NEW YORK, April Announce
ment was made at the Aero Club last |
night that the American record for
cro~s-country flying with two men was
broken yesterday by Major George
Tulasne, chief of the French aviation
mission to the United States, and
French Ace, who flew to Washing

York for dinner The fiers started
from the Mineola field at clock yes
terday morning and they landed back
on the field at o clock last night.
1t was the first air round trip be
tween Mneola and Washington and the
longest distance covered in the United
States in one day by two men in one
machine. The machine made more than
800 miles. The French birdmen made
the flight in q BregIet bombing biplanc

Renault motor.
Before making their start they cir

j. s. AIR PLANES
ARE GOING OVER
AMERICAN BUILT AIRCRAFT ARE
NOW BEING SHIPPED TO EU-
ROPE-TH THOUSANDS ARE YET TO
BE MADE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The hrst
American built battle planes are en-
route to France, nearly five months
ahead of the original schedule In
making this announcement Secretary
Baker said that the first shipment, al
though not large, marks the final
overcoming of many difficulties met
in building UP this new and intricate
industry"
These planes" Mr. Baker said, ARE
equipped with the first Liberty motors
from machine productions. One of
them in a recent test surpassed all
records for speed and climbing for
planes Of that type. Engine produc-
ton, which began a month ago, is now
on a quantity basis and the peak of
production will be reached in few
weeks. Only the 12-cylinder type Is
being made, as developments Sabroad
have made it wise to concentrate on
the highpowered engine instead of
the eight cylinder"
Optimistic as these statements APP
pear the secretary said they should
not be exaggerated and should be con-
sidered in the light of these facts:
That after three years of warfare
tie total number of planes able to
take the air at any one time on either
side of the western front has not been
more than $500.
That forty-six men are required on
the ground for every plane in the air
making total of $4,000 men neeedd
for the present maximum of $500
planes.
That for every machine in the air
there must be two replacement planes
On the ground and one training plane
for every pilot who eventually reach
es the front, with a. spare engine for
each plane After reviewing the many
obstacles that had to be overcome In
getting the aircraft production pro-
gram under way Mr.. Baker said the
great problem now remaining is to
secure the thousands of skilled me-
chanics, enginemen, motor repair men
and wood and metal workers, etc,
reeded to keep the planes in perfect
condition, without which the machines
turned out would be useless and the
flyers helpless"
"At best" said the secretry, 1.-THE
life of the plane is but two months,
and the engine must be overhauled
after seventy-five hours, while a pilot
on a plane allowed to leave the hang
ars in imperfect condition is as help
less as a bird with broken wing.
Now that American battle planes
are going over seas, a great increase
in the volunteering of skilled mechan-
les is both essential and expected
During the past months, Mr.. Baker
said. a responsive channel of commu
nication with the allies has been open
ed. the latest types of foreign ma
chimes have been adapted to American
manufacture, the industry increased
at leafs twenty fold, the training plane
problem solved, and the production of
battle planes begun.
American battle planes were not
due in France under the original plan
until July.

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tion's War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
tho United States Averted q
Famine at Homo In spite
OF Low Supplies.

The fact that tho people OF the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions Of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach it's height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tributlon and in September only 270,-
600 tons. In October tho distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions Of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of a sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
it. would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be q mere lux
nry in the American diet.
Few accomplishments Of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-.
dominantly as this reduced consump.
tion Of sugar. BY 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period Of strIngency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation is in n position so
that If we choose we may return to
our normal home use Of sugar, and
Europe, with the release OF ships to 20
far afield, can maintain It's recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use Of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

Meat PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY.
Increase in American Hogs win
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage. y,
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
OF Pork Productton-Sevenf
Increase Over Pre-.
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we Will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
| average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added In car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department Of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day In our every action Of stimulation
Of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be TN
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
Of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part of
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be shortage in HUI
rope, due largely to limited refrigera.
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products Is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the U. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture indicate an
increase In cattle Of 1O,238,OOO head
and 12,441 900 hogs. These figures
were complied to January last.
In this period there was decrease
in sheep Of $4,000 head. The indica-
tlons are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January l unofficial informa-
tion indicates an increase in hogs Of
not less than 8 per cent and not
more than IS per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request Of the U. 8.
Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing In the
fall Of 1918 and the spring OF 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,60O,-
100000 pounds more Of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to O3,172,OOO pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1913 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, $4,000, an increase Of over 374,.
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records Of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1,2G3,O00,OOO
pounds as against ,454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September 1, this year.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light Of succeeding events 1t
Is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July Of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
"Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in n public statement, "no
American who has knowledge Of the
results already obtained in every d.
rection need have one atom Of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"
