 ATHENS, Oct. 17.-Eloquent in his despair over the political situation of his country, King Constantine's ad- dress at the review of the remanant of his once excellent navy, today, was one long to be remembered by those who listened.
 While looking at the pitiful rem enant of what is left of the naval forces. tears streamed from the eyes of the monarch as he told of his grief over the unhappy situation of the Greek nation and of his efforts to pre- serve the country at peace in spite of the overwhelming influences of pow erful foes.
 The king paid an eloquent tribute to the men of the war fleet, lauding them for their loyalty and prasing their steadfast adherence to Greek ideals.

 of aviation at San Diego. Cal, where he investigated the possibilities of
 transmitting mails by aeroplane with
 1t view to operating an areal mail service in this section In the event
 that satisfactory arrangements can be
 made with the government.
 MT. Johnson spent considerable time
 learning the method of handling the
 swift air machines and speaks in in- teresting manner of his flights at the Curtis school fields and also at the
 government aviation field In the same locality.
 He says 1t is whole lot different
 from mushing dogs as the aeroplane Is decidedly more tempermental than
 are canines but he found 1t compara-
 lively easy when the idea was once grasped. His flights were made with an experienced aviator although John-
 son frequently guided the machine himself after he had become acquaint- ed with the system of control. He states that pupils receive their tute- lage in machines provided with a double system of controls by means of which the instructor can rectify any mistakes of the student by means of his own control thus relieving prac- tically all danger of disaster over- taking the neophyte. MT. Johnson says that the only time one realizes the terrific speed of the machines is when leaving the ground. Once In the air all sense of rapid motion is lost
 and the machine appears to be float ing smoothly along at a leisurely paca Flying In a plane Is hardly novel experience any more, he ayers, and all kinds of people, both male and female, indulge in skitters through the air at the training schools Mir. John- son mentions an old lady of seventy

 Mr Johnson investigated particu- larly the adaptability of the aeroplane to the conditions obtaining in this country and announces that lie Is perfectly satisfied with the possibin- ties of transmitting the mails during the summer season in all parts of the country but further improvements are esential to successful operation in the winter He says that the exereme cold of this latitude makes it practically long in a machine without protection from the cold air
 Housing of some character, and also warmth, must be provided before an aviator can make the long flights en- tailed in Alaska mail transportation. For q summers service Johnson favors the hydroplane as he says that the numerous lakes and rivers offer ideal landing and starting places whereas the general surface of the country presents poor facilities for starting or landing.
 So well satisfied is he with the pos abilities in this direction that he has already communicated with the post office department with a view to mak- ing experimental flights with mail during the summer season. He says, however, that the department does not seem disposed to take an active interest at present, owing, doubtless, to the uncertainties of the election period, Mir. Johnson looks we'll after his journey and intimates that the outside agreed with him exceedingly well-in proof of which he says that he is thirty pounds heavier than when he departed last spring Throughout the day yesterday he was exceedingly busy shaking hands with his numer- ous friends and relating his experi- ences in the air.
