CHICAGO, May 15.-Daily air mail
service between Chicago and Cleveland
was started this morning when planes
lett both cities simultaneously and
made the 350-mile trip without Incl
dent.
The first plane left here at 9:35
o'clock, piloted by Trent c. Fry. 1t

type, carrying a mail bag weighing
450 pounds. 1t arrived in Cleveland
at 12:4S p. M, making the trip from
Chicago in three hours and thirteen
minutes, including a minute stop
at Bryan, Ohio.
The plane which left Cleveland at
lo:30 o'clock, piloted by Edward Gard

Park and followed the New York Cen
tral tracks to the west, reaching
Bryan, Ohio at 11:15 and South Bend
at l2;4O o'clock: 1t arrived in Chicago

But the actual flying time was some
twenty minutes less, that period having
been consumed in transferring the
westbound mail at the Bryan, Ohio.

British Flight Hazardous
The British Air Minstry's report of
the flight of the NS-ll early this year
stated the craft had made a circuit of
the North Sea by way of Denmark,
Schleswig- Holstein Helgoland, North
Germany and Holland
The airship's troubles began on the
return trip from the German coast.
The wind became stronger and more
tempcstuous. At midnight one engine
became useless and the ship was forced
considerable distance to lceward.
During the last stage of the voyage
the wind was violent and the crew had
great difficulty in controlling the ship
All suffered intensely from seasick-
ness. The flight was carried out en-

NC,3 to get started on the transatlantic

NC-3 to get started on the transatlantic
fight caused no apprehension.
1t was confidently expected that the
planes. possibly accompanied by the
NC-4, which arrived at Trepassey Bay
during the day, would get under way
just before sundown tomorrow and
reach the Azores some time Saturday
afternoon.
rTheNavy Department had no official
reports at a late hour, either as to the
attempts Of the planes at Trepassey
to get intQ the air carrying@the maxi
mum quantity Of gasolene or as to the
arrival there of the NC-4. Communi-
cation with Trepassey Bay is hampered
by the fact that messages must be re-
layed through British radio stations,
and the British communication service
is not specially keyed up for the trans
Atlantic event as the American service
has been.
Start an Experiment
The efforts of Commander Towers
and Lieutenant Commander Bellnger
to get the NC-1 and NC-3 into the air
to-day to begin the flight to Europe
probably We're in the nature of an ex-
perimental start, officers here said, al
though, had the machines succeeded in
lifting the heavy loads, they carried,
without question, shey would have pro-
ceeded.
The first necessity for successful
flight to Europe, it was pointed out, is
that the planes should have the great
est possible supply of fuel for their
engines. With rated maximum fuel
capacity of more than 1000 pounds,
there remained "factor of safety" in
the specifications of the vessels, and it
is believed Commander Towers is en-
croaching upon this to Increase the
, amount of fuel with which he starts.
His purpose is believed to be to get
into air with enough gasolene in the
tanks to make his vessels Just able to
rise and no more. Their load will de-
crease with every moment of their
flight as the engines burn up the gaso-
lene, and they thus will be safe in air
with any weight they are able to lift
from the surface of the water
Officers here who have been in closest
touch with the plans and difficulties
Of the fight have counted upon at
least one false start and are convinced
that the machines will get away to-
morrow afternoon, weather permitting.
The arrival Of the NC-4, however. NAV
persuade Commander Towers to wait
even another day until that boat can
be made fully ready and the original
group Of three planes make the start
together.

New Allied States
Praised for Work
On Peace Problems
Countries of Southeastern
and Central Europe Stable
But Need Food, Accord
ing to Administration

The governments of the newly liber-
ated states of Central and Southeast
ern Europe are displaying stability
an dreliability beyond anticipation, ac-
cording to reports received by the
American Relief Administration from
authentic sources and made public
here yesterday. Poland, in aprticular,
receives high praise for the manner in
which she is facing the tremendous
problems the end Of the war and the
birth of the nation have brought. The
bulletin issued by the administration
says:
with all its other difficult problems
to face, Poland is in addition actively
fighting Bolshevism, not only for its
own sake, but for the sake of the
world. The Pilsudski government re-
mains stable and is worthy of the
greatest respect. 1t is making much
progress in setting up a national and
economic life for the new Polish ma
ton. 1t recognizes as its first duty a
betterment of the conditions of the
peasants and the upbuilding of a
strong middle class"
Food and Supplies Needed
The bulletin adds that Poland is in
desperate need Of food, clothes, raw
Lateral and machinery for its idle
factories. Sixty per cent of her last
harvest was carried away by the Ger
mans.
OF Rumania the Food Administration
says the people need food, and that
it is very difficult to distribute sup
plies there owing to the breakup of
her transportation systems, bat adds
that the government remains stable
beyond anticipation.
Finland, whose government recently
has been recognized by the United
States, is declared to form one of the
bulwarks against Bolshevism. Neither
Russian nor German Bolshevism," says
the bulletin, "has been able to gain a
foothold in this new state"
Equal praise is given to the newly
constituted administration of Czecho-
Slovokia, the state which has sprung
into existence on the ruins of the for
mer Austro- Hungarian Empire. "The
government of Czecho- Slovakia," com
mcnts the bulletin, "has succeeded re-
markably we'll in holding the people
together. 1t gives every promise of
enduring success for the new nation
1t is pointed out that this state is bet
ter off than many of her neighbors in
regard to food.

Fake Aviator CIides
Straight Into Elmira

Samuel Baker, twenty years old, of
1891 Seventh Avenue, was sent to Ell
mira yesterday for an indeterminate
term by Judge Wadhams. in General
Sessions, on a charge of grand larceny:
He had masqueraded as an officer of
the army aviation corps.
Judge Wadhams was informed by
Probation Officer Halperin that Baker,
under various aliases, told all he could
persuade to listen how he brought
oown enemy airplanes in France, and
that at one time he was attacked by
twenty German aviators, but was able
to bring them all down. Investga-
tion showed that the defendant had
swindled number of hotels as we'll as

stores.
The specific charge against Baker
was made by Browning, King & Co.,
where he bought an officers uniform
for $75, giving in return bad check
for $95, and receiving the difference in
cash.

Crowen Report
Resume of Wartime Pro-
duction Cites Problems
That Confronted Nation
in Meeting Emergency

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Charges
made last year that the United States
aerial production programme had failed
because of inefficiency and irregulari-
ties, are answered in detailed report
compiled under the direction Of As.
slstant Secretary of War Benedict
Crowell and given out for publication
to-day.
The report cites the problem of OBJ
tanning expert workmanship for the
output of battle planes, the lack of
knowledge then in this country on the
subject of military aeronautics, the
difficulty in obtaining materials for
the building and assembling of the
various parts of the machines and con-
stant change in plans incident to un-
expected developments in practical
aeronautical combat.
Many features of the aircraft in
not generally known are embraced in
the report, which is written from an
historical angle. 1t says:
In January and February or 1917 the
signal corps discussed the feasibility
OF building 1000 planes in a year Of
construction. This seems now to us a
ridiculously low figure, but in the early
weeks of 1917 the construction of a
thousand airplanes appeared a formid-
able undertaking. In March, when war
was inevitable, we raised this number
to $500 planes within twelve months;
IN April, when war was declared, we
raised it again to 3,7Ou.
"It was evident that we could not
equip an airplane industry and fur
nlsh machines to our fliers before the
summer of 1918; and so we arranged
with France for this equipment by
placing orders with French factories
Tor 5,S75 planes of regular French de-
sign These were all to be delivered
by July l, 1918.
On the day the armstice was signed
we had received from all sources IT,
142 planes. Of these 5,15S had been
produced for us by the Allies. We had
forty-eight flying fields, 20,56S Air Ser
vice officers, and 174,45s enlisted men
and civilian personnel. These figures
40 not mean that we had more than
$4,000 planes on hand at that time.
because the mortality in airplanes is
high from accidents and ordinary wear
and tear.
while at first we expected to relv
upon the unaided efforts of the lumber
producers, labor difficulties almost
lmmedlately arose in the Northwest st
to hinder the production of lumber.
BY the middle of October, 1917, it be-
came evident that the Northwe stern
lumber industry unaided could not de-
liver the spruce and fir, and the chief
OF staff of the army formed a military
organization to handle the situation.
The Liberty engine was Americas
distinctive contribution to the war
in the air. 1t was developed in those
first chaotic weeks of preparation of
1917, when our knowledge of planes,
instruments and armament as then
known in Europe was still thing of
he future. While waiting word from
Europe as to the best type of wings,
fuselages, instruments and the like
we went ahead to produce for our
selves new, typically American en-
gine which would uphold the prestige
of America in actual battle"

The equipment discarded includes

absolute limit, and are said to include

The fog which made the flotilla of

This finally gave way to a clear blue

9OO-Mile Trip by NauaI
Dirigible Longest Made
BY NOn-Rieid 4irshiD

The flight Of the United States naval
dirigible C-5 from Montauk, l.. l., to
st. Johns, N. F., established worlds
record for non-rigid airships of the
"blimp" type for total distance COW
cred without stop. 1t compares favor
ably with the performances of the
much larger types of airships, both
rigid and non-rigid.
The longest distance ever covered by
lighter-than-air ship was done in
November, 1917, by the German naval
Zeppelin L-b9, which in "a later fight
was shot down in the Otranto Chan
mel, Italy. with the loss of its entire
crew. The giant Zeppelin covered
4,oVo miles without stop in exactly
four days.
Another notable fight was per-
formed entirely over water by the
d Dritish non-rigid airship OF the
North Sea" type NS-11, which early
this year made circuit Of the North
