the vocational school planned in con-

TRANS ATLANTIC
filters To LEAVE
ROCKAWAY BEACH
Naval Planes May Attempt to
Make Nonstop Flight to
Ireland or May Take on Fuel
at the Azores.
toy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE

Washington, March 24.-Naval sea-
planes which are to attempt a flight
across the Atlantic ocean in May will
start from Rockaway Beach, Long Is
land, but the actual jumping off
place will be much farther up the
coast, possibly at some point III New
fOundland. Whether the machines will
steer direct course for Ireland or
follow the longer route via the Azores
apparently has not been determined.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt an
nounced today that the destroyer Bar
ney had been ordered to proceed to
Newfoundland to investigate the har-
Dor facilities along the coast for the
purpose of determining the best base
from which the planes could put out
overseas, and harbors in which land
ings could be made if it became nee
essary to descend in the voyage from
Rockaway to the flight base.
Unless difficulties with ice floes are
encountered, the Barney is expected
to return to the United States in
about ten days, when the officers will
submit their report.
In disclosing that the planes would
leave the naval aviation station on
Long Island, Mr.. Roosevelt said the
aircraft will be refueled and given a
final tuning up before they actually
depart overseas.
Several machines are being pre-
pared for the flight and two or more
very probably will make the start.
Three planes of the n. C. / type have
been completed and fourth one is
nearing completion at the Curtiss
plant at Garden City, n. Y. Extensive
tests of the n. C. l have been COM
pleted and fifty-one passengers Were
carried on one of her flights.
Whether it will be possible for the
machines to carry sufficient fuel to
carry them across the Atlantic has
not been made known. They could re-
fuel at the Azores without difficulty
and some officers believe it would be
entirely possible under favorable
weather conditions for them to re-
plenish their gas supply in mid-Atlan-
tie from a ship with which a rendez-
VOWS could he arranged beforehand.
Detailed plans of the flight are be-
ing carefully safeguarded and there
has been no intimation as to whether
the machines will keep together or
follow different routes. In view of the
announcement that destroyers will be
stationed along the route to safeguard
the crews in the event of accidents,
most officers believe, however, the
flying craft will follow one course.
The navy department has not en-
tered for the $4,000 prize of the Lon
don Daily Mail for the first aircraft
that completes the trans Atlantic
flight. At the department today il
was said that no inquiries had even
been made as to conditions under
which the offer was made. Several

BUILDING BOOM IS ON
AT CAPITAL OF STATE

SPECIAL coHRtsronosacs TO MORNING JOURNAL
Santa Fe, n. NJ, March 24.--The
building boom which it was predicted
would follow the war has already hit
Santa Fe. In addition to the federal
building to cost almost 100000 on
which construction is to start as soon
as title to needed land is cleared and
which is to be reared in New Mexico
style like the new museum, there
were announced during the past few
days seven important real estate
deals or contemplated ,buildingp.
Former Sheriff Charles Closson has
given the contract for a new garage
in New Mexico styleF right opposite
the copitol and executive mansion on
the north bank of the Santa Fe, on
which construction is to start this
week. Sheriff George w Armijo has
acquired the socalled Improvement
Row on College street, and is tear
ing down part Of it to make room
for a fine modern dwelling in New
Mexico style. Attorney Charles c.
Catron has had plans drawn for a
$4,000 residence in New Mexico
style. The Santa Fe club also has
plans drawn for a 100000 home in
New Mexico style. Dan Kelly of
Gross Kelly and company, has ac-
quired, so it is reported, the residence
of Attorney Frank Lavan on Lincoln
avenue, at a consideration around
SIS, 900. Wesley Bradfied, curator of
the new museum, has purchased the
double Martinez house on Chapelle
street and will transform 1t into New
Mexico styly as will also Guy p. Har-
rington the residence he bought this
week on the same street. Mrs.
George Riddle has bought the two
story, ten-room modern Harrison res
idence on East Palace avenue. Three
more sales are pending to be closed
this week, while plans are being
drawn for five more new residences
in New Mexico style.

that distribution of the German and
Austrian ships would IN any degree
compensate France. The financial
condition of France does not war;
rant an" addition 20 her armament.
| Elimination of the fleet of her ancient
enemy would render unnecessary any
addition to the French fleet Aside
from these reasons, even though very
real benefit would come to France
from distribution. such benefit to a
single nation should not outweigh the
interests of the rest of the world.
Tables were attached to the report
showing how distribution would af-
feet the strength of various navles.
Great Britain's capital ships would
be increased from AZ to 63 per cent
Japan's from 13 to IS per cent, and
| Frances from to 10 per cent, and
! ltaly's from to II per cent. Distri-
button of minor craft would follow
the same ratios.
| Clear demonstration is made in the
report that the direct effect of dis
| tribution would be to sDur naval
| building throughout the world, while
a plan of destruction woald lend itself
readily to the regulation of naval
| programs, to be so arranged, it is
hoped, as eventually to enable Great
| Britain and America to balance each
other in naval strength.
Following analysis of the tables,
! the memorandum continues along
these lines: It is believed to be es-
sential that the matter of distribution
of the German and Austrian naval
craft shall be settled in the terms of
the peace treaty. Unless Il decision
may now be reached as part of the
peace terms, there will bet increasing
dlfficulty IN reaching an agreement
and the disposition of the vessels will
be favorable to the strongest naval
power and thus vitality affect our rel
alive naval strength.
Since, so far as known, there will
be but one treaty, and that with Ger
many, and since the disposition of
the GermanAustrian ships will be
one OF the principal points to be de-
cided by treaty, if the disposition of
the ships is not definitely provided in
the treaty there will he no binding
provision between the allies and the
United States that will determine the
final disposition of the surrendered
fleets.
Controlling reasons whv the fleets
should not be distributed may be
briefly summarized from the memo
randum as follows: The covenant of
the League of Nations requires the
reduction of ornaments Distribu-
ton would increase the ornaments
of the great powers by more than 80
per cent A stable League of Ma
tons requires two equally great navies.
Distribution would make it impos-
sible for the American navy to over
take the British navy for many
years.
See Future Friction.
World conditions demand the re-
moVal OF sources of friction. and
they require that taxation be re-
duced. Distribution would furnish an
endless cause for friction and i'll feel
ing, not only on the part of Germany
but also among the allies.
World interests demand that no
single power shall rule the sea against
all powers. Distribution would es-
tablish single-power rule more firmly
