club, just back from overseas service,
is to see to it that aviation remains
live thing to every man, woman and
child in the country"
1t is equally, or perhaps even more,
their object to see to it that every
American aviator is provided with a
rendezvous of a sort which, they de-
clare, never before has been possible.
First of ALL" said Lieutenant
Cahen, "our organization is an army
organization. The government and the
United States army are actively behind
it. Major General Charles T. Men
oher, head of the aviation section, is
our honorary president. Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood is our honorary
vice president. Practically every
American flyer you ever heard of is
a member. Every American flyer you re
ever going to hear of is going to be-
And American flyers are first, last and
all the time to be made to realize that
it is their club and no one else's, to
be run as they wish"
Nine weeks ago the new organization
moved into It's present quarters on
Thirty-eighth Street. The actual be-
ginning, though, was made just a year
ago on the flying fields of Flanders
Credit for that beginning is given by
the boys primarily to Laurence L.
briggs, the magazine writer.

the surface sending set was discarded
at Trepassey, N. F., before the machine
started for the Azores.
He can couple up the wireless tele-
phone set with which the seaplane is
equipped to the skid fin" aerial
stretched between the two fins on the
extreme edges of the upper wings of
the seaplane. In this manner he would
be able to talk by word of mouth over
an approximate distance of about ten
miles, which if persistently kept up
might be caught by one of the search
ing destroyers.
By inserting a sending key in the
place of the telephone transmitter he
would be able to use the set as a wire
less telegraph sending apparatus, in
which case the range would be ex-
tended by four or five miles. The only
difficulty in this case would be due
to the fact that he would be sending
on "undamped" waves which the de-
stroyers are not especially equipped to
receive. There is no reason, however,
why the operators of the destroyers

Louis Bleriot, Channel
FHer, Says americans
Make His Feat Small

PARIS, May 18.-All the newspapers
pay warm tribute to the feat of the
American seaplanes in flying across
the Atlantic from Newfoundland to the
Azores, and say that May II marks
one of the great events in the history
of the world.
Louis Bleriot. in the "Excelsior," re-
calls his flight across the English
Channel ten years ago. He said his
flight at that time was deemed an ex-
traordlnary performance, but it was
insignificant compared with the bril-
liant exploit of the American naval
officers. He declares that none better
than he is able to appreciate their
prowess, and says he is glad to see
the Americans succeed, although
French aviators showed the way.

work in connection with their duties as
and Handyside firms. They have been
we'll aware that success on the part of
either would be merely a "sporting
win, and that the Americans, through
their claborately preparation flight,
would be re..arded as the actual pio-
neers Of air travel across the Atlantic.
Flight Their Life Ambition
Both Hawker and Raynham have told
ne at different times that a successful
fight between America and Great Brit
ain was their life ambition. In 1913
Hawker was the sole survivor Of the
seaplane race around Britain. 1t was
sheer determination under the disad-
vantage of a disabled arm and bodily
exhaustion that brought him through.
On being complimented on his pluck
he replied that he would want more
than he had already shown when he
could get a machine capable of cross
ing "the pond" Following this event
Hawker returned to Australia and be-
came Identified with aeronautical prog
ress in that country, breaking several
altitude records.
Raynham's principal, crasswater ex-
ploit was his fight in an Avro hydro
aeroplane to Helgoland one of the
tests that Germany demanded be filled
before she purchased the machine
This was in 1912, and although the
long talked Of German invasion seemed
as far distant as ever Rynham after
ward expressed regret that the Avro
had not failed in the test and so
baked Germany's desire to learn the
design and principles Of the machine.
Race Marred by Mishap.
After the weeks of weary delay cul-
minating in yesterdays jump off,
believe Hawker is no less disappointed
than Raynham at the latter's mishap
Neither of them cares for the plaudits
of solo accomplishment where the
zest Of the contest has been marred.
SO far as Great Britain is con
cerned the congratulations of the en-
tire nation win be most sincerely &C
corded the commanders and crews ant
designer of the NCs. AS matter ot
fact, every aeronautcal enthusiast il
the world has hoped that the United
States would attain distinction il
aerial effort. The backwardness of this
country heretofore has not been the
fault of American aircraft designer!
or aviators or would-be flying men.

lantic flight by American flying Graf
