weeks ago news dispatches from the west

aerial tank by GERMANY. The Caproni
tank airplane had flown long before that
announcement.

Gently completed in Italy carried more

other effort along similar lines that ap-

This leviathan Of the air has an ap-
proximate wing spread Of 1856 feet from
tip to tip, is about IS feet long and 81
feet high, is armed with seven guns and
develops 2,100 horsepower with three
motors.
This machine, Of course, can carry an
enormous freight of high explosives and
drop them behind the enemy lines, and
Italy would bnild many of them if she
could. At present only one Of these bat

structeG Italy cannot spare more raw
material for the construction Of others.
But Italy is depending on the United
States for that raw material, and believes
that she will get il.
Caproni is no self-advertiser. In this
he resembles his countrymen. When some
thing has had to be done in a military
way Italian military chiefs have done it
without talking. When it was necessary
for new and vital things TO be done in the
air over the Italian front Caproni has
done them. The words of young Ital-
ian officer when asked why it was that
Italy was not letting the world know what
she was doing sum the situation up well.
'Italy does not want to talk" lie said.
"She wants to fight and to do"
And if the past performance of Gianni
Caproni means anything, the statement by
his representative in this country that the
continent to continent flight will be made
may be accepted at face value.

Sailor Drives a Motor Car

wi sau street appeared touring car
whose driver was a sailor of Uncle Sans
navy, while beside him on the front seat
sat in uniform of white a young naval
officer.
A. first it seemed little curious to see
a sailor running motor car, because the
common idea of sailors is that they spend
their lives on ships on the water, not
ashore. But then this sailors manipula-
ton of the steering wheel seemed some
how familiar and then you reflected that
the sailor man is quite at home handling
steering wheels on steam launches and
motor boats.
If You should see a sailor driving
horse and wagon down Nassau street,

it was quite all right for sailor to be

the airplane and was frequently eonsid-
cred quite mad when he talked of time and
distance annihilating machines capable of
carrying as many as ten and twenty men.
Bat the sceptieism of the earlier tiiers,
and many of them were painfully frank
in their Characterization of Capronis
dream, did little to crush the spirit of the
man who has since become the producer
of heavier-than- machines which are
larger and can do more than those he pic
tured in his own mind in the earlier days.
When he had drawn a great mass Of
opinions, practical experiences and beliefs
from the earlier birdmen of Europe he
returned to the Trentino, where be spent
some time digesting them.
Finally Caproni was ready to build his
first machine. He enlisted the aid of or
binary Italian carpenters, and in small
shed not far from Arco began the con-
struction of machine. 1t grew under his
direction, but it did not grow as fast as
the suspicious of the Austrian police au
thorities.
Caproni was watched and hindered in
every possible manner. The police did
not limit their aggression TO the inventor,
but extended it to his brother.
This, of course, could not continue, and
Caproni again packed up his belongings,
again received the parental blessing and
crossed the Austro-Italian frontier. He
went to Milan, Italy. and applied to the
military authorities there for permission
to erect hangar and experimental labor
atories on the cavalry exercise field near
Somma Lombardo.
Has Designed Nineteen Good Types.
Here at last he was given the oppor-
tunity to build and test his first airplane,
and it is to the credit of Caproni that this
first machine was rolled from the hangar
and flew on its first trial. Others were
turned out and still Others, and to date
nineteen types have been designed and
built by this man, and in each instance
have flown as soon as finished.
The worth of these Caproni machines is
proved by their adoption as standard
bombing planes by the French Govern
ment, the letting of contracts to the Cap
ronis by the United States Government
and the purchase of several of the big tri-
planes by the British Government.
Since the outbreak of the world war
Caproni airplanes have taken all of the
aviation records in Italy and have
smashed many of the international fig
ures. The inventor has not confined his
activities to any one type, but has diversi
fed his output. 1t is no uncommon sight

winged monoplane roll out of hangar

lived the greater part of their lives in the
mountain hamlet of Masone, which num-
bered about 500 souls, under the yoke OF
Austrian rule.
Despite the fact that they were forced
to bow TO Che will of the Hapsburg Gov
eminent, they remained Italians at heart
and instilled the love of the mother coun-
try into their younger son. who is now
serving Italy SO well. The home ties Of
the Caproni family held them under the
despotism Of hated ruler, and they lived
and dreamed of day Of repatriation.
II was in this atmosphere that young
Caproni received his early training. His
elementary schooling was acquired in the
small and isolated institutions of the
Trentino. Even in these schools the boys
love for mathematics was indicated and
appreciated, and when he had finished the
courses presented his aged father and
mother packed his few belongings, be-
slowed upon him their blessings and sent
him north away from the Trentino to the
engineering college at Munich, Bavaria.
Was Graduated When of Age.
On his twenty first birthday he was
graduated from that institution with the
degree of civil engineer. 1t was about this
time that the Wright brothers began to
demonstrate to sceptical world that man
could fly in heavier-tban- air machine.
Their successes 50 fired the young Ital-
ian engineer with the dream of becoming
creator that he decided upon aviation
as his life work. Despite his racial i'm
petuosity, he realized that theoretical
groundwork would be necessary, and in
stead of joining the ranks of the exhibit
ton filters who Immediately sprang up In
Europe he continued the business of pry-
ing truths from text books.
1t was hard pull, for the expense of
higher education along proper lines was
far from small and the sums offered for
exhibition flights were large. But young
Caproni stuck it out, and travelling still
further north and away from the Tren-
tino, lie went to Liege and entered the
Miraiori Institute in that city.
He applied himself to the more difficult
courses in its curriculum, among them be-
ing that Of electro-technics. This he mas
tered, and Immediately broadened the
scope Of his pilgrimage for knowledge to
include Paris and the flying fields of the
Continent
He was always an irrepressible enthusi-
asst on the future possibilities of the air
plane, but usually tempered his advanced
and, what in those days were radical
views, with solid facts CLEANED from his
long preparation.
In the earlier days of the French
demonstration flying the young man from
the Trenlino spent a great deal of his
time talking with the men who were max
ing exhibition flights and improving on
the theories of the Wright brothers. He
was always ready to discuss the future Of

r IEUT. LEOPOLD BELLONI of the
l. Royal Italian Flying Corps, now IN
this country, says positively that the
Transatlantic airplane flight will be made
While he does not set definite time for
the start, he says that the best season
would be in August or September, and
that a Caproni airplane will turn the
trick
This western ocean flight has been
talked of and dreamed Of for many years.
Three things are essential for it. They are
faith, skill and organization. With these
Lieut. Belloni believes success is sure.
Italy has the faith, she has the skill in the
trained aviators of her army but she does
not possess the organization.
He believes that this is at hand in
America and that Italy and the Capronis
would desire nothing more than that the
United States should furnish the organiza-
ton and share in the laurels which will
fall to those who first fly over the Atlantic.
At the same time the Lieutenant admits
that America is we'll supplied with skill,
TOO. As he puts it:
"The flying youth of Italy and America
would be proud to make the flight
The organization, he says, should con-
sist of ships stationed at intervals along
the line of flight to wireless the course to
the pilots Of the transatlantic machine and
for precautionary measures. Other work
necessary would be the gathering together
of weather reports and data vital to the
men who will rise in the air in one heni-
sphere and land in another.
As to the type of airplane for the trip,
Lieut.. Belloni favors a regulation Italian
army Caproni. He has no preference for
a triplane over biplane, but he does be-
ieve that the machine should be speedy
and should carry a small crew, instead OF
a heavy and slower air cruiser capable OF
carrying several men.
Would Like Liberty Motors.
For engines he says emphatically that
there is nothing that would suit the Cap
roni brothers better than that plane of
their making equipped with Liberty mo-
tors should make the attempt, guided by
an Italian American crew.
"Caproni would have it So said Lieut..
Belloni. "He loves America. He pat
termed himself after your famous Wright
brothers and know that there is nothing
would give him greater pleasure than to
have America share in the honors of an
ocean flight"
Had Gianni Caproni, father of Italy's
huge bombing and fighting machines,
which have given a good account Of them
selves on the Italian and French fronts,
been asked if the flight across the sea were
probable this year it is safe TO say that he
would have replied: ave will do it."
Caproni, who is just 81, was born in
the Trentino, of Italian parents who had

"The Hidden Scar" Coming to the Palace

No one ever passes through life scarless, and usually when the twi- light of life dawns upon us, we look upon our scars as medals, won in the battle of Life.
 Sometimes as we journey on, con- ditions for which we are not always responsible, mark us, so to speak, with scars that we would hide from our friends. Some call it Fate, oth- CTS call it Destiny, while the big, broad-shouldered man or the level headed little woman, call it lmag- ination. Again, there are few who look upon these scars with feel ing of horror. These few may be in the minority, but the power of their opinions often makes a mountain of a molehill.
