marines.

Washington, March 13.-America's
first fighting seaplane equipped with
Liberty motors has been tried out and
accepted, it was learned tonight, and
q number Of the craft are now being
delivered for the use of the naval air
service. They are the advance guard
of a 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 ;E1 a considera BILE
number will become available during
the present months. Still anOther
type, a two-seated machine, also is
being manufactured.
Construction details of these planes
have never been published. It il;
known, however, that the seaplancs
are substantially similar to the Brit
lsh flying boats and are equipped with
two Liberty motors which provide.
approximately 700 horse power. This
is understood to be much in excess OF
the power used in similar British
craft and their performance is expect
ed to be proportionately better. III
this connection it was learned that
engineers of the aircraft board have
overcome the last minor defects of the
Liberty motors. haying to do with the
fabrication system.
Officials in close touch with pro
gress on production OF fighting planes
in this country are still satisfied tha,
the output will tax shipping facilities
before July, when delivery in quap
titles in France has been scheduled
Already the problem of caring for the
planes on the other side is one to
which General Pershing's staff is Civ
ing serious thought.
Ihose produced in the Unite'l
States are in addition to the fightin;,
aviation equipment to be provided un-
der contracts through the French and
British governments. There are in
dications that these foreign contracts
also are not up to the original sched-
ule Of delivery.

Meanwhile American engineers nre
deVoting themselves to study of the
motor to be used next year, which
undoubtedly will show a very con-
siderable increase in horse power
over the present II cylinder model.
There is now time for a very careful
study of the various types of motors,
both of foreign and domestic design,
and decision as to the machine to be
made the standard for 1919 will not
be necessary before July.
More powerful motors will be
needed for machines to carry slch an
armament as General Pershing has
proposed. In response to an inquiry
some time ago as to the gun powe.
of American fighting planes, General
Pershing recommends at least two
heavy and two light machine guns
adding:

three Vickers synchronized guns and
three Lewis unsynchronized guns Oh

held up in the house today with the
filing Of an adverse minority report by
members Of the military committee
and by the statement of Chairman
Dent that the measure would not be

This will delay the second draft, as
Provost Marshal General Crowder has

At the time the minority report was
filed General Crowder was before the
senate military committee urging
speedy consideration of the measure

The cannery tender "Adelphus, ' one of the large power boats belong ing to the A. P & N. Co.,, went ashore on Point Hilda at o'clock this morning, according to the report of fishermen who arrived in port this forenoon.
 The fishermen state that they were within, a few hundred feet of the cannery tender which was towing a big scow and that when the boat struck the bad reef which extends out from Point Hilda, on Douglas Island, the bow of the big launch was lifted clear above water and that the keel of the entire bottom could be seen. She afterwards settled and lay over on her side.
 Fortunately the tide was coming in and the crew of the boat hoped to be able to float her in case no serious damage was done to the bot. tom.
 The Weather Bros, of the gas boat Home" offered to take the scOw in charge and lend any assistance possible, but the crew of the Adel. phus refused any aid, stating that if they could only get off on high tide.
