ITALIAN Plane
LEAVES TODAY
Capt. Resnati Postpones
Trip to Base Because
of Air Conditions.

Capt. Resnati, of the Italian war
plane which has been undergoing re-
pairs In Potomac Park since Satur-
day, announced last night that he
would pilot his huge Caproni plane
back to Newport News. Va, at about
o'clock this morning. 1t was his
intention to take the air yesterday
afternoon. but he put OFF his flight
on account of a telegram received
from aviation experts at Langley
Field, his destination. that conditions
near the coast were unfavorable for
the trip.
Although the torn right wing-tip of
the big machine was repaired yester-
day afternoon, and earlier in the day
Capt Resnati had announced a trip
aloft in an exhibition flight. he de-
cided later, not to go up. that the
new coating OF shellac on the damag-
ed wing might dry thoroughly.
Motor tests, of the three engines
with a total of 525 horsepower, were
held late in the afternoon, and the
captain was enthusiastic over their
condition. Turning to a lieutenant
colonel in the aviation service OF the
United States, who was watching the
tuning up" the Italian remarked:
"She Is working just as though she
were after the Kaiser's head"
Among the distinguished visitors
who inspected the big bomb-dropper.
and listened to an explanation of its
working from the officers and mech
anicians, were Justice Reynolds, of
the Supreme Court. and Capt. Ker-
nit Roosevelt, son of the former
President, and himself holding a COM
mission as an aviator in the Signal
Corps.
New York will be the next city to
receive a visit from the Italian fight
ing planes.
