FIRST SEAPLANES
GO INTO SERVICE
Government Accepts Initial Lot
of Proposed Big Fleet
of Aircraft.
HAVE TWO LIBERTY MOTORS
Each Plane Will Develop Approximate
ly 700 orsepower-Quantity
Delivery by July.

Washington, March 14.-America'
first fighting seaplane, equipped with
Liberty motors, has been tried out and
accepted, it was learned tonight, and
number of the craft now are being
delivered for use of the naval air ser
vice They are the advance guard OF
o big fleet which will be added to the
forces engaged in submarine hunting
IN the war zone.
A second type of fighting plane for
the American army, known as the
Bristol model, also has reached the
production stage, and a considerable
number will become available this
month. Still another type, a 2-seated
machine, also is being manufactured.
Construction details of these planes
never have been published. 1t is
known, however, that the seapla2es
are substantially similar to British 1iy-
ing boats, and are equipped with two
Liberty motors which provide approx
mately 700 horsepower to drive the
ship. This is understood to be much
in excess Of power used in similar
British craft, and their performance
is expected to be proportionately bet
ter.
Liberty Motor Is Perfected.
In this connection it was learned
that engineers of the aircraft board
now have overcome the last minor
defect of the Liberty motor. having
to do with the lubricating system. A
number of motors taken haphazard
from the quantity production supply
have been operated continuously for
many hours without any trouble de-
veIoping.
Officials in close touch with the
progress being made on production of
fighting planes in this country are
still satisfied that the output will tax
shipping facilities before July, when
delivery in quantities in France has
been scheduled. Already problem
OfLcaring for the planes on the other
side is one to which General Per
shing's staff is giving serious thought.

Il. Cor. SD
| Theologians. Bible scholars general
| ly, and ethnologists as well, admit
the absence of all record both in the
Bible and in profane history concern
ing the origin of sacrifice. The writer
OF the article Sacrifice" in one of our
Bible dictionaries (Casselps), which
article IS in line with other learned
commentaries, says, following an ar
ray Of facts: 'On these and other ac-
counts 1t has been judiciousIy in
ferred that sacrifice formed an ele-
ment in the primeYal worship Of
man; and that its universality is not
| merely an indirect argument for the
unity Of the human race. but an illus
! tration and confirmation of the first
inspired pages of the worlds history.
The notion OF sacrifice can hardly be
! viewed as a product of unassisted
human nature, and must therefore be
traced 10 a higher source and viewed
as Divine revelation to primitive
man"
! That DIVINE REVELATION TO
| PRIMITIVE NAN is now before
the world; and the much talked of
historical difficulty as to the origin
| OF sacrificial rites is definitely solv-
| ed by revelation from God to man in
the current age, whereby parts. of
the ancient Scriptures not contain
ed in the Bible have been restored
to human knowledge. As the natur-
al and inevitable consequence of his
transgression Adam forfeited the
high privilege of holding direct and
personal association with God. In
his fallen state the man was COM
manded by the voice of the Lord to
oner in sacrifice the firstlings of his
