AtrbIdnes Not

Behind the British Lines in France,
Sept. 0.-(Correspondence Of The
Associated Press. 1.-The absolutely
fool-proof airplane has not yet been
invented but in the opinion of Am
erican pilots who are working in a
British airdrome, the newest British
machines have very nearly solved
the problem.
Left to themselves these latest
type Of heavier than air machines
will make their way safely to earth,
except for slight damages which may
follow a landing. The machines are
So balanced and the wings SO ar
ranged that when the engine stops
they glide gradually and easily to
earth.
The following test, shows how sta
Bile these airplanes are: A pilot
climbed to a sufficient height, and
then stopped his engine and took
his hands off the controls. merely
keeping his feet on the rudder bar
He steered for an aerodrome 20
miles away and except for keeping
her straight he let the airplane do
what she liked. She travelled the
whole 20 miles as steady as a bicycle
coasting down a long, straight and
gentle hill. OF course, the pilot had
to take hold Of the control stick to
land the machine In the airdrome,
but except for that, and the steering,
the airplane made the whole jour
ney by herself.

I saw, a few miles from the Zeebrue-

seemed stationary on the grey sea.
They were German destroyers

Near the destroyers appeared the

FREE PORT
FOR NEUfRALS
(Ry Associated Press.l

Washington, Oct. "a project
to provide an independent Atlantic
port for Switzerland. Bohemia and
other inland European nations, in orr
der to render them economically in
dependent of Germany after the
war, is receiving "a great deal of att
tention In France and Switzerland,
according to a report to the depart
ment Of commerce from Consul Gen
eral g. Bic RavndaL at Nantes,
France. ss.~.
This project, the consul states, has
aroused much interest at Nantes,
whose municipal authorities are con-
ferring with commercial interests
in Switzerland with a view to COM
bined action. The business men OF
Lyon also are said to be watching
the movement with deep interest al
though they have not yet Joined 1t.
The general idea seems to be to con-
struct suitable rail connections be-
tween the inland production centers
and one Of the Loire ports-Nantes,
st. Nazaire, La Rochelle or Bor-
deau. It also is considered possible
that the project may be forwarded
by the construction Of canals linking
up the Rhine and Phone rivers with
tho navigable lake system Of Swift
zerland.
Certain existing railroads are
available to form the back bone of
such construction. Port facilities all
ready have been developed at several
of the ports because of war demands
and railroad yards and warehouses
ample for the beginnings Of such
project are available at both Nantes
and st. Eazaire.
1t is thought that after the war
the American passenger and freight
traffic with Central Europe as we'll
as with France will tend toward the
Loire ports in preference to the.
more distant Channel and North Sea
ports, which, owing to their loca-
ton and to meteorological condi-
t&o1As, 6sproportionately increase
the cost of navigation and insurance.

in the allied armies are utilized not
so much for the purpose of discover
ing possible enemy targets but for
the very important task Of directing
artillery fire so that the targets may
be destroyed.
The lot of the balloon observer
may be considered on a par with
that Of the observation aviator. ex-
cept that while the aviator's risks
are compensated by the excitement
Of flying. the balloon observer ex-

the balloon observer when he en-
joys a thrill not found perhaps in
aviation, and that is when, his bal
