on earth, it war merely matter OF
routine. Saufley, one Of the worlds
masters of aeronautics, had said he
was going to break his record Of eight
hours and five minutes sustained
flight, and it was simply a matter
of letting the clock go round. The
regular drone Of the engine told he
was not having the engine trouble
that drove him back to earth the last
time.
Suddenly the machine took
plunge. Saufleg was soaring ~ a
height Of five hundred feet at the
time, the watchers knew there was
no reason for this maneuver. In the
flash of a second the flight became
ineredibly-but sigh of relief went
up as the plane Strengthened out on
an even keel again.
Then suddenly cropped head
long, spinning, and crImpled to trash
on Santa Rosa Island, opposite the
station.
Two physicians were rushed 70 the
spot in aeroplanes, and found Saufley
buried beneath the wreckage. Death
had been instantaneous.
If Saufley beat his former record
it was by a few seconds, as he fell at
about one o'clock.
The Cause.
An investigating committee, con-
sisting of Lieutenant Kenneth Whit
ing, and Junior Lieutenants P. N.
Bellinger and Earl w. Spencer, was
Immediately appointed to ascertain II
possible, the cause Of the disaster.
Their findings are not made public,
but are for the navy department
alone.
The machine was Of a modern type,
had been prepared especially for the
endurance flight, and was in good
condition. Judging from the way the
machine behaved, broken tail was
the cause of the accident.
The second and fatal drop was from
a distance Of probably fifty feet. Had
the machine been over the water,
Sankey's life might have been saved.
Saufley's Career.
Lieutenant R. C. Saufley, a native
of Kentucky, entered the naval aead-
envy in Annapolis, in 1904, and grad
uated in 1908, with high honors. 80
was promoted to ensign in 1910; to
junior lieutenant in 1913. He held the
worlds altitude record, over 10000
feet, or more than three miles, and
also the endurance record for hydro
aeroplanes. He was recognized ev-
erywhere as one Of the most skilled
aviators.
Lieutenant Saufley was a young
man, in the late twenties; he is sur
vived by a wife, but 10 children.
Aviation is suspended until after
the funeral.
Naval Aviators Killed.
Lieutenant Saufley's death, the
second within fifteen days, is the
fourth aviation tragedy in Pensacola,
and the fifth connected with the
navy.

Congress Waking Up

One good thing has been accomplished already by
the border troop movement, in waking up congress to
the imperative necessity of advancing the measures for
improving the military establishment. The movement
small as it is has resulted in demonstrating to the
whole country, and especially to the administration
and TO congress- the fact that little mobile army
available within the national boundary is inadequate
in size for any serious work requiring quick concentra
tiou of z considerable force at any point
The truth has been 'dinned into the ears OF the
peope for several years. by military authorities, the
press and well informed in public life. But II
has fallen on deaf ears for the most part The truth
has been told that when all the detachments
are deducted together with the coast artillery and all
the army service corps to be cassed part Of the
mobile fighting force there not over 25OOO men
available in the regular army for field duty IN the
United States. Now with the Mexican expedition I'M
pending we are brought face to face with the fact that
the necessary border guard and the small exPedonaIy
force combined, exhaust the available forces. The
United States could not take new Responsibilities
at this time without calling the national guard and
volunteers.
Congress has already taken action specially to au
thorze the raising of the present army to full strength
contemplated existing law. This action could have
been ordered directly by the president but 1t was
thought better that congress should act inaSmuch as
it means adding about s15Ooo0o0 year to the present
cost of the army. So the additional 10000
men can enlisted and trained the mobile army viii

unless unforeseen demands arise, it will become I'M
