FRIENDSHIP THAT IS REAL
Distance Has but Small Part In Sever
ing Ties Bound Together by
True Affection.

We often hear of cases-more often
between men, but sometimes between
women-where school friends separate
and marry, living their lives apart for
ten or fifteen years, only to find the
old relation just as firm as ever on
meeting again. Or in certain instances
friends separate. never to meet again,
but keep up their correspondence for
years, and the one in a far city would
do just as much for the distant chum.
were the occasion to arise, as IL their
friendship had recently been close and
intimate.
Friendship knows no space and no
bounds. 1t is an indissoluble link be-
tween two human beings. And il you
expect to enjoy the affection of real
pal you must be prepared to do your
share. Do not be forever demanding
and expecting from your friends. You
can only keep alive the pure fame of
friendship by giving unselfish love and
disinterested affection. Do not look
for them, but give from your heart.
dAO yOu Will ACCCAto. mat lH one OF
the beauties OF friendship. The more
love you give. the more you receive.
But the more you demand and expect.
the less you get.
Good pals are more precious than
diamonds or gold, for they are the
rarest of all valuabIes. Friendship is
the salt of the earth and those who
know the Joy of real friendship should
do all in their power to guard and
keep it, not to destroy It
How often we risk losing the affec-
ton of real friends for some worthless
acquaintance! So often we offer In

for the value Of such friendship.

The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1916-05-13

To indicate that his faith In ocean
aerial navigation had not swerved
from his former beliefs, Mr.. Wana-
maker also quoted in his letter ex-
tracts from letter written by him
in February, 1914, prior to the launch
ing of the old America.
THE crossing Of the Atlantic ocean

Mr.. Wanamaker's letter Of that date,
lis to my mind as important to aerial
navigation as was the voyage of Co
lumbus to transportation by water.
What man can do once, he can do
any number Of times. Once the At
lantic Is crossed in a single flight Of
an airship there will soon follow reg
ular transatlantic trips and a fixed
safe transatlantic passenger air line.

is not a matter merely of initiative,
nor OF daring, nor even OF skill; 1t is
a problem of science"

been for some time at work upon a

new AIRCRAFT TO
CROSS ATLANTIC
IN 80 HOURS
Rodman Wanamaker Is Building
Second Giant Craft to Fly
Over Seas.
TO BE LARGEST EVER BUILT
VIII Be Ten Times Power Of America,
Which Was Sold to Great Britain
at Outbreak Of War-To Carry
Crew Of Six Persons, Fuel
and Provisions.

New York.-The construction of a
new America, to be the largest air
craft ever built and to have sufficient
power and speed to cross the Atlantic
ocean in 80 hours, was announced to
local aeronautical authorities by Rod
man Wanamaker Of Philadelphia, pres
ident Of the Aero Club of America.
The order for the huge air machine
already has been placed with the Cur
tiss Aeroplane company by the Ameri-
ca Trans-Ocean company and is now
under construction.
Mr.. Wanamaker was the owner Of
the old America, in which an attempt
to fly from Newfoundland to England
was to have been made in 1914. After
completion it was launched in June Of
that year, achieved a trial speed Of
so miles an hour and was ready for
the transatlantic fight when the war
intervened.
John G. Porte, lieutenant in the
English army, who was to have had
command of the trial trip across the
ocean, returned to his regiment in
England and the proposed fight was
postponed until after the war. In Oc-
tober, 1914, however, under what was
reported as a contract made contin-
gent upon England's entrance into a
war, the America was sold to Great
Britain and was shipped to that coun-
try aboard the steamship Mauretania.
While news concerning the British use
of the huge airship has been censored,
Americans returning from abroad
have asserted that the great hydro
aeroplane has proved all the claims
made for it prior to the war.
Ten Times Power Of others.
The new America will be ten times
the power Of the old one, will be of
design different from anything ever
constructed, and will be by far the
largest airship Of any nature ever
built. While the details of the con-
struction have not been made public,
1t is understood that the new craft
will be equipped with six 12-cylinder
motors Of 300 horsepower each, giving
total power to the airship of 1,S00
horsepower.
This power, it is believed, will be
easily capable Of sending the America
through the air at a speed of 100 miles
an hour.
In addition to attaining the highest
speed yet reached by any large air
craft, the America will be enabled by
it's large size to carry without the
slightest trouble a crew of six per
