with which may develop enough to war rant search in that direction.
 New gasoline motors for lighter-than- air craft have been worked out and re- ceived their first test on the flight of the dirigible C-5 from Montauk Point Long Island, to St. Johns, Newfound- iand. So well did they function that di- cision had been made to attempt at direct flight to Ireland with the C-5 be- fore the ship was blown to sea and wrecked. Another attempt to cross the Atlantic will be made as soon as similar engines can be installed in another air. craft of the "C" type.
 Extensive tests with dirigibles driven by the motors previously employed for this service are said to have demon- strated that the big gasbags could not carry enough fuel to insure safe passage across the Atlantic. A Pacific coast con- cern then turned out the engines which went into the C-5 after they had been tested at the navy yard gear in a 275- hour continuous run, which gave re- markable results in fuel economy. De- tails of engine construction and perform ance have not been disclosed, but it is understood that on the 26-hour contin- uous flight of the C-5 from Montauk Point to St. Johns, the motors did bet ter than was expected

Flying Ships WiHBeNexf Stage in Ouerseas Flying
Lessons From Azores Flight Have Proved That Larger Vessels Must Be Built and Their Wings Must Be
 Higher From the Water

Washington, June 4.-F'lying ships in- stead of flying boats will be the logical evolution of navy seaplanes, navy ex- perts believe, as a result of the first air trip across the Atlantic. First impress sions of the lessons taught by that trip had already taken definite shape in the minds of the men who conceived and created the NC machines before Lieut.. Commander A. C. Read had unanswered the NC-4 to a safe mooring at Plymouth, England.
 Strangely enough. it was to the exper- fence of the NC-1 lost off the Azores, and the NC-3, battered out of usefulness by heavy seas before she made port at Ponta Delgada, that the inventive gen. jus of the department turned for inspir- ation not to the NC-4 that battled her way triumphantly through the historic journey.
 As far as they have yet gone, and lack ing detailed reports and comments from the r men who set out from Rockaway on the great adventure, the experts ap parently have reached certain definite preliminary conclusions to guide them in future seaplane designing They are con vinced that to play it's full part in naval strategy the seaplane must become as independent a unit as a modern subma- rine or destroyer. It must be able to keep the seas in heavy weather, riding it out on the surface. It must be able to lift itself into air or to plane down to safe landing even when tall seas are running, and it must provide for its crew safety, shelter and reasonable comfort under very adverse circum-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-06-15

stances for the efficiency of the plane depends upon the efficiency of the men.
 Also. to fulfill it's function as scout, this plane of the future must be able to communicate at all times by radio. When the NC-3 was forced down west of the Azores with Commander John H. Tow CTS, flight commander aboard. she be- came dumb As a scouting unit her value to fleet was lost from that moment. Whatever her commander might have learned of vital impol tance to the fleet commander could not have been trans mitted.
 The answer to all of these requirements in the minds of the experts spells larger craft veritable flying ships. The vision toward which the designers are looking is that of flotillas of seaplanes, relying wholly upon their own power for trans portaton on the surface or in the air and operating from swift mother ships as submarines and destroyers now operate.
 These conclusions will be written into new designs gradually. As battleships have developed from Il ,000-ton predread- naughts to the 43,000-ton monsters for which the navy is now contracting. so naval officers say, seaplane evolution will come type by type and year by year, each advance being based on results ob- tained with preceding types. This is the programme laid out by the navy depart ment as the basis for the request re- gently made to Congress by Secretary Daniels for s45, 00O, 900 for aviation devel opment in the next fiscal year
 Part of this appropriation, if granted, will go into lighter -than-air development. The general board is expected to recom- mend immediate purchase of a British

Among the Giant Seauoias

From Mountaineering in the Sierra Ne vada," by LeRoy Jeffers, in Scribners.
 The Kern river canyon extends from north to south and draws it's water from the highest summits of the Sierra Neva- da. Frequently the Sierra club has wis., ited it by way of Springville, Nelson S and the trail to Little Kern lake. On this route are many remarkably fine in- dividual sequoias which gladden. the heart of the traveller. On one occasion joined the Sierra club in the canyon, journeying by way of Leman cove and the Middle Fork of the Kaweah to the base of Moro Rock. After viewing the Indian picto- graphs 1 ascended the steep trail to the Giant forest, finest of all the groves i'll the Sequoia National park and comprising the most wonderful trees.that are known to man. The sequoia selects the clear mountain air of coco to 1000 feet in which to live for thousands of years, and here reaches it's greatest develoS1ent in trees that are nearly 300 feet in hUght and from 30 to 36 feet in diameter. In the Giant forest are 500,0O0 trees, over 5000 of which exceed 10 feet in diameter Here and there a lofty tree has grown over the trunk of lofty sequoia whose wood re- mains undecayed. Beneath ones feet the centuries have laid rich brown carpet embroidered with ferns and with mosses. Even the birds respond to the silence ot this mighty forest, and the sunbeams fll- ter softly through it's shady aisles. while
 into the soul of the weary traveller se- quoia breathes the spirit of peace.

ATHLETICS ON BIG SCALE WITH ARMY
 AFTER ARNISTICE
Soldiers Enter Heartily Into Every Kind of Athletic Game Known in
 America.

Headquarters s. o. S., A. E. F., France, May 25-( -(Special)-T truth of the old adage that men, after all, are only grown-up boys," was well proved when, following the signing of the armistice. the fighting men of the American expeditionary force gleefully jumped from fray to play and made of all the territory covered by the A. E. F., a vast playground.
 One of the most striking character istics of American men is their love for sports. A high army officer has said, Give our men chance at ath- letics and theyll take care of their own health and morale" Recognizing this dominating trait in the men of their command, the officers of the A. E. F. gave the men a chance at athletics, and they not only gave them this chance but they promoted and encouraged sports making games of all kinds a part of the daily training schedule. Soon after the end of hostilities, when the army was relieved of the strain of war, the territory occupied by our troops in France became the great est center of sports in the world, near ly two million men enthusiastically en- gazing in the biggest athletic pro- gramme that was ever framed.
 Throughout the army, athletic events were made a part of the daily routine. Teams of all sorts were organized and trained individual athletes were coacn- ed, schedules of contests were ar ranged, and the whole fighting Ameri- can army leaped into a new, keen struggle-a struggle for athletic su- premacy. The great postwar athletic programme launched in our army last November was of immense value in building up and sustaining the health and morale of our troops, keeping them physically and mentally fit for en- trance into the industrial struggle of civil life after their return to Amer ica.
 The greater share of the athletic activities of the A. F. F. from Novem- Der to June were centered in the s. O. s. which, embraced nearly all the ter ritory covered by our army.
 An athletic bureau was established at Tours. This bureau directed the policy and supervised the carrying out of the entire athletic programme throughout the S. o. S. Howard R. Huston, first lieutenant of infantry. who had been wounded in the Mouse -Argonne fight ing was assigned to Tours, after be- ing released from a hospital and he was placed in charge of the atheltic bureau. Assisting him was J. L. Clark of the Y. M. c. A, an athletic director who is well known in the United States Clark's task was to help correlate the work of the army and the Y. M. c. A in promoting and conducting athletic activities. In each unit of tre forces in the s. O. s. an officer was appointed to direct sports. These athletic officers numbered approximately 25oo, and they

rigid dirigible for personnel training and the construction of similar vessel on American designs as pilot ship of fleet of air cruisers. The purchase of the British Zeppelin" would permit the training of a crew to handle the first American craft when completed.
 The navy department is said to be ready to proceed with Zeppelin construc- ton on it's own plans whenever Con gress grants authority and appropria- tions. The ship, it is understood, would not be patterned exactly on the British notifications of German Zeppelin con- struction The discovery of non-com- bustible helium gas to initiate the bags is said to have pointed the way to some radical changes in design. Details of what is contemplated, however, have not been disclosed.
 Naval experts point. out that in both seaplane and dirigible development one of the most important elements to be considered is that of getting efficient power. The Liberty motors have proved highly satisfactory so far as endurance goes on the transatlantic flight. but no means have yet been evolved to get full benefit of their power The problem is the same as that encountered with steam turbines in surface craft. The efficient engine speed of any gasoline motor now known is too high for efficient propeller speed. Connected direct to the engine shafts, the propellers revolve so rapidly that the length and pitch of the blades cannot be set so as to obtain all of the lifting power the engine could furnish.
 The navy has been working for-months with reduction gear system to go be- tween the engine and the propeller. A similar device has permitted destroyers to use turbine engines, but it has found a difficult task to design a lightweight reduction gear for seaplanes or other air craft. Should this device be worked out, the NC seaplanes could be made much more efficient and their cruising radius be greatly increased.
 As to the sea-keeping qualities of the NC planes, the experience of the NC-1 and NC-3 indicate to experts that some way must be found to get the plane sur- faces higher out of water. This would save them from battering int othe sea when riding the surface. A monoplane type flying boat is being experimented

Redrawing the Maps of Turkey

From The Near East in Liquidation, 9
 by E. G. Tabet. in Asia" Magazine
 Turkey, properly speaking, that ter rtory where the Turks form a compact majority or are the most numerous of a single race, is that section of Asia Minor known as Anatolia, and also, but in q much less degree, Constantinople and that part of Thrace east of the Enos-Midia line. Anatolia consists of the following vilayets: Bigha, Brusa, Aidin (Smyrna), ], Ismid, Kastamouni Angora Konia with Trebizond and Sivas claimed both by the Turks and Greater Armenia. Trebizond has a large Greek population and Sivas has practically an equal number of Turks and Armenians. Both in area, even after probable delinitations on the Armenian side and in the Smyrna region claimed by the Greeks, and in natural wealth, An atolla will be more than amply sufficient to sustain the estimated 6,GO0, ,00O or 7.OO0. 000 Turks, including those scattered in other parts of Asia Minor and European

Turkey. It could support, under modern systems and irrigation and cultivation. three or more times the, number of its present population. It is one of the rich est territories in the east in fertility, for estry and mineral deposits. It should be all that the Turks may reasonably lay claim to, aside from Smyrna with it's hin. terland, which Greece is coveting, and Ccnstantinople, with adjacent territories. which is likely to be placed in a special status. There is even a question of whether Adalia with it's hinterland, which constitutes a part of the extreme claim ot Armenia, may not be separated from Anatolia to be taken under an Italian mandate, as Italy is insistent that she be given the territory assigned to her under her treaty with France and Great Brit am, Just after the beginning of the war If the latter two nations are to become mandatories in the near east
