SOUTHERN AIR ROUTES
Be IN c CHA RTED BY
EAST COAST PAT TROL

New York, Dec. 13-Air routes be-
tween New York and Boston and as
far south as the Carolinas are being
charted by the Atlantic coast patrol
Of the United States army air service
according to Col. Archie Miller, com.
manding the Mitchell and Hazelhurst
fields on Long Island.
The army flyers in six De Haviland
and four bombing machines with
twelve De Haviland and four bombers
in reserve, are to continue all winter
cross country work, general map max
ing, course charting and reporting
ships in distress at sea. The latter
feature will be accomplished by means
Of wireless equipment installed in the
patrol planes. The radio also will be
used in case the flyers need to sum
mon assistance.
Colonel Miller said the flyers were
giving an excellent demonstration of
how an army airplane and pilot may
be utilized to advantage in time Of
peace. An observer accompanies each
De Haviland plane. Each machine
he said has an increased gas carrying
capacity. Inc fTSL aero 81 uduTOIl
was organized and trained at Kelly
field, Texas, shortly after the outbreak
Of the war and was later sent over
seas where it saw much active ser
vice. Army flyers have long been do
ing Mexican border patrol work but
it is the first time, the colonel said,
that they have been employed in sim
liar active service elsewhere.
Extension of the service to include
mapping Of aerial routes on the At
lantic seaboard and later the middle
Atlantic states, is said to be in con
temptation. At present while one-third
Of the First Aero Squadron personnel
is out on patrol work the other two
thirds are resting. All flights are non

New York, March 5.-President
Wilson sailed today on his second
voyage to France, determined, as he
said in his Metropolitan Opera
House speech here last night, not to
"come back till it's over over there "
The transport George Washington,
bearing the presidential party left
the Hoboken, New Jersey, pier at e:15
a. M.
The chief executives departure
was marked by a simplicity which
contrasted with the noisy demcnstra-
ton given him when the George
Washington carried Mr.. Wilson on
his first journey to Paris last Pc
eember.
Today there was only a small
crowd Of persons assembled at the
pier. To these the president, hat in
hand, and Mrs. Wilson waved fare
well greetings as the George Wash
ington swung out into the lower Hud-
son River while the band on the trans
port Great Northern, berthed nearby
played the "Star Spangled Banner"
Standing on the bridge the president
and his wife saw the American flag
raised on the staff at the stern and
heard the booming salute of the presi-
Dental salute of twenty one guns.
The transport pointed her nose to-
ward the Statue Of Liberty while the
destroyer convoy got underway
ahead. The harbor was nearly desert
ed because of the strike of marine
workers. Mr.. Wilson had been up
and about the decks for nearly two
hours, having been the first of the
presidential party to appear. Most OF
the others were asleep when the
transport sailed.
AS the transport was about to sail,
it was discovered that someone had
neglected to bring aboard the morn
ing newspapers, the lines were made
fast to the gangplank when the presi-
dents orderly, while clutching a dol
lar bill in his hand rushed across the
plank, onto the pier and hurried to a
news stand where He purchased the
papers. This incident delayed for a
few minutes the vessels departure. In
addition to the president and Mrs.
Wilson, the party on board the George
Washington included Miss Benham,
secretary to Mrs, Wilson, rear Ad-
miral Cary t. Grayson, aid to the
! president, former attorney general
Thomas w. Gregory. Pretisss-, Grey, of

About 5000 tons of supplies for the

quarantine at 9:15 A. M. and was sa-
luted by q guns by the United States
ship Amphrite and by whistles blown
by all the steam craft in the lower

Owing to the harbor strike there
were no private tugs available to
tow the George Washington out into
