
Wood was TO send the juniors out on
the hike a week before the seniors.
General Wood said that he wanted
the whole command of four regiments
to be put through the campaigning
manoeuvre together.
II was also announced tonight that
the juniors would have to give up
their reselective courses entirely, ow-
ing to the shortage of officers and
equipment.
