Good Progress Made at Govern

New York.-At the big government
aviation field on Hampstead Plains
good progress is being made in train
ing fliers and working out tactical
problems. The biggest thing yet at
tempted was a flight by % airplanes,
the largest number ever to take the
air this side of the Atlantic. They
went in search of theoretical enemy.
Some of the machines were manned
by regular army officers and others
by civilians under training. An en-
envy regiment-sO dispatches" had
repOrted-was encamped in the vicin-
ity. The problem was. to find their
trenches, such Of their forces as were
on the march, their motor transports,
and their artillery.
The fliers took the air at three
o'clock, and within an hour and 25
minutes all of the information
was in the hands of the officers
at headquarters on the aviation field.
Pleased With the Test.
Most of the airplanes had returned
within 40 minutes, but the squad as
signede to locating the motor truck
did not accomplish its mission until
the truck was within three miles Of
the field.
The army officers and the flying in
structors were much pleased with the
test, which was made without any
mishaps and according to schedule.
The % planes took the air I'm squads,
to each one of which had been assigned
a special mission. They assembled to
heights varying from 5000 to 5000
feet, except the squad which had been
ordered to detect the artillery fire Of
the enemy, which flew at about 1000
feet.
A trench about 100 feet long had
been dug about three miles from the
camp. Near it was an imaginary regi-
ment represented by strips Of white
cloth. The motor truck which started
from Far Rockaway represented a sup
ply train, and was COVERED with. black
and white stripes. Smoke bombs
were sent up to represent artillery
fire.
In each machine were an observer
and pilot. They took with them
maps of the country, sketching pads
and cameras. Capt. ]. w. Butts Of
the First Signal corps, operated a
camera by revolving propeller.
which permitted the taking of several
hundred photographs within short
period.
Do Their Work Well.
The artillery fire was located first.
and soon afterward second squad
returned with news of the position of
the imaginary regiment. The trench
also was found within a comparatively
short period. The motor In the mean
time had been continuing its run to
MineOla. meeting on the Long Island
parkway number of other machines.
from which at great height 1t was
hard to distinguish 1t. 1t had arrived
ut Hampstead village before the avia-
tors discovered it.
The airplanes maintained suuad
formation during their entire flight. AT
signals from the officers In command
of the different groups, they executed
different scouting formations.

To Build Nitrate Plant.

Congress has appropriated S2O,OOO,-
600 to build nitrate plant. The sole
source of these salts today is Chilli.
The council of national defense will
undertake the study which is intended
to make the United States government
independent in the matter of produc-
ton of this absolutely essential ele-
ment of proper preparedness for de-
Tense.
All kinds of industrial problems are
being studied by the members of the
council The attempt is to get thor
ough knowledge of all the facilities
of the United States for comprehensive
industrial work, so that preparedness
along these lines may keep pace with
actual military preparedness. Indus
trial organizations all over the United
States have made offers of assistance
to the government.
President Wilson not long ago
summed up the duties of the council
and the advisory commission in
words which put the case succinctly
1.-The council of national defense
has been created because congress has
realized that the country is best pre-
pared for war when thoroughly pre-
pared for peace. From an economic
point of view there is now very little
difference between the machinery re-
auired for commercial efficiency and
that required for military purposes
In both cases the whole industrial
mechanism must be organized In the
most effective way. Upon this concep-
! ton of the national welfare the cOun-
Gil is organized in the words Of the act
for "the creation Of relations which
will render possible in time of need
the immediate concentration and utili.
cation Of the resources of the nation

$1,000 in currency to bet on q horse

Splitter rushed for police station.
When the Oakland police announc-

as evidence, Splitter let out a wall of
anguish. No arrests were made and
the $1,000 was put in the city treasury
Of Oakland.
