Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1917-12-12

Lawrence Sperry's recent expert
ments In triplane, Curtiss model.
which he calls the ultimate safe
machine" have called attention for
chilly to the great strides that have
been made In developing speed in air
craft.
Records show that at the outbreak
OF the war the highest type Of de-
pendaLle aeroplane could seldom de-
veIop an Sverage Of more than fifty
miles an hour.
Now the fastest large war planes
go at the rate of 100 miles an hour,
or a mile every half minute. And
this rate Of speed Is sustained
throughout long flights.
Not only has great progress been
made in the matter Of speed. At the
outbreak Of the war . fast fight with
a passenger was thought quite re-
markable. Now these fastest of
fights are made with a ton or more
Of cargo, whether Of passengers or Of
dead weight.
In August, 1914. the standard
army machine Of great Britain might
have reached speed Of So miles an
hour. Only q year later the standard
British machine had mounted 100
Horsepower engine. Bat the aero
plane with this equipment was 30
heavy that only q slight gain was
made in speed. In May Of the fol-

Every Man Knows How. (Manchester Hera1dN

Did 1t ever occur to you how many persons you meet in a days journey who after reading a newspaper, start to knock 1t and start off with a speech which Atarts: Now, if was running fhis paper 1'd-------." Every cobbler. stone mason, boot black, far- mer plasterer or laborer knows just exactly how to edit a newspaper. It's strange but true. A man if asked if he can shave man says no but he will not follow up this statement by walking into a barber shop and tell ing the barber how he should cut hair or shave q man. But it's different when talking about a newspaper. Any body can edit a newspaper. Whether or not the man can write a simple sentence has nothing to do with the subject whatsoever. If you tell him 1t, takes young High school grad uato four years to so through a school of journaltsm and then after his four years h4 ts only considered "cub" on a daily newspaper, they will be surprised. Ind when you add that even then tha.man may be only an ordinary reporter unless he has that mysterious something called "nose for news that no education on earth can develop, the ordinary person will peraist that no training is necessary. All you have to do Is to have a print ing press and some type settlers and somehow or other, they can't just tell how, the newspaper will make it's way to the street at the end of the working day.

In Army in a Year
General Inspects Machines at

Major General Leonard Wood yester-
day asserted that 20 raise our air de-
fence to the proper standard 900 army
aviators should be in training in six
months and $500 in year There are
now about two dozen sviators in the
United States Army. Fifty National
Guardsmen and thirty naval militismen
are licensed pilots.
General Wood advocated an imme-
date and thoroughgoing reorganiza-

chase Of fleet Of the most modern
military planes and the institution Of a
system of flying instruction FOR Amer

d.. & w. Embargo on
N. Y. Freight Bound
West of Buffalo
Congestion on Connecting Lines
Given as Reason for Stop
ping Shipments

The Lackawanna Railroad announced
Yesterday an embargo on all westbound
freight shipments from New York and
other points east of Buffalo. The en-
barge notice, issued by Nice-Presldent
p. !. Flynn. was as follows:
effective at midnight tonight and
until further notice, the Lsckawanna
Railroad has enlarged all westbound
freight shipments from New YORK and
other points or its lines destined 10
points west of Buffalo, owing to the
inability of the roads leading west
from Buffalo TO handle freight de!iv-
cred to them at that point, through
congestion on those roads resulting
from heavy traffic and adverse weather
conditions.
This action On the part OF the Lack
awanua Railroad is necessary 10 keep
its terminals oIen at Buffalo Tor the
acceptance Of eastbound shipments,
against which il has no embargo. rms
embargo is also required for the eNpe--
ditious movement of its passenger, mai
and express trains. Just as soon as
the conditions on lines leading west
from Buffalo admit OF their acceptance
of freight from this company, the en-
barge will be lifted and gradually nor
NAL movement restored"
Diepatches from Washington told of
the temporary refusal Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission 10 reduce the
free time allowance on domestic
freight held in cars al Jersey City ana
other New Jersey points for hnal de-
livery. from FIVE 70 two days. A plea
at this change be allowed was made
by the railroads as a means OF SOWING
the freight congestion problems IN the
New jersey terminals.

Only Approved Cession

land except that needed for military
emergency. lie said that on Friday ne

had not acted quickly enough.
The Mayor denied that Senator Key

cent the Southern Pacific Railroad. had
anv interest in the lands in question.
Senator Reynolds has no interest IN
any purchases of land by the City Of
New York" he said, "save Dreamland
and an interest in a part OF the tract
taken for the terminal yard of the pro-
posed marginal railroad in Brooklyn,

the charges that the Mills bill was a

repudiated the suggestion that ex-Sens-
tor Reynolds, or any other person, had
any interest in the lands in question.
The Commissioner explained that the
bill was designed TO include lands un-
der water in Jamaica Bay, as well as
those at Rockaway Point, needed by
the government. The city wanted power
TO negotiate for these lands, so as TO
carry out the proposed Jamaica Bay
marginal improvements. He said the
bill could have been made more specific.
as probably will be done. but that the
city officials thought at the time il was
best 20 include all the lands the city
needed for its proposed marginal inn
provements.
